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)

Gaza’s Medical Apocalypse: Numbers, Neglect, and the Farce of “Access”

  If you ever needed proof that statistics can be more damning than bombs, look at Gaza’s health crisis . Behind the headlines and hashtags lies a cascade of bodies and broken systems. We have numbers, we have reports, we have PDFs— and yet the world stares, unmoved, at the collapse. Below is your ruthless, numbers-soaked guide to the suffering —and the institutional failure—behind Gaza’s medical implosion . 1. The Health System Is Already Dead. We’re Just Counting the Corpse. According to WHO, “The Gaza Strip faces an unprecedented humanitarian crisis with rising mortality and widespread displacement.” Between 1 January and 31 August 2024 , local health authorities reported 18,900 deaths and 38,916 injuries . Women, children, and the elderly account for over 50 % of fatal casualties . More than 53 % of Gaza’s 36 hospitals were non-functional as of August 2024, and many of the partially functioning ones lacked adequate water or relied entirely on fuel generators. ...

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,...

Delivering the Dead: How the World Watches Gaza Bleed.

  Delivering the Dead: How the World Watches Gaza Bleed “ I delivered a beheaded woman who was nine months pregnant. ” That’s not a horror-film script. That’s not medieval history. That is the testimony of an Australian medic standing in a Gaza hospital in 2025, describing what it means to “ practice medicine ” under Israeli bombardment. A nine-months-pregnant woman , decapitated , her body torn open so that the child she carried could be pulled out lifeless — and somehow this is still not enough to shake the comfortable democracies of the West into anything resembling a conscience. We should probably give the Nobel Prize for Creative Euphemism to the politicians who still call this “self-defense.” After all, there’s nothing quite as defensive as severing the head of an expectant mother and forcing foreign doctors to deliver her dead child in the rubble of what used to be a hospital . Bravo, civilization . The tragedy is not just the atrocity itself. It’s the smug perfo...

The Veil Gets Thicker: How “Democracy” Is Being Used to Suppress Solidarity.

  There’s a whisper among the ideals Europe claims to represent: freedom, human rights, assembly . But lately, those whispers are being drowned out —by batons, by laws, by arrests . Pro-Palestinian protestors are being met not with dialogue or understanding , but with the brute choreography of state power. Democracy is no longer just veiled . It is draped in shame. Recent Snapshots: When Solidarity Becomes a Crime These are not isolated incidents. These are signals. They tell us where the balance has shifted—and how. UK — The Ban, the Proscription, the Mass Arrests Palestine Action Proscribed Under Terrorism Act In July 2025 the UK government declared Palestine Action a proscribed organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000 . From that moment, supporting the group—by words or peaceful symbolic action—became criminalized. 466 Arrested at Parliament Square On August 9, 2025 , some 466 people were arrested in London at Parliament Square for a protest against the Pales...

Britain’s Recognition of Palestine: A Century of Complicity in Disguise.

So we’ve reached this moment: Keir Starmer’s UK “ recognises the State of Palestine. ” Applause lines up. Speeches made. Headlines dazzled. But behind the pomp, the guns, the exports, the intelligence, the training — history rings out in mocking laughter. Because Britain has been complicit since day one. This recognition is not redemption . It’s theatre. 1. The Original Sin: Balfour Declaration Let’s go back. Because if you don’t know your history, you’ll be fooled by the future. On 2 November 1917 , Arthur James Balfour (Britain’s Foreign Secretary) wrote to Lord Rothschild, and officially declared: “His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object , it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine , or the rights and political sta...
