Broken Promises, Burning Skies: Day-by-Day Record of Israeli Ceasefire Violations

 



Day-by-day timeline (19 Jan 2025 → 18 Mar 2025)

Week 1 — Ceasefire begins (19–25 Jan 2025)

19 Jan 2025 — Ceasefire goes into effect.

  • Ceasefire/hostage-release deal came into effect on 19 Jan (after some initial delay) and three Israeli hostages were handed over in the first exchange. Within hours there were reports of lethal strikes and shootings affecting civilians in Gaza despite the truce being announced.

20 Jan 2025 — Early violations reported (day 2).

  • Al Jazeera live updates recorded multiple incidents: gunfire/shelling and strikes in Rafah and other areas; eyewitness reports noted dozens killed in the days surrounding the truce start and 137 bodies found in Rafah in the immediate aftermath of the opening days. These incidents were reported as ceasefire violations by Palestinian/Gaza authorities.

21 Jan 2025 — Shooting & drone incidents.

  • Reports of Israeli drone/gunfire injuring civilians and at least several people wounded in Rafah; West Bank raids by Israeli forces continued (separate theatre but relevant to overall pause-break dynamics). Gaza authorities reported further violations.

22–25 Jan 2025 — Ongoing localized strikes and shootings.

  • Multiple news updates through these days documented incidents of Israeli forces opening fire on perceived armed suspects, strikes reported in populated areas, and civilian casualties (including children) in separate incidents the Gaza side labeled violations. (See aggregate live coverage).

February 2025 — Repeated, small-scale violations; cumulative counts appear

Early–mid February 2025 — Shooting, sniper and naval incidents continue.

  • Through early February the pattern was repeated: reports frequently described sniper fire, drone strikes, naval gunfire on fishermen, and shootings at border/return paths. International live updates continued to record single-day incidents.

12 February 2025 — Gaza media office cumulative tally (~265 violations).

  • Gaza’s Government Media Office released a running tally and by 12 February reported approximately 265 ceasefire violations by Israeli forces since 19 Jan, and cited more than 100 people killed in the enclave during the ceasefire period. (This is a cumulative figure from Gaza authorities reported widely in the press.)

Mid–late February — Continued shootings, fishermen attacked, aid constraints reported.

  • News agencies reported isolated lethal incidents (children and other civilians among the victims), incidents at crossings and coastal shootings; concerns also rose about restrictions on humanitarian access that Gaza authorities and UN actors said violated provisions of the truce.

March 2025 — Escalation and collapse of the truce

1–14 March 2025 — Ongoing hostilities reported in pieces; tensions over ceasefire extension.

  • Through early March the situation was described in live reporting as tense: intermittent strikes/shots, accusations from both sides about breaches, and diplomatic efforts to extend or formalize the truce. Media and Gaza authorities continued to log individual incidents daily. (No single universally accepted day-by-day count source for every day — aggregated reporting continued.)

14 March 2025 — Significant strikes reported (examples).

  • News reports list specific strikes in mid-March (e.g., an airstrike in Zeitoun killing civilians, and other drone/gunfire incidents with multiple casualties reported by Gaza health authorities). These events were characterized by Gaza media and human rights groups as ceasefire violations.

18 March 2025 — Major breach: large-scale Israeli assault that shatters the ceasefire.

  • On 18 March 2025 Israel launched a large wave of airstrikes across Gaza. International and local reporting described this as a decisive break of the ceasefire. Al Jazeera reported at least 404 Palestinians killed and hundreds wounded in the assault; Reuters described Israel saying it conducted strikes after Hamas rejected an extension and that Israel warned more action might follow. This event is commonly cited as the end of the Jan 19 ceasefire.

19 March 2025 — UN / Palestinian letter and tallies.

  • On 19 March the State of Palestine addressed the UN stating that Israel continued to violate the ceasefire agreement; UN correspondence and letters from Palestinian authorities outline that the ceasefire had been violated repeatedly and that UN facilities and civilians were affected. Independent and rights groups condemned the March 18 assault as a major breach.

How the day-by-day record was constructed & limitations

  1. Primary day-by-day reporting: I relied on day-by-day liveblogs and daily updates (notably Al Jazeera live coverage around 19–24 Jan) that recorded incidents as they happened. These are the best public daily sources for early days.
  2. Cumulative tallies: Gaza’s Government Media Office published running totals (e.g., ~265 violations by 12 Feb). By mid-March multiple sources (including reporting that summarizes UN/Palestine submissions) cited ~1,000 documented ceasefire violations by Israel by 19 March — this reflects accumulated incident reporting over the two months.
  3. Major turning point: The assault of 18 March 2025 is the clearest single-day event that many outlets identify as the end of the Jan 19 truce; large casualty numbers were reported and the truce was described as shattered.

