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)

Never Attack a Revolution—Unless It’s Gaza

  By Malik Mukhtar There is a peculiar confidence that comes with being wrong for decades and still being invited back to explain the world. Yossi Alpher—former Mossad official, veteran intelligence analyst, and institutional voice of Israeli “realism”—offers us precisely that confidence in his January 12, 2026 reflections on Iran. His message, distilled, is simple: things are complicated, revolutions are unpredictable, and humility is required . This is sound advice. It just arrives from the wrong mouth, at the wrong time, over the wrong bodies. Because while Alpher warns us—correctly—not to “attack a revolution, ” Israel has spent the last two years doing something far more obscene : attacking a trapped civilian population with no revolution , no army , no air force, no escape —and calling it self-defense . Intelligence: A Sacred Failure, Repeated Faithfully Alpher recalls, with admirable candor, the catastrophic ignorance of Western and Israeli intelligence during...

Gaza Beyond the Alibi of Hamas: Genocide as Method, Silence as Accomplice.( From Chris Hedges report )

We are the most informed generation in human history—and perhaps the least disturbed by what we know. From the first missiles that struck Gaza’s residential blocks to the slow starvation that followed, everything was visible. Every destroyed home. Every burned hospital. Every child pulled from rubble. And yet, the global emotional temperature barely rose. In an age of total visibility, feeling itself has become scarce. Watching has replaced witnessing. Knowing has replaced responsibility. This moral numbness is not accidental. It is cultivated . And at the center of this cultivation stands a single word, endlessly repeated, ritually invoked, and strategically deployed: Hamas . Hamas has functioned not as an explanation, but as an alibi. The Choice Was Announcedk From Day One From the earliest days of Israel’s assault, the policy was articulated with chilling clarity: Gaza’s population would be given two options— stay and starve, or leave . This was not the language of counte...

Ras ‘Ein al-‘Auja: How Ethnic Cleansing Happens Without a Declaration

Ethnic cleansing rarely announces itself with sirens or official decrees. More often, it arrives quietly—through sleepless nights, smashed water tanks, stolen sheep, armed men grazing livestock on stolen land, and the slow realization that survival itself has become impossible. On 8 January 2026 , Israel completed what it had been methodically engineering for months: the forcible transfer of 26 Palestinian families from the shepherding community of Ras ‘Ein al-‘Auja in the southern Jordan Valley. That is 124 people , including 59 children , pushed from homes their families had lived in for decades—not by a single evacuation order, but by sustained terror. This is not a humanitarian crisis caused by “clashes.” It is not a byproduct of war. It is a deliberate policy outcome . Violence as Policy, Militias as Instruments Ras ‘Ein al-‘Auja lies about ten kilometers north of Jericho. It is the last remaining shepherding community in the southern Jordan Valley , and the largest sti...

Ana Kasparian: The Voice That Won’t Be Silent — A Call for Truth in an Age of Power

  Ana Kasparian is one of the most recognized and outspoken voices in contemporary political media. As a co-host of The Young Turks — a trailblazing online news and commentary program — she has spent nearly two decades dissecting U.S. politics, media, power, and foreign policy with unapologetic clarity and fierce conviction. She is not just a commentator — she is a truth-seeker who challenges power at every turn , refusing to soften her words for comfort. Schooled in journalism and political science, Ana’s commentary continues to mobilize millions, especially younger generations who feel unheard in mainstream discourse. A Voice Against the Status Quo Ana’s rhetoric can be bold, controversial, and deeply passionate — because she refuses to accept narratives that obscure the underlying truth about power and influence. On American democracy and foreign policy, she strikes at the heart of what many hesitate to articulate: “ We don’t actually live in a true democracy here in t...

Dr. Randa Abdel Fattah. De-Invited by Association: When Grief Becomes a Pretext and Palestinian Identity a Liability

How Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah Was Silenced in the Name of “Sensitivity” In a remarkable feat of moral gymnastics, Australia’s literary establishment has once again demonstrated how grief can be weaponised, principles suspended, and Palestinian identity rendered dangerously “inappropriate ” —all in the name of cultural sensitivity. Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah , a respected author, academic, and public intellectual, was quietly de-invited from Adelaide Writers’ Week following the Bondi Junction massacre. Not because she had any connection—real, implied, or imagined—to the atrocity. Not because she endorsed violence. Not because she violated any law or ethical standard. But because, apparently, the mere presence of a Palestinian Muslim woman who speaks about justice is now considered culturally unsafe during national mourning . One wonders: unsafe for whom? The Logic of the Absurd Festival organisers were careful—almost impressively so—to state that Dr. Abdel-Fattah had nothing to do wi...
