The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) and the Director-General of the Board of Peace, Nickolay Mladenov, denounced the violence that occured in the Gaza Strip over the weekend in Sunday statements.
“I am deeply concerned by what has taken place since Friday: Hamas armed operatives emerging from a tunnel in Rafah, Israeli strikes that tragically also killed civilians,” Mladenov wrote on his official X/Twitter account.
“Such developments risk the hard-won progress under UNSCR 2803 and President Trump’s 20-Point Peace Plan. All must exercise restraint and uphold the ceasefire as the @NCAG prepares to assume civilian and security responsibilities, shifting Gaza’s trajectory from violence and destruction to recovery and reconstruction,” he added. “My office and I are working closely to support the Committee and find ways that prevent future incidents. We will need everyone’s full cooperation to make this possible.”
“We extend our deepest condolences to the families who have lost their sons, and we call on all parties to commit to a ceasefire,” NCAG posted on the committee’s X account.
NCAG “affirms its commitment, alongside its partners, to preventing further such tragic incidents, protecting civilians, and ensuring that the future path is based on self-restraint and respect for civilian lives,” it added.
“The loss of life in Gaza over the past few days is excruciating. Our condolences to the families who are grieving. We call on all sides to uphold the ceasefire. NCAG is committed with partners to prevent further incidents and protect civilians,” NCAG Chief Commissioner Ali Shaath added.
“The path forward must be one of restraint, responsibility, and respect for civilian life,” Shaath concluded.
Neither NCAG’s collective statement nor Shaath’s personal one mentioned Israel, the IDF, Hamas, or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, while Mladenov shared the blame on both Hamas terrorists and Israeli strikes for breaking the ceasefire.
What happened that appeared to break the ceasefire?
The statements follow the IDF’s striking of military infrastructure in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, including at least four terror commanders and additional terrorists from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, according to earlier statements from the IDF.
The military affirmed that it struck a weapons storage facility, a weapons manufacturing site, and two launch sites belonging to Hamas terrorists. Authorities from the Hamas-administered Gaza health ministry claimed that an airstrike on a Hamas police station killed 32 people.
These strikes, in turn, followed a ceasefire violation on Friday, during which a key Hamas commander attempted to flee a tunnel near Rafah.
The military, on Sunday, confirmed that the IDF’s 188th Brigade and Yahalom Combat Engineers destroyed an underground tunnel hundreds of meters long near Khan Yunis.
Later on Sunday, the military identified terrorists crossing the Yellow Line, posing an imminent threat to the soldiers posted to the area. The soldiers opened fire, killing at least one of the terrorists, the military confirmed.
The Rafah Border Crossing between Gaza and Egypt reopened to pedestrian traffic on Sunday morning, for the first time since 2025, under the supervision of representatives from Egypt, the European Union, and the IDF’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT).
Although the lists of civilians crossing have already been approved by Israel, only a handful of crossings are expected on Sunday, according to Walla.
COGAT later corroborated this, noting that it is a “pilot test” during which COGAT will “assess the operation of the crossing.” The pilot will allow operators to rehearse procedures and ensure that all identification screening systems are functioning properly, Walla noted.
