Gaza (QNN)- Gaza’s Government Media Office on Friday condemned Israel’s “serious and systematic violations” of the ceasefire agreement, noting that Israel had breached the truce over 1190 times since it came into force on October 10.
Attacks and Killings
The Office said Israel shot at civilians 384 times, raided residential areas beyond the “yellow line” 66 times, bombed and shelled Gaza 551 times, and demolished people’s properties on 192 occasions. It added that Israel had also abducted 50 Palestinians from Gaza.
At least 484 Palestinians have been killed and 1,206 others wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since the ceasefire began, it added.
Humanitarian Aid
Israel has also continued to block essential humanitarian aid from entering the enclave despite the ceasefire stipulating that “full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip”.
From October 10 to January 9, only 23,019 trucks have entered Gaza out of 54,000, averaging 255 trucks per day. That is only 43 percent of the trucks allocated.
In addition, Israel has blocked essential and nutritious food items, including meat, dairy, and vegetables, crucial for a balanced diet. Instead, non-nutritious foodstuffs are being allowed, such as snacks, chocolate, crisps, and soft drinks.
Shelters
The Office has warned of a rapidly deepening and unprecedented humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, as Israel continues to close border crossings and block the entry of tents, mobile homes, caravans, and other essential shelter materials, “in clear violation of existing agreements and international humanitarian law.”
The Office pointed to recent storms which have caused the collapse of 50 homes and buildings that had previously been damaged by Israeli bombardment, killing 15 civilians. People have also died from extreme cold inside tents. Meanwhile, more than 127,000 tents are no longer usable, leaving over 1.5 million displaced people without even the most basic level of protection.
What Hamas Says?
At least 14 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since Thursday morning, with strikes targeting shelters, tents, and residential homes.

On Thursday, Hamas condemned Israel’s recent bombardment of the Gaza Strip, describing it as a “dangerous criminal escalation” and a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire agreement.
The group said the Israeli attack on Gaza “aims to disrupt the situation, evade the agreement’s obligations, and obstruct the transition to the second phase.”
According to the Palestinian Civil Defense in Gaza, Israel has killed five children in less than 24 hours in attacks across the devastated territory, the youngest of whom was five years old.
The Palestinian group has called on the mediators and the states guaranteeing the ceasefire agreement to “condemn these serious violations, carried out under flimsy and fabricated pretexts by war criminal Netanyahu, and to exert pressure on the occupation to halt them and fully adhere to the terms of the agreement.”
Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad has warned that Israel’s “blatant and outrageous violations” threaten the ceasefire agreement.
Hamad, who is also a member of Hamas’s negotiating team, said Israel manipulated the terms of the ceasefire agreement. Mediators confirmed that Hamas did not commit a single violation of the agreement and fully adhered to it, he noted.
“The occupation army’s repeated violations are clear evidence that they are planned by the government.”
Hamad said that Israel violates the ceasefire 25 times a day.
Since the ceasefire took effect, Israel has killed about 400 Palestinians, more than 95% of them were civilians. “Israel killed civilians, particularly women and children, on purpose," and “wiped out entire families,” he said.
The official confirmed that the group provided the names of those killed by Israel during the ceasefire “in order to prove that the vast majority of them were civilians. We did, in fact, submit their names and ages, which clearly demonstrated that the killings were deliberately targeting civilians.”
Among them 36% were children, 15% women, 4% elderly, and 37% civilian men, “confirming that civilians were targeted despite the ceasefire.”
Recently, the group’s Gaza chief, Khalil al-Hayya, confirmed that Israel’s violations risk jeopardising the ceasefire deal in Gaza and the move towards the second and more complicated phase of the fragile agreement.
He called on mediators – US President Donald Trump in particular – “to work on obliging Israel to respect the ceasefire and commit to it”.
