In a development threatening renewed escalation, Hamas and Israel have exchanged accusations of violating the Gaza ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States. This comes amid heightened tensions stemming from Israeli airstrikes and a rising death toll in Gaza.
For much of the past week, Hamas has threatened to collapse the ceasefire agreement following a series of Israeli airstrikes and mounting fatalities in Gaza. Regional media cited Hamas sources as conveying to U.S. Middle East envoy Witkoff their readiness to terminate the truce due to perceived repeated Israeli aggressions.
Subsequently, Hamas refuted Israeli reports that it had informed Witkoff of the ceasefire's end. Senior Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzook confirmed to Al Jazeera television that the organization had not terminated the truce. Conversely, the Israeli military maintains that Hamas has repeatedly violated the ceasefire.
The Israeli military claims Hamas has crossed so-called "red lines," areas forbidden under the terms of the truce. Hamas counters that Israeli forces are steadily advancing westward, blatantly breaching the "red lines".
Gaza officials point to a significant increase in casualties since the ceasefire took effect, asserting that Israel is the party violating the agreement. According to the Gaza Government Media Office, Israel has committed at least 497 violations of the ceasefire since October 10, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians, including a substantial number of civilians, children, women, and the elderly.
Israeli officials and media have rejected these claims, alleging that a Palestinian gunman fired on Israeli troops in southern Gaza, prompting the Israeli military to launch airstrikes in the area. While Washington has urged all parties to exercise restraint and adhere to the ceasefire, Trump administration officials have acknowledged Israel's right to respond in the specific instance of its forces in Gaza coming under attack.
