Israel Breaches Alleged Ceasefire 96 Times: Palestinian Official

Director General of Palestinian Public Security in Gaza Major General Abdul-Razzaq Al-Majaida said on Sunday that the Israeli army has breached the ceasefire 96 times since it was announced by Israel last Tuesday.

"Since the ceasefire announcement, the Israeli army bombed and opened fire 36 times, killing two Palestinians and injuring 84 others," Majaida said, adding that "several Palestinian houses and police positions were destroyed in Israeli military operations."

"The Israeli army intruded the Palestinian self-rule areas in the Gaza Strip 21 times and carried out 28 leveling operations in lands controled by the Palestinian National Authority," he said.

Israel made another 11 violations such as blocking main roads, flying military aircraft, checking civil cars and preventing fuel vehicles from reaching the southern Gaza Strip after the ceasefire announcement, according to the Palestinian official.

"The Israeli announcement is a lie as the Israeli aggression was intensified instead of ceasing," Majaida said.

"The violations of the ceasefire were clear for everybody," he noted.
