Dawn reports that Palestinians in Gaza say a supposed ceasefire is merely a facade, with military operations persisting despite Western media accounts of reduced conflict intensity. Political leaders and commentators have declared that operations have "scaled back" and that a "Board of Peace" is succeeding in ending the war, according to the outlet.
Those living in Gaza experience a markedly different reality from public statements about de-escalation. Residents say Israel continues killing operations despite the ceasefire arrangement. The disconnect between Western media coverage claiming reduced conflict and ground-level accounts of ongoing military action underscores sharply differing assessments of the situation in the territory.
