Ceasefire Violations Continue
Israeli strikes and shelling continued across Gaza even after a ceasefire agreement went into effect on October 10, 2025, with multiple reports describing deaths and injuries in the north and south of the Strip.
“Israel continues to intensify its attacks in the Gaza Strip, as ceasefire negotiations appear to be close to reaching a breakthrough”
Al-Jazeera Net reported that “One Palestinian civilian was killed and others were injured today, Wednesday, in a drone strike by the Israeli occupation on Jabalia al-Balad in the northern Gaza Strip,” describing the strike as targeting people “trying to remove the rubble from their home on Old Gaza Street in Jabalia al-Balad.”

The same report said that “the eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City were subjected to artillery shelling and heavy shooting by Israeli vehicles stationed on the outskirts of the Strip,” and that “Israeli vehicles fired heavily toward areas east of Khan Yunis in the southern Strip.”
It framed the attacks as part of “the ongoing Israeli violations of the Gaza ceasefire agreement in effect since October 10, 2025,” and cited Gaza Health Ministry figures that “784 Palestinians have been killed and 2,214 others injured by Israeli fire and shelling in several areas of the Gaza Strip.”
Al-Jazeera Net also said that on April 14, the Gaza Government Information Office stated that “Israel committed 2,400 breaches of the ceasefire agreement, including killings, arrests, blockade, and starvation.”
In a separate report, التلفزيون العربي said that “Five Palestinians were killed and others injured Tuesday evening in an Israeli airstrike on the Shati refugee camp (Beach Camp) west of Gaza City,” raising the day’s death toll to 10, including a child.
The same التلفزيون العربي account described an Israeli drone targeting “a group of Palestinians passing in front of a corrugated metal building near the Danf junction in the Shati camp,” and said the strike caused deaths and injuries among workers inside the building and among neighbors and bystanders.
Jabalia and Shati Deaths
The reports tied specific incidents to named locations in northern Gaza, including Jabalia al-Balad and the Shati refugee camp, and described how Israeli forces struck people in and around buildings.
التلفزيون العربي said that “an Israeli drone targeted a group of Palestinians passing in front of a corrugated metal building near the Danf junction in the Shati camp,” and that the strike “caused deaths and injuries among workers inside the building as well as among neighbors and bystanders.”

It added that “Five people were killed and several wounded in an Israeli airstrike on the Shati neighborhood west of Gaza City,” and described additional killings tied to other strikes and gunfire.
The same account reported that “Earlier Tuesday, 14-year-old Adam Halawa was killed by Israeli gunfire to the head in the Jabalia Al-Balad area in the northern Gaza Strip,” and said the Israeli army “opened fire on the Halawa camp that houses displaced people in the Jabalia area.”
It also described “four Palestinians were killed, including a child,” after an Israeli drone “launched a rocket directly at a vehicle belonging to the police center for the Daraj and Al-Tuffah neighborhoods east of Gaza City, as it was traveling on Tunnel Street east of the city.”
In addition to the strikes, التلفزيون العربي said Israeli artillery “repeatedly shelled the eastern parts of Gaza City, especially the Al-Tuffah and Al-Shuja'iyya neighborhoods,” and that helicopter gunfire accompanied the shelling.
The report also said “in the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli artillery repeatedly shelled southeast of Khan Yunis, in tandem with gunfire from helicopters,” and that “the Israeli navy fired on the coasts of Khan Yunis and Rafah.”
It concluded with Gaza’s government media office saying Israel committed “2,400 violations of the ceasefire,” while a Health Ministry statement said “760 Palestinians dead and 2,111 others injured.”
Hamas Spokesperson Killed
Beyond civilian casualties, the sources also described an Israeli strike that killed a Hamas spokesperson in Jabalia, and they linked the incident to the group’s broader framing of the conflict.
“Gaza: At least 50 Palestinians killed or missing after Israeli airstrikes on Jabalia (Lead) - Gaza Civil Defense reports that dozens of people were killed or trapped under the rubble following the Israeli airstrike on Thursday evening on a four-story house in Jabalia al-Balad, in northern Gaza”
Senego reported that “The Hamas spokesperson Abdel-Latif al-Qanoua was killed in an Israeli strike targeting the city of Jabalia, located in the north of the Gaza Strip,” and said the event occurred “Thursday at dawn, according to Mustafa Haboush and Efe Ozkan, reporting for our colleagues at Anadolu Agency.”
Senego further said that “According to Al-Aqsa TV, affiliated with Hamas, 'Al-Qanoua fell as a martyr when the Israeli occupation army targeted his tent with a strike in the Jabalia al-Balad area.'”
It described the “Islamic Resistance Movement” as condemning the act and said Hamas described the event as “the assassination of Al-Qanoua in a barbaric bombardment.”
The same Senego account placed the killing in a timeline, stating that “Since resuming its offensive on Gaza on March 18, Israel has killed 830 Palestinians and wounded 1,787 others, the majority of whom are women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.”
It also cited displacement figures, saying “The United Nations reports that about 142,000 Palestinians have been displaced following the resumption of Israeli attacks and the issuing of 'evacuation orders.'”
Senego added that “Since October 2023, the Israeli offensive on Gaza has resulted in the deaths of nearly 50,200 Palestinians, mainly women and children, and caused more than 113,700 injuries,” as Anadolu’s colleagues noted.
Ceasefire Push and Intensified Attacks
While some reporting described ceasefire negotiations as nearing a breakthrough, other sources said Israel continued to intensify attacks, including strikes on schools and densely populated areas.
Agence Media Palestine said “ceasefire negotiations appear to be close to reaching a breakthrough,” but added that “Israel has not paused and appears to have intensified its attacks in the Gaza Strip.”

