ISRAELI OCCUPIED AND STARVED GAZA, 19 Oct. - (ANA) - The Gaza-based Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) said on Saturday it had documented 129 Israeli violations of the ceasefire in Gaza since it came into effect on Monday, including airstrikes and gunfire, which had killed 34 Palestinians and injured 122.

 

In a statement, the group said Israeli forces on Friday bombed a civilian vehicle carrying members of the Shaban family in Gaza City's Zaytoun neighbourhood, killing 11 people, including seven children and two women.

 

It described the attack as a massacre and the deadliest single incident since the ceasefire took effect.

 

The centre said Israel's actions showed a "blatant disregard for civilian life" and a continued policy of "killing and destruction without the slightest respect for international humanitarian law".

 

It added that Israeli forces have the surveillance capability to identify civilian targets, saying there was "no military necessity" for striking the family's vehicle.

 

PCHR said Israel was persisting in "its policy of collective punishment and genocide against Palestinians", and called for an immediate and permanent end to the assault and for Israel to be held accountable under international law.

 

Hamas also condemned the attack, urging US President Donald Trump and ceasefire mediators to pressure Israel to stop its violations.

 

It said the massacre reflected Israel's "aggressive intentions" and its disregard for the commitments outlined in the ceasefire deal.

 

According to the terms of the Trump-brokered truce, the Israeli army continues to control more than half of Gaza's territory, separated by a so-called "yellow line" marking the areas Palestinians are allowed to move within.

 

Since the ceasefire began, Israeli forces have fired on Palestinians accused of crossing this line.

 

Human rights groups warn that ongoing Israeli attacks threaten to collapse the fragile truce, which was meant to pave the way for the first phase of a multi-stage plan for Gaza's reconstruction and demilitarisation.   - (ANA) -
