A Hamas leader accused Israel on Tuesday of repeatedly violating a Gaza ceasefire agreement and killing around 400 Palestinians since the truce, Anadolu reports.
In a statement, Ghazi Hamad said the Israeli army has committed 813 violations of the ceasefire deal since Oct. 10, calling the situation “extremely dangerous.”
Hamad said nearly 400 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed and 991 others injured, including 334 children and 210 women, in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire.
The Israeli violations include “killings, executions, shooting civilians, bombardment, targeted attacks, and targeted assassinations, as well as clear breaches related to humanitarian aid,” he added.
Hamad said Hamas has submitted detailed daily reports documenting the Israeli violations to mediators, warning that the Israeli breaches pose a serious threat to the agreement.
Israel “has no right to target resistance members during a ceasefire,” he said, accusing Tel Aviv of “repeatedly fabricating pretexts such as alleged explosives or gunfire without evidence,” which he said mediators know to be false.
He also said that Israel expanded its “fire control zones” across Gaza, reaching 700–1,000 meters in the north, about 1,300 meters in Gaza City, 1,150 meters in central areas, 1,100 meters in Khan Younis, and around 1,000 meters in Rafah.
Israel currently occupies more than half of the Gaza Strip and continues to target Palestinians in other areas outside its control, according to Palestinian authorities.
Israel has killed nearly 70,700 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 171,000 in Gaza since October 2023, and reduced the enclave to rubble.

The Israeli army warned of “mass personnel exodus” amid a surge in resignation requests by officers and soldiers, local media said Tuesday, Anadolu reports.
The Israeli army is suffering from a “mass exodus of officers and non-commissioned officers after they submitted resignation requests,” the daily Yedioth Ahronoth said.
“So far, there have been 500 requests from officers and NCOs in the regular forces seeking to be relieved of their positions in the army,” the paper said, without specifying when these requests were submitted.
The army is “warning of a steady rise in resignation requests, indicating a real manpower crisis affecting all age groups and military ranks, which has now reached a boiling point.”
The Israeli army expects more resignation requests from permanent personnel serving in the regular forces, the daily said.
According to the report, the Knesset has yet to approve legal amendments allowing an increase in pension entitlements for officers and soldiers by rates ranging between 7-11%.
The newspaper explained that the 500 resignation requests were submitted by permanent personnel in regular service, not reservists, and stem from low salaries amid significant attrition from military service, particularly during the war on the Gaza Strip.
The army is “struggling to convince thousands of officers and non-commissioned officers to continue permanent service, with the expected outcome being a decline in the army’s overall performance,”
Israel has killed nearly 70,700 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 171,000 in Gaza since October 2023 and reduced the enclave to rubble.

An Israeli soldier has died by suicide inside a military base in northern Israel, raising the number of Israeli soldiers who have taken their own lives since the start of the war on Gaza to 61, according to a Hebrew newspaper.
The newspaper Haaretz reported on Tuesday that the soldier, a tracker serving in regular military service, shot himself inside the base. He was seriously wounded and was later pronounced dead on Tuesday evening as a result of his injuries.
Shortly before that, the Israeli army said in a statement that a soldier had been seriously injured by gunfire at a military base in northern Israel and was taken to hospital, where he later died. The army added that the military police had opened an investigation into the incident.
On 28 October this year, an official Israeli report issued by the Knesset’s Research and Information Centre revealed that 279 soldiers had attempted suicide since the beginning of 2024.
The report, prepared at the request of Knesset member Ofer Cassif, said the attempts were recorded between January 2024 and July 2025. According to Israel’s official public broadcaster, the data show an average of seven suicide attempts for every confirmed suicide case.

