Israeli airstrikes in Gaza kill more than 80 despite announcement of ceasefire

휴전 합의 했다더니… "이스라엘, 가자지구 폭격에 수십 명 숨져"

In the Middle East.
Despite the sealing of a ceasefire deal that is slated to start on Sunday local time Israeli assaults against Hamas in Gaza continue to raise the Palestinian death toll.
Ahn Sung-jin has more.

Many rejoiced at the news of a six-week ceasefire deal agreed between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
But just days before the deal is implemented on Sunday, Israel conducted more airstrikes in Gaza, killing at least three more Gazans, and raising the death toll to 86 since the news of the ceasefire agreement.
According to Gaza's Civil Defense Service, the death toll includes 23 children and 27 women.
During the same period, more than 250 Palestinians have been injured in the airstrikes.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a Security Cabinet meeting on Friday to discuss and ratify the ceasefire, which was successfully agreed on.
According to local media, in a statement from Netanyahu's office, the prime minister has been informed of the release of hostages and has signed the deal.
This comes after the vote was initially postponed with Netanyahu blaming a last-minute disagreement with Hamas for the delay.
A full Cabinet meeting to give final approval to the ceasefire deal is expected to take place on Saturday, and considering the legal procedures, the first hostages could be released as early as the 20th.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the deal will start on time despite what he called a last-minute "loose end."

"On the ceasefire, yes, I am confident, and I fully expect that implementation would begin, as we said, on Sunday. Look, it’s not exactly surprising that in a process, in a negotiation, that has been this challenging and this fraught, you may get a loose end. We are tying up that loose end as we speak."

Following the ceasefire agreement, the European Union on Thursday pledged 120 million euros,.. or over 123 million U.S. dollars in aid for Palestine.
According to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in a post on X, the "ceasefire and hostage release agreement offers hope the region desperately needed," but added that Gaza's "humanitarian situation remains grim."
The aid will provide assistance to address acute food insecurity and malnutrition, healthcare assistance, water, sanitation, and hygiene support,. shelter and protection assistance.

The latest humanitarian assistance to Gaza from the bloc brings the total value to over 460 million US dollars since 2023.

Say: ‘O Jews, if you think that, leaving all other people, you alone are the friends of Allah (i.e., Awliya’), then long for death (because His Awliya’ will not fear in the grave and the Hereafter) if you are true (in your thinking).’‏

(الْجُمُعَة‏ - Al-Jumu‘ah [62 : 6])

And these people will never long for it due to (the rejection of the Messenger and disbelief) which they have sent forward. And Allah knows the wrongdoers well.‏

Say: ‘The death from which you are fleeing is bound to catch up with you. Then you will be returned to Him (the Lord) Who knows the unseen and the seen. So He will inform you of what you used to do.’‏

And is it (not so) that every time they made a promise, a party of them disregarded it and threw it aside? The fact is that most of them do not believe.‏

(الْبَقَرَة‏ - Al-Baqarah [2 : 100])

And (likewise), when there came to them from Allah the Messenger, (Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him, ) who (originally) confirms that Book which they (already) possessed, a party of the People of the Book threw the (same) Book of Allah (the Torah) behind their backs as if they did not know (it, whereas the same Torah had brought them the good news of the holy arrival of Muhammad the Last Prophet [blessings and peace be upon him]).‏

A section of the People of the Book desire to, somehow, lead you astray, but they have led astray only themselves whilst they have no sense (of it).‏

O People of the Book! Why are you denying Allah’s Revelations whilst you bear witness yourselves (i.e., you have read everything in your Books)?‏

(آل عِمْرَان‏ - Āl ‘Imrān [3 : 70])

O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and why do you hide the truth whereas you know?‏

Bismillahirrahamanirrahiim

And indeed, Allah took a firm promise from the Children of Israel, and We appointed amongst them twelve chieftains (for its fulfilment, enforcement and protection). And Allah said (to the Children of Israel): ‘I am with you (i.e., My special support and reinforcement will escort you).’ If you establish Prayer and pay Zakat (the Alms-due) consistently, and (always) adhere to believing in My Messengers, and furnish persistent support to their (Prophetic Mission), and lend Allah a handsome loan (for the financial support, promotion and prevalence of His Din [Religion]), I will certainly remove your sins from you, and will assuredly admit you to the Gardens with streams flowing beneath. Then, later, whoever from amongst you rejects faith (i.e., violates the promise) indeed strays from the straight path.‏

