News report by Tareq S. Hajjaj for Mondoweiss documenting that Israel killed 19 people in Gaza on August 3, 2026, hours after US President Trump announced a supposed agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas. Hajjaj interviews a Gaza resident who says the attacks confirmed what people already knew, that Israel would not abide by any agreement that does not guarantee its total control over the Strip. A pharmaceutical warehouse at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital was struck over the weekend of August 1-2, 2026, with a fire destroying roughly half of the facility's medical supplies. The article examines how the pattern of violence immediately following ceasefire announcements reflects Israel's consistent refusal to honor agreements that it has signed. Recommended for researchers and journalists documenting the contradiction between ceasefire and disarmament announcements and the continuation of Israeli violence, providing ground-level testimony from inside Gaza of the immediate impact of the post-announcement attacks on civilians and medical infrastructure.
