Palestinians were injured today, Friday, by the bullets of Israeli occupation forces and in attacks by settlers in several areas of the occupied West Bank, at a time when the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine warned of an imminent explosion and a third intifada.

Most areas of the West Bank are witnessing a notable escalation in attacks by the occupation forces and settlers, which have resulted in a number of martyrs and dozens of injuries in the past few days.

Palestinian sources reported that the occupation forces fired live ammunition at worshippers in Ramallah towards the locals and worshippers coinciding with Friday prayers in the village of al-Mughayir, northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.

Sources stated that the Israeli army raided the village and opened fire at the locals during Friday prayers, resulting in the injury of two individuals, one of whom was shot with live ammunition.

At the same time, a correspondent reported that settlers stormed the village of Abu Falakh at dawn today, set fire to an agricultural facility, and wrote racist slogans on the walls before withdrawing.

Palestinians also suffered from suffocation due to an attack by settlers accompanied by occupation forces on the village of Kisan east of Bethlehem.

In the southern West Bank, local sources reported that several citizens were injured in an attack carried out by settlers in Wadi al-Rahim near Khirbat Susiya in the town of Masafer Yatta south of Hebron.

In other field developments, Palestinian sources said that a young man was injured by the bullets of the occupation forces in the town of Tal south of Nablus in the northern West Bank.

In northern West Bank as well, an Israeli force stormed the city of Nablus and fired bullets in its streets.

A special Israeli force also besieged a house at the entrance of the town of Burqin west of Jenin, and military reinforcements later arrived in the area.

The occupation forces also besieged a house in the vicinity of the al-Far'a camp south of Tubas, according to Palestinian sources.

At dawn today, about 10 settlers infiltrated the Tarouja mountain area located between the villages of al-Lubban al-Sharqiya and Amoria south of Nablus, and set fire to three villas in the area.

Photos obtained showed the moment the settlers infiltrated from the settlements of "Libona" and "Eli" and attempted to attack the guard while he was in the guard room, pouring flammable materials and burning the contents of the villas and furniture inside them and in their yards, before withdrawing towards the southern area of the town.

Settlers had set fire last night to a car warehouse near the town of Hawara south of Nablus.

Settlers also attacked an agricultural nursery in the town of Deir Sharaf west of Nablus, destroying its contents and damaging the crops.

Meanwhile, a crowd of Palestinians today mourned the young man Amro al-Marbou' (18 years old) and the boy Sami Mashayekh (16 years old) who were martyred earlier today by the bullets of the occupation forces in Kafr Aqab north of occupied Jerusalem.

It was reported that the occupation forces stormed Kafr Aqab and deployed their foot patrols in its streets, while their snipers took positions on the rooftops of several buildings, firing at the youths in the town, which led to the martyrdom of the two young men al-Marbou' and Mashayekh, and a third injury.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine stated today that an explosion is imminent in the West Bank amid the escalation of attacks by the occupation forces and settlers, confirming that the outbreak of a comprehensive third intifada is closer than ever.

The Popular Front added in a statement that the crime of executing al-Marbou' and Mashayekh in Kafr Aqab, along with the response of Palestinian blood, and unleashing settlers to kill and vandalize in the West Bank, "is the spark that will burn what remains of the illusions of calm," and continued that the accumulated Palestinian anger will explode in the face of the occupation.

The statement confirmed that the Palestinian people will not bow to the organized state terrorism practiced by the occupation government, and that the escalation of crimes will not bring calm, but will lead to a comprehensive confrontation that turns the West Bank into a battlefield of attrition for the occupation and settlers.

In parallel with the genocide war on Gaza, Israeli attacks in the occupied West Bank have escalated unprecedentedly, resulting in the martyrdom of no

The mini-ministerial council for political and security affairs of the occupation ('the Cabinet') witnessed a sharp disagreement among its members on Thursday evening, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proposed the formation of a ministerial team tasked with implementing the second phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza – excluding Minister of Intelligence Eli Cohen from that team.

Cohen rebelled and voted against the decision. According to information reported by Channel 12, Cohen's exclusion ignited his intense anger, as he interrupted Netanyahu during the session demanding that he be included in the team.

The disagreement did not stop there; Minister Cohen threatened to vote against the decision, which he indeed did at the end of the discussion, expressing his objection to the reduction of the 'Cabinet's' powers in favor of a 'narrow group.'

