As of late November and early December, it has been confirmed that despite an agreed-upon ceasefire, Israel has continued to bomb the city of Gaza, Palestine. As a result of ongoing military strikes and operations, hundreds of Palestinians have died.

The ceasefire, intended to stop the violence, went into effect on Oct. 10, 2025. However, Israeli forces have reportedly ignored the agreement and continued with aerial and artillery bombardments, drone attacks, and ground incursions along the Gaza Strip. These attacks have included residential areas such as Khan Younis, Rafah, and Gaza City.

Since the ceasefire was broken, 354 Palestinians have been confirmed dead, including many women and children. UNICEF reported that at least two children were killed every day in early November.

The ceasefire collapsed after Israel accused Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups of violating the truce, firing on soldiers, and refusing to return the bodies of deceased hostages. Hamas leaders have argued that Israel is the true aggressor, citing hundreds of recorded violations and attacks.

Israel is also being accused of blocking humanitarian aid, preventing food deliveries, and rejecting requests for relief materials. These actions have worsened the humanitarian crisis, contributing to what some human rights advocates describe as a “silent genocide” in Gaza.

United Nations human rights experts have warned that Israel’s continued attacks threaten the fragile truce and have urged the international community to pressure Israel to stop its operations. Despite the ongoing violence, U.S. officials maintain that the ceasefire is “holding.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, has stated that the war is not over.
