Gaza was bombarded again by Israel this Sunday (19), in flagrant disregard of the ceasefire. It is not the first time that Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has violated the stages of the agreement that aims to end the conflict. Throughout the week, other attacks with the approval of the Israeli prime minister were carried out and killed at least 11 Palestinians.
According to the Palestine Arab Federation (Fepal) Brazil, this new aerial bombardment in Rafah claimed the lives of at least 5 people.
The Israeli Army’s fragile justification for interrupting the truce tries to implicate Hamas militants, saying that it was the Palestinians who broke the rules by attacking soldiers.
Netanyahu, in turn, declared that firm action would be taken against targets in Gaza. In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) indicated that its troops were targeted by an anti-tank missile operating in Rafah to dismantle Hamas infrastructure: “In response, the IDF began attacking the area to eliminate the threat and dismantle tunnels and military structures.”
Without presenting evidence, Israel used the common far-right tactic of accusing their opponent of doing what they themselves do, as a way of justifying their actions.
The situation demonstrates the fragile agreement made by United States President Donald Trump. According to the agreement, it seems that only the Palestinians must fulfill their part, as the Israelis maintain their genocidal actions.
Hamas denied any attack. On the contrary, the group accuses Israeli troops of violating the ceasefire agreement, since its implementation on October 10, in 47 situations, causing 38 deaths and 143 injuries.

According to senior Hamas official Izzat Al Risheq, the “Israeli occupation continues to violate the agreement and manufacture flimsy pretexts to justify its crimes.”
Al Risheq highlights that the Palestinians have fulfilled their part by freeing hostages and handing over the bodies of war victims. There is difficulty in locating hostages who lost their lives due to the Tel Aviv attacks, as, by indiscriminately bombing the enclave, they contributed to the deaths and burial of the bodies of Israeli citizens.
The remains of Palestinians handed over by Israel showed signs of torture and execution. Coroners at the Nasser hospital in Khan Younis pointed out that most of the 120 bodies returned so far had bandages, bandages and gunshot wounds to the head.
At the moment, the concern is that Israel has manipulated the circumstances by accepting a truce that was treated internally as temporary, and then creating reasons to attack Gaza with even more force.
Israel’s Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, published a message on X demonstrating the savagery of the Tel Aviv government. Faced with the return of attacks this Sunday, he calls Hamas “Nazi terrorists” and calls for a full resumption of attacks on Gaza: “I ask the Prime Minister [Netanyahu] to order the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to resume fighting in the Gaza Strip with full force. The false idea that Hamas will turn its back, or even comply with the signed agreement, is proving dangerous to our security, as expected. The Nazi terrorist organization must be completely destroyed – preferably an hour beforehand,” he said cynically.
The situation shows that Israel’s far-right government does not intend to follow the steps set out in the agreement to end the war. The Rafah crossing, on the border with Egypt, remains closed by order of Netanyahu, which prevents the entry of humanitarian aid. All of this leads us to believe that the Zionists are not doing their part, but are demanding that the Palestinians do theirs, and then return with their planning to occupy Gaza and hinder any measure towards peace and coexistence with the two-state solution. It remains to be seen how Trump and the other countries involved in the agreement will behave in the face of Israel’s evident disrespect.