The British newspaper "The Guardian" confirmed in its editorial on Thursday that the announcement of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip led to an initial sense of relief among its residents. However, officials there confirmed that Israeli airstrikes killed 33 people, including 12 children, last Wednesday; while "Israel" claimed that its forces came under gunfire.

The newspaper stated that five more Palestinians were martyred on Thursday, in addition to hundreds since the ceasefire was announced, explaining that "even if the bombardment stops, the destruction of Palestinian lives will continue as Israel continues to choke off aid, and the repercussions of two years of war."

The World Health Organization warned last month that the health disaster will last for generations. It added, "Food is still scarce. While displaced families tremble in temporary shelters flooded with water, many face a third winter of homelessness, relief organizations say they cannot deliver their supplies of tents and blankets, and Israel, which denies blocking aid, has classified tent poles as "dual-use" materials that can be used for military purposes.

Meanwhile, the organization "Save the Children" reported that children are sleeping on bare ground in clothes soaked in sewage. The newspaper revealed last week American plans to long-term divide Gaza into a "Green Zone" under Israeli and international control for redevelopment, and a "Red Zone" left in ruins; an American official described the reunification of the sector as "ambitious."

It noted that "this vision - with international forces primarily supporting the Israeli occupation, and attracting Palestinians to those areas to escape misery and chaos elsewhere - mimics the disastrous American policies in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It confirmed, "This is the dark foundation of the United Nations Security Council's decision this week, which endorsed Donald Trump's peace proposals. The "Peace Council" appears as a colonial authority overseen by Mr. Trump, possibly cemented by Tony Blair.

It will operate under Palestinian technocrats, who enjoy local credibility and acceptance by the United States and Israel - a notable achievement. All of this is possible thanks to an international stability force that the United States hopes to deploy by January.

This would be exaggerated even if countries genuinely showed willingness to send troops. It said, "The decision improved the draft text, and received support from the Arab world - and an angry rejection from the Israeli right - by including references to a Palestinian state and Israeli withdrawal.

However, these references are framed in vague terms, as an unguaranteed reward for sufficient good behavior, rather than being an acknowledgment of the inalienable Palestinian rights.

If things go according to plan, "conditions may finally be set for a reliable path towards Palestinian self-determination and statehood." The Israeli withdrawal will be based on criteria and timelines agreed upon by the army itself, as well as by the United States and other parties.

Countries did not support what this text means, but what it might mean or become. It added, "Some believe this is the best that can be salvaged from the current circumstances, under Mr. Trump's presidency; while others hope that this unpromising start will allow for the formulation of something better.

But it is hard not to conclude that for some governments, it is more about saving face and whitewashing reputations than being in the interest of the Palestinians. Germany has already announced that it will resume arms exports to Israel.

For the Palestinians, "what seemed like an eternal war may turn into eternal misery," as political scientist Nathan Brown warned. Countries that were complicit in the genocide have a greater duty to demand better.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) announced on Friday a concerning statistic regarding the number of child victims in the Gaza Strip, despite the ceasefire agreement being in effect for a month.

The organization revealed that at least 67 children have been martyred in "conflict-related incidents" within the strip over the past month.

UNICEF clarified that this figure means "two children are martyred daily" on average, indicating the fragility of the security situation and the ongoing danger facing civilians, especially children, despite the declared calm.

The eastern areas of Khan Younis city, in southern Gaza, have witnessed the most intense military escalation in days since the morning hours of Friday, characterized by heavy shelling and demolition of buildings, alongside ground movements of occupation forces.

Field sources reported that the occupation's warplanes launched a series of violent airstrikes, accompanied by heavy and random artillery shelling targeting residential neighborhoods east of the city.

The sources explained that this fire cover "facilitated the advance of tanks and military vehicles," which were positioned within what is known as the "yellow line," the buffer zones or incursion areas defined by the occupation army.

In a notable development, the occupation army began carrying out "demolition operations of residential buildings" within this line, indicating an attempt to expand the buffer zones or conduct new offensive maneuvers.

In a related context, medical sources at the "Nasser Medical Complex" confirmed the martyrdom of a Palestinian displaced person due to injuries sustained from the occupation army's fire.

