'Israel' violates ceasefire again in Gaza

The Socialist Bulletin Staff - 14/12/2025

THE so-called 'ceasefire' in Gaza has once again been violated, as the 'Israeli Defence' Forces (IDF) has crossed the 'Yellow Line' and killed a senior Hamas official.

The Gaza Health Ministry has reported that 4 people were killed in the attack, and at least 25 were wounded.

Most of those killed and wounded were civilians, showing the 'Israeli' military's disregard for civilian life, even when the so-called 'ceasefire' is in effect.

The killing was committed using a drone strike, which Netanyahu, only adding to his war crimes tally, has said he 'ordered' the attack, alongside Defence Minister Israel Katz.

This has happened as IDF forces ramp up tensions in southern Lebanon, as they demanded the evacuation of a southern Lebanese village, only to have their strike called off after the Lebanese Army requested its cancellation.

The 'Israeli' military has violated the agreed ceasefire at least 738 times, according to Al Jazeera, despite their stated war goal, to release the 'Israelis' captured by Hamas on 7 October, 2023, being met. 

As this war goal has been met, it cannot be stated that the current violations that the 'Israeli' military has been doing on a more than daily basis have any real merit other than the killing of Palestinians.

Locally, in Australia pro-Palestine activist groups have restarted weekly marches, and this publication endorses the actions of the Palestine Action Group (Sydney) and the Free Palestine Coalition Naarm, among other activist groups.
