Full list of Israel's ceasefire violations in Gaza, seven months on

From deadly strikes and expanding no-go zones to aid restrictions and border closures, Israel has repeatedly breached the US-backed truce while deepening the enclave's humanitarian crisis

More than seven months have passed since a US-mediated ceasefire was announced with the stated aim of ending Israel's two-year genocide in Gaza.

Yet Israel has continued to carry out near-daily strikes and violations of the agreement, albeit at a lower intensity than before the truce.

The humanitarian crisis caused by the war has also persisted, with Israel maintaining a tight siege on the Palestinian enclave.

The Israeli military has justified some of its violations by accusing Palestinian factions of breaching the ceasefire.

However, many of those killed, displaced or arbitrarily detained over the past seven months have been civilians, including children.

With the first phase of the agreement still not fully implemented by Israel, the US has so far failed to advance talks towards the next stage, which was meant to include the disarmament of Palestinian armed groups, the deployment of international stabilisation forces, reconstruction in the strip and a full Israeli withdrawal.

The lack of progress has raised fresh doubts over the future of the fragile ceasefire, as Israel continues to mass forces near Gaza and threatens a renewed assault on the strip.

Middle East Eye breaks down the main Israeli breaches of the ceasefire so far.

Attacks

The Gaza government media office says it documented at least 2,400 Israeli violations in the first six months of the ceasefire between 10 October 2025 and 10 April 2026, with dozens more recorded since.

Those included 1,109 air strikes and other shelling attacks, alongside 921 shootings targeting civilians.

The attacks killed at least 857 Palestinians and wounded 2,486 as of 14 May, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

At least 229 of those killed were children, according to Unicef.

The media office also said Israeli forces had arbitrarily detained at least 50 people during the same period.

Reported violations ranged from attacks on civilian gatherings and displacement camps to strikes targeting police officers, journalists and aid workers.

Israeli naval forces have also repeatedly opened fire on fishermen and Palestinians near the coast, arresting several others.

In one incident last month, Israeli gunboats shot a woman dead off the northwestern coast of Gaza. 

Overall, Israeli forces have killed at least 72,700 people since the genocide began in October 2023. Thousands more are missing and presumed dead under the rubble.

Demolitions and expanding Yellow Zone

The October ceasefire agreement stipulated that the "battle lines" in place at the time of the deal would remain frozen until later phases were implemented.

That provision paved the way for the creation of the so-called "Yellow Line" - a unilateral Israeli demarcation designating vast areas of Gaza as no-go zones and barring Palestinians from accessing large parts of their land.

At the time the deal was signed, Israeli forces controlled around 53 percent of the enclave across northern, southern and eastern Gaza.

Under the terms of the agreement, subsequent phases were meant to include a gradual Israeli withdrawal from the entire Gaza Strip.

Since then, however, the Israeli military has expanded the Yellow Line, effectively bringing around 64 percent of Gaza under its control and forcing Palestinians into less than half of the territory's land area.

Israeli forces have also carried out near-daily home demolitions, in another breach of the ceasefire.

Although most demolitions have taken place beyond the Yellow Line, others have been recorded inside the Palestinian-controlled areas.

An analysis by The New York Times in January revealed that Israel has demolished over 2,500 buildings in the first three months of the agreement.

Ongoing siege  

Under the agreement, Israel was required to ease restrictions on aid deliveries and allow up to 600 trucks a day carrying food, fuel, medical supplies, shelter materials and commercial goods into Gaza.

However, UN data shows those commitments have not been met, with rights groups warning that continued restrictions have prolonged the humanitarian crisis and severely limited relief operations.

According to the Gaza government media office, just over 4,500 aid trucks had entered the enclave by the end of April - only 25 percent of the 18,000 trucks stipulated under the agreement.

That amounts to a daily average of just over 200 trucks, far below the agreed threshold.

The limited aid allowed in has also excluded much-needed shelter materials such as tents and mobile homes, as well as essential medicines, medical equipment and fuel.

The ongoing restrictions have fuelled a renewed wave of food scarcity in recent months, with many residents fearing a return to famine conditions, which were officially declared in Gaza in August following Israel's siege.

Doctors and civil defence teams say shortages of fuel and medical supplies have left them unable to provide adequate healthcare or carry out rescue operations effectively.

Border closure and travel restrictions

Under the agreement, Israeli forces were meant to withdraw from the Rafah crossing with Egypt in southern Gaza and allow the free movement of people.

With thousands wounded and in urgent need of medical treatment abroad, reopening the crossing was expected to ease suffering for many Palestinians.

However, Israel kept the crossing closed for nearly four months after the agreement was signed. 

In February, it began allowing no more than 50 Palestinians a day to enter Gaza from Egypt, while limiting departures from the enclave to around 150 people daily.

Even then, Israel has not consistently adhered to those quotas, at times blocking approved travellers and shutting the crossing for prolonged periods, including during the launch of the war on Iran in late February.

The Gaza government media office said that between 2 February and 30 April, only 1,567 people crossed through Rafah out of the 6,000 stipulated under the agreement - a compliance rate of just 26 percent.

According to the Palestinian health ministry, the restrictions have contributed to the deaths of up to 10 Palestinians a day who are unable to access treatment abroad.