The sources clarified that the martyr was injured in an area located "outside the yellow line" south of Khan Younis city, indicating an expansion of the targeting circle to include areas that are supposed to be relatively distant from direct incursion.

The UN Security Council's decision regarding the Gaza Strip opens the door to the second phase of the "Trump Peace Plan," fraught with significant risks for the Palestinian cause, prompting factions to warn of its consequences, while many questions remain about its implementation and chances of success.

In the early hours of last Tuesday, the UN Security Council adopted U.S. President Donald Trump's plan concerning the Gaza Strip, by approving the American project supporting the "Trump Peace Plan," with the approval of 13 Security Council members, while Russia and China abstained from voting.

Ultimately, the adoption of the resolution was quick and easy, receiving the approval of the majority of members contrary to expectations, as many had warned of challenges that could delay the resolution, especially with a Russian proposal on the table. However, two main reasons stood behind this outcome: the significant pressure from the U.S. administration to adopt the resolution, and the prior approval of the eight Arab and Islamic countries supporting Trump's plan.

International newspapers have dedicated significant space to discussing developments in the occupied Palestinian territories, amid the ongoing Israeli airstrikes despite the ceasefire agreement, the worsening humanitarian crises, and the expanding devastation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

The American newspaper "Washington Post" reported that the death toll from Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip rose to dozens of martyrs last Wednesday, despite the ceasefire being in effect. According to the newspaper, the number of martyrs since the ceasefire began has exceeded 300 following a series of Israeli airstrikes, which were the third most intense in six weeks, targeting areas crowded with civilians, including children and women.

The American newspaper "Wall Street Journal" viewed the Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon as confirming the fragility of the ceasefire agreements that were supposed to have halted two years of fighting, which practically means the continuation of the war.

The newspaper quoted a researcher from Johns Hopkins University stating that Israel is now in a position to benefit from the ceasefire, as it has halted attacks against it while retaining the "freedom to strike whenever it wishes."

In contrast, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Hezbollah deny violating any agreements, describing the Israeli accusations as a pretext to continue military operations.

The British newspaper "Guardian" conveyed a grimmer picture in camps along the southern coast of the Gaza Strip, where displaced individuals are facing a harsh winter amid weather fluctuations that exacerbate their suffering.

The newspaper indicates that "surviving the bombardment does not mean the end of suffering," as shelter remains the most pressing need amid widespread destruction, in addition to food shortages due to Israel not allowing the agreed quantities to enter as per the ceasefire terms.

In the West Bank, the French newspaper Le Monde reported extensive destruction in refugee camps due to ongoing Israeli incursions for the past nine months, which have turned entire areas into unlivable places, with damaged infrastructure and destroyed buildings, making the return of about 30,000 forcibly displaced individuals nearly impossible.

In other files, concerns are rising in Ukraine and European countries over peace plans being discussed by Washington with Moscow away from Kyiv, according to the "New York Times," while the American magazine "Foreign Affairs" points to a decline in American soft power tools due to Washington's recent policies, opening the door for the rise of Chinese influence globally.

This year marks three decades since the end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a conflict in which around 100,000 people were killed. The war peaked in the Srebrenica massacre in July 1995, where Bosnian Serb forces, led by General Ratko Mladić, known as the "Butcher of Bosnia," committed a massacre against more than 8,000 men and boys within a "safe area," according to the United Nations classification.

In the following decades, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia heard hundreds of testimonies and issued convictions against dozens of Bosnian Serb political and military leaders, including those convicted of genocide. Meanwhile, Bosnia and Herzegovina, along with foreign donors, invested significant funds in studying genocide, recovering victims, and commemorating their memories.

Many Bosnian survivors of the 1992-1995 war saw striking similarities between their experiences and the suffering of Palestinians. Many took to the streets and spoke out publicly against the genocidal war in Palestine. However, a significant number of Bosnian intellectuals, particularly those specializing in war crimes and genocide, chose silence. This silence not only harms efforts to achieve justice for Gaza but also undermines the field of genocide studies.

Before we explore the reasons behind Gaza becoming a taboo subject for some Bosnian researchers, it should be noted that not everyone is silent. There is a small group of Bosnian academics, who are also activists for Palestine and human rights, who have chosen to speak out.

