The genocidal State of Israel continues its campaign to steal the land from the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, as well as in the West Bank.
Israeli forces continue the airstrikes, artillery shelling, shootings and demolitions in the Gaza Strip. In the past 48 hours five Palestinians have been murdered and 18 have been injured. The Israeli criminal attacks have murdered at least 1,260 Palestinians since the ceasefire that took place in October 2025 and wounded more than 4,150. Since October 2023, the Israeli genocidal State has murdered more than 73,000 Palestinians and wounded over 174,000, according to Palestinian authorities.
Moreover the Israeli National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, said Israel should carry out “30 to 40 targeted assassinations per night” in Gaza. He also referred to the Palestinians as: “not even people”. He also encouraged further theft of land in the Gaza Strip. We reported on the use of the “Yellow Line” by Israel to annex and slowly steal the land from the Palestinians:
The State of Israel also attempts to apply its genocidal plans in the West Bank. The government is currently working on the new Gilo settlement project, which includes 2,300 settlement units in the south of Jerusalem. This new project aims to form a “belt” around Jerusalem, joining other settlements such as Givat Hamatos and Har Homa. As part of the criminal Israeli aggression, hundreds of Israeli soldiers and settlers are deployed in and around Qusra, south of Nablus, imposing a curfew as settlers continued to besiege Palestinian families, as part of the Israeli efforts to evict the inhabitants of these lands and steal them.
Over the past weekend Israeli soldiers and settlers attacked at least ten areas of the West Bank, storming Palestinian towns, homes and refugee camps on Saturday. The operations stretched across Bethlehem, Hebron (Al-Khalil), Qalqilya, Salfit, Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarm, Jericho, al-Bireh and occupied East Jerusalem. Israeli forces used live ammunition, tear gas, and sound grenades during several of the raids while storming and searching Palestinian homes, the Israelis also opened fire against a child, injuring him. According to estimations, there are around 750,000 settlers in 156 settlements and 360 outposts in the West Bank.
On Sunday, two Palestinians were shot and eight beaten during an Israeli settler attack in Hebron. Additionally Israeli soldiers attacked Ramallah, Nablus and Jenin. For days, Israeli settlers had positioned themselves around three Palestinian homes, besieged them and blocked roads leading to the properties. The settlers also cut access to water and electricity supplies for the families. Despite this siege, the Palestinian peasant families refused to leave their land.
The Israeli attacks continued on early Monday with new actions by the settlers in the West Bank. Additionally, nine Palestinians were arrested across Jenin, Tubas, Nablus, Ramallah and Hebron.
