This morning, Wednesday, a citizen and her child were seriously injured due to shelling by Israeli occupation forces in the southern Gaza Strip.

Our correspondent reported that an Israeli drone targeted a citizen and her child near the "Shireen Abu Akleh" roundabout in the town of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis, resulting in serious injuries to both.

As of last Monday, the toll of martyrs and injuries since the ceasefire agreement came into effect on October 11 has reached 266 martyrs and 635 injured.

The number of martyrs in the Gaza Strip since the start of the Israeli occupation's aggression on October 7, 2023, has risen to 69,483, the majority of whom are children and women, with injuries totaling 170,706, while several victims remain under the rubble, and rescue teams are unable to reach them.

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed on Wednesday the United Nations' adoption of its annual resolution affirming "the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination," which includes independence, return, and living freely in their homeland, free from Israeli occupation.

The ministry stated in a statement that the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination is "firm and not subject to any negotiations or conditions." It pointed out that the resolution aligns with the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, which emphasized the illegality of the occupation and the necessity of ending it immediately and without delay.

The Foreign Ministry added that the importance of the resolution increases in light of "the escalation of occupation crimes, including forced displacement, expansion of settlements, and annexation of land," alongside what the Gaza Strip is experiencing in terms of "genocide and widespread destruction."

It noted that the resolution is considered "an important pillar" that enhances the Palestinian diplomatic effort to protect national rights. The Foreign Ministry called on the countries that voted in favor of the resolution to "translate their positions into practical steps that enable the Palestinian people to exercise their right to self-determination and end the occupation, in commitment to international law and the ruling of the International Court of Justice."

On Tuesday evening, the United Nations adopted its annual resolution in its committee specialized in human rights and humanitarian affairs under the General Assembly. The resolution affirms "the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, independence, and living in their homeland free from Israeli occupation, as an inalienable right, not subject to any conditions or reservations, and not negotiable or subject to compromise."

The resolution also confirmed "what the International Court of Justice stated in its advisory opinion issued in July 2024 regarding the illegality of the Israeli occupation and the demand to end it without any delay, as it constitutes an obstacle to the ability of the Palestinian people to exercise their right to self-determination and the independence of their state."

164 countries voted in favor of the resolution, including Canada, Australia, all EU countries, and the majority of South American, Asian, and African countries, while only 7 countries voted against it: Israel, the United States, Argentina, Paraguay, Micronesia, Nauru, and Papua New Guinea, with 9 countries abstaining from voting.

On October 8, 2023, the Israeli genocide in Gaza began and stopped after two years under a ceasefire agreement, having resulted in more than 69,000 Palestinian deaths and over 170,000 injuries, most of whom were children and women, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at around 70 billion dollars.

Simultaneously with the genocide, the West Bank witnessed an unprecedented escalation in attacks by settlers and the Israeli army against Palestinians, resulting in more than 1,076 deaths and approximately 10,700 injuries, and the arrest of more than 20,500 during the two years of the genocide in Gaza.

The Israeli army carried out a wide-ranging arrest campaign at dawn on Wednesday, targeting around 100 Palestinians from the town of Beit Ummar, north of the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, after closing all its entrances.

This comes hours after the killing of an Israeli settler and the injury of three others, one of whom is in critical condition, following a hit-and-run and stabbing incident at the "Gush Etzion" junction in the occupied West Bank, carried out by two Palestinians, one of whom is from Beit Ummar, who were shot dead by Israeli forces on the spot.

On Tuesday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced in a statement that the Palestinian Civil Affairs Authority, which is the official contact with Israel, informed it of the "martyrdom of Imran Al-Atrash from Hebron, and Walid Muhammad Sabarnah from Beit Ummar, after the occupation forces shot them," near Bethlehem in the southern West Bank.

Eyewitnesses reported that a large number of Israeli army forces stormed the town of Beit Ummar at dawn on Wednesday, raiding dozens of homes, including the Sabarnah family's house, and destroying its contents.

They indicated that the army began a wide arrest operation in the town, targeting around 100 Palestinians, and turned the municipal stadium in the town into a field detention and interrogation center.

Videos showed Israeli army forces escorting bound Palestinians in the town, while the army closed all entrances to the town with dirt barriers and iron gates, preventing movement in and out of the town.

The Israeli army carried out a series of incursions targeting cities and towns in the West Bank, according to eyewitnesses.

These developments come at a time when the West Bank is witnessing an unprecedented escalation of attacks by settlers and the Israeli army against Palestinians, resulting in the deaths of at least 1,076 and injuries to about 10,700, and the arrest of more than 20,500 during the two years of the genocide in Gaza.

The former Egyptian Vice President and former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, described the UN Security Council's decision regarding Gaza and peace as 'miserable, unjust, and unprecedented.' ElBaradei stated in a tweet on the 'X' platform: 'The decision transfers the entire Palestinian issue from the United Nations and its legitimacy and resolutions to the United States and its biases and control,' emphasizing that the decision ignores international law and the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and governance, and entrenches injustice and occupation.

He continued: 'The Security Council's decision will not contribute in any way to achieving peace and stability.' The UN resolution numbered 2803 welcomed the 20-point plan by US President Donald Trump to end the conflict in Gaza, issued on September 29, 2025, according to the 'United Nations' website.

Washington proposed the draft resolution to deploy a multinational force in Gaza, amid a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas that has been in effect since October 10 of last year. The agreement halted a genocide initiated by the occupying army on October 8, 2023, in Gaza with US support, which lasted for two years, resulting in over 69,000 Palestinian martyrs, more than 170,000 injured, and massive destruction affecting 90 percent of civilian infrastructure.

In contrast, Russia stated that the US draft resolution adopted by the Security Council regarding the future of the Gaza Strip does not align with international resolutions that call for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. This was stated in a statement issued by the Russian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday, in which it noted that Moscow and Beijing abstained from voting on the draft resolution, which received the approval of 13 countries in the UN Security Council.