Among them are professors and university researchers—such as Lejla Krešević, Sanela Čekić Bašić, Gorana Milinarević, Jasna Vitašković, and Sanela Kapitanović—who emphasized that there is a moral responsibility that demands not remaining silent. They have set an example by participating in protests and making public statements.

Belma Buljubasic, a professor at the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Sarajevo, criticized European political leaders and others who express sympathy for Srebrenica while simultaneously justifying Israel's actions in Gaza as "self-defense." She argued that this duality reveals a troubling pragmatism that undermines both solidarity and accountability.

In a recent interview, Edina Pečirević, a genocide studies specialist at the University of Sarajevo—Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security, stated that the ongoing genocide in Gaza clearly reflects the same dynamics that occurred in Srebrenica: from dehumanizing people to ideological mobilization, and then international complicity.

Ahmad Alibabić, director of the Center for Advanced Studies and a professor at the Faculty of Islamic Studies at the University of Sarajevo, has been outspoken in his positions. Last year, he participated in organizing a seminar titled: From the Balkans to Gaza: A Critical Analysis of Genocide, which discussed the dynamics of contemporary mass violence by comparing the Srebrenica massacre, the siege of Sarajevo, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Nedžara Ahmadashvili, a journalist and media researcher based in Sarajevo, did not hesitate to draw comparisons between Gaza and the experiences of Bosnian survivors from besieged Sarajevo and Srebrenica.

For several months, members of the "Women's Anti-Militarism Collective in Sarajevo" organized protests in the city center, where they recited the names of children killed in Gaza, linking the war crimes in Palestine to the atrocities experienced in Sarajevo.

These individuals responded—each in their own way—to the call of the late Palestinian thinker Edward Said, who always urged intellectuals to "speak truth to power," connecting local memory to global justice and resisting selective truth narratives.

Silence, as Said pointed out, is not a neutral position; it is a political choice that perpetuates harm.

However, Said's call did not move everyone. Ironically, many Bosnian researchers in the field of genocide remained conspicuously silent, even as their colleagues from genocide researchers abroad—including Israelis: Omer Bartov, Amos Goldberg, Shmuel Leiderman—publicly accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.

This stance did not change even after the "International Association of Genocide Scholars"—the largest academic body specializing in the field—issued a resolution last August classifying Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide.

Despite this, many researchers at the "Institute for Research of Crimes Against Humanity and International Law" at the University of Sarajevo, law faculty professors, and researchers at the "Institute of Islamic Traditions of Bosniaks" continued to avoid commenting on Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

At the institutional level, the "Institute for Research of Crimes Against Humanity" only issued a statement

The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stated that the recovery of children in the Gaza Strip after the war will take a long time. This was mentioned in a post on the American platform "X" on Thursday, coinciding with World Children's Day, where he addressed the conditions of children in Gaza after two years of the horrors of the Israeli war on the region.

Ghebreyesus noted that "children in Gaza are finally breathing moments of calm after two years of violence." He pointed out that the fragile ceasefire has given children a chance to breathe, connect, play, and even begin to recover.

However, he added, "the trauma, injuries, grief, and shattered childhood will take much longer to heal." Ghebreyesus confirmed that the World Health Organization is supporting on-the-ground rehabilitation and rebuilding of the health system and expanding mental health services for children.

He added, "On World Children's Day, the World Health Organization calls for full respect for the ceasefire, leading to lasting peace." The ceasefire agreement, which came into effect on October 10, ended the Israeli massacre in Gaza, which left more than 69,000 Palestinian dead and over 170,000 injured, most of whom are children and women, while the United Nations estimated the cost of reconstruction at about $70 billion.

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority revealed on Friday that the security cabinet "kitchen cabinet" decided to form a team to implement the second phase of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, Justice Minister Yariv Levin, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir stated that the small team will work on implementing the next steps.

The Broadcasting Authority did not specify the steps that will be included in the second phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the war.

Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa, on the sidelines of the donors' meeting for Palestine in the Belgian capital Brussels, briefed a number of foreign ministers and European officials on the situation and developments on the ground in Palestine.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister discussed the importance of intensifying international efforts to establish a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and implement Security Council Resolution 2803, to initiate the recovery and reconstruction process in the sector, and to exert serious pressure to allow the entry of aid and relief supplies without restrictions, in addition to stopping the aggression of the occupation army and settlers in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, and for Israel to release the withheld Palestinian funds.

