Israel Violates Gaza Ceasefire Immediately After It Takes Effect

Multiple outlets confirm a ceasefire took effect at noon Friday.

“Mirna Alsharif Dozens of bodies were recovered from the rubble in Gaza City since the ceasefire went into effect today, according to officials in the enclave”

Reports diverge on what happened immediately after the ceasefire began.

Asian outlet Hindustan Times reports that despite the ceasefire approval, shelling and military activity continued in Gaza, with residents and hospital officials reporting intensified attacks.

Indian Express likewise notes some ongoing shelling and gunfire in Gaza even as the truce started.

U.S. News & World Report adds that shelling continued in parts of Gaza earlier Friday.

NBC News recounts the IDF declaring the ceasefire and warning Palestinians to stay away from large areas of Gaza.

In contrast, the Los Angeles Times says the truce ended heavy shelling in Gaza, highlighting a sharp contradiction over whether Israel stopped firing as the ceasefire took effect.

On the ground, Israel kept large parts of Gaza under military control as people tried to return through devastated neighborhoods.

The Los Angeles Times reports Israeli troops withdrew to new positions controlling about half of Gaza.

DW notes ongoing Israeli military warnings for residents to avoid areas under IDF control.

NBC News adds the IDF told Palestinians to steer clear of northern and southern zones and the maritime strip.

This made clear that Israeli forces still dictate movement even under truce.

WPDE says an Israeli security official acknowledged the military would maintain control over roughly half of Gaza.

Spectrum News describes Palestinians returning to widespread devastation after Israel’s war killed over 67,000 people according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

Aid and civilian relief were billed as centerpieces of the truce, but sources describe a gap between promises and lived reality.

The Indian Express says Israel agreed to allow 600 aid trucks daily into Gaza.

U.S. News & World Report echoed this commitment to the entry of 600 trucks daily and the reopening of Rafah.

Spectrum News reports 170,000 metric tons of aid pre-positioned and some shipments moving after negotiations.

ABC News urges all parties to honor commitments and resume assistance at full capacity.

Meanwhile, CNN relays UNICEF’s warning about severe trauma and malnutrition among children.

This underscores how continued Israeli military control and reported shelling impede relief reaching those starved by blockade and bombardment.

The hostage–prisoner exchanges were set on a tight clock, reflecting the fraught ceasefire environment.

U.S. News & World Report and WPDE describe a 72-hour window for Hamas to release 48 hostages, with Israel believing about 20 are still alive, and simultaneous Israeli withdrawal to new lines.

CBS News says only 20 of the 48 remaining hostages are alive, with CENTCOM confirming a partial IDF withdrawal that started the 72-hour period.

Mint and Moneycontrol detail Israel freeing about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including 250 serving life sentences and 1,722 other detainees.

These accounts show a process designed under pressure and surveillance, including about 200 U.S. troops to monitor the ceasefire.

Accountability and future risk are starkly disputed.

KXXV reports the U.N. Commission of Inquiry accused Israel of committing genocide due to the aid blockade.

Spectrum News notes allegations of genocide, which Israel denies.

DW highlights Netanyahu’s threat to demilitarize Gaza the hard way or the easy way.

Sky News warns critics fear he will restart conflict and that even during the truce three British surgeons were denied entry to Gaza.

The Independent spotlights the Foreign Press Association’s demand that Israel open Gaza’s borders to allow free and independent media access.

These accounts collectively show Israel maintaining coercive control, facing genocide accusations, and constraining scrutiny—conditions that make immediate ceasefire violations plausible and dangerous for Palestinians already killed in staggering numbers.