On Monday evening, the UN Security Council adopted the US draft regarding the end of the Israeli war in the Gaza Strip by a majority, with 13 council members voting in favor, while Russia and China abstained from voting. The ministry stated: 'The adopted resolution does not involve the Palestinian Authority in the administration of Gaza, nor in the process of determining the future of the Palestinians based on a two-state solution, and the resolution does not include any obligations on Israel as the occupying power to abandon its annexation of Palestinian territories and withdraw its forces.'

The ministry's statement added: 'The Security Council and the UN Secretariat have been excluded from the process of overseeing the structures that will be established in Gaza and the deployment of international forces.' It further stated: 'The adopted resolution number 2803 does not authorize the UN Security Council to maintain peace and security, and this decision violates international law resolutions that call for the establishment of an independent State of Palestine on the 1967 borders, living in peace and security with Israel, with East Jerusalem as its capital. If Washington had not continuously exercised its veto against resolutions calling for a ceasefire in Gaza over the past two years, the war in the region and the suffering of civilians would have ended a long time ago.

United Nations officials reported that the rain, floods, and severe cold in the Gaza Strip have exacerbated the situation in the area, emphasizing the urgent need to lift restrictions immediately to deliver more humanitarian aid.

Tom Fletcher, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, stated in a post on X platform, "The Palestinians in Gaza are suffering from cold and dampness after the recent rains, and frustration is growing as flood levels rise and what little property they have left is destroyed."

Fletcher pointed out that the UN and its partners are working to provide assistance, but the need is much greater, calling on Israel to urgently lift the remaining restrictions to deliver more aid.

On another note, Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, said at a press conference held on Tuesday evening at the UN headquarters that "humanitarian aid workers from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) continue to distribute tents, plastic sheets, and other essential relief materials to families affected by the rains."

Haq added that in this context, the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process has allocated $18 million from the Humanitarian Fund for the Occupied Palestinian Territory to support vital operations throughout Gaza.

He explained that the heavy rains and winter conditions have worsened the difficult living conditions in Gaza, noting that this funding will allow for the advancement of projects related to basic needs such as food, water, health, and shelter in the area.

In recent days, a low-pressure system accompanied by winds and rain has hit the Gaza Strip, causing tens of thousands of tents housing displaced persons to flood, leaving them without their last remaining shelter and belongings, after Israel destroyed their homes over two years of extermination.

The number of displaced persons in the Gaza Strip is estimated by the government media office to be 1.5 million Palestinians, living in a tragic reality due to the lack of basic living conditions and difficulty accessing essential supplies and vital services due to the ongoing Israeli blockade.

Most of these displaced persons have taken refuge in damaged tents, while the government office estimated at the end of September that the percentage of tents no longer suitable for habitation reached about 93%, with 125,000 tents out of 135,000.

Over nearly two years of extermination, tens of thousands of tents have been damaged due to Israeli bombardment that directly hit them or targeted their surroundings, while some have deteriorated due to natural factors such as high summer temperatures and rain and winds in winter.

With the flooding of these tents, Palestinian displaced persons have no alternative places for shelter, as Israel has destroyed 90% of the civil infrastructure over the past two years, with initial losses estimated at around $70 billion.

Israel also refuses to allow the entry of alternative shelter, evading its obligations outlined in the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10.

This agreement halted a genocide that left more than 69,000 Palestinian martyrs and over 170,000 injured, most of whom are children and women.

On a daily basis, Israel violates the agreement, resulting in the martyrdom and injury of hundreds of Palestinians.

The British newspaper "The Guardian," in a report prepared by Julian Borger, described the United Nations Security Council's decision regarding Gaza as the strangest and most ambiguous, especially since it mandates the "Peace Council" in Gaza to oversee an international stabilization force, the countries willing or ready to participate in which remain unclear.

The newspaper stated that "the UN resolution aims to transform the fragile ceasefire in Gaza into a real peace plan, and is one of the strangest decisions in the history of the United Nations," adding that "it grants Donald Trump absolute control over Gaza, and Tony Blair may be directly subordinate to him in the Peace Council, which will oversee multinational peacekeeping forces, a committee of Palestinian technocrats, and a local police force for two years."

The report noted that "no one knows who will participate in the Peace Council; it is only as Trump announced on social media, that it will be chaired by the American president and will include the strongest and most respected leaders from around the world," pointing out that the council will report to the Security Council, but will not be subordinate to the United Nations or bound by its previous resolutions.

It continued: "It will oversee the international stabilization force, the number of whose members has not yet been specified, and which the United States wishes to deploy by January. The countries that the United States has contacted, including Egypt, Indonesia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates, have expressed hesitation so far."

It highlighted that the resolution stipulates that the international stabilization force will ensure a "disarmament process" in Gaza, indicating that it will have to withdraw weapons from "Hamas," which immediately insisted after the UN vote that it would not disarm.

The report's author commented: "There is no appetite among the countries that will participate in the international force to confront the seasoned fighters of the movement. In the meantime, Israeli security forces are expected to take responsibility for security in the territories currently occupied by Israeli forces, but this too could serve as a recipe for clashes, especially if the Israelis hesitate to leave."

It continued: "There is no greater clarity regarding the committee of Palestinian technocrats that will be tasked with managing the daily affairs of the Gaza Strip, under the guidance of Trump and his fellow leaders. It will be difficult, to say the least, to find any of these technocrats willing to work with Trump, who may have any influence over the 2.2 million Palestinians living in Gaza. The same applies to the alleged police force."

The Guardian emphasized that "despite the stifling ambiguity, Security Council Resolution 2803 has granted all these ambitious bodies the force of international law, in an attempt to transform Trump's 20-point peace proposal into a plan and to bolster the fragile ceasefire mediated by the United States last month into a lasting peace."

It explained that "the resolution was adopted by a majority of 13 votes to none, with Russia and China abstaining, which is evidence of its intended ambiguity, as well as the global fatigue and despair from the war in Gaza that has lasted for more than two years. This war has left over 70,000 dead and destroyed about 70% of the coastal strip's buildings, while a committee in the United Nations concluded that Israel committed genocide in Gaza."