A member of the European Parliament (MEP), Matjaz Nemec, publicly presented on Tuesday the nomination of UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, and Gaza-based doctors for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, following its official submission to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Anadolu reports.
The nomination was signed by nearly 300 eligible proposers from 33 countries, including Brazil, South Africa, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, according to a statement shared by Nemec on US social media company X.
Nemec said the nomination “is an expression of respect for the courage, efforts, and perseverance of individuals who defend fundamental human values in the most difficult circumstances” and “represents a contribution to peace that transcends political divisions.”
He highlighted Albanese’s work in upholding international law and human rights, noting that she continues her mission despite facing “strong political pressure” and sanctions from Israel and the United States.
“Francesca Albanese holds up a mirror to us all and is firmly committed to international law and the foundations we built in response to the greatest massacre in human history – World War II,” he said.
The nomination also includes Gaza-based doctors, such as Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Dr. Sara Al-Saqqa, who risk their lives amid armed conflict to carry out medical duties.
Nemec said: “With the health infrastructure completely destroyed and the acute shortage of basic necessities, they realize the values of humanity, solidarity and peace every day by saving lives and adhering to medical ethics, and they more than deserve this kind of award.”
The lawmaker emphasized that the global campaign for the nomination calls on the international community and political leaders worldwide to respect international law, human rights, and human dignity under all circumstances.
Since Oct. 10, the Israeli army has committed hundreds of ceasefire violations, killing at least 391 Palestinians and injuring 1,063 others, according to the latest figures by the Gaza Health Ministry.
Israel has killed more than 70,600 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 171,100 others in attacks in Gaza since October 2023.

European members of the UN Security Council on Tuesday cited more than 260 illegal Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians in a single month, condemning what they described as record levels of violence in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, Anadolu reports.
Speaking on behalf of the E5 — Denmark, France, Greece, Slovenia and the UK, British Ambassador James Kariuki said the Council would meet to discuss Resolution 2334, which “explicitly condemns settlement activities and calls on Israel to respect its obligations under international law.”
He warned that “the government of Israel continues to implement policies which contravene this resolution and contribute to rising instability in the West Bank,” adding that this “risks undermining the implementation of the 20-point plan for Gaza and the prospects for a two-state solution, as well as long-term peace and security across the region.”
“We strongly condemn the unprecedented rise in settler violence against Palestinian civilians of all faiths and denominations in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, with 2025 the most violent year on record,” said Kariuki.
Citing data from the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), he stated that “there were over 260 attacks on Palestinians and their property in October alone. This is deeply alarming.”
“These attacks terrorize civilians, obstruct peace efforts and threaten the security of Israel itself,” he said, calling on Israel “to abide by its obligations under international law and protect the Palestinian population of the occupied territories.”
The E5 reiterated its “call for the preservation of and respect for the status quo of Jerusalem’s holy sites.”
“We reiterate our firm opposition to any form of annexation and to the government of Israel’s settlement policies that violate international law,” Kariuki said, stressing that Israel’s decisions to allocate 2.5 billion shekels ($836,527) of funding for illegal settlements, forced evictions of Palestinians in East Jerusalem, approval of E1 settlement plan as well as “thousands of new housing units all risk destabilization and undermine the viability of a Two-State Solution.”
Kariuki emphasized the “vital” work of UNRWA. “We are shocked by Israeli authorities entering UNRWA’s compound in East Jerusalem on 8 December without prior authorization,” he said.
He noted the “inviolable” status of UN premises under international law, and demanded that Israel “respect” and “act fully in line with its obligations under international law.”
On the “precarious” economic situation in the occupied West Bank, Kariuki said, “The continued withholding of Palestinian tax revenues, threats to withdraw correspondent banking relationships, and limits on shekel transfers are wholly unjustifiable.”
“These measures risk financial collapse in the West Bank and a fiscal crisis for the Palestinian Authority, weakening its ability to deliver services, reform and assume responsibilities in Gaza as envisaged in Security Council resolution 2803,” he said.
He demanded that Israel “urgently release withheld revenues, remove or significantly increase shekel transfer limits, and confirm a longer-term extension for correspondent banking relationships to avert economic collapse and uphold prospects for peace and stability.”
“We are deeply concerned by the movement restrictions, forced displacement, and the conduct of operations by Israeli security forces in the West Bank, aggravating the humanitarian situation, and call for their immediate end,” he said.
