The Gaza Strip woke up this Thursday awaiting the transition to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, although its citizens tell EFE, in conversations among the rubble of Gaza City (north), of their distrust regarding the truce. "It's just empty words. This morning I recited the prayer "Al Fayr" (of dawn) and, upon leaving the mosque, they bombed with two missiles and destroyed the entire area. What does that prove? There is no second or third phase, they are lying," says Yamil Hamada, 57 years old.

When he left the temple, Hamada heard the detonations of Gazan buildings that, daily, the Israeli Army carries out in the perimeter of Gaza that still remains under its control, beyond what is known as the 'yellow line'.