Mustafa reviewed the progress of implementing the institutional reform and development program, which includes many sectors, affirming the commitment to execute this program, which is a national demand, to develop financial policies and manage public finances, enhance the governance system and the rule of law, improve the legislative and regulatory environment for investment and business, and elevate the level of basic services provided to our people.

The terrorist attacks by settlers escalated early this Friday morning against citizens and their properties in various parts of the West Bank.

A video clip showed a violent assault carried out by settlers early this morning against citizens in Khirbet al-Masdar in the Masafer Yatta area south of Hebron.

In the city of Nablus, settlers set fire to six tourist villas under construction on Mount Taroja between the villages of Al-Lubban Al-Sharqiya and Amouriya south of Nablus, belonging to citizen Khalil Abu Sanina and several of his partners, while the guard of these villas sustained burns while trying to extinguish the fire.

Settlers also attacked a nursery in the village of Deir Sharaf west of Nablus, belonging to citizen Nasser Nasser, where they destroyed and damaged its agricultural contents.

In the city of Ramallah, settlers burned an agricultural room in the village of Abu Falah north of Ramallah and wrote racist slogans.

In the city of Bethlehem, several citizens suffered from suffocation due to the assault by Israeli occupation forces and settlers on the village of Kisan east of Bethlehem.

It is noteworthy that settlers carried out 766 attacks during the month of October, concentrated in the governorates of Ramallah and Al-Bireh, Nablus, and Hebron.

The Israeli occupation army claimed in an urgent statement issued on Friday that its forces managed to "eliminate 5 Palestinian militants."

The occupation army's statement alleged that the targeted group "emerged from a tunnel" located within the so-called "yellow line," the buffer zone in the eastern areas of the Gaza Strip.

This announcement comes amid a significant military escalation in the incursion axes east of Khan Younis, where Israeli vehicles are carrying out intensive artillery and air strikes in preparation for demolition and destruction operations of buildings in those areas.

A number of citizens were injured today, Friday, as a result of an attack by Israeli occupation forces and settlers on the village of Kisan east of Bethlehem.

Ahmad Ghazal, the Secretary of the Fatah Movement in Kisan, reported that a group of settlers, under the protection of the occupation forces, stormed the village and grazed their sheep on the citizens' lands and between the houses.

The citizens confronted them, and the occupation soldiers fired sound bombs and tear gas canisters at them, resulting in several cases of suffocation.

It is noteworthy that the occupation forces and settlers have recently escalated their attacks on Kisan, aiming to displace the residents and seize their lands for colonial ambitions.

Field sources in the Gaza Strip reported on Friday that members of "Saraya al-Quds," the military wing of Hamas, along with a team from the Egyptian security committee, have resumed the search for a detained Israeli body.

The sources clarified that the body was "detained" in an area located north of the Al-Nuseirat camp, in the central Gaza Strip. This move comes as part of ongoing Egyptian efforts to solidify understandings and address the outstanding issues between the two parties in the conflict, with the Egyptian team directly overseeing the search and excavation operations at the specified site.

On another front, the occupation army advanced into the eastern areas of Khan Younis city, in southern Gaza, on Friday morning, in what is the most intense military escalation in days, characterized by heavy shelling and demolition of buildings, alongside ground movements of occupation vehicles.

Colonists set fire early this Friday morning to six tourist villas under construction on Mount Tarouja between the villages of Al-Lubban Al-Sharqiya and Amoria south of Nablus.

Security sources reported that a number of colonists attacked the mountain and ignited the fire in the six villas, which belong to citizen Khalil Abu Suneina and several partners.

The sources added that the guard of these villas was injured with burns while trying to extinguish the fire.

It is noteworthy that colonists carried out 766 attacks during the month of October, concentrated in the governorates of Ramallah, Al-Bireh, Nablus, and Hebron, according to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission.

Colonizers have established a new colonial outpost in the vicinity of the Bedouin community of Hatraura in Khan al-Ahmar, east of Jerusalem.

The Jerusalem Governorate reported that this outpost aims to restrict the residents, prevent them from grazing, and take control of more citizens' lands for the establishment of colonial projects.