It quoted Amnesty Denmark’s director, Vibe Klarup, saying “Israel was committing genocide,” and described her statement as “When we say that Israel is committing genocide, it is not a matter of opinion, but a conclusion grounded in thorough legal analysis.”
The same Agence Media Palestine report included a warning attributed to Hani Mahmoud, an Al Jazeera correspondent in Deir Al-Balah, saying “The more we hear about a possible ceasefire, the faster the pace of attacks accelerates and the more Israeli airstrikes on the city of Gaza multiply.”
It also described attacks “without any prior warning,” saying that on Saturday, January 11, “at least eight people were killed in an Israeli attack on a school housing displaced Palestinians in the north of the Gaza Strip.”
The report said that on the same day, an Israeli attack targeted “the Zainab al-Wazir School in the Jabalia al-Balad area, north of Gaza,” killing “eight civilians including two women and two children,” according to the Palestinian Civil Emergency Service.
A survivor was quoted digging through rubble, saying, “The Israelis targeted us without any prior warning,” and adding, “They attacked us with a missile. I do not know where our children are. I know nothing about them, whether they are injured or killed.”
Agence Media Palestine then expanded the account across multiple days, describing strikes on the Daraj neighborhood, a refugee camp in Deir Al-Balah, and the Bureij refugee camp, and it said that on Monday, January 13, “the Israeli army killed at least 45 Palestinians, according to medical sources.”
The report also stated that “Civil Defense announced that 70 children had been killed by the Israeli army in the five preceding days,” and it quoted UNICEF’s claim that “a child is injured or killed every 10 minutes in Gaza.”
IDF Plans and Hostage Talks
RTBF’s account shifted from incident-by-incident reporting to a description of Israeli military posture and political decision-making, while still tying it to hostage negotiations and a planned offensive.
“The Hamas spokesperson Abdel-Latif al-Qanoua was killed in an Israeli strike targeting the city of Jabalia, located in the north of the Gaza Strip”
It said that “We will intensify our strikes against Hamas in Gaza,” and quoted an announcement by the army spokesperson, General Effie Defrin, adding, “We have begun preliminary operations for the attack,” and “Our forces are on the outskirts of the city.”
RTBF also reported that “We will create the conditions to bring the hostages home,” and it placed the statement within a broader plan that a security cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved “in early August” to seize Gaza City and refugee camps in the center of the territory.
The report said the plan was intended “to take security control of the entire Gaza Strip and free the hostages,” and it gave a figure that “Forty-nine hostages, including 27 dead according to the army, are still held there out of the 251 abducted during the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.”
RTBF described the Israeli army as having “besieged more than two million residents in the Gaza Strip since the war began” and as controlling “about 75% of the Palestinian territory,” while it said the offensive responded to the Hamas attack that “triggered the war in Gaza.”
It described ongoing bombardments in Gaza City, saying that “For more than a week, several neighborhoods of Gaza City, the territory's largest city located in the north, have been subjected to intense air and artillery bombardments,” and it named “Zeitoun and al-Sabra in the east.”
The report attributed a characterization of Hamas to General Defrin, saying “Hamas today is no longer the same Hamas as before,” and it said that “From a structured military terrorist organization, it has been reduced to a weakened guerrilla group.”
It also described Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz approving “the plan to attack Gaza City,” and said Benjamin Netanyahu was “due to convene his government on Thursday for final approval,” while the Prime Minister ordered “that the deadline to seize the last terrorist strongholds and defeat Hamas be shortened,” without giving a date.
For Hamas, RTBF said the movement accused Benjamin Netanyahu of being “the real obstacle to any agreement” and of “not caring about the lives” of the hostages, and it added that Hamas announced it had accepted a mediators’ proposal for “a 60-day truce with hostage releases in two stages.”
The report described the proposal as based on a previous U.S. plan, calling for “a 60-day truce,” “the release of 10 hostages alive and the remains of 18 dead hostages,” and “an increase in humanitarian aid to Gaza,” with remaining captives to be released in a second exchange during the truce period.
