<p>Ten months into <a href="https://breakthroughnews.org/2025/10/09/israel-hamas-ceasefire-deal-met-with-cautious-optimism/">the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire deal</a>,
the Israeli genocidal aggression against the besieged territory has not
stopped, nor has the dire humanitarian situation improved.</p>
<p>Over the ostensible truce period, Israel killed at least <a href="https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1360357956269143&id=100068848555061&rdid=Gsy7Y6F2MQZqjEQ0#">1,185</a>
people across the Gaza Strip, and injured 3,816 others, according to
Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry. This takes the death toll of Palestinians killed
in the Israeli genocidal aggression since October 2023, to 73,311
people.</p>
<p>Daily massacres have been committed as the Israeli Occupation Forces
(IOF) have continued to launch airstrikes and artillery shelling, while
expanding ground incursions, during which civilians were shot dead.</p>
<p>The latest massacre of which took place on Tuesday, July 21, when an <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/21/there-is-no-safe-place-israeli-attack-kills-family-of-six-in-gaza">Israeli airstrike</a>
hit a house in the Sabra neighborhood in Gaza city. A man of the
Al-Masri family, his wife, and four children were burned alive in the
aerial assault.</p>
<p>Earlier that day two other men \u2013 also from the Al-Masri family \u2013 were <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/VVwwNDFF9GY?si=-1bHdXVAdAKSW1ae">burned beyond recognition</a>, when an Israeli strike targeted their vehicle in the town of Al-Zahra, northwest of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.</p>
<p>The consistent mass killing in Gaza, alongside Israel\u2019s continued ban
of aid entry, reconstruction, and emergency evacuations, provides stark
evidence that the genocide remains in full swing and that the <a href="https://breakthroughnews.org/2026/06/17/palestinian-factions-we-categorically-reject-unilateral-disarmament/">Trump-dictated ceasefire</a> is nothing but a facade.</p>
<h3><strong>\u201cThey lied to you,\u201d say Palestinians and their supporters as the genocide continues</strong></h3>
<p>On Thursday, July 16, Palestinian and international activists, journalists and humanitarian workers launched a global <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Da3fzP-RKB6/">digital campaign</a> under the hashtag #TheyLiedToYou.</p>
<p>The campaign aims to debunk the narrative of the Trump and the
Netanyahu administrations, which claims that the October 2025 ceasefire
brought the Israeli genocidal aggression against Gaza to an end.</p>
<p>\u201cThey lied to you. They call it a ceasefire, when food was blocked,
hospitals were attacked, and neighborhoods were erased,\u201d Romanian
activist Nicole Jenes noted on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Da3fzP-RKB6/">one of the campaign\u2019s videos</a>.</p>
<p>\u201cAnd they counted on your silence. Don\u2019t let their words become a
cover for ongoing suffering,\u201d Palestinian-American activist, producer,
and storyteller, Alana Hadid continued.</p>
<p>A number of Palestinian journalists and citizens appeared in <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Da-WnACNcd-/">another video</a> aired by<em> Quds Network</em>, using the same slogan of the campaign, while sounding the alarm about the persistent catastrophic situation in Gaza.</p>
<p>While the campaign has gone globally viral over the past week, the
people of Gaza still need the people of conscience around the world to
amplify their voices and organize more effective global actions to end
their tragedy.</p>
