The renewed violence threatens the fragile ceasefire and the US-brokered disarmament deal, increasing geopolitical risk in the region. Defense and security stocks may see short-term gains, while reconstruction and healthcare-related investments in Gaza face further delays and uncertainty.
Days after Hamas announced acceptance of a US-backed disarmament deal, Israeli forces carried out a series of airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, killing at least eight Palestinians and destroying medical supply warehouses at Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital. The strikes, which also hit residential buildings and a pharmacy, drew condemnation from the Malaysia — Ministry of Health (Malaysia) and raised doubts about the durability of the ceasefire. Israel said it targeted Hamas operatives and weapons depots, including one near the hospital. Gaza's Civil Defence recovered 112 bodies from rubble in Gaza City, and the overall death toll since October 2023 reportedly exceeded 73,300. The deal, brokered by Donald Trump, includes Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawal, but Israel has not officially confirmed its acceptance, with a political source insisting on genuine disarmament.
