The big picture:
Hamas decries Israeli forces for targeting civilians, blocking aid, violating territorial boundaries, and abusing detainees and martyrs’ remains. It says these actions undermine the agreement and constitute war crimes.
Israel has justified its recent ceasefire violation by claiming that Hamas has breached the ceasefire by orchestrating an attack, yet the recent explosion in Rafah was caused by an Israeli settler bulldozer running over unexploded ordnance, according to local sources.
By the numbers:
- 46 civilians have been killed and 132 injured, most of them children, women, and civilians.
- Only 7.1% of the fuel deliveries agreed upon entered Gaza.
- 150 martyrs’ bodies returned, many bearing signs of execution.
What they’re saying:
Hamas reiterates its commitment to the agreement and calls on mediators and guarantors to ensure that the occupying regime respects all provisions and halts violations that threaten to undermine it.
Hamas stresses that it has fully complied with the agreement to promote stability and alleviate suffering in the Gaza Strip, while the occupation regime persistently issues threats and violates the deal.
Hamas urges mediators to pressure Israel to honor the ceasefire agreement, warning that ongoing violations risk collapsing the fragile ceasefire.
What’s next:
The group urges international intervention to ensure accountability and protect civilians in Gaza.