It is noted that the colonizers demolished several homes of citizens in the community a few days ago and attacked the residents with the protection of the Israeli occupation army, which arrested three young men from the area.

The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs revealed serious violations inside Ofer Prison, based on testimonies from two detainees whose health and psychological conditions deteriorated due to neglect and repression.

The commission stated in a statement issued today, Thursday, that detainee Muhammad Al-Qadi (30 years old) suffers from a severe allergy known as "cold allergy," which has caused a rash to spread all over his body. His health condition worsened after his medication was confiscated upon arrest and no treatment was provided despite his pleas.

Al-Qadi indicated that he was subjected to a violent raid of his room a month ago, where he was handcuffed from behind, blindfolded, and then taken to the bathroom away from the cameras. He was beaten specifically on the head and face and was electrocuted three times, resulting in injuries to his eye and ear and loss of balance. He was also kept in isolation for three days.

As for detainee Mujahid Yusuf (33 years old) from Silwad east of Ramallah, he underwent laser eye surgery before his arrest and needs a moisturizing drop continuously. However, the prison administration provided it for only three days and then informed him that it was unavailable, causing him burning and blurred vision.

Regarding the prison conditions, the commission's lawyer says: The daily yard time does not exceed 15 minutes in the morning and the same in the evening, and the detainees' rooms are subjected to two to three raids weekly, including searches, assaults, and insults, while the detainees receive no more than 1% of their rights.

Fifty-one countries, including Turkey, Britain, Spain, Italy, and China, confirmed that the International Atomic Energy Agency can play a role in providing urgent and long-term assistance to the State of Palestine to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.

This was stated in a joint statement regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza, signed by 51 countries during a meeting of the Agency's Board of Governors in Vienna, and was followed by Turkey's permanent representative to the United Nations Office in Vienna, LAFENT ELAR.

The statement welcomed the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, calling on all parties to adhere to and implement it. It expressed concern over the serious humanitarian situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, especially in Gaza.

The statement noted that the amount of humanitarian aid entering Gaza is "much less" than what was agreed upon under the agreement. It added, "In light of this deteriorating humanitarian situation, we believe that the International Atomic Energy Agency can play an important role in providing urgent and long-term assistance to the State of Palestine to alleviate the humanitarian plight in Gaza."

The statement requested the Agency to contribute to meeting the urgent and long-term needs of the State of Palestine in the fields of nuclear medicine, non-destructive testing, and assessing soil, air, and water contamination.

The Israeli army killed 3 Palestinians and injured others in an attack targeting a populated house in southern Gaza early Thursday.

The Civil Defense in the sector stated in a brief statement: "The recovery of 3 martyrs and 15 injuries from the Abu Sabet and Sahmoud families following an Israeli bombardment on a populated house in the Bani Suheila area east of Khan Younis in the southern sector."

Medical sources reported the "arrival of three martyrs, including two girls, one of whom is an infant, and more than 15 injuries to Nasser Hospital due to an Israeli airstrike targeting a populated house of the Abu Sabet family in the Bani Suheila area east of Khan Younis."

In this context, local sources and eyewitnesses reported several explosions resulting from demolition operations carried out by the Israeli army on homes and facilities in areas under its control outside the yellow line east of the cities of Gaza and Khan Younis, in addition to ongoing artillery shelling and gunfire from vehicles and helicopters.

The Israeli army killed 25 Palestinians and injured 77 others on Wednesday in a series of successive airstrikes targeting several areas in the sector from which it withdrew, in violation of the ceasefire agreement.

The Gaza Health Ministry stated in a statement: "25 martyrs and more than 77 injured, including serious cases, arrived at hospitals in the Gaza Strip during the wave of Israeli escalation."

The ministry did not provide further details regarding the locations of the targeting or the identities of the victims.

For its part, Israel acknowledged violating the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and launching airstrikes on "Hamas-controlled areas," claiming it was in response to gunfire targeting its forces in Rafah in the southern sector.

Previous governmental, factional, and human rights data indicate that Israel has committed dozens of violations of the ceasefire agreement that has been in effect since October 10.

Among its violations, Israel killed 280 Palestinians and injured 672 others since October 11, according to a statement issued Wednesday by the Gaza Health Ministry.