It noted that "after the vote, the U.S. envoy to the international organization, Mike Waltz, described the resolution as a new pivot and path in the Middle East, for both Israelis and Palestinians and all the peoples of the region alike. When it was the turn of other council members to speak, they were more cautious, framing their support or approval based on what the resolution might entail, rather than what was stated in its text."

It indicated that "this was particularly evident regarding the Palestinian state. Based on the insistence of Arab and Islamic countries, the resolution was amended in recent days to include a mention of the future State of Palestine, at least. However, it did not do so by referring to the Palestinians' fundamental right to self-determination and the international commitment to a two-state solution, but rather in broad, conditional, and unconvincing language. If the Palestinian Authority satisfactorily reformed itself and advanced the reconstruction of Gaza, the resolution stipulated that conditions might be ripe for a reliable path toward Palestinian self-determination and statehood."

The newspaper added: "Although this seems merely talk, European diplomats saw a victory in convincing a Trump administration envoy to say the phrase 'Palestinian self-determination and statehood' out loud, regardless of the caveats," referring to what former U.S. negotiator and Middle East expert Aaron David Miller wrote, that the resolution is a step toward a future Palestine.

The newspaper added that "the wording of Resolution

The United Nations warned that 96% of the population in the Gaza Strip is facing catastrophic levels of food insecurity and stated that there is an urgent need to increase aid to the region to reach those in need before it is too late.

UN officials reported that the recent rains, floods, and severe cold have exacerbated the situation in the region. Tom Fletcher, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, said, "Palestinians in Gaza are suffering from the cold after the recent rains, and frustration is growing as flood levels rise and what little property they have left is destroyed."

Fletcher noted on X platform that the UN and its partners are moving to provide assistance, but the need is much greater, calling for "the urgent lifting of remaining restrictions to deliver more aid."

For his part, Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, stated that the heavy rains and winter conditions have worsened the difficult living conditions in Gaza, pointing out that the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process has allocated $18 million to support vital operations throughout Gaza.

A UN delegation visited several hospitals and displacement camps in the Gaza Strip, and the delegation, headed by the Humanitarian Coordinator for the Palestinian Territories, Ramiz Al-Akbarov, assessed the humanitarian conditions of the displaced and the health needs of Gaza's hospitals.

In this context, World Bank data indicated that the poverty rate in the region has approached 100%, with unemployment exceeding 80%.

In recent days, a low-pressure system accompanied by winds and rain struck the Gaza Strip, causing tens of thousands of tents housing displaced persons to flood, depriving them of their last remaining shelter and belongings after Israel destroyed their homes over two years of genocide.

The number of displaced persons in the Gaza Strip, according to estimates from the government media office, is 1.5 million Palestinians, who live in a tragic reality due to the lack of basic life necessities and difficulty accessing essential supplies and vital services due to the ongoing Israeli blockade.

Most of these displaced persons have taken shelter in damaged tents, while the government office estimated at the end of September that the percentage of tents that are no longer suitable for habitation reached about 93%, with 125,000 tents out of a total of 135,000.

With the flooding of the tents, Palestinian displaced persons have no alternative places for shelter, as Israel has destroyed 90% of the civil infrastructure over the past two years, with initial losses estimated at around $70 billion.

Additionally, Israel refuses to allow alternative shelter to be brought in, evading its commitments outlined in the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10.

The agreement halted a genocide that left more than 69,000 Palestinian martyrs and over 170,000 injured, most of whom are children and women, but since then, the occupation has continued its bombing and demolition operations and violated the agreement, resulting in hundreds of martyrs and injured.

The first article of the United Nations Charter, adopted at the founding of the organization in 1945, states "the principle of equality in rights among peoples and that each has the right to self-determination." Article two of the Charter prohibits "the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state."

One of the characteristics of our current time, the peak of the devaluation of international law and the undermining of its principles, is that the recent decision of the United Nations Security Council regarding the Gaza Strip, adopted on the evening of the seventeenth of this month and numbered 2803, constitutes a blatant violation of the aforementioned principles.

The decision begins by welcoming what is called the "comprehensive plan" for Gaza, namely the twenty-point plan announced by Donald Trump at the White House in the presence of Benjamin Netanyahu on September 29 of last year, which is attached to the text, and the decision even "commends" the countries that signed, accepted, or supported it.

It also welcomes what is called "Trump's historic declaration for lasting peace and prosperity," that empty document signed in Sharm El Sheikh on October 13 in the presence of the American president, after he delivered a speech before the Knesset praising the Zionist state and its prime minister, in two events we named "the Flattery Festival in the Knesset and Sharm El Sheikh."

After this unprecedented introduction in an international decision praising the leader of a great power in line with the prevailing flattery towards him in contemporary international relations, the decision welcomes the establishment of what is called the "Peace Council" as a "transitional administration" for the Gaza Strip "until the Palestinian Authority satisfactorily completes its reform program as stated in various proposals, including President Trump's 2020 peace plan," which was rejected by all Palestinian parties, including the Ramallah Authority, and rejected by the Arab League.

This means that the end of international guardianship over the strip and its handover to the Palestinian Authority is contingent upon changing the authority in accordance with a "peace plan" that has only been welcomed by the occupying state.

Then, "after the Palestinian Authority's reform program is faithfully implemented and the reconstruction of Gaza progresses, conditions may finally be available to crystallize a reliable path towards self-determination and the establishment of a Palestinian state," which is a quote from the twenty-point plan, which we have previously stated "acknowledges that it does not currently rest on the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, but makes respect for this right merely a possibility (may)."

The decision then "authorizes" the "member states working with the Peace Council and the Council itself to establish a temporary International Stability Force (ISF) in Gaza to be deployed under a unified command acceptable to the Peace Council, contributed by forces from participating countries, in close consultation and cooperation with the Arab Republic of Egypt and the State of Israel."

This means that the international force must be acceptable to the council that will be chaired by Donald Trump and will include former British Prime Minister Tony Blair among its members, in consultation with the occupying state that violates international law and commits genocide.

