Gaza's Media Office Accuses Israel of Repeated Ceasefire Violations, Killing 38 Palestinians
The Gaza media office has released a statement accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement 47 times since its implementation in early October, resulting in the deaths of at least 38 Palestinians and wounding 143 others. The violations include direct gunfire against civilians, deliberate shelling, and the arrest of several individuals.
According to the statement, these actions demonstrate Israel's continued policy of aggression despite the declared end of the war. Authorities in Gaza have called on the United Nations and guarantor parties of the agreement to intervene urgently to bring an end to Israel's ongoing aggression and protect unarmed civilian populations.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that the Rafah crossing, a crucial entry point for aid, will remain closed until Hamas hands over the bodies of all deceased hostages still being held in Gaza. The Israeli military claims that two hostages were returned by Hamas as part of a ceasefire deal, but the Red Cross has not confirmed this.
Tragically, Friday's deadliest single violation of the fragile ceasefire occurred when 11 members of a Palestinian family were killed by Israeli forces. The family was attempting to reach their home in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City when their bus was attacked for allegedly crossing the "yellow line," an imaginary boundary that demarcates areas of Israeli army control.
The situation remains dire, with Gaza's civil defence agency estimating that approximately 10,000 people are trapped under debris and collapsed buildings. Aid deliveries remain critically scarce due to Israel's delays in allowing food convoys into the territory.
In a separate development, an Israeli strike on a construction vehicle in southern Lebanon has killed one man. Despite a November ceasefire, Israel continues to bomb Lebanon, citing concerns over the militant group Hezbollah.
As the situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, there are growing calls for intervention from the international community. The fate of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners remains uncertain, and their families continue to wait anxiously for news of their loved ones' fates.

Israel needs to stop with all these ceasefire violations and let civilians live in peace! 38 ppl are already dead and it's not even a week since the agreement ended 
10k ppl are trapped under debris can u imagine?! 
lets see some action from the UN and guarantor parties ASAP 
gotta get that Rafah crossing open for aid convoys to reach ppl in need 
38 Palestinians killed in a "ceasefire" that's basically just Israel doing whatever it wants. Like, are we seriously supposed to believe that all these "violations" are just accidental? I mean, who tries to kill an entire family on their way home from school? 
come on people we gotta chill Israel's got a right to defend itself too, can't just blame 'em for everything 
they're not gonna let Hamas get away with all that rocket fire and terrorism either Gaza's in a tough spot but we should be supporting both sides rather than pitting them against each other 
it's all about finding that balance, not taking sides 
the Red Cross is trying to help facilitate aid convoys here so let's support 'em 
. Meanwhile, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is all like "won't open Rafah crossing till Hamas hands over hostages" 
. And btw, Israel still can't stop bombing Lebanon despite Nov ceasefire 
Gaza's situation is literally dire - 10k ppl trapped under rubble & aid deliveries r super scarce cuz of Israel's drama 
I'm callin out on the UN & all the other countries 2 do smthn about dis 
Netanyahu needs 2 stop playin games & start takin responsibility 4 his army's actions 
Hezbollah is just trying 2 defend itself but no one seems 2 care 
. How can you even call it a "ceasefire" if there are still direct gunfights and deliberate shelling happening? It's like they're trying to make sure no Palestinian gets away unscathed 
. And what's up with the Rafah crossing being closed? Do they think aid is just going to magically appear? 
The fact that innocent civilians are getting killed over a bus ride home is just heartbreaking
