AOTR Elevates Fadi Assi and Jumaa

AOTR URGENT ALERT: Ceasefire Violation — Fadi Assi & Jumaa

We stand with families, advocates, and community protectors calling for immediate accountability in the killing of two Palestinian children, eight‑year‑old Fadi Assi and his ten‑year‑old brother Jumaa, who were shot dead by Israeli forces in northern Gaza.

On Monday, the Israeli army admitted that troops from the Carmeli Brigade opened fire on the boys in separate incidents, claiming they posed “an immediate threat” after crossing into an area under Israeli control according to the ceasefire agreement. This justification echoes a pattern of repeated breaches of ceasefire terms.

The ceasefire, in effect since October 10, 2025, was meant to halt violence and protect civilians. Yet Israeli military assessments now confirm that Israel controls more than half of Gaza’s territory under the first phase of the deal. Earlier that same day, another Palestinian was killed by fire from an Israeli Quadcopter drone east of Gaza City, outside the designated withdrawal zone.

Human rights organizations and Palestinian groups have documented dozens of ceasefire violations, resulting in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of civilians, including children and women. The killing of Fadi and Jumaa is not an isolated tragedy—it is part of a systemic disregard for Palestinian lives under occupation.

We demand coordinated international response, independent investigation, and full accountability for these violations. Fadi and Jumaa’s lives mattered. They were loved, cherished, and deserved protection under the ceasefire. Their deaths must not be treated as expendable or forgotten.

We take care of each other. We amplify the silenced. We demand justice.