(الْمَآئِدَة‏ - Al-Māidah [5 : 12])

Then We laid Our curse on them because of their breach of promise (i.e., they were deprived of Our mercy), and We made their hearts callous (i.e., they were deprived of guidance and susceptibility. So, ) they change the Words (of Allah’s Book) from their (right) places, and have forgotten a (major) portion of that (guidance) which they were urged upon. And you will continue being informed about one or the other of their treachery, except a few of them (who have embraced faith). So pardon them and forbear. Indeed, Allah loves the benefactors.‏

(الْمَآئِدَة‏ - Al-Māidah [5 : 13])

And We (also) took a (similar) promise from those who say: ‘We are Christians.’ Then they (too) forgot a (major) portion of that (guidance) which they were urged upon. So, (owing to this breach of promise, ) We infected them with mutual hostility and spite till the Day of Resurrection. And Allah will soon unveil to them (the reality of the acts) which they used to perpetrate.‏

(الْمَآئِدَة‏ - Al-Māidah [5 : 14])

O People of the Book! Indeed, there has come to you Our Messenger who (clearly) unfolds to you many such things from the Book as you have been concealing and who overlooks many of (your) wrongs (too). There has indeed come to you a light from Allah (i.e., Muhammad [blessings and peace be upon him]) and an Enlightening Book (i.e., the Holy Qur’an).‏

(الْمَآئِدَة‏ - Al-Māidah [5 : 15])

By this Allah guides those who seek His pleasure to the paths to peace (and security), and takes them out of darkness (of ignorance and disbelief) by His command, and leads them to the light (of faith and guidance), and directs them towards the straight road.‏

(الْمَآئِدَة‏ - Al-Māidah [5 : 16])




They have indeed committed disbelief who say: ‘Verily, Allah is (but) the Messiah, the son of Maryam (Mary).’ Say: ‘Who is then (the one) who can possess a bit (of the will) of Allah if He should so decide as to destroy Messiah, the son of Maryam, and his mother, and all that are on earth (who can save them against His will)?’ And the sovereignty of the heavens, the earth and (the universe) that exists between them, (all) belongs to Allah alone. He creates what He wills and Allah has absolute power over everything.‏

(الْمَآئِدَة‏ - Al-Māidah [5 : 17])

And the Jews and the Christians say: ‘We are the sons of Allah and His beloved ones.’ Say: ‘(If your statement is correct) then why does He punish you for your sins?’ Rather (the truth is that) from amongst all (the Creation) Allah has brought into being, you (too) are (but) human beings (i.e., just like other human species). He forgives whom He pleases and chastises whom He wills. And the sovereignty of the heavens, the earth and (the universe) that exists between them, (all) belongs to Allah alone and to Him (everyone) has to return.‏

(الْمَآئِدَة‏ - Al-Māidah [5 : 18])

O People of the Book! Indeed, Our (Last) Prophet has come to you (at the juncture) when (the chain of) Messengers’ succession is breaking off, and he expounds to you (Our commands and injunctions) with ample clarity, (because) you may (by way of excuse) say: ‘There has come to us no Bearer of good news or a Warner.’ (Now this excuse of yours has also lost ground because) undoubtedly, (the Final) Bearer of glad tidings and Warner has come to you, and Allah has absolute power over everything.‏

(الْمَآئِدَة‏ - Al-Māidah [5 : 19])



Say: ‘O Jews, if you think that, leaving all other people, you alone are the friends of Allah (i.e., Awliya’), then long for death (because His Awliya’ will not fear in the grave and the Hereafter) if you are true (in your thinking).’‏

(الْجُمُعَة‏ - Al-Jumu‘ah [62 : 6])

And these people will never long for it due to (the rejection of the Messenger and disbelief) which they have sent forward. And Allah knows the wrongdoers well.‏

(الْجُمُعَة‏ - Al-Jumu‘ah [62 : 7])

Say: ‘The death from which you are fleeing is bound to catch up with you. Then you will be returned to Him (the Lord) Who knows the unseen and the seen. So He will inform you of what you used to do.’‏