The Israeli genocide war in Gaza began on October 8, 2023, and stopped after two years under a ceasefire agreement, leaving more than 69,000 Palestinian martyrs and over 170,000 injured, most of whom are children and women, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at around 70 billion dollars.

The Nasser Medical Complex announced on Thursday the martyrdom of a victim from the fire of an Israeli occupation drone in the town of Abasan al-Kabira, located east of Khan Younis, indicating an escalation of military operations behind the 'yellow line' in that area.

Local sources confirmed that the town of Abasan, east of Khan Younis, was subjected to intense artillery shelling, in addition to gunfire from Israeli occupation helicopters.

The targeting of the aforementioned area comes as part of a field escalation in the Gaza Strip, threatening the ceasefire agreement.

Thousands of displaced people in the Gaza Strip have been living through a severe humanitarian crisis for days, as they are besieged by stormy weather, heavy rains, and the biting cold of winter.

The weather conditions have not only increased their suffering but have also led to the collapse of several dilapidated tents set up on the beach, flooding the beds and blankets they use to seek warmth.

The material losses have affected around twenty-two thousand tents, and the Gaza government estimated the damage caused by the floods at four and a half million dollars, which included the destruction of food, medicine, and infrastructure facilities.

Local relief organizations confirmed the urgent need to provide three hundred thousand new tents to shelter the residents, nearly all of whom have been forced to flee their homes during the ongoing assault on the area.

Ismail al-Thawabteh, the director of the government media office, revealed that the floods led to the collapse of emergency shelters in some areas, turning the camps into pools of water and mud.

Severe damage has been inflicted on the already strained water and sewage networks, as well as on the small solar energy facilities that are the only source of electricity in the sector.

The rates of stomach diseases and skin diseases have increased; the majority of the displaced rely on small pits and tanks for sewage that overflow with heavy rainfall.

The spread of random piles of garbage has occurred due to the inaccessibility of waste dumps or their damage, which weakens the immune system of the displaced.

On World Children's Day, which falls on November 20 each year, Palestine remembers its children, who have paid a heavy price due to the Israeli genocide that has affected their lives, education, and dreams since October 7, 2023.

The Ministry of Education and Higher Education stated in a press release today, Thursday, on the occasion of World Children's Day, that more than 19,000 children from school students have become martyrs, and about 28,000 have been injured, with hundreds of schools, kindergartens, childhood centers, nurseries, and playgrounds being completely or partially damaged in Gaza and the West Bank since the beginning of the genocide until today.

It added: On this day, which is globally dedicated to affirming children's rights to protection, education, dignity, care, play, and more, we affirm that the children of Palestine deserve to live in a stable environment that guarantees them the right to free, safe, and quality education, just as international charters and laws have ensured; especially the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959 and the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989.

It pointed out that while countries and institutions around the world celebrate this occasion, violations by the occupation army and its settlers against our children continue in various areas, in Gaza, Jerusalem, and the areas classified as "C"; hardly a day goes by without mourning a child who falls to the bullets of a settler or an occupying soldier, and this reality is not limited to documentation in numbers; rather, it is narratives of stories left behind by dreams, ambitions, and hopes that were shattered in moments, and the effects of the crimes committed by the occupation army against our children in Gaza are still present and require punishment and deterrence.

The Ministry of Education called for the urgent protection of children and school students in Palestine, supporting relief and educational recovery efforts for the children and students of Gaza, rehabilitating the educational infrastructure in the affected areas, expanding psychological and social support programs for affected school students, and continuing to invest in equitable quality education that enhances resilience and steadfastness.

Several cities and towns in the occupied West Bank witnessed a wide campaign of incursions and arrests carried out by the Israeli occupation forces, coinciding with violent assaults by settlers targeting Palestinian families and agricultural lands.

In Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank, a reporter reported that the occupation forces stormed the town of Beit Ummar north of the city, raiding a large number of citizens' homes, turning some into military barracks, and preventing movement within the streets of the town.

These raids resulted in the arrest of more than 40 Palestinians from the town during the night hours.

According to eyewitnesses, the detainees were subjected to severe beating during the army's incursion after being held in the yard of a sports field in the middle of the town, which the occupation forces turned into a field interrogation and questioning center.

The reporter also stated that the occupation forces stormed the homes of the relatives of the martyr Imran Al-Atrash in the city of Hebron and arrested several of them.

