Israeli forces have killed dozens of people in Gaza despite having a ceasefire agreement. At least 23 Palestinians have been killed since the peace deal was signed.
The ceasefire has been on a razor’s edge since it went into effect. While hostages have been released, and the remains of deceased hostages have been returned, people are still dying in the conflict.
In addition to those killed in attacks, the Gaza Health Ministry said that 122 others have been wounded in the same period of time, since the beginning of the ceasefire. The circumstances of the attacks vary, but the death toll underscores the precarious situation on the ground. Perhaps the war is not over as we are being told.

According to a report by Natural News, the Israeli military has attempted to justify some of these shootings by claiming that Palestinians have ignored warnings not to approach Israeli ceasefire positions. Israel has threatened to kill anyone who crosses a unilaterally declared “yellow line,” the boundary to which its forces withdrew when the truce began.
One incident occurred in Gaza City’s Shujaiya neighborhood. The IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) claimed that the five Palestinians who were killed had crossed this arbitrary line and posed a “threat.” Reports did not allege that any of the deceased were armed. Palestinian reports, however, said the individuals were in the neighborhood simply inspecting their homes, a common scene as residents return to see what remains of their properties.
One benefit of the ceasefire has been the increase in humanitarian aid to Gazans. While still largely insufficient, it has improved. Gaza has been on the brink of a mass famine, with aid groups reporting that hundreds of thousands face acute hunger. The World Food Programme has resumed support for bakeries, and dozens of trucks are now entering daily with flour and essential goods.
