962 Gaza ceasefire violations by Israel
According to the report, the occupiers committed 77 shooting operations, 45 operations to infiltrate Palestinian areas with military vehicles, 37 bombing and targeting operations in various areas of the Gaza Strip, 5 actions to arrest drivers and fishermen, 210 flights over the Gaza Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of 98 people and the injury of 490 others.
According to the report, the occupiers have violated the ceasefire agreement in various ways since it was implemented on January 19, 2025.
First; Field Violations:
- The occupying forces continued to advance and breach the retreated lines nearly daily during this time, particularly along the Philadelphia axis, surpassing the 300–500 m agreed-upon distances. This action was accompanied by shooting, killing civilians, demolishing homes and land, and removing war-damaged vehicles.
- Despite Israel's pledge to immediately withdraw after the four prisoners were turned over in the second round of the prisoner exchange, the withdrawal from Al-Rashid and Salah al-Din streets was postponed for two full days, preventing Palestinian refugees from returning to their homes. For 48 hours, Israel used a variety of excuses to avoid fulfilling this commitment, even after the four prisoners were turned over.
- Preventing fishermen from going to sea to work, shooting at them and arresting some of them, although the agreement did not mention the ban on fishing or recreation on the beach.
- The occupation forces conducted daily 10 to 12-hour flight operations over the Gaza Strip. Various drones such as Hermes 450, Hermes 900, Harun, Tzofit and quadcopters flew over the area, especially in the places designated for the prisoner exchange, and some of these drones were equipped with ammunition.
Second; Violations related to prisoners:
- Delay of two to six hours in the release of Palestinian prisoners in all stages of the prisoner exchange. This was while, according to the agreement, the Israelis were supposed to release Palestinian prisoners after one hour had passed since the handover of their prisoners.
- In the last round of prisoner exchange, the Zionists delayed the release of more than 600 Palestinians by five days under false pretenses.
- On February 15 and 26, the Zionists forced the Palestinian prisoners they were supposed to release to wear clothes with racist and hateful concepts on them.
- Israel’s failure to adhere to the agreed release of prisoners. The Zionist regime refused to release 47 Palestinian prisoners and insisted on exchanging them for other prisoners.
- The Zionists did not reveal the names of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners from Gaza, and only announced the names of 2,400 Palestinian prisoners.
- Israel has refused to release two Palestinian prisoners from Gaza, Tariq Labid and Rami Khalil al-Halabi, who were supposed to be released after October 7, 2023, according to an agreement with Palestinian prisoners captured after that date.
- The Palestinian prisoners were beaten, tortured, and humiliated until their release.
- Preventing the release of an elderly Palestinian woman prisoner named Siham Musa Abu Salem, 70, from Gaza
- Preventing families of Palestinian prisoners from the West Bank from traveling abroad to meet with the freed exiles.
Third; Violation on the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip:
- Israel was supposed to enter the Gaza Strip daily with 50 fuel trucks, according to the agreement, but over the course of 42 days, only 978 fuel trucks entered the area, which is only 46.5 percent of the agreed amount. Over the last two days, only 10 trucks entered the Gaza Strip.
- Preventing the entry of any fuel into the commercial sector, despite this being mentioned in the text of the ceasefire agreement.
- Failure to enter 200,000 tents into the Gaza Strip. Only 66 percent of this amount, or 132,000 tents, entered the Gaza Strip.
- Prevention of the entry of 60,000 prefabricated houses into the Gaza Strip, as agreed. During this period, only 15 prefabricated houses were entered.
- Failure to enter heavy equipment to remove rubble and extract the bodies of Palestinian martyrs from under the rubble. Only 9 heavy vehicles entered the Gaza Strip for this purpose, while 500 heavy vehicles had been agreed upon.
- Preventing the entry of construction materials and medical equipment needed to rebuild infrastructure, hospitals and civil defense.
- Preventing the entry of agreed ambulances. Only 5 ambulances have arrived during this period.
- Banning the import of poultry, live livestock and commercial feed.
- Preventing the entry of civil defense equipment to extract thousands of bodies trapped under the rubble.
- Preventing the operation of the power plant and the entry of rehabilitation equipment.
- Preventing the entry of cash into banks and refusing to exchange old banknotes.
Fourth; Violation on the Rafah crossing:
- The Rafah crossing remains closed to civilians and the number of sick and injured passengers leaving the Gaza Strip through this crossing has not increased to complete treatment.
- Continuing travel restrictions and even intensifying them instead of easing them.
- Preventing the resumption of the movement of goods and trade through the crossing.
- Failure to open the crossing based on the August 2024 consultations.
- Returning dozens of sick and injured passengers despite the agreement to travel outside the Gaza Strip to complete treatment.
Fifth; Violation of the Salah al-Din axis:
- Failure to gradually reduce the number of Israeli occupation troops in the Salah al-Din axis as the mediators promised.
- Continuing the incursion of Israeli occupation troops at deeper distances daily instead of reducing the military presence.
- Failure of the occupiers to withdraw from the Salah al-Din axis on the forty-second day as agreed.
Sixth; Political violation:
Although the agreement stipulated that the second phase of negotiations would begin 16 days after the signing of the first phase of the ceasefire, Israel emphasizes the need to extend the first phase of the agreement in order to release more prisoners and then resume the war.