The decision continues: "The force works with Israel and Egypt... and with a newly trained and vetted Palestinian police force, to help secure border areas; and stabilize the security environment in Gaza by ensuring the disarmament of the strip, including the destruction of military, terrorist, and offensive infrastructures and preventing their reconstruction, as well as the permanent removal of weapons from service by non-state armed groups."

This means that the international force acceptable to Israel and working in cooperation with it will carry out disarmament in the strip and destroy tunnels as "military, terrorist, and offensive infrastructures," which is the very language of the Zionist state that has long labeled the right to resistance as terrorism.

The decision adds: "As the force tightens its control and establishes stability, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw from the Gaza Strip according to criteria and timelines related to the disarmament process, agreed upon between the IDF, the stability force, the guarantors, and the United States, except for the existence of a security perimeter that will remain until Gaza is sufficiently secured from any renewed terrorist threat."

This means that the occupying forces will not withdraw from the strip unless they are satisfied with the disarmament of the Palestinians outside their control and that of the international force, which they see as "terrorist" weapons.

They will also not withdraw except "according to criteria and timelines" agreed upon by the occupying state itself with the United States, the two countries that collaborated in committing genocide in the Gaza Strip and nearly completely destroying it.

Even if the Zionist

The Palestinian Governorate of Jerusalem considered the attempts by extremist settlers to bring animal sacrifices into Al-Aqsa Mosque a serious escalation, at a time when Jordan condemned the repeated Israeli attempts to desecrate the holy mosque.

The Governorate of Jerusalem stated in a statement that 8 settlers attempted yesterday, Tuesday, to storm the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque through the Gate of the Tribes, carrying a goat, 3 pigeons, and Jewish prayer tools (tefillin).

It added that this attempt represents a serious escalation among the ongoing and escalating violations by the settlers, and is not merely an individual incursion, but part of an organized campaign to desecrate the sanctuary, Judaize it, and impose new colonial realities in favor of the Israeli occupation.

The governorate warned that these violations constitute blatant crimes and flagrant violations of all rules of international and humanitarian law, and a clear assault on the sanctity of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

It emphasized that the entire area of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, which spans 144 dunams, is a purely worship place for Muslims, and that any attempts to impose the occupation's sovereignty over Al-Aqsa Mosque are null and rejected.

The governorate continued that these violations are carried out with support, incitement, and official backing from the Israeli occupation government.

It pointed out that the "animal sacrifice" means in the settlers' ideology "offering a sacrifice of goats or young sheep inside the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque" in an attempt to impose biblical rituals there.

According to the "Wadi Hilweh" information center in Jerusalem, the guards of Al-Aqsa Mosque managed to confront the settlers during their attempt to bring in the sacrifices, while the Israeli police arrested them.

According to the Governorate of Jerusalem, 215 settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque on Tuesday, while the number of tourists who entered the mosque through the Israeli tourism gate reached 565.

For its part, Jordan condemned on Tuesday the attempts to desecrate Al-Aqsa Mosque following the attempt to storm it by Israeli extremists with sacrifices.

In a statement issued by it, the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned "in the strongest terms the continued incursions of extremists into Al-Aqsa Mosque and their provocative practices, the latest of which was the attempt to desecrate it by bringing sacrifices into one of its courtyards."

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry's statement considered this a blatant violation of international law and international humanitarian law, and a clear infringement on the sanctity of the holy sanctuary.

It stressed that Israel has no sovereignty over the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Foreign Ministry confirmed "the Kingdom of Jordan's rejection and strong condemnation of the ongoing incursions and provocative practices of extremists that are carried out under the protection of the Israeli occupation police."

In a simultaneous escalation with the Israeli genocide in Gaza, the assaults by the army and settlers together led to the martyrdom of at least 1,076 Palestinians, and the injury of about 10,700 others, in addition to the arrest of more than 20,500 others, according to official data.

A ceasefire agreement ended an Israeli genocide war on Gaza that began on October 7, 2023, resulting in more than 69,000 Palestinian martyrs, and over 170,000 injured, most of whom are children and women, along with massive destruction in the sector, which the United Nations estimated the cost of its reconstruction at about 70 billion dollars.

The UN rapporteur on human rights in Palestine, Francesca Albanese, has sharply criticized the European Union and its member states regarding the Palestinian issue and the genocide in Gaza.

Albanese confirmed that the European Union has become a cover for member states to avoid fulfilling their international obligations regarding the Gaza and Palestine issue.

She stated, "The continued failure to suspend the trade agreement (with Israel) is extremely dangerous, especially as a result of the opposition from Germany and Italy."

Albanese addressed the ongoing arms trade between EU countries and Israel, saying, "It is very dangerous for European countries to continue sending arms to Israel, buying arms from Israel, and conducting scientific research."

In response to a question about the two-state solution, Albanese said, "I believe that any political discussion about a two-state or one-state solution is pointless at this time."

She mentioned that the violence perpetrated by Israeli settlers has been documented for 30 years, noting that 80 percent of the remaining Palestinians in Gaza, or 1.9 million people, are submerged in water and have no homes.

She added, "Was it necessary to destroy everything to satisfy Israel's desire for revenge?"

Regarding the American president's plan for Gaza, Albanese pointed out that this plan is disproportionate to international law.

Israeli settlers committed 7,154 attacks in the West Bank during the two years of the Israeli genocide on Gaza, resulting in the deaths of 33 Palestinians and the displacement of 33 communities.

A ceasefire agreement ended the Israeli genocide on Gaza that began on October 8, 2023, leaving more than 69,000 Palestinian casualties.

A Palestinian child was injured "seriously" after the Israeli army fired live ammunition during its incursion on Tuesday evening into the town of Yamoun, west of the city of Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated in a statement that its teams in Jenin transported to the hospital "a serious injury to a 14-year-old child from live bullets in the head."

According to Palestine TV (government), the Israeli army stormed the town of Yamoun, deployed its forces in its streets, and conducted searches of residents' vehicles.

