West Bank, Jenin 08 September, 2025
At least 2 martyred
On September 8, a group of Palestinians from the Jenin refugee camp attempted to return to their homes, which are currently occupied by Israeli forces. Soldiers opened fire on them. Israeli troops surrounded a group of citizens in Al-Bishr neighborhood as they tried to reach their homes to check on them and collect personal belongings. Soldiers fired live bullets at the group, killing a child and seriously injuring two young men. A girl was also hurt after falling while being chased by soldiers. The soldiers arrested several citizens and took them to a military barracks inside the camp. They also set fire to a house while firing heavily in the area. Israeli forces shot and killed 14-year-old Islam Abdel Aziz Noah Majarmah, while at least two others were critically wounded and several more arrested at gunpoint. In total, four injuries were recorded: one in serious condition and another moderate. The Palestine Red Crescent Society confirmed that a 12-year-old girl suffered a hand injury while being chased, and a 17-year-old boy was shot in the shoulder at the entrance to the camp. Both were taken to hospital. The Red Crescent also treated a 22-year-old man who was shot in the abdomen inside the camp. Later, Wissam Bakr, director of Jenin Governmental Hospital, confirmed the death of a second child: 14-year-old Mohammad Sari Omar Masqala (Alawneh), who succumbed to his wounds after being shot near the entrance of camp. **Names of the young martyrs:** 1. Islam Abdulaziz Nouh Majarmah (14) 2. Muhammad Sari Omar Masqala “Alawneh” (14) **Report of Defense for Children - Palestine** "Islam Abdulaziz Nouh Majarmah and Mohammad Seri Omar Masqala, both 14 years old, were shot and killed by Israeli forces in separate but related incidents in the early evening of September 8 outside of Jenin refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank, according to documentation collected by Defense for Children International - Palestine. Both boys were killed near Jenin Governmental Hospital, close to the entrance of Jenin refugee camp, which has been under Israeli military siege since January 21, 2025, during which Israeli forces have forcibly displaced all residents of the camp. “Islam and Mohammad were targeted by Israeli forces with lethal force when they posed no threat at all to the soldiers carrying out military operations in their community,” said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, accountability program director at DCIP. “Israeli forces have repeatedly targeted Jenin and Jenin refugee camp, including a siege that has continued since January, with complete impunity.” Islam went to Jenin refugee camp with his parents and siblings to check on their home, which had been destroyed by Israeli forces since Israeli military operations forcibly displaced all Palestinian residents of Jenin refugee camp during a large-scale operation that began on January 21. On their way back to Qabatiya around 5:45 p.m., where the family has been staying since their displacement, an Israeli military vehicle approached them at a high speed. Soldiers exited the vehicle, then opened fire toward the family from a distance of 40 to 50 meters (131 to 164 feet) away, striking Islam in the back with a bullet that exited through the left side of his chest. Islam’s uncle carried him to Jenin Governmental Hospital, located just a few meters away, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Mohammad, a resident of the city of Jenin, was shot by Israeli forces around 6:30 p.m. on September 8 while standing near the earthen barrier at the main entrance to Jenin refugee camp, according to documentation collected by DCIP. Mohammad sustained two gunshot wounds, one to his left hand and a second that entered his right side and exited under his right armpit. The shots were fired from a distance of about 50 to 70 meters (164 to 230 feet) away by soldiers concealed behind the earthen barrier. Mohammad was rushed into surgery at Jenin Governmental Hospital, but he was declared dead at 7 p.m. **Context:** These killings came hours after a Palestinian shooting attack earlier in the day at a bus stop in occupied East Jerusalem, which killed six Israelis and injured 15. In response, the Israeli army expanded operations across the West Bank, imposing lockdowns, setting up checkpoints, and carrying out house raids and arrests in Ramallah, Jerusalem, Jenin, Qabatiya, Tulkarm, and Bethlehem. In Biddu, soldiers used live fire and sound grenades during raids, though no injuries were reported. With the killing of these two children, the death toll in Jenin Governorate has risen to 47 martyrs since the start of the Israeli occupation’s aggression against the city and its camp on January 21, an offensive that has also struck surrounding towns and villages. Israeli forces have killed 40 Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank in 2025, including 14 children from Jenin, according to documentation collected by DCIP.

