Palestinians gathered outside Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday, to protest what they said were Israeli violations of the ceasefire that took effect on Oct. 10, 2025, following a call by national and Islamic groups.
Demonstrators held a rally condemning the alleged breaches and calling for the ceasefire to be upheld.
During the demonstration, attended by relatives of those killed and representatives of human rights organizations, speakers said that more than 1,000 Palestinians had been killed in attacks since the ceasefire was declared.
The protesters called on the international community and human rights groups to take action to stop ceasefire violations and protect civilians.

Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem told Anadolu agency that Israel has systematically violated the ceasefire agreement since it took effect.
Qassem said the continued closure of border crossings, restrictions on humanitarian aid and actions on the ground were evidence of ceasefire violations. He also called on international mediators and the guarantors of the agreement to take responsibility.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israeli attacks have killed 1,021 Palestinians and injured 3,249 others since late 2025 in daily violations of the ceasefire in effect.
Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza since October 2023 has killed 73,032 people, injured over 173,300 and caused massive destruction to about 90% of the enclave’s infrastructure, with the United Nations estimating reconstruction costs at about $70 billion.
