"The pattern, documented across multiple fronts this week including a surge of strikes in Lebanon despite the announced extension of the ceasefire there, suggests that ceasefires have functioned less as true pauses in hostilities than as cover for accelerated fact-making on the ground."
"In Gaza, the week brought some of the heaviest strikes on civilian and police infrastructure since the October ceasefire. Forty Palestinians were killed from April 20 to April 27, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health."
"The Popular Committees in Gaza condemned the repeated targeting of the Palestinian police as a direct attack on citizens' security."
Settler violence has surged into Palestinian-administered areas, with Israeli forces intensifying their actions despite declared ceasefires in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. The ceasefires appear to serve as a cover for increased military operations rather than genuine pauses in hostilities. Recent weeks have seen heavy strikes in Gaza, resulting in numerous civilian and police casualties. Municipal elections were held in the West Bank and Gaza, but many Palestinians remain skeptical about their potential for change amid ongoing violence and instability.
