Gaza Herald _Palestinians say continued Israeli attacks after the ceasefire have shattered claims of safety, as families across Gaza document ongoing loss and destruction.
A growing online campaign from Gaza is challenging the narrative that the war has ended, accusing governments and media outlets of allowing the world to believe that the ceasefire brought safety and stability to Palestinians.
Under the slogan “They lied to you,” Palestinians are sharing accounts of continued Israeli attacks across Gaza, saying the ceasefire has not stopped the violence or protected civilians.
The campaign highlights what Palestinians describe as a reality far removed from the image of peace presented to the outside world — a reality where homes, displacement camps, and even funeral gatherings remain vulnerable to attacks.
On Friday, at least eight Palestinians were killed and around 20 others were injured when an Israeli drone struck a crowd in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza as mourners gathered for a funeral procession.
Footage from the aftermath showed bodies lying in the street as Palestinians searched through the chaos for survivors. A separate video showed blood covering the ground shortly after the wounded were taken to hospitals.
For many Palestinians, a gathering meant to honor those killed became another scene of mourning, as families who came to grieve were forced to bury additional victims.
Within 24 hours, another five Palestinians were reported killed after an Israeli airstrike hit a second-floor apartment in Gaza City’s Al-Nasr neighborhood. The strike destroyed part of the building, killed residents, and left others trapped beneath the rubble.
Among those killed were children, whose families say they lost not only their lives but also their futures.
Israel and Hamas agreed to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in October as part of a plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. However, Palestinians say the agreement has failed to bring an end to Israeli military operations.
They accuse Israel of repeatedly violating the ceasefire, citing near-daily strikes that have killed more than 1,100 Palestinians since the agreement began.
Israel says its operations target Hamas fighters, while Palestinian officials and rights groups say many of those killed have been civilians, including women and children.
Through the online campaign, Palestinians are urging the international community not to overlook what they describe as continued violations and ongoing suffering in Gaza.
“Share our campaign. Let the whole world see that they lied to you when they told you the war in Gaza had stopped,” one message circulating online says. “If you cannot do something for Gaza, you can still help make our voices heard.”
As Palestinians attempt to draw global attention to their experiences, their message remains focused on one question: how many more stories must be told before the world recognizes what is happening on the ground?