The soldiers stopped one of the vehicles, took the driver out and shot him. The scene was filmed by drivers in the queue. **Israeli media and IDF spin:** Israeli Channel 14 said that a Palestinian endangered soldiers when he was driving a speeding vehicle and threw a suspicious object at them, which prompted them to shoot him, according to the channel. In a statement, the occupation army claimed that Shahada hurled a *“suspicious object”* at its soldiers, prompting them to heavily open fire at him, killing him. The statement added that Shahada* “did not comply with the orders of the forces, who began implementing procedures to arrest a suspect, which included opening fire to remove the threat, resulting in his death.”* **Other testimonies** Amid Ahmed, the director of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) emergency and ambulance center in Nablus, reported that its ambulance crews responded to the scene, while Israeli soldiers prevented them from reaching the injured man. Quds Press reported that Israeli soldiers shot Shahada with live ammunition and proceeded to confiscate his body, denying him medical treatment. According to whitnessess, the alleged ‘dangerous object’ was in fact an air freshener spray that the man had in his hand. The body of Ahmed Shehadeh was returned to his family, and the funeral took place in the evening. No prosecution or investigation has been announced by Isreali army or authorities, and the defamation of the victim has not been corrected. **The martyr name:** - Ahmed Abdel Fattah Shehadeh (57 years old) from the town of Urif in Nablus Governorate

Bloody raid on Ramallah

West Bank, Ramallah 26 August, 2025
On August 26, 2025, Israeli forces carried out a large-scale raid in Ramallah. It began with a sudden incursion by a Mist’arvim unit, which triggered panic among civilians. When armored vehicles stormed the heart of the town, firing tear gas canisters, stun grenades, and live bullets, young Palestinians responded by throwing stones. The raid lasted 3.5 hours before the forces withdrew. **Timeline of Events:** Around 12:00 p.m. local time, Israeli armored vehicles entered the center of Ramallah during peak daytime hours. Forces immediately began firing live ammunition, stun grenades, and tear gas canisters into the crowded city center. Civilians were present in cafés, markets, and businesses at the time. Israeli soldiers broke into a major money exchange business (Ajjouli) in the heart of Ramallah and according to local sources, they stole nearly one million shekels (approximately $270,000 USD); and the Arab Bank headquarters in Manara Square. Eyewitnesses reported soldiers taking sniper positions on rooftops, with one soldier perched above the Arab Bank aiming into the square. Armored vehicles blocked the central streets, cutting off access. Tensions reamin high as dozens of Israeli occupation soldiers break into the Al-Manara Square in downtown Ramallah, sparking confrontations with residents. Forces went very close to Al-Muqata'a, the headquarters of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Café patrons saw armored vehicles outside the Arab Bank, soldiers stationed by entrances, and rifles trained on civilians in the square. **Dozens of Palestinians were injured:** 8 by live bullets. 14 by rubber-coated bullets including a 71-year-old man 5 by shrapnel: One student trapped in a cosmetics store with 12 others (men, women, children) described panic, explosions, and shared scarce food (dates). An elderly woman inside remarked: “May God help the people in Gaza,” linking their suffering to the famine in Gaza. Another 31 Palestinians suffered tear gas inhalation, including two pregnant women: Tear gas and stun grenades were fired into local businesses, including a barber shop, a popular coffee shop, the vegetable market, several storefronts,... Witnesses inside shops reported suffocating from gas even after doors and windows were shut.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported their ambulances were blocked from reaching at least one injured person. Al Jazeera speaks about 58 Palestinians wounded by Israeli army raid including a child. **Aftermath:** Israeli troops were seen arresting several men, including two elderly ones. **Palestinian authorities statement:** The Palestinian Authority has strongly condemned the Israeli military's raid on Ramallah on August 26, 2025, describing it as a "dangerous escalation" and "acts of aggression" against the Palestinian people. The Presidency held the Israeli government fully responsible for the violence and destruction, urging the United States to intervene and halt these actions in the occupied West Bank. The Presidency emphasized that such attacks aim to force Palestinians from their land and displace them, warning that the situation could lead to a major explosion in the region. The Palestinian leadership reiterated that Palestinians will not leave their land or relinquish their holy sites, calling for international action to end these Israeli practices and prevent further escalation. Local officials, condemned the raid and Leila Ghannam, Ramallah governor, called it “organized state terrorism.”. She tried to stop the Israeli soldiers by standing in their way peacefully. But in vain. **IDF spokesman spin:** The IDF presented the Ramallah raid as a counter-terrorism operation targeting a money exchange business allegedly funneling funds to Hamas, under the broader Operation Iron Wall launched in January 2025. They claimed to have confiscated “hundreds of thousands of shekels” and arrested five suspects, framing the strike as part of a campaign to degrade Palestinian terrorist infrastructure. The IDF emphasized that such operations have led to an 85% reduction in terrorist attacks in 2025 and vowed to continue targeting financial networks and operational capabilities of West Bank militant groups. **Broader Context: ** Ramallah and al-Bireh (twin cities) are officially classified as Area A under the Oslo Accords, meaning they should be under exclusive Palestinian Authority security control. Israeli forces raid more rarely this city than the northern camps in the West Bank after the Second Intifada ended (2006). In December 2023: They launched a large raid, killed a 23-year-old and confiscated $2.8M from money exchanges. In May 2024, they raided the city, fired tear gas fired into the vegetable market, causing a fire that destroyed 80+ businesses.

