...over 400 people murdered in total, many burned alive, and twice as many burned and limbless or crushed but not-yet-dead and with no treatment or medicines...

Gaza has been "softened up" for invasion by the mighty and brave IDF.

Oh, and Israel's word and signature on a ceasefire agreement mean absolutely nothing.
