On Tuesday, the Israeli military killed five Palestinians in the Shujaiya neighborhood of Gaza City who were gunned down as they attempted to check on their houses in the eastern Gaza City suburb. The IDF admitted to killing the group, claiming the Palestinians approached its soldiers. Israel also announced that it would not abide by the terms of the ceasefire agreement related to humanitarian aid, claiming Hamas violated the deal regarding the release of the bodies of dead Israeli captives.
On Monday, Hamas released all 20 living Israeli captives held in Gaza, as well as the bodies of four deceased Israeli captives. The bodies of the remaining 28 dead captives are also expected to be handed over as part of the deal, although the exact timing remains unclear.
“Hamas violated the agreement regarding the release of the bodies of the hostages held in the Gaza Strip, read a statement from Israel's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories. "As a result, the political leadership has decided to impose a number of sanctions related to the humanitarian agreement that was reached. Starting tomorrow, only half of the agreed number of trucks—300 trucks—will be allowed to enter, and all of them will belong to the UN and humanitarian NGOs, with no private sector involvement. No fuel or gas will be allowed into the Strip, except for specific needs related to humanitarian infrastructure."
On Sunday, only 173 aid trucks entered Gaza, according to the Gaza Government Media Office. The convoy included just three trucks of cooking gas and six of solar fuel for bakeries, hospitals, and generators, far below what officials say is required. Authorities warned the deliveries were "a drop in the ocean" for more than 2 million residents facing mass hunger and malnutrition. The UN says at least 600 trucks a day are required just to meet the basic needs of Gaza's residents.

Israel is a violent state which seeks the death of any and all who oppose her. Even when that opposition is only exercising freedom of speech and press and association. This is a democracy?

Can you report on the rampant murder of Palestinians by Hamas since the ceasefire. They are lining up Palestinians and executing them in public if they are believed to be members of groups that do not support Hamas. The executioners are cheered on by the crowd. Is this the free Palestine the US college students were protesting for?

There is no excuse for depriving the population of food and medical aid other than the g word. They would rather starve the entire population than let one member of Hamas get a meal.
