Why it matters:
Despite a formal ceasefire announced a month ago, the continued Israeli regime's strikes and civilian deaths suggest the ceasefire is not being respected. The persistent violations threaten fragile peace efforts, deepen Gaza’s humanitarian crisis, and undermine international mediation aimed at ending one of the deadliest genocides by the Israeli regime.
The big picture:
The Israeli regime launched its war on Gaza in October 2023, claiming its goal was to destroy Hamas and recover Israeli prisoners. After failing to achieve those objectives, Tel Aviv agreed to a ceasefire and prisoner-exchange deal in October 2025. Yet, according to Palestinian sources, Israeli forces have continued operations, airstrikes, and blockades, leading to further casualties and preventing reconstruction.
What he is saying:
The Gaza Health Ministry reported: “In the past 24 hours, the bodies of two martyrs and five wounded individuals were transferred to hospitals. Since the ceasefire took effect, 260 people have been killed and 632 wounded.”
It added that 533 bodies have been recovered from under the rubble since the ceasefire began, underscoring the scale of destruction across Gaza.
Key points:
- Deaths: 69,187 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023.
- Injuries: 170,703 people have been wounded.
- Ceasefire casualties: 260 killed and 632 injured since the October 10, 2025 ceasefire.
- Recoveries: 533 bodies retrieved from the rubble in the past month.
- Resistance groups: Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas) and Al-Quds Brigades (Islamic Jihad) announced plans to hand over the body of an Israeli prisoner to the Red Cross.
- Ceasefire terms: Israel had agreed to withdraw from most areas and allow movement between northern and southern Gaza, but reports indicate ongoing military presence and strikes.
