Deadly Ceasefire Breach in Gaza: Israeli Forces Kill 11 Family Members
A devastating strike by Israeli forces on a civilian vehicle in Gaza City has killed 11 members of the Abu Shaaban family, marking the deadliest single violation of the fragile eight-day ceasefire with Hamas. The attack occurred on Friday evening when a tank shell was fired at the vehicle carrying the family, who were attempting to reach their home.
The victims included seven children and three women, according to Gaza's civil defence spokesperson, Mahmoud Basal. "They could have been warned or dealt with differently," he said, condemning the Israeli occupation for its continued thirst for blood and insistence on committing crimes against innocent civilians.
Hamas condemned the attack as a "massacre" and accused Israel of targeting the family without justification. The group called on US President Donald Trump and mediators to pressure Israel to respect the ceasefire agreement.
The incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Palestinians in Gaza, where many lack internet access and are unaware of Israeli military positions along the demarcation lines, making them vulnerable to attacks. The Israeli Defence Minister, Israel Katz, has announced plans to mark out the yellow lines in Gaza for clarity.
However, despite efforts to maintain a fragile ceasefire, violence continues to erupt in Gaza. At least 28 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces, while the group's demands for the release of captives remain unresolved. The exchange of captives has seen heavy restrictions on aid deliveries, including food and medical supplies, exacerbating widespread malnutrition and famine.
The World Food Programme reports that aid convoys are struggling to reach famine-hit areas, with 49% of people accessing less than six litres of drinking water per day – far below emergency standards. Hamas remains committed to the ceasefire terms, but faces significant challenges in retrieving the remains of Israeli captives still under Gaza's rubble.
The situation on the ground remains dire, with Israel continuing to seal key border crossings and block entry to essential equipment for humanitarian aid. As the international community struggles to address the crisis, one thing is clear: the fragile ceasefire in Gaza hangs by a thread, threatened by ongoing violence and bureaucratic delays.

11 innocent lives lost including kids & women... how can we expect them to trust anyone when they're constantly being shot at or bombed in their own homes? 
i feel so bad for the family & all the other families in gaza who are living in fear every single day. it's just not right that israel keeps saying they want peace but then goes & kills ppl like this... meanwhile, we're over here worried about stuff like water shortages 
no kidding, 49% of people can't even get enough water to drink 
we need to do better than just sending aid convoys & expecting everything to be okay. we gotta make some real change & hold our leaders accountable 
Hamas is trying to keep the peace but they have their own issues too, I mean, who can just ignore people under rubble for that long? 
and the world is just watching from afar 
it's like, what are we going to do about this? 
anyway, its crazy how Hamas is trying to maintain the ceasefire and yet there are still so many challenges to overcome 
. We need more organizations like them to make a difference. And I'm hoping that by speaking out about this crisis, we might be able to raise awareness and get some action happening 
. But seriously, what's needed is a real commitment to peace and understanding between Israelis and Palestinians.
. But we need to keep going, for their sake as well as everyone else's. We can do better 
And those kids! Seven innocent children, gone 
.
. But at the same time, I get why Hamas is fighting back - they're scared for their lives too 
. It's all just so complicated... my head hurts thinking about it 
. If we could just make a more user-friendly system for aid deliveries, maybe some of this suffering wouldn't happen 
. Like, have you seen the maps they use to mark out the demarcation lines? So outdated 
... or at least, that's my two cents 
this is just devastating news, can't even begin to imagine how heartbreaking it must be for the Abu Shaaban family & all the ppl of Gaza who are struggling for peace. Israel's 'yellow lines' might seem like a good idea but let's not forget that in reality it's another excuse 4 more violence 
its not that hard 4 em tho cuz alot of ppl in gaza dont even no about israeli military positions cuz they cant even get internet 
& now dey r dyin cuz of it 
fam rn its all bout da aid deliveries getting blocked nd ppl dyin of starvation
