Gaza Ceasefire Violated by Israel Nearly 500 Times, Over 340 Killed
Israel has violated the United States-brokered Gaza ceasefire at least 497 times in 44 days, killing hundreds of Palestinians since the truce came into effect on October 10, according to the Gaza Government Media Office.
Some 342 civilians have been killed in the attacks, with children, women and the elderly accounting for the majority of the victims.“We condemn in the strongest terms the continued serious and systematic violations of the ceasefire accord by the Israeli occupation authorities,” the office said in a statement on Saturday.“These violations constitute a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law and the humanitarian protocol attached to the agreement. Among these violations, 27 occurred today, Saturday, resulting in 24 martyrs and 87 wounded,” it added.The office also announced that Israel was fully responsible for the humanitarian and security repercussions from its violations.Israel continues to heavily restrict the full and free flow of desperately needed aid and medical supplies into the devastated enclave as was mandated in the ceasefire accord.Hamas accused Israel on Saturday of violating the truce “under fabricated pretexts” and called on mediators – the US, Egypt and Qatar – to intervene immediately.Hamas stressed that Israel has pushed Westwards beyond the yellow line, where Israeli troops are stationed in Gaza, and is changing the boundary set out as part of the deal.
