Phase Two of Gaza Ceasefire Launched: Israeli Air and Artillery Bombardment Escalates and Civlian Killings Continue
Phase Two of Gaza Ceasefire Launched: Israeli Air and Artillery Bombardment Escalates and Civlian Killings Continue

As the second phase of the ceasefire in Gaza was declared, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) carried out a series of intense airstrikes, inflicting further civilian casualties. These attacks constitute a blatant escalation of military aggression and the continued commission of acts amounting to genocide, demonstrating open disregard for the ceasefire agreement and treating it as if it does not exist.

The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) documented a new series of attacks carried out by IOF, which resulted in the killing of 16 Palestinians, including five women, and the injury of many others. These attacks coincide with the IOF’s continued and unabated destruction of remaining houses and buildings within the so-called “yellow line.” Such operations are conducted daily, both day and night. These attacks keep civilians trapped in a cycle of constant danger amid extremely harsh humanitarian conditions, including the continued denial of adequate food supplies and humanitarian aid. This escalation comes despite the announcement of a national committee for the administration of Gaza and the declared onset of phase two of the alleged ceasefire agreement.

According to our field teams, these violations have been escalating daily and at a steady pace since the agreement was signed and are being committed by one party only—the Israeli occupation. Notably, IOF have not even alleged any ceasefire violations by the Palestinian side.

Among the most significant incidents documented by PCHR field researchers:

At dawn on Friday, 16 January 2026, the IOF, stationed east of Khan Younis, opened fire on residential neighborhoods in the western part of the city. As a result, Sabah Ahmed Abu Jame‘a (62) was killed, and several others were injured while sheltering in displacement tents in the vicinity of Nasser Hospital.

On Thursday, 15 January 2026, at around 16:00, an Israeli drone struck al-Jarou family house in Deir al-Balah. As a result, Sa‘id Khaled ‘Ali al-Jarou (34) was killed while ‘Abdel Rahman Mohammed ‘Abdel ‘Aziz Abu ‘Ibeid (28) sustained serious injuries and was transferred to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, where he was pronounced dead approximately one hour after his arrival.

On the same day, at around 17:35, IOF warplanes targeted the al-Houli family home in the central Deir al-Balah refugee camp, in the central Gaza Strip. As a result, six Palestinians were killed, including three women, and four others sustained injuries of varying severity. The attack also caused extensive destruction to the targeted house, as well as significant damage to neighboring homes and shops. Among those killed were Mohammed Hamed Mohammed al-Houli (57), his wife Rania Nayef Mohammed al-Houli (Abu ‘Abdoh) (44), her sister Islam (39), and Amar Ra’fat Khalil Abu Samrah (18), a resident of a neighboring house.

On the same day, at around 22:20, IOF warplanes targeted a residential apartment in the al-Khatib family home in al-Nusseirat refugee camp, in the central Gaza Strip. As a result, Ashraf ‘Adnan Mohammed al-Khatib (45) and his wife Hanan Nafez Ibrahim al-Khatib (‘Abed) (43) were killed, while three others from neighboring houses sustained injuries of varying severity. Approximately one hour after the attack, medical sources at local hospitals announced the death of Ahmed Nafez Ibrahim ‘Abed (33), a relative by marriage to the al-Khatib family, who succumbed to critical injuries sustained in the same strike.

At approximately 22:30, an Israeli drone targeted a gathering of security service officers in the vicinity of al-Nabulsi Roundabout, west of Gaza City. As a result, three officers were killed, while others sustained injuries of varying severity.

On Wednesday, 14 January 2026, at approximately 11:30, IOF, stationed in eastern Khan Younis, opened fire on Fadi Yousif Mahmoud Ahmed (43), killing him with a bullet in the chest while he was collecting firewood near the Bani Suhaila intersection in the eastern part of the city.

According to follow-up by our field researchers, since the ceasefire was declared on 10 October 2025, the IOF have continued air and artillery bombardments, gunfire, and recurrent demolitions within areas located along the so-called “yellow line,” aimed at destroying the remaining houses and buildings. According to the Ministry of Health, these attacks have so far killed 464 people, including 164 children and 63 women, and have wounded 1251 others.

Field observations in the Gaza Strip indicate that claims of a ceasefire have no basis on the ground. The Israeli military aggression continues openly and systematically, with bombardment and gunfire occurring day and night. Residential neighborhoods, including displacement camps, remain direct targets, and gunfire continues to strike areas densely populated by displaced people. These incidents demonstrate a consistent and ongoing pattern of attacks, rather than isolated incidents.

The quantity of aid entering the Gaza Strip further demonstrates that it falls far short of meeting even the minimum humanitarian needs. The IOF have failed to comply with the provisions of the ceasefire agreement regarding the entry of humanitarian aid and food supplies. Over the past 95 days, only 24,940 truckloads have entered the Strip, representing 43.8% of the amount agreed upon. This amounts to a daily average of 263 truckloads, compared to the 600 truckloads stipulated under the agreement and the statistics declared by Gaza’s relevant authorities.

