Since the ceasefire came into effect on 10 October, Israel has continued to violate the basic terms of the agreement, including killing and injuring Palestinians while maintaining restrictions on food and humanitarian aid entering Gaza.
On Friday, 17 October, at least 11 people from the same family were killed in an Israeli attack on a car in al-Zaytoun, a neighborhood of Gaza City.
Journalist Saed Hasballah filmed relatives mourning over the bodies of their loved ones at Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City. Of the 11 people killed, seven were children between 5 and 13 years old.
Hasballah said that Israel bombed the vehicle as the family were checking on their destroyed home. “They had hoped the war was over – that they could return to live upon the rubble of their house – but the occupation’s artillery ended their lives the moment they arrived,” he stated on social media.
Gaza’s civil defense stated that rescue workers recovered the bodies of nine of the victims, but the bodies of two children weren’t recoverable as they were torn apart due to the intensity of the bombardment and the difficult field and environmental conditions in the area.
On Sunday, 19 October, Israel attacked areas across the Gaza Strip with more than 20 airstrikes, after the Israeli army claimed that Palestinian resistance forces had fired on an Israeli tank in the southern city of Rafah.
But the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas political party, said it was unaware of any events or clashes taking place in the Rafah area and noted that Israel had already been violating the terms of the ceasefire.
According to Ryan Grim of Drop Site, the explosion was caused by an Israeli vehicle running over ordnance as the army was demolishing what was left of houses in Rafah. (more...)

Soon after the explosion in Rafah, I’m told by a source familiar, the White House and Pentagon knew that the incident was caused by an Israeli settler bulldozer running over unexploded ordnance — contradicting Netanyahu’s claim that Hamas had popped up from tunnels.
