Al_Qassam Website _ Despite the ceasefire agreement in place since October, the Israeli occupation continues to carry out military attacks across the devastated Gaza Strip, with yesterday’s deadly airstrikes bringing the number of the occupation’s ceasefire violations to nearly 400, according to Palestinian officials. The Gaza Government Media Office and local health authorities reported that the Israeli occupation forces are using unsubstantiated pretexts to justify actions that have resulted in mounting civilian casualties and the erosion of an already fragile truce.

On Wednesday, November 19, at least 28 Palestinians, including children, were killed in a wave of Zionist airstrikes targeting multiple areas in northern and southern Gaza. Residential buildings, farmlands, and even a UN-run center for displaced families were struck. Among the worst-hit areas were Gaza City's Al-Zeitoun neighborhood and Khan Younis, where Israeli tanks reportedly advanced beyond agreed buffer zones — despite the occupation’s claim of withdrawal.

“These are deliberate, calculated breaches of the ceasefire. The occupation is exploiting fabricated threats to continue its aggression,” said Salama Marouf, head of Gaza’s Government Media Office.

The genocidal occupation military has claimed that the strikes were in response to gunfire directed at its forces near the border. However, local sources, human rights groups, and the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas rejected these claims. Instead, they argue that the occupation government is using vague “security concerns” as cover for maintaining its military campaign and collective punishment against the civilian population.

Wednesday’s attacks have deepened the humanitarian crisis in the besieged enclave, where the health system remains overwhelmed and access to essential aid is restricted. Under the ceasefire agreement, aid flows were supposed to increase, but the occupation forces have delayed or blocked deliveries of fuel, food, and medical supplies.

“People are being bombed in shelters, in their homes, in the streets — all while the world talks about a ceasefire that Israel is violating daily,” said Ghada al-Kurd, a resident of Gaza City whose home was damaged in the recent strikes.

Palestinian resistance factions have largely upheld their end of the agreement, refraining from retaliatory fire and allowing international mediators to try to hold the situation. Yet with continued Israeli aggression and the growing death toll, public anger is mounting, and calls for international action are growing louder.

Gaza officials are now urging the United Nations and ceasefire guarantors — including Egypt, Qatar, and the United States — to move beyond statements and hold the settler-colonial occupation state of Israel accountable for its violations.

This is not peace. It’s war by another name — slow, daily, and largely ignored by the world. If this impunity continues, the ceasefire will collapse entirely.

As the situation remains tense, many in Gaza fear that unless serious international pressure is applied, the ceasefire risks becoming another meaningless agreement — with Palestinians once again left to bear the consequences.
