According to Gaza’s Government Media Office, as of November 22, Israel has committed 497 violations of the ‘ceasefire’ agreement, since it came into effect on October 11.
Israel has killed 342 Palestinians and injured 875 since the ‘ceasefire’ agreement
These ongoing violations have led to Israel killing 342 civilians and injuring a further 875. The Zionist entity has also arbitrarily detained 35 people during incursions and raids during the past six weeks. The Government Media Office says these figures reaffirm:
the occupation’s insistence on undermining the agreement and creating a bloody reality on the ground, that threatens security and stability in the Strip.
Israel is taking these actions in clear defiance of all legal and moral obligations:
The violations committed by the Israeli occupation include 142 incidents of direct gunfire targeting civilians, homes, residential neighbourhoods, and displaced person’s tents; 21 incursions carried out by military vehicles into residential and areas beyond the temporary yellow line; 228 bombardment and targeting operations by land, air and artillery; as well as 100 demolitions of homes and civilian facilities:
These all constitute a systematic crime aimed at expanding destruction and collectively punishing the population. This is a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions.
Lines crossed
According to the Government Media Office, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) have now advanced around 300 metres beyond the so called ‘yellow line’ in Gaza City. Under the first phase of the ‘ceasefire’ deal, the IOF was required to retreat to this yellow line. But this still leaves the occupation in control of 58% of Gaza.
Yesterday, 22 November, Israel violated the ‘ceasefire’ agreement 27 times:
It launched a wave of airstrikes and artillery shelling across the Strip. These killed at least 24 Palestinians and injured 87 others. The targets included a vehicle in a crowded residential area of Gaza City, and two separate homes in Al Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
Israel launched the attacks after claiming its soldiers were attacked by Hamas. But the Zionist regime has used these fabricated pretexts regularly, to systematically violate the agreement, on a daily basis. According to Hamas, this is so the occupation is able to “evade the agreement and return to the war of genocide”:
67 children killed by ‘Israel’ since ‘in six weeks of ‘ceasefire’
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, as of 22 November Israel has killed more than 69,733 Palestinians and injured 170,863 since October 7, 2023. UNICEF says at least 67 children have been killed by the occupation since the ‘ceasefire’ was announced. This is an average of almost two a day, every day since October 11.
