Israel keeps bombing Gaza despite the October 2025 ceasefire
Israel has kept attacking Gaza almost every day since the October 2025 ceasefire, and Netanyahu now says the war is far from over — grim news for Palestinians and a blow to Trump's claim he ended the conflict.
- Netanyahu rejected the latest disarmament deal, vowed no Palestinian state, and said troops will not leave Gaza until Hamas gives up all its weapons.
- More than a thousand Palestinians have been killed since the "ceasefire" began, with monthly death tolls in the dozens to hundreds and July the deadliest month of 2026.
- Israel has built at least 13 new military outposts inside Gaza and fortified the "yellow line" splitting the territory, signs it plans to stay for good.
- Blocked aid, fuel, and shelter supplies left people dying of cold, floods, disease, and rats, while garbage and sewage piled up into a public health crisis.
- Coverage has faded partly because Israel has killed or jailed so many journalists — around 40 are now detained.
Outlook: With Netanyahu refusing to withdraw and elections looming, the strikes and slow seizure of Gaza look set to continue while world attention stays elsewhere.
