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)

🏗️ Corporate Complicity in Genocide: The Global Economy Behind Gaza’s Ruin.

📅 July 5, 2025 “We are witnessing not just genocide in Gaza—but a genocide made profitable.” — UN Special Rapporteur, A/HRC/59/23 “This report is written from the heart of darkness . It is penned with a broken hand from a broken land for a broken people . But its words are not broken . They are the words of law and of longing . They are the words of those who are not yet silenced . It is written for Palestinians , first and foremost. It is also addressed to those who remain silent , indifferent or complicit . And it is a call to action for those who are not.” — Introduction, UN Report A/HRC/59/23 In an unprecedented and unflinching report to the UN Human Rights Council, the Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory has laid bare the truth that much of the world’s corporate, academic, and financial architecture is actively complicit in Israel’s occupation, apartheid, and now, genocide in Gaza. This isn’t just about military aggression . This is about the mac...

Tumbling of American Banks amid weak economic data that sparks recession fears.

 " Citigroup led big bank losses with a near 5 per cent fall. Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs fell about 4 per cent each, while JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America declined 2.7 per cent and 3.5 per cent, respectively. Lenders typically feel the squeeze as recessions heighten concerns over credit losses due to higher unemployment, while loan demand – a key factor in profitability – also takes a beating." https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/banking-finance/us-banks-tumble-weak-economic-data-sparks-recession-fears

The Ceasefire of Exhaustion: When Empires Collapse from Within

  By Malik Mukhtar — ainnbeen.blogspot.com Two years after Gaza was first set on fire , the war that began with biblical vengeance has stumbled to an exhausted ceasefire . On October 9, 2025 , Israel and Hamas — after endless carnage, famine, and rubble — have signed the first phase of a ceasefire agreement mediated in Sharm el-Sheikh . Trump called it a “ historic peace plan. ” History may call it a truce of attrition — a war that collapsed under the weight of its own hubris. What the Ceasefire Says — and What It Doesn’t Under the agreement, Israeli forces are to pull back to a designated “yellow line” within 24 hours of cabinet ratification. Hamas, in turn, will release all remaining hostages — alive or dead — within 72 hours after the withdrawal. Israel will free about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, though it made sure to exclude political figures like Marwan Barghouti , whose freedom would remind the world that Palestine still breathes. Humanitarian convoys — food,...

WORLD OF EXCESS. Quotes of Corrine Maier

" we live in a world of excess: too many kinds of coffee, too many magazines, too many types of bread, too many digital recordings of Beethoven's Ninth, too many choices of rearview mirrors on the latest Renault. Sometimes you say to yourself: It's too much, it's all too much." ~  " We live in a society of ants, where working and reproducing represent the ultimate objective of the human experience. Work is the opiate of the people; will children be their consolation? A society where life consists of earning a living and raising your kids is a society with no future, since it has no dreams. Having a child is the best possible way to avoid asking what the meaning of life is, as everything revolves around that child, who is a marvellous substitute for the existential quest." "When you are "recruiting" people in temporary positions for the firm ( short term contracts, free lancers) treat them well, remember: they are the ones who actually do a...

Dr.Allama Muhammad Iqbal.

The first witness is thine own consciousness - See thyself, then, with thine own light. The second witness is the consciousness of another ego - See thyself, then, with the light of an ego other than thee. The third witness is God’s consciousness - See thyself, then, with God’s light. If thou standest unshaken in front of this light, Consider thyself as living and eternal as He! That man alone is real who dares - Dares to see God face to face! What is ‘Ascension’?Only a search for a witness Who may finally confirm thy reality - A witness whose confirmation alone makes thee eternal. No one can stand unshaken in His Presence; And he who can, verily, he is pure gold. Art thou a mere particle of dust? Tighten the knot of thy ego; And hold fast to thy tiny being! How glorious to burnish one’s ego. And to test its lustre in the presence of the Sun! Re-chisel, then, thine ancient frame; And build up a new being. Such being is real being; Or else thy ego is a mere ring of smoke! ...
