The IDF has described the ceasefire as an “operational pause”, in line with comments overnight from the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu – a clear attempt to hint that bombing could resume after the hostage exchange is completed. “Our terminology is not ceasefire, our terminology is an operational pause,” Hecht said.
So yeah, they will keep bombing. Not could resume, will resume.
This is how ceasefires (or in this case operational pauses) with Israel look like. Or, to rephrase, this is why ceasefires with Israel don’t hold for long.
I don’t know where my original comment that you replied to went, but
More than 100 Palestinians in Gaza – including 50 from one family – were reported killed on Wednesday as Israeli forces continued to attack across the strip from land, sea and air hours after agreement was reached for a ceasefire to begin on Thursday.
So for attacks to continue on Wednesday is still, uhh… Kosher?
It is clear and indisputable that Israel’s bloodlust is greater than its desire to get the hostages back.
Or even settle on a solution other that their own
Just a reminder. Israel knew about the tunnel system under al-Shifa hospital because they built it themselves. Their own former prime Minister admitted that they built the tunnels when being interviewed by Christiane Amanpour.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Abass distributed a message from Dr Essay Nabhan, the head of the nursing department, who said: “The hospital was transformed from a centre providing medical services into a mass grave.
The IDF released black and white footage showing bombing from air and sea, plus a video of Israeli soldiers operating in a shattered urban landscape, clearing buildings at gunpoint and calling in airstrikes to attack nearby compounds.

The IDF showed a group of reporters a reinforced shaft linked to a bathroom, kitchen and an air-conditioned meeting room that it said was part of an underground network of Hamas tunnels beneath al-Shifa.
Aid agencies meanwhile warned that the humanitarian crisis was so catastrophic as a result of the fighting that a four-day pause in hostilities would do little to alleviate the situation, and called for a permanent ceasefire.

Why is everyone calling this a ceasefire deal? It’s only for like, 4 days. It’s a pause.
Because a ceasefire is just a temporary stop to fighting.
Why do people think ceasefire means some sort of permanent truce and end to war?
In world war one they had a ceasefire for Christmas. That lasted one day. Doesn’t matter how long it is, if it’s a temporary mutual agreement to stop fighting for whatever reason, it’s a ceasefire.
If it’s a permanent mutual agreement to stop, it’s a peace treaty.
I get that, but ceasefire to me has always meant a stop to the fighting, indefinitely. Basically, the fighting stops without any stated end. If it does end, it ends. But the time limit aspect, at least from my understanding, isn’t specified.
I do get your meaning tho, and in that context it is considered a ceasefire. Thanks for the insight, I had actually forgotten about that WW1 reference.
That’s an armistice.

What? Their agreement states they won’t bomb Gaza for five days.
