The ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip is facing a rapid collapse on the ground, having been reduced to a mere symbolic title emptied of its content by Israeli shells. Field data confirms that air raids and artillery shelling have not ceased, causing civilians to pay the highest price under a declared calm that finds no resonance on the ground.
Medical and governmental sources reported that the number of Israeli violations since the agreement came into effect on January 19, 2026, has exceeded 2000. These continuous aggressions have resulted in the martyrdom of approximately 690 Palestinians and the injury of hundreds, most of whom are women and children, placing the dilapidated health system under immense pressure that doctors are unable to cope with.
Violations take multiple forms, ranging from direct targeting of residential areas to pursuing police officers and civilian cars on the roads. Residents describe the situation as a continuous war under different names, where not a day passes without recording killings and targeting operations, coinciding with the closure of crossings which has caused a severe shortage of food supplies and an insane rise in prices.
For his part, Tayseer Muhaysen, advisor to the Government Media Office, revealed that the occupation is deliberately moving what is known as the 'Yellow Line' towards populated areas to reduce the remaining safe spaces. He explained that these movements are accompanied by the occupation deploying local collaborators tasked with carrying out precise assassinations within cities, in an attempt to destabilize internal security and deny any actual calm.
Field reports indicate that these collaborating groups act as an alternative tool for Israeli special units, such as the 'Mista'arvim,' which find it difficult to move in areas under resistance control. These elements undertake tasks ranging from intelligence gathering to creating security chaos, further complicating the maintenance of security in the Strip.
The role of these militias was not limited to the military aspect but extended to include sensitive administrative and organizational roles under the direct supervision of the occupation army. Sources indicate that these elements participate in managing the Rafah crossing and control the classification of lists of Palestinians entering and exiting, making them a 'shadow government' aimed at weakening the existing local authority.
These groups' movements are concentrated in the 'Yellow Areas,' which are the most security-sensitive, where they move freely to carry out preemptive strikes against specific targets. This intensive security presence of collaborators has forced resistance factions to change their field priorities and increased the difficulty of securing the internal front amid continuous aerial bombardment.
In light of this grim scene, international and local bodies warn of the catastrophic repercussions of the continuation of these violations on the already deteriorating humanitarian situation. With continued displacement and living in tents, Palestinians believe that the war has not actually ended, as long as the Israeli killing machine continues to claim lives under the guise of a fragile calm that protects no one.
There is no ceasefire... The car is moving and is being shelled, and those inside and around it are killed. Where is the calm?
