⭕️ REPORT | Israeli forces have killed 238 children & 111 women since agreeing to a ceasefire last Oct,, according to a report shared by the Palestinian side w/ mediators & obtained by Drop Site News. Israeli attacks have killed 1,011 Palestinians & wounded 3,173 since the ceasefire was announced...
Thursday saw 11 reported violations, 4 Palestinians killed, and 8 wounded:

🔹 Israeli military vehicles advanced near Husni Mosque east of Al-Maghazi Camp amid heavy live fire and excavation activity
🔹 Israeli forces carried out large-scale demolitions in Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis
🔹 Israeli warships opened fire and launched projectiles off the coast of Al-Nuseirat
🔹 A woman was wounded by Israeli gunfire in southern Khan Younis
🔹 Fisherman Mohammad Jalal Al-Abd Al-Qur’an was critically wounded by Israeli naval fire off Deir al-Balah
🔹 Malak Ali Abu Darabi, 18, was shot in the shoulder by Israeli forces in Beit Lahiya
🔹 Three Palestinians were killed and several others wounded when an Israeli drone struck a civilian vehicle in Gaza City’s Al-Saraya area
🔹 Abdullah Yassin, 21, was killed and another civilian wounded by Israeli fire near Salah al-Deen Street between Al-Nuseirat and Gaza City
🔹 Two civilians were wounded in Israeli artillery shelling in Khan Younis

Since the ceasefire took effect, Israel has carried out over 3,323 ceasefire violations, including 1,481 airstrikes and shelling attacks, 1,280 live-fire incidents, 131 military incursions, 367 home demolitions, and 63 incidents of detentions of over 100 civilians.  Nearly half of those it has wounded are children, women, or elderly people. 
Israel also continues to hold approximately 34 square kilometers beyond agreed withdrawal lines and has blocked repairs to electricity, water, and sewage infrastructure.

Aid entry
▪️ Only about 36% of agreed aid has entered Gaza, averaging 216 trucks per day compared with the agreed 600
▪️ Fuel deliveries remain at just 14.9% of agreed levels
▪️ The World Food Programme estimates 77% of Gaza’s population faces acute food insecurity, including 100,000 children and 37,000 pregnant women suffering from acute malnutrition, amid what MSF has called a “manufactured malnutrition crisis.”

Rafah crossing
▪️ Palestinians entering and exiting Gaza via Rafah are subjected to arbitrary, degrading, and humiliating treatment, while the number of permitted crossings remains far below agreed levels
▪️ Only 7,417 of 20,600 scheduled crossings have been carried out, a compliance rate of 36%
▪️ 88 people have been turned back at the crossing since the ceasefire took effect

⭕️ Israel has committed 2,492 violations of the Gaza ceasefire since October, averaging 13.1 per day, according to a report shared by the Palestinian side with mediators and obtained by Drop Site News

Six incidents were recorded on Saturday alone, including Israeli forces shooting and killing a civilian near tents of displaced persons north of Rafah, intensive gunfire near Beit Lahia, and the explosive demolition of residential buildings in Al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City.

Since the “ceasefire”, 775 Palestinians have been killed — including 207 children, 86 women, and 21 elderly — and 2,171 wounded, of whom more than half are children, women, or elderly.

Israel also continues to hold approximately 34 square kilometers beyond agreed withdrawal lines and has blocked repairs to electricity, water, and sewage infrastructure. 

Aid and movement restrictions remain severe:

Aid Entry
▪️ Only ~38% of agreed humanitarian aid has entered — ~228 trucks per day vs. 600 agreed
▪️ Fuel deliveries at just 14.8% of required levels


Rafah Crossing
▪️ Rafah crossing fully closed on the reported day
▪️Only 3,150 of 11,600 planned crossings carried out (~27%) 
▪️ Medical and humanitarian travel is effectively blocked