Activists also published videos of the Israeli army's presence in the town, one of which documents the arrest and mistreatment of a Palestinian young man.

During the years of genocide in Gaza, the army and settlers escalated their attacks, resulting in the deaths of at least 1,076 Palestinians and injuries to about 10,760 others, in addition to the arrest of more than 20,500 others, as of Tuesday, according to official data.

A ceasefire agreement ended an Israeli genocide campaign in Gaza that began on October 8, 2023, leaving more than 69,000 Palestinian dead and over 170,000 injured, most of whom are children and women, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at around $70 billion.

The governorate continued that these violations are taking place with the support, incitement, and official backing of the Israeli occupation government.

It pointed out that the animal sacrifice in the settlers' mindset means offering a goat or small sheep inside the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in an attempt to impose biblical rituals there.

According to the Wadi Hilweh Information Center for Human Rights in Jerusalem, the guards of Al-Aqsa Mosque managed to confront the settlers during their attempt to bring in the sacrifices, while the Israeli police arrested them.

Earlier on Tuesday, footage captured by the Anadolu Agency team showed Israeli settlers attempting to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque, leading to a chase between security personnel and some Israelis who infiltrated the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The Israelis who were arrested in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Mosque were escorted out under the protection of the Israeli police.

The footage also showed the settlers attempting to smuggle a live pigeon inside a bag into Al-Aqsa Mosque.

According to the Jerusalem Governorate, 215 settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque on Tuesday, while the number of tourists who entered the mosque through the Israeli tourism gate reached 565.

In a simultaneous escalation with the Israeli genocide in Gaza, the assaults by the army and settlers together led to the death of no less than 1,076 Palestinians, and the injury of about 10,700, in addition to the arrest of more than 20,500 others, according to official data.

The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday evening that 13 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in the city of Sidon, southern Lebanon, in a "new massacre" amid a series of violations of the ceasefire in the Arab country.

The ministry stated in a statement that "an airstrike by the Israeli enemy on the Ain al-Hilweh camp in the city of Sidon resulted in the martyrdom of 13 people and injuries to several others (without a specific count)."

The Lebanese news agency reported that the airstrike "targeted the Khalid ibn al-Walid center affiliated with the Khalid ibn al-Walid mosque in the camp with three missiles."

It noted that "a large number of injured individuals were admitted to Sidon hospitals due to the Israeli airstrike, and there are calls for blood donations from all groups."

For its part, the Israeli army claimed in a statement that it targeted members of Hamas "who were operating inside a training compound in the Ain al-Hilweh area in southern Lebanon."

They also claimed that the targeted compound was "used for training and preparation with the aim of planning and executing terrorist schemes against the Defense Forces and the State of Israel."

No immediate comment was issued by Hamas regarding the Israeli statement.

United Nations officials reported that the rains, floods, and severe cold in Gaza have exacerbated the situation in the sector, emphasizing the urgent need to lift restrictions to deliver more humanitarian aid.

Tom Fletcher, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, stated in a post on the American platform "X" on Tuesday: "The Palestinians in Gaza are suffering from cold and dampness after the recent rains, and frustration is growing as flood levels rise and what little property they have left is destroyed."

Fletcher noted that the UN and its partners are working to provide assistance, but the need is much greater, calling for: "The remaining restrictions must be urgently lifted to deliver more aid."

On another note, Farhan Haq, the Deputy Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, said at a press conference held on Tuesday at UN headquarters that humanitarian aid staff from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) continue to distribute tents, plastic coverings, and other essential relief materials to families affected by the rains.

Haq added that in this context, the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process (UNSCO) has allocated $18 million from the Humanitarian Fund for the Occupied Palestinian Territory to support vital operations throughout Gaza.

The number of displaced persons in the Gaza Strip, according to estimates from the government media office, is 1.5 million Palestinians, who live in a tragic reality due to the lack of basic life necessities and difficulty accessing essential supplies, compounded by the ongoing Israeli blockade.

Most of these displaced persons have taken refuge in damaged tents, while the government office estimated at the end of September that the percentage of tents that are no longer suitable for habitation reached about 93 percent, with 125,000 tents out of 135,000 being uninhabitable.

Over nearly two years of genocide, tens of thousands of tents have been damaged due to direct Israeli bombardment or targeting of their surroundings, while some have deteriorated due to natural factors such as high summer temperatures and winter rains and winds.

With these tents flooded, Palestinian displaced persons have no alternative shelter, as Israel has destroyed 90 percent of civil infrastructure over the past two years, with initial losses estimated at around $70 billion.

This agreement halted a genocide that left more than 69,000 Palestinian dead and over 170,000 injured, most of whom are children and women.

On a daily basis, Israel violates the agreement, resulting in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of Palestinians.

The UN Security Council voted on Monday on a U.S. draft resolution supporting President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza, which includes the deployment of an international force and a path to a Palestinian state.

Thirteen members of the council voted in favor of the text, which U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Pence described as "historic and constructive."

Russia and China abstained from the vote but did not use their veto power.

However, Hamas, which is excluded from any role in the governance of Gaza under the resolution, stated that the decision "does not meet the political and humanitarian demands and rights of our Palestinian people."

For its part, Russia, which holds veto power, distributed a competing draft resolution to Security Council members, arguing that the U.S. text does not sufficiently support the establishment of a Palestinian state.

The Russian draft resolution calls on the Security Council to express its "steadfast commitment to the two-state solution."

It does not provide for the establishment of a peace council or the deployment of an international force in Gaza at this time, but calls on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to present "options" in this regard.

Israel praised the peace plan sponsored by Trump regarding Gaza the day after it was adopted by the UN Security Council in a resolution that includes the deployment of an international force.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Trump's plan will bring "peace and prosperity as it emphasizes complete disarmament, stripping Gaza of military capabilities, and uprooting extremism there."