Because not every day has a single independent, granular incident log accessible in international reporting (many outlets use liveboards and local agency reports), producing a minute-by-minute list for every day would require aggregating local statements, Gaza media office daily releases, and many single-day briefs (some of which are only in Arabic or posted on social platforms). I can do one of the following next (pick one and I’ll produce it immediately):

  • A. Full structured day-by-day table (19 Jan → 18 Mar) built from Gaza Government Media Office daily releases + Al Jazeera/Reuter liveblog cross-checks — I’ll list each date and the incident(s) reported on that date with source citations (this will be long but doable).
  • B. Detailed day-by-day for a shorter window (e.g., 19 Jan → 31 Jan) with verbatim incident lines and exact citations for each day (best accuracy for short period).
  • C. A downloadable CSV/Excel file with date, incident summary, casualty numbers (where reported), and source link for every recorded day (I can produce the CSV here in the chat)

“They Came Home Broken":The Brutal Truth Behind the October 2025 Palestinian Releases

  They walked free —yet came home with broken bodies , shattered spirits , and scars that cannot be erased. On October 13, 2025, nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees were released from Israeli custody in return for hostages freed by Hamas. Many rejoiced; families wept with relief. But behind those scenes, a darker story surfaced—one of systemic abuse, medical neglect, and a betrayal of human dignity. The Faces Behind the Numbers Among those finally returned was Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya , a beloved hospital doctor in Gaza, whose ordeal reveals the brutality that many are still too afraid to speak about. He arrived having lost more than 20 kg in just two months , with fractured ribs from interrogation , a worsening heart condition denied proper medical attention , and the scars of solitary confinement and torture. He is not alone. In the landmark “ Welcome to Hell ” report, 55 formerly held Palestinians shared chilling testimonies : starvation diets, savage beatings, r...

How to Oppose Annexation Without Actually Opposing It: The Trump Doctrine of Elegant Hypocrisy

  The Art of Saying No While Handing Over the Keys: Trump’s De Facto Annexation Gift to Israel Ah yes — the era of “ principled diplomacy.” The Trump administration, that self-proclaimed guardian of “fairness” in the Middle East, will forever be remembered for its masterclass in political double-speak — a rare performance where the United States verbally opposed Israel’s annexation of the West Bank while physically laying down the red carpet for it. It’s like saying, “ Please, don’t steal the car,” while quietly tossing over the keys, disabling the alarm, and complimenting the thief’s driving skills. The Great Paradox — or Just the Great Performance? Let’s call it what it was: a paradox of diplomacy , or perhaps more accurately , a farce performed for global consumption . In words , the Trump administration urged restraint — telling Netanyahu that annexation should be “coordinated,” “negotiated,” and “timed wisely.” In reality , it was busy dismantling every legal and dip...

The World as Gaza: Necropolitics and the Calculus of Survival

  “ The ultimate expression of sovereignty resides in the power and the capacity to dictate who may live and who must die.” — Achille Mbembe, “Necropolitics” There are philosophies that dissect history, and there are philosophies that bleed through it. Achille Mbembe’s Necropolitics belongs to the latter — it is not an academic exercise, but a diagnosis of the world’s moral decay. In his words, modern sovereignty is no longer about governing life — it is about managing death . It decides who is allowed to breathe, who must suffocate, and who will exist in the space between. Nowhere is this calculus of death more visible, more technologically refined, and more ethically bankrupt than in Palestine . The siege of Gaza has transformed necropolitics from theory into geography — a place where the architecture of control and the arithmetic of survival intersect. The Right to Kill, the Duty to Let Die In Necropolitics , Mbembe extends Foucault’s biopower — the power to “...

The Science of Fear: How Islamophobia Became a Campaign Strategy

  When Zohran Mamdani stood before a roaring crowd and declared, “ No more will New York be a city where you can traffic in Islamophobia and win an election,” he wasn’t just celebrating victory — he was delivering a eulogy for a long, poisonous political playbook. Because let’s face it — Islamophobia has never just been about prejudice. It’s been a strategy — polished, funded, and weaponized into one of the most successful vote-getting formulas in modern politics. The Machinery of Fear The arithmetic is simple — and sinister . Take a minority that makes up barely 2% of the U.S. population . Turn them into the symbolic threat for the other 98%. Feed that fear with millions of dollars , wrap it in the flag , and sell it as “security. ” According to a 2021 CAIR report , more than $105 million was funneled to just 26 anti-Muslim organizations between 2017 and 2019 — money laundered through “ mainstream charitable ” institutions. That’s not democracy in action. That’...

The Leak That Broke the Mirror: Israel’s Moral Collapse at Sde Teiman

  n R It was not the torture that shocked Israel. It was the fact that someone leaked it. Welcome to Sde Teiman — the desert detention camp that became a mirror to Israel’s moral decay, and to the world’s selective blindness. The Scene of the Crime The story begins, like most horror stories do these days, with a camera. On July 5, 2024, security footage inside the Sde Teiman military base caught what it was never meant to record: a Palestinian prisoner, blindfolded, bound, and dragged across the floor by Israeli soldiers. Moments later, the soldiers raised shields to block the camera — and behind that human wall, the real Israel revealed itself. When the shields dropped , the man lay broken: seven fractured ribs, a punctured lung, and a torn rectum so severe it required surgery and a colostomy. The anatomy of cruelty was complete. The Scandal That Wasn’t You would think such a crime would set off national outrage. But in Israel’s political universe , torture is an...
