The Gaza Government Media Office reported Sunday that Israeli forces have committed 497 documented violations of the ceasefire agreement since it came into effect on October 10, in what it described as a breach of international humanitarian law.
The office said 27 violations occurred on Saturday alone, resulting in 24 Palestinians killed and 87 others wounded. Since the ceasefire began, a total of 342 civilians—mostly women, children, and the elderly—have been killed, and 875 injured. In addition, 35 Palestinians were arrested during incursions and raids, according to the statement.
The Gaza government condemned the ongoing violations and called on the United States, international mediators, and the UN Security Council to take immediate action to pressure Israel to halt the attacks.
The ceasefire was brokered following more than two years of Israeli military operations in Gaza, which left over 69,000 Palestinians dead, more than 170,000 injured, and nearly 90 percent of the territory’s infrastructure damaged.