The Palestinian Authority welcomed the UN Security Council's vote in favor of Trump's plan and urged its immediate implementation on the ground.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry published a statement on its "X" account on behalf of the "State of Palestine," stating, "The State of Palestine welcomed the UN Security Council's adoption of the U.S. draft resolution regarding Gaza, which affirms the establishment of a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire in the Gaza Strip."

Emphasizing the necessity of immediately working to implement this resolution on the ground.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his determination to continue the war against Hamas on all fronts, emphasizing the importance of disarming the movement.

Netanyahu also pointed to the pressures exerted by Iran, confirming that Israel has carried out strikes against it and that its hand is still ready for more operations.

Netanyahu's statements come at a sensitive time as military operations in Gaza continue and tensions in the region escalate.

Egypt and Britain called on Tuesday for the importance of building on the momentum following the adoption of the UN Security Council resolution regarding the Gaza Strip in order to establish a ceasefire and calm in the area, ensure the flow of humanitarian aid, and expedite the start of reconstruction.

This came during a phone call received by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi from the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, according to a statement from the Egyptian presidency.

The statement indicated that the two sides discussed the developments in Gaza and emphasized the importance of building on the momentum accompanying the adoption of the UN Security Council resolution regarding the area to establish a ceasefire and calm, ensure the flow of humanitarian aid, and expedite the start of reconstruction.

The British Prime Minister stressed the necessity of delivering sufficient humanitarian aid to the people of the area and taking all necessary measures in this regard, including efforts to encourage more international humanitarian relief organizations to work towards this goal.

On Monday evening, the UN Security Council adopted the American draft regarding the end of the Israeli war in the Gaza Strip by a majority, with 13 members voting in favor, while Russia and China abstained from voting.

The UN decision, numbered 2803, welcomed President Donald Trump's 20-point plan to end the conflict in Gaza, issued on September 29, 2025.

Washington proposed the draft resolution to deploy a multinational force in Gaza, under a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas that has been in effect since October 10 of last year.

The agreement halted a genocide initiated by Israel in Gaza on October 8, 2023, with American support, which lasted for two years, resulting in over 69,000 Palestinian deaths, more than 170,000 injuries, and massive destruction affecting 90 percent of civilian infrastructure.

According to the statement from the Egyptian presidency, the phone call between Sisi and Starmer also addressed the developments in Sudan, emphasizing the importance of intensifying efforts to stop the war and achieve stability in Sudan.

The humanitarian suffering in Sudan is exacerbated by the ongoing bloody war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces since April 2023, which has led to the deaths of tens of thousands and the displacement of about 13 million people.

The website "Declassified UK" published an article by Mark Curtis and Laura Bickcock, the editors of the site, stating that the Israeli genocide against Gaza has exposed the oligarchic system (minority rule) governing Britain, which must be changed.

The article stated that the genocide in Gaza should be a "turning point in British history, as the political system has failed miserably to confront genocide, and has made the British establishment complicit in one of the worst atrocities of our time: the ongoing Israeli assault on Palestinians, including ethnic cleansing, systematic attacks on schools and hospitals, and crimes against humanity."

It added that British leaders have cooperated militarily, politically, and diplomatically with Israel throughout the attacks on Palestinians in Gaza; however, imposing significant sanctions on Israel has now completely fallen off the government's agenda, in stark contrast to Russia, as the establishment chooses to support Israel even in its crimes.

It clarified that "there is no moral fiber in the British political and economic decision-making process. But this does not mean that the system is 'broken'; it is functioning as intended, and what we are witnessing is the peak of ministers' impunity for complicity in crimes abroad and the irrelevance of human rights and international law in British policymaking."

It mentioned that "the primary concern of the ruling establishment has been the protection of Israel and the British and Israeli arms industries. Thus, Gaza highlights many deep-seated issues in British governance and reveals the illusion of democracy in the UK, necessitating a mass movement to address ten key issues."

It added that "the most important issue revealed by the genocide in Gaza is that the government and political decision-makers do not value human life and do not treat it seriously."

It pointed out that "since the October 2023 war, British ministers have placed their strategic alliance with Israel above the lives of Palestinians stripped of their humanity, even as the death toll rises to tens of thousands. Ministers in both the Conservative and Labour governments have explicitly apologized for Israel's blatant violations of international law and human rights."

Moreover, "the government's description of the Israeli attack on Gaza as merely a war on Hamas, and the media's coverage of the genocide through this framework, has lent credibility to Israel's strategy of inflicting collective punishment on Palestinians."

This was evident when Israeli President Isaac Herzog - who was later welcomed by Keir Starmer at Downing Street - stated that an entire "people" of Palestinians were "responsible" for the attacks in October.

The article stated that "far from Gaza, the reality is that Britain has contributed to numerous genocides around the world and supports most of the repressive regimes globally, where British arms and diplomatic support contribute to many of them.

There is no need to compare the hawkish stance of the government on Russia and its war against Ukraine with the Israeli war on Gaza.

Thus, we need a foreign policy that respects and adheres to human rights."

It added, "The second issue is the commitment to international law, where all British governments claim to be committed to it, but this is not entirely true.

Gaza has revealed a belief that they can act like criminals, supporting the laws they like and ignoring those they do not.

The British government has repeatedly refused to acknowledge Israeli war crimes and has granted "special immunity" to Israeli military leaders to visit Britain.

Britain has also made efforts to protect Israel from legal blame, in stark contrast to Russia.

The uncomfortable truth that cannot be mentioned in the mainstream media is that Britain is a rogue state in its foreign policies."

It noted that "the third point concerns the government's disregard for popular pressure; the majority of the British public opposed Israel's attack on Gaza and sympathized with the Palestinians.

Popular pressure, including dozens of massive national marches, ultimately forced the government to retract its initial explicit public support for the Israeli mass attacks.

However, the British government has only improved its support for Israel in the midst of genocide, imposing selective sanctions on two Israeli ministers, not imposing a comprehensive arms embargo, continuing trade relations, and remaining a strategic ally, while strongly opposing imposing significant sanctions on it."

