Ninety-seven Palestinians get killed by Israel’s truce violations
(MENAFN) The Gaza government has reported that at least 97 Palestinians have been killed and 230 injured by Israeli forces since a ceasefire took effect in the Gaza Strip on October 10, including 21 violations recorded on Sunday alone.
In a statement, the Gaza Government Media Office said that “the Israeli occupation committed 80 documented violations since the declaration of the ceasefire, in flagrant breach of international humanitarian law.” The statement detailed that violations included direct gunfire at civilians, shelling, deliberate targeting, creation of “fire belts,” and arrests of civilians.
According to the Gaza authorities, Israeli forces carried out the attacks using military vehicles, tanks stationed near residential areas, electronic cranes with remote targeting systems, warplanes, and quadcopter drones. “These violations were recorded in all governorates of the Gaza Strip without exception, confirming that the occupation has not adhered to the ceasefire and continues its policy of killing and terror against our people,” the statement added.
The Gaza government held the Israeli army fully responsible for the breaches and called on the United Nations and guarantor parties of the agreement to intervene urgently to halt further violations.
The ceasefire, brokered between Hamas and Israel under a plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, entered into force on October 10. The deal outlines a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces, a mutual prisoner exchange, immediate entry of humanitarian aid, and the disarmament of Hamas.
The truce brought an end to a two-year war that killed more than 68,000 Palestinians, injured roughly 170,000, and caused widespread destruction to Gaza’s infrastructure.
