On the very day when the world celebrates peace, Israeli fire killed a Palestinian child and woman in Gaza, and wounded 11 others.
The United Nations' International Day of Peace, also known as World Peace Day, is observed on September 21 to promote an end to war and violence. But since the October 2025 ceasefire, Israel has killed at least 1,393 Palestinians and injured another 4,822 in Gaza, according to the enclave's health ministry.
