Gaza's Government Media Office Counts 3,005 Israeli Ceasefire Violations Since October 2025

| Israel-Palestine

Gaza's Government Media Office documented 3,005 Israeli violations of the October 2025 ceasefire as of May 27, 2026, including 1,109 airstrikes and shelling attacks and 921 shootings targeting civilians. The violations include targeted killings of Hamas commanders — two successive Qassam Brigades chiefs killed in May — as well as strikes on police posts, displacement camps, markets, healthcare workers, and civilian infrastructure. Ceasefire implementation overseer Nickolay Mladenov (former Bulgarian FM) warned the UN Security Council that without progress toward Phase 2, Gaza faces indefinite crisis. Phase 2, which would lead to a permanent end to the war, is stalled over Hamas's rejection of a disarmament framework presented by the US-led Board of Peace in March 2026 as 'unacceptable.' Hamas has warned the ceasefire faces collapse following Israeli escalations including the May 26 strike on the Tel al-Sultan displacement camp and the targeted killing of civilian doctors and police.
