Islamic Relief calculates that Israeli fire kills or wounds a Palestinian every ninety minutes, warning that A ceasefire in name only cannot be an excuse for international inaction.

The Washington Post reported Israeli control covered 53 percent at the ceasefire, while Islamic Relief says the Yellow Line pushes Palestinians out of 65 percent, and Netanyahu told an audience he ordered troops to seize 70 percent.
