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)

💔 One Eye for Gaza: Hannah Thomas and the Price of Speaking Truth

🖋️ By Malik Mukhtar 📍 ainnbeen.blogspot.com | 🗓️ June 29, 2025 She stood on the pavement—Hannah Thomas, lawyer, activist, former Greens candidate. She stood—holding no weapon, only a banner and a conscience. She stood—outside a factory that allegedly helps plate the steel for F-35 jets now raining hell on Gaza. And for that—Australian police slammed her to the ground. Now, she may never see from her right eye again. Let that sentence burn into your mind: “She may lose her sight—for standing against genocide.” 🇵🇸 In Gaza, Eyes Are Lost Forever In Gaza, there are no surgeons left for eyes. Eyes are buried beneath concrete. Eyes were starved shut. Eyes were blinded by phosphorus, smoke, dust. Children in Gaza have forgotten what it means to look up without fear. And still, the bombs fall. From October 7, 2023 to now, tens of thousands dead—many torn apart by American-made weapons, polished and prepped by foreign contractors. The livestream genocide has not stopped. The...

The Media Sold the War. We Watched It Happen.

What Adam H. Johnson’s How to Sell a Genocide reveals—and what the question of digital witnessing forces us to confront There is a disturbing question at the heart of the Gaza catastrophe that cannot be answered simply by asking what governments did, what armies did, or even what the media reported. There is another question: What did the world do while watching? Adam H. Johnson’s How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza, published by Pluto Press, approaches Gaza through the machinery of mainstream American media. His investigation examines how some of the most influential institutions in the Western information system—including The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC—framed the destruction of Gaza. It is an important question because wars are not fought only with weapons. They are also fought through language. Before bombs become statistics, they become headlines. Before civilian deaths become numbers, they become narratives. Before dest...

Sambhal and the Architecture of Majoritarian Power: From Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh to Narendra Modi.

  In the city of Sambhal, the future of India is being rehearsed in plain sight. Three-quarters of the city’s 300,000 residents are Muslim. Yet today, many say they live as if under occupation — their public religious life curtailed, their protests criminalized, their grief surveilled. The spark was a legal challenge to the 16th-century Shahi Jama Masjid , a mosque that Hindu nationalists claim was built over a sacred Hindu site. After a court-ordered archaeological survey, tensions exploded. Police fired tear gas and live rounds. Families say at least five people were killed. Hundreds were booked. Thousands were listed as “unnamed accused,” a legal cloud that can expand at will. Internet shut down. City sealed. Dissent crushed. Sambhal is not an anomaly. It is a method. The Ideological Spine: Hindutva and the RSS To understand Sambhal, one must understand the ideological infrastructure behind it. The (RSS), founded in 1925, promotes Hindutva — the idea that India is fun...