All of this occurs while the people of the Gaza Strip continue to suffer from a severe lack of adequate shelter, following the destruction of approximately 90% of buildings across the Strip over 26 months of genocide. These risks are further exacerbated by adverse rainy weather, which has severely undermined both economic and health resilience, while the ongoing siege and military aggression push the humanitarian system to the brink of total collapse.

PCHR reiterates its warning that the international community’s silence and the absence of accountability mechanisms effectively give Israel a green light to continue its systematic crimes of genocide against Palestinian civilians. This silence amounts to negative complicity in these crimes.

PCHR calls on the international community to uphold its responsibilities and take immediate measures, including providing urgent protection for civilians, ending IOF’s military presence in the Gaza Strip, halting the use of methods and weapons targeting civilian neighborhoods, and compelling Israel to cease its attacks and the ongoing siege on the Strip.

  1. We all know that the genocide continues.

    The media can say whatever BS they want- we see with our own eyes the continued destruction and killing of our Palestinian sisters and brothers.

    We must all continue resisting Israeli apartheid and the ongoing land grab in Gaza and the West Bank.

    Zionists are the enemies of the entire world- and they’re complete imbeciles.

    Solidarity with the people of Palestine. 🇵🇸

  3. I never truly understood the weight of financial loss until it happened to me. Like many people, I entered the world of cryptocurrency full of optimism and excitement. Bitcoin was more than just an investment, it represented independence, growth, and a chance to be part of a financial revolution. I saved diligently, bought in at the right time, and watched my balance grow with pride. But one mistake changed everything. I misplaced my recovery phrase and couldn’t access my wallet. What began as a small inconvenience quickly turned into sleepless nights and endless frustration. I tried everything I could think of—scouring through old notes, digging up files on broken hard drives, even consulting countless online forums filled with people facing the same nightmare. The responses I read weren’t encouraging. Many said it was impossible, that once you lost access, there was no turning back. The emotional toll was far worse than the financial loss. Every day, I carried a heavy sense of regret, telling myself “if only I had been more careful.” It felt like losing a part of myself. Friends and family didn’t fully understand—it wasn’t just about the money, it was about losing something I had built and secured with so much effort and trust. I can honestly say those weeks were some of the hardest I’ve experienced. Then, just when I was close to giving up completely, I came across NVIDIA TECH HACKERS. At first, I was skeptical—after all, when you’re desperate, the internet feels full of people ready to take advantage of your situation. But something about their professionalism, the way they explained the process clearly, and their insistence on ethics and legality reassured me. I decided to take the risk of reaching out, and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. Their team treated my situation with respect and compassion. They didn’t dismiss my fears, and they never made unrealistic promises. Instead, they carefully studied my case, explained what was possible, and step by step worked through the challenge. I could see their expertise at every turn—this wasn’t guesswork; it was real mastery of blockchain systems and recovery methods. The day they informed me that they had successfully recovered my Bitcoin was one I will never forget. I remember staring at the screen in disbelief, tears in my eyes, as I saw my funds restored. The feeling was overwhelming—not just relief, but gratitude. It was like having a burden I had carried for months lifted off my shoulders. I went from hopelessness to joy in a way I didn’t think was possible. Today, I share my story not just as a testimony of recovery, but as a message of encouragement to anyone out there going through the same pain. Do not give up. And most importantly, do not entrust something so delicate to inexperienced or unprofessional hands. Recovering lost Bitcoin is not a matter of luck—it is a matter of knowledge, ethics, and skill. That is why I recommend NVIDIA TECH HACKERS without hesitation. They are not only experts in their field, but also a beacon of trust in an industry where many feel lost. Their dedication, professionalism, and proven track record make them leaders in Bitcoin recovery. Thanks to them, what I thought was gone forever has been restored and with it, my hope and peace of mind. You can reach out to them through their contact info

    My name is Davena, I’m from California in the USA. I want to use this opportunity to thank my great doctor who really made my life a pleasurable one today. This great man Dr.Wealthy brought my husband back to me, i had three lovely kids for my husband, about four years ago my husband and I had been into one quarrel or the other until he finally left me for one lady. I felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. I tried to be strong just for the kids but I could not control the pains that tormented my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because I was really in love with my husband. Every day and night i think of him and always wish he would come back to me, until one day i met a good friend of mine that was also in a situation like me but her problem was her ex-boyfriend who she had an unwanted pregnancy for and he refused to take responsibility and dumped her. she told me that mine was a small case and that i should not worry about it at all, so i asked her what was the solution to my problems and she gave me this great man email address. i was doubting if this man was the solution, so i contacted this great man and he told me what to do and i did them all, he told me to wait for just two day and that my husband will come crawling on his kneels just for forgiveness so i faithfully did what this great man asked me to do and for sure after two days i heard a knock on the door, in a great surprise i saw him on his kneels and i was speechless, when he saw me, all he did was crying and asking me for forgiveness, from that day, all the pains and sorrows in my heart flew away, since then i and my husband and our lovely kids are happy. that’s why i want to say a big thank you to Dr.Wealthy. This great man made me understand that there is no problem on earth that has no solution so please if you know that you have this same problem or any problem that is similar, i will advise you to come straight to this great man. you can email him at:wealthylovespell@gmail.com