Nasser hospital double-tap massacre

Gaza, Khan Younis, Nasser Medical Complex 25 August, 2025
At least 20 martyred
Around 10:10 am, an Israeli strike targeted the upper floors of the Al-Yasin buildings at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis where several journalists were gathered to access internet to perform their work. As rescue teams arrived at the scene around 10 minutes later, Israel struck them. The massacre led to the killing of 5 journalists who were important sources of documentation in Khan Younis, one doctor, one Civil Defense members, in addition to several others inside the hospital. Three other journalists were wounded, including Reuter's Hatem Omar, Jamal Badah who lost his right leg and sustained shrapnel throughout his whole body, and Mohammed Fayq who requires medical evacuation for treatment outside Gaza. In addition, at least 7 members of the Civil Defense were injured. **Israeli spin:** Israeli media sources reported that there was a camera on the hospital roof that Hamas used to film IDF troops. After initially deciding to carry out a drone airstrike, the IDF's artillery shelled the hospital twice. In stark contrast, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed the massacre was a "tragic mishap". This elicited outrage from the Golani Brigade who demanded an pology for misrepresenting their strongly coordinated assault auhtorized by their chain of command. **Investigation:** Invetsigative journalist Younis Tirawi uncovered that the IDF perpetrated the massacred after being informed by a an Israeli OSINT enthusiast named Rafael Hayun about his suspicion of a camera being installed on the 4th floor of the hospital. The Sayeret Golani unit received the information which was taken by IDF Lt. Col. Bar Veakart to order a tank from the 36th Division to shell the hospital twice. However, the suspicous object was in fact a camera apparently used by Reuters and other media teams for live broadcasts from Khan Younis. Younis found that Reuters had aired live coverage only four days prior from the exact spot. It was simply covered in white to protect the equipment from heat. Investigative journalist Aric Toler from the New York Times also confirmed that not only Reuters but also the Associate Press streamed from the same staircase location **Foreign medical staff warned:** American nurse Amanda Nasser who was volunteering at the hospital, as well as Dr. Mimy Sayed who previously volunteered multiple times in Gaza's hospitals both confirmed that international volunteers were **pulled out from the hospital by the WHO prior to the Israeli massacre to attend a mandatory training**. Given that the training was about gender-based violence, they deemed the timing to be peculiar noting this is training they would typically receive before their arrival, rather than in the latter half of their mission. Even volunteers whose mission was ending the next day were also pulled out to attend the same training. WHO pulled out foreign volunteers from Nasser hospital just before Israel's strike **Names of the martyrs: 1. Maryam Riyad Muhammad Abu Farhana "Abu Dagga" (journalist) 2.

