This is what Israel calls a "ceasefire". Operation Iron Wall started 2 days after the ceasefire was declared. The only reason they "accepted" a ceasefire, and I use that term loosely since they never stopped the violence and killing, was because there was nothing left to destroy in Gaza and they had already committed to moving their efforts to West Bank.

State of Siege: Israel is conducting its largest mass expulsion campaign in the West Bank since 1967
More than 40,000 Palestinians have been forced from their homes in a violent Israeli rampage that at times has been aided by the Palestinian Authority
Qassas’s killing is part of a sweeping Israeli military assault, dubbed “Operation Iron Wall,” that has largely emptied four refugee camps in the northern West Bank—Jenin, Tulkarem, Faraa, and Nur Shams—forcing over 40,000 Palestinians to flee their homes in the largest forced displacement in the territory since the 1967 war. Israeli troops have bulldozed roads and destroyed homes, buildings, water and electricity lines, and other civilian infrastructure. On February 23, Israel’s Defense Minister said Israeli troops would remain in some of the refugee camps for the coming year and that displaced residents would not be allowed to return.
Israel launched Operation Iron Wall on January 21, two days after the Gaza “ceasefire” went into effect. More than 60 Palestinians, including 11 children, have been killed by Israeli forces and state-backed settlers in the West Bank since then. With the Gaza ceasefire deal in peril as a result of Netanyahu’s sabotage and Israel—even further emboldened by the re-election of Donald Trump—on an aggressive and violent rampage in the region, tens of thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank face one of the most dire realities imposed on them by Israel in decades.
For residents, this means a relentless escalation of daily terror and the brutal treatment of their dead.
Over the past two weeks, roads outside Jenin have been destroyed in an obliteration campaign, cafes and commercial infrastructure bulldozed, and the main streets rendered nearly impassable. While buildings inside the camp have been completely destroyed, civilian homes and buildings outside the camp have been converted into military positions, where Israeli soldiers stationed snipers and used them as shelters. The operation is now expanding beyond the refugee camp and penetrating toward the city, with the Israeli army declaring the entire district of Jenin a closed military zone.
“I want to be home,” the woman said. “I just want to be home. For the last year there has been no room to breathe. It has been one operation after the next.” She described the recent Israeli military attacks and those of the Palestinian Authority, conducted under the auspices of targeting armed resistance fighters in the West Bank. “Now this,” she said. “I can’t breathe, I want to breathe.”
“I can’t go and help them. They’ll shoot immediately at all of us because I’m a young man,” he said. With the camp ordered emptied, Israeli snipers stationed on the outskirts often shoot at will.
The snipers have also fired at journalists, medics tending to the chronically ill or injured, and the elderly who have tried to sneak in to gather some belongings.
