The Government Media Office in Gaza issued a strong statement condemning the ongoing actions of the Israeli Occupation, describing them as serious and systematic violations of the ceasefire agreement.
According to the statement, a total of 497 documented breaches had occurred as of Saturday evening, which the office labeled a “flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.”
Casualties from Saturday alone
The statement reported 27 violations on Saturday, resulting in 24 deaths and 87 injuries.
Overall impact since ceasefire
Since the ceasefire agreement came into effect, the violations have led to 342 civilian deaths, including mostly children, women, and the elderly, and 875 injuries of varying severity. Additionally, 35 civilians were arbitrarily detained during incursions and raids.
Types of violations
The Gaza government detailed the systematic nature of the ‘Israeli’ attacks, including:
- 142 incidents of direct gunfire targeting civilians, homes, and displaced persons’ tents.
- 21 ground incursions using ‘Israeli’ military vehicles that crossed temporary red lines.
- 228 air, ground, and artillery strikes.
- 100 demolitions of homes and civilian infrastructure, described as a “deliberate crime aimed at collective punishment.”
Calls for urgent international action
The statement outlined several demands and positions:
- Strong condemnation: Denouncing the violations against civilians and civilian infrastructure as a clear challenge to legal obligations.
- Accountability: Holding ‘Israel’ fully responsible for all consequences, warning that the continuation of these actions undermines any efforts toward calm.
- International intervention: Urging US President Donald Trump, mediating countries, guarantor parties, and the U.N. Security Council to “take serious and effective action to halt these attacks” and compel Israel to comply with the agreement.
- Threat to stability: Emphasizing that the ongoing violations threaten regional stability, noting that international pressure is essential to force adherence to international law.