The article confirmed that "when the government faced pressure from the 'Palestine Action' movement, which directly targeted the largest Israeli arms company in Britain, Elbit Systems, it simply banned it.

Without the British government reforming its policy, there will be few ways for the public to influence it, certainly not through official mechanisms."

It added, "There must be real accountability; what is the use of Parliament if elected representatives cannot ensure that the establishment is not complicit

The official spokesperson for foreign affairs and security policy of the European Union, Anwar Anouni, stated that the annexation of the West Bank is a violation of international law and undermines the two-state solution.

He clarified during his meeting with a Palestinian media delegation today, Tuesday, at the European Commission headquarters in the Belgian capital, Brussels, "We are closely monitoring what is happening in the West Bank regarding violations by settlers, colonial construction, land control, and home demolitions."

He added that "what is happening in the West Bank is unacceptable and catastrophic, and it undermines the two-state solution. The issue of annexing the West Bank is a violation of international law, and the withholding of tax revenues constitutes a collapse of the services provided by the Palestinian Authority."

He emphasized the necessity of releasing tax revenues to empower the authority and enable it to continue, confirming that the European Union has approved packages of aid and plays an important role as the largest supporter in many areas.

Anouni explained that the Union has proposed several punitive measures to address settler violence, confirming that sanctions have been imposed on nine settlers and five "settler entities," three of which were in April 2024 and two in July of last year.

A Palestinian official said on Tuesday that Israel intends to seize 4,600 dunams of land from the towns of Sebastia and Burqa in the Nablus governorate in northern West Bank, claiming to protect archaeological sites.

This was stated in a statement by the head of the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Muayyad Shaaban. Shaaban said that "the occupation authorities intend to seize 4,600 dunams of land from the towns of Sebastia and Burqa north of Nablus."

He clarified that the decision "targets the land on which an archaeological area is located." The archaeological area in the town of Sebastia dates back, according to data from the Palestinian Ministry of Tourism, to the Bronze Age (3200 BC).

The UN Security Council voted with a majority of 13 votes in favor, while Russia and China abstained, on Resolution 2803, which imposes a new transitional framework on the Gaza Strip under the name 'Peace Council' led personally by US President Donald Trump.

Trump announced via social media: 'Congratulations to the world on the amazing vote by the UN Security Council, which recognizes and supports the Peace Council that I will lead, consisting of the strongest and most respected leaders around the world.'

For his part, Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya stated during the voting session that the resolution 'recalls colonial practices and the League of Nations and the British mandate over Palestine, when the opinions of the Palestinians themselves were not taken into account.'

Nebenzya added: 'The resolution lacks any clarity regarding the timelines for transferring control of Gaza to the Palestinian Authority, and any certainty surrounding the Peace Council and the international force, which according to the text of the resolution, can operate completely independently, without any regard for the position or opinion of Ramallah.'

Resolution 2803 essentially establishes a clear military mechanism based on creating an international stabilization force tasked with disarming the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas and other armed Palestinian factions.

US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz clarified in his speech following the vote that this force will work alongside Israeli security forces to stabilize the security situation in Gaza, support the disarmament process, dismantle Hamas's infrastructure, and halt the operation of weapons, while ensuring the safety of Palestinian civilians.

The mission assigned to the international force clearly indicates its actual objectives, as a research document issued by the Israeli National Security Studies Institute (INSS) earlier this month revealed the nature of the expected role of this force, stating that 'from Israel's perspective, the international force should be granted executive powers that allow it to ensure the disarmament of Hamas and other armed factions, in line with Trump's disarmament plan for the sector.'

The document added that 'Israel's strategic objectives, which include ending Hamas's rule in Gaza and destroying its military capabilities and those of other factions, remain in place even after the war ends, and thus Israel considers disarming these organizations and preventing their rearmament as central objectives.'

The resolution states that it is a step towards 'more sustainable peace,' but in reality, it conditions the disarmament of Palestinian resistance as a prerequisite for any progress, which is the primary Israeli goal that Tel Aviv has failed to achieve militarily despite a war lasting over two years.

The Washington Post reported in its analysis that 'the US-sponsored resolution enshrines the complete plan in international law and establishes a vaguely defined Peace Council, headed by Trump.'

In contrast, Hamas and the Palestinian factions categorically rejected the resolution, with Anadolu Agency reporting a joint statement from the Palestinian factions rejecting it, stating, 'Any clause that includes disarmament in Gaza or any infringement on the internationally recognized right of the Palestinian people to resist the Israeli occupation.'

The statement added that 'any discussion related to weapons must remain a purely national issue linked to a political process that leads to ending the Israeli occupation and establishing a Palestinian state.'

Reuters reported Hamas stating that the resolution imposes 'international guardianship' over Gaza, warning that 'any foreign military presence or guardianship or international bases inside Gaza' represents 'a direct assault on Palestinian sovereignty.'

Following his recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, President Donald Trump's assumption of the presidency of the 'Peace Council' is one of the most controversial topics related to the resolution, given his previous role in sensitive issues such as recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, moving the US embassy there, and proposing the 'Deal of the Century,' which was completely rejected by the Palestinians.

US Ambassador Mike Waltz confirmed this direction, stating that 'the Peace Council, which will be led by President Trump, remains the cornerstone of our efforts.'

For his part, Chinese Ambassador to the UN Fu Cong described the resolution as 'vague and unclear in many critical elements,' saying: 'The draft resolution outlines post-war governance arrangements for Gaza, but Palestine seems barely visible in it, and Palestinian sovereignty and ownership are not fully reflected.'

Politician Osama Rushdi posted on X platform, considering the US resolution in the Security Council regarding Gaza as 'a new trap' aimed at rearranging the course of the war to serve Washington and Tel Aviv.

He stated that the resolution is written in a 'Zionist-American' spirit, leaving the occupation to interpret its clauses, reproducing a freeze of the war without ending it, and paving the way for imposing post-war arrangements at the expense of the Palestinians, including entrenching the division of Gaza and controlling

The Israeli army announced on Tuesday the killing of two Palestinians in southern Gaza Strip, claiming they attempted to cross the "yellow line" and approach its forces.