Al-Atrash is considered one of the perpetrators of the car-ramming and stabbing attack at the Gush Etzion junction in the southern West Bank last Tuesday, which resulted in the death of a settler and the injury of three others, one of whom is in critical condition.

In Hebron as well, three Palestinians from the same family were injured on Wednesday evening in an attack carried out by settlers near the area known as "Dhahr Al-Hawiya" adjacent to the bypass road number 60.

Citizen Faisal Al-Qawasmi stated that a group of settlers attacked his father, mother, and brother, causing them head injuries and multiple bruises, and the injured were transferred to the hospital for treatment.

In Jenin Governorate, the Israeli occupation forces arrested several young men in the town of Qabatiya, and a special Israeli unit carried out an infiltration operation into one of the houses in the town and arrested a young man.

In Nablus, the occupation forces stormed the courtyard of the National Hospital, and also arrested a young man from the town of Beit Furik, in addition to another arrest from the village of Salem during a raid on his home.

The town of Beit Furik also witnessed a series of raids on citizens' homes in the morning.

In the city of Al-Bireh, the occupation forces stormed the Um Al-Sharayet neighborhood, leading to a vehicle catching fire in the middle of the city after a flare bomb was dropped by the soldiers during the incursion.

The occupation forces carried out a campaign of raids in several neighborhoods in the city of Qalqilya, including the Al-Qar'an neighborhood, and arrested a young man from the Al-Naqar neighborhood.

In occupied Jerusalem, the Israeli occupation authorities delivered, yesterday Wednesday, demolition notices for the homes of four families in Aqbat Al-Khalidiya in the Old City, under the pretext that they are "unfit for habitation."

The Palestinian news agency reported that the families were surprised by the decisions despite having lived there for nearly six decades.

The families clarified that the occupation authorities have refused for years to grant them permits to renovate the buildings or improve their structure, and prevent any necessary maintenance work to preserve their safety, which led to their deterioration and later exploitation as a pretext for demolition.

According to the Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, settlers committed 7,154 assaults in the West Bank during the two years of the Israeli genocide war on Gaza, resulting in the death of 33 Palestinians and the displacement of 33 residential communities until October 5 of last month.

Data indicates that the combined assaults of the occupation army and settlers led to the death of 1,076 Palestinians and the injury of about 10,760, in addition to the arrest of more than 20,500 Palestinians until Tuesday.

On this day, November 20, every year, World Children's Day returns to reopen the wounds of Palestinians by highlighting the file of Israeli occupation violations against their children, especially those who suffer torment without trial in its prisons.

According to the Palestinian Prisoners Club and prisoner institutions, as of November 5 of this year, the Israeli occupation is currently detaining about 350 children, most of whom are without trial, isolating them from the world under harsh conditions.

The director of the Accountability Program at the Global Movement for the Defense of Children in Palestine, Aaid Abu Qteish, pointed out that 48% of child prisoners are held administratively, and only about 20 of them have received varying prison sentences.

Administrative detention is defined as detention without charge or trial, relying on a secret file and secret evidence that the detainee or their lawyer cannot access.

Abu Qteish indicates that the percentage of administratively detained children before October 2023 did not exceed 2%, but today they number in the dozens according to what the Israeli Prison Service publishes.

According to data from Palestinian prisoner institutions, the total number of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons is about 9,250, including approximately 3,360 administrative detainees.

In the context of the genocide war on Gaza, the occupation army detained 1,630 children in the West Bank, where various forms of torture against children continued after that date.

Child prisoners are completely isolated from the outside world, with no family visits, no means of communication, and no televisions or radios.

A large number of prisoners who were arrested as children have reached adulthood in prison and have been transferred to adult prisons, some of whom have been sentenced to life imprisonment.

The majority of the charges against child prisoners today are 'incitement' through posts or shares on social media.

The military orders in effect in the West Bank allow for the detention of children aged 14 to 18 for up to 48 hours without presenting them to a judge.

Human rights organizations have documented other violations against children, including physical assault during arrest and interrogation.

The number of Palestinian child martyrs has reached 2,507 since the year 2000, of whom 139 were killed by the occupation in the West Bank in 2024 and 2025.

In Gaza, UNICEF data indicates that more than 64,000 children have been killed or injured, and more than 58,000 children have lost one or both parents.
