Gaza Herald- Israeli forces have continued to violate the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip for the 133rd consecutive day, carrying out shelling, gunfire, and expanding their fire control zones in an escalating pattern that undermines the core of the agreement, which came into effect on October 10, 2025.
According to reports, Israeli military vehicles opened fire on Saturday morning east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, as well as towards northern areas of Gaza City. Artillery also shelled the al-Tuffah neighbourhood in the northeast of the city.
Israeli warplanes launched a second airstrike east of Khan Younis, while naval forces fired heavily into the city’s coastline. On Friday evening, Israeli forces also carried out a demolition operation east of Gaza City.
Cumulative data up to day 131 of the agreement, based on documented daily reports, shows that Israeli forces committed 1,786 field violations, averaging 13.6 violations per day. These included 816 shelling incidents, 643 cases of gunfire, 243 home demolitions, and 84 ground incursions.
Since the ceasefire took effect, at least 638 Palestinians have been killed, including 303 children, women, and elderly people—representing 47.4% of the total. The number of injured has reached 1,633, with children, women, and the elderly making up 56.2%.
Violations have not been limited to military actions. Reports also indicate ongoing obstruction of humanitarian aid and fuel entry, in breach of the humanitarian protocol attached to the agreement. Only 43.3% of the agreed number of aid trucks have entered Gaza, while fuel deliveries have not exceeded 15%, pointing to deliberate disruption of essential services and infrastructure restoration.
Restrictions at the Rafah crossing have also persisted, with reduced traveller numbers and strict limitations on movement. Compliance with agreed travel figures has not exceeded 39.2%, according to cumulative data.
The ceasefire had ended the war that began on October 7, 2023, which resulted in over 71,000 deaths and more than 171,000 injuries, the majority of whom were women and children.
The continued daily violations, now 133 days into the ceasefire, indicate a systematic pattern that is effectively hollowing out the agreement, raising serious questions about the effectiveness of international guarantees in the absence of enforceable mechanisms.
