In the six weeks since Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire to end their two-year conflict, reports of Israeli attacks in Gaza have been constant. The truce, signed on October 9 as part of President Donald Trump’s peace plan, aimed to pause the violence while leaving unresolved issues for future negotiations.
Both parties have accused each other of violating the agreement and hindering progress on the peace plan. Data from Gaza’s Ministry of Health, monitored by Tech for Palestine, reveals a daily record of deaths since October 11.
Under the initial phase of the ceasefire, Israel agreed to withdraw to a demarcated boundary known as the “yellow line,” granting them control over more than half of Gaza. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz warned of consequences for any attempts to breach this line.
Incidents of deadly attacks have occurred both near and far from the designated yellow line. Recent reports suggest that the Israeli military has allegedly moved the yellow line 300 meters into eastern Gaza City, a claim denied by the Israeli military.
Since the ceasefire began on October 10, over 300 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 900 injured by Israeli forces, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. The Gaza Government reports that Israel has breached the ceasefire almost 500 times, including shootings, military incursions, bombings, and destruction of civilian structures.
Israel has reported the deaths of three soldiers since the ceasefire, targeting combatants in response. The conflict has resulted in the death of nearly 70,000 Palestinians and the severe injury of over 170,800, as per Gaza Health Ministry data. The conflict originated from a Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, resulting in significant casualties and hostages taken, according to Israeli reports.