The army stated in a statement that it killed the Palestinians on the grounds of "posing a direct threat," a justification that Tel Aviv repeats in most of its violations of the ceasefire agreement.

The Gaza agreement came into effect on October 10, under Egyptian, Qatari, American, and Turkish mediation, amid ongoing Israeli violations and its obstruction of the transition to the second phase of the agreement.

The United Nations, through the Security Council and with the support of Arab countries, is reviving the mandate system by adopting a U.S. draft resolution that establishes a peace council to manage the Gaza Strip, which has armed enforcement powers within the framework of the peace council's authorities.

The goal of this peace council, with its armed force, is to disarm the resistance and destroy its infrastructure, which it refers to as terrorist structures, and to organize a long-term Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip; according to Israeli approval of the level of systematic destruction of the resistance in Gaza.

The resolution imposes a mandate over the entire Palestinian Authority territory, not just Gaza, as it links the resumption of any political process to the reforms required from the Authority, making this resumption uncertain according to the wording of the resolution.

The U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, described the United Nations Security Council's decision to adopt President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza as a 'historic milestone' in the path to building a peaceful and prosperous future for the region.

He emphasized that the new vision is based on Gaza being 'governed by the Palestinian people, not Hamas.'

Rubio's statements came after the Security Council voted, shortly after midnight on Monday to Tuesday, in favor of the U.S. resolution supporting Trump's plan.

The plan includes key provisions such as 'a ceasefire, the deployment of an international force, and a pathway that could lead to a Palestinian state.'

In a post on the 'X' platform, Rubio stated: 'President Trump is pushing for real and tangible change in the region.'

The Secretary added that 'with this vote, we are closer than ever to achieving a demilitarized, extremism-free, and stable Gaza.'

For his part, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, in his speech, considered the decision to be 'another important step towards a stable Gaza that can thrive.'

He pointed out that this stability will provide 'an environment that allows Israel to live securely.'

Waltz highlighted the executive mechanism of the plan, noting that 'the Peace Council, to be led by President Donald Trump, remains the cornerstone of our efforts.'

The U.S. Ambassador explained that the council's tasks will focus on 'coordinating the delivery of humanitarian aid and facilitating the development of Gaza.'

The council will also support 'the formation of a technocratic committee of Palestinians to handle the daily operations of civil services and administration' in the region.

He confirmed that this arrangement will continue 'while the Palestinian Authority fully implements its reform programs.'

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid attacked Benjamin Netanyahu's government on Tuesday, saying it is "the most extreme" and that it accepted the Security Council's decision regarding the Gaza Strip under American pressure, abandoning the annexation of the occupied West Bank.

This came according to a post Lapid published on the American platform "X," commenting on the Security Council's decision to establish a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, according to the plan of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Netanyahu, along with National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, has repeatedly spoken about Israel's intention to annex the West Bank and impose sovereignty over it, which has been met with widespread regional condemnation.

On September 26, President Trump stated in press remarks that he would not allow Israel to annex the West Bank.

Lapid said: "Under American pressure, Netanyahu announced this morning his acceptance of the Security Council's decision that includes the principle of unifying the arenas."

He added: "For years, Netanyahu tried to separate Gaza from the West Bank; this was a grave strategic mistake, and it is good that the Americans have put an end to it."

He pointed out that "the most extreme right-wing government in the country's history is officially abandoning annexation and defining principles for cooperation with the Palestinian Authority," without further clarification.

Earlier today, Netanyahu's office avoided commenting on the Security Council's decision, merely praising Trump, according to a statement issued by it.

The UN resolution, numbered 2803, welcomed the U.S. president's 20-point plan to end the conflict in Gaza, issued on September 29, 2025, according to the "United Nations" website.

Washington proposed the resolution to deploy a multinational force in Gaza, amid a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas that has been in effect since October 10, but Israel has repeatedly violated it, resulting in casualties among Palestinian civilians.

The agreement halted a genocide that Israel initiated in Gaza on October 8, 2023, with American support, which lasted for two years, leaving more than 69,000 Palestinian dead, over 170,000 injured, and massive destruction affecting 90 percent of civilian infrastructure.

The Hamas movement announced on Tuesday its firm rejection of the American draft resolution adopted by the United Nations Security Council regarding the Gaza Strip.

The movement stated in a statement that this resolution "legitimizes international guardianship over the Strip and separates it from the rest of the homeland," affirming that this matter "is rejected by all Palestinian national factions."

The movement pointed out that the American draft "seeks to achieve the goals that the occupation has been unable to implement through its ongoing criminal war against the Palestinian people."

The statement emphasized that "the people's right to resist the occupation is an inherent right guaranteed by international charters," considering that "the weapon of resistance belongs to the people."

The movement warned that the establishment of any international force tasked with disarming this weapon "means siding with the Zionist enemy and implementing its vision."

Hamas confirmed its rejection of any foreign entity managing the affairs of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, considering that "this consolidates the confiscation of the people's right to self-determination and is a blatant violation of international law."

It also expressed its rejection of "turning the humanitarian aid and reconstruction file into a tool for political pressure and blackmail," in light of the humanitarian disaster created by the occupation.

The movement called on the international community to respond to humanitarian needs, open crossings, and break the siege imposed on the Strip.

Israeli occupation aircraft launched airstrikes and continued demolishing buildings behind the yellow line in the eastern and southern Gaza Strip. This came a day after the martyrdom of Palestinians and the injury of others in Israeli airstrikes on the strip.

A medical source reported the martyrdom of a child due to fire from an Israeli drone in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood east of Gaza City. An Israeli drone also targeted a group of Palestinians in the same neighborhood, resulting in the injury of two citizens.

In Khan Younis in the southern strip, occupation aircraft carried out airstrikes behind the yellow line east of the city amid intense drone activity in the area. In the northern strip, a Palestinian was martyred and others were injured by fire from an Israeli drone in the Al-Attatra area in Beit Lahiya.