Ethnic cleansing of the Khirbet Ein al-Hilweh

West Bank, Jordan Valley, Khirbet Ein al-Hilweh 21 August, 2025
Ein al-Hilweh is a small shepherding community in the northern Jordan Valley, east of the occupied West Bank, located near Route 90, below the Israeli settlement of Maskiot, in the Wadi Malha area, close to Tubas. Around 5 families (≈60 people) living mainly from sheep and cattle herding in an isolated environment. Area faces growing Israeli settlement expansion with illegal outposts, privatization of common grazing land, and declaration of “nature reserves” used to expropriate Palestinian land. Settlers erect fences and restrict Palestinian movement, often with backing from military forces. Residents, especially shepherds, experience harassment, threats, property damage, livestock theft, and restricted access to water and grazing land. **According to ACRI (Association for Civil rights in Israel)** "The residential area of the Ein al-Hilweh shepherding community in the northern Jordan Valley consists of five extended families, about 70 residents, who make their living from herding sheep and cattle. A number of years ago, settlers came to the area with the stated goal of expelling the community and taking over its lands and resources. For years Palestinian residents of the area dealt with harassment from the settlers, but since the outbreak of the war there has been a major escalation of settler violence. In some cases, they even act with the overt backing of the military—or those appearing to be military—and law enforcement that turns a blind eye to the violence. The grazing areas are sites of frequent violence, and Palestinians who go to the area are subject to threats, harassment, property damage. They are also often blocked from grazing, which has led to the gradual restriction of their access to grazing areas. Additionally, residents of the outpost settlement constantly (day and night) show up where the Palestinians live to steal sheep and cattle; damage water tanks and solar panels; make noise; drive recklessly on ATVs; and intimidate and threaten the men, women, and children of the community—sometimes while armed. Over the past two months the situation has become unbearable, and the community faces displacement." ### Timeline of the events: **On March 31, 2025:** Human rights organization ACRI (Association for Civil Rights in Israel) issued an appeal to Israeli authorities, warning of escalating settler violence—including harassment, property damage, and threats to livelihoods—targeting the Ein al-Hilweh shepherding community. They demanded protection and dismantling of nearby violent outposts. **On April 14, 2025:** Israeli settlers stormed Ein al-Hilweh after midnight, attempting to steal livestock. The theft was prevented by local residents and activists. **On May 23, 2025:** Settlers erected barbed-wire fences on privately owned Palestinian land in Ein al-Hilweh, cutting off access to grazing lands despite residents holding land deeds (“Tabu”). **On May 30, 2025:** Settlers expanded fencing operations, continuing a steady campaign of land appropriation. Local sources reported that the fencing was carried out near settler encampments, cutting off access to crucial grazing areas relied upon by Palestinian herding communities. **On June 30, 2025:** The UN OCHA reported that six Palestinian households (28 people, including nine children) began dismantling their own homes and livestock structures in Ein al-Hilweh due to repeated settler attacks and intimidation including restricted access to water sources and grazing areas. **On July 3, 2025:** Israeli occupation forces issued stop-work orders against all homes and livestock pens in the Ein al-Hilweh community of the northern Jordan Valley, giving residents until July 16 to comply under threat of demolition. The orders affect about 13 families, whose longstanding structures are now at risk, amid recent settler violence including tent raids, attempted livestock theft, and blocked access to grazing land. **On August 20, 2025:** Settlers placed Israeli flags near the tents and homes of Ein al-Hilweh residents in a provocative display amid ongoing displacement threats. **On Augustus 21, at 7 a.m**., soldiers and a representative of the Civil Administration arrived in Ein al-Hilweh, in the northern Jordan Valley, and used a bulldozer to demolish the entire compound — houses and a barn — belonging to the Kadri Darajma family, as well as the barn of the Fathi Darajma family, who have lived there for about 60 years. The soldiers refused to accept or even look at the demolition delay orders issued by the court, valid until 3 September 2025. **On Augustus 22, during the night**, a reservist jeep driver claimed to an Israeli Activist he didn’t want to harass Palestinians but followed orders, reflecting emotional turmoil after long service in Gaza. Later, the same unit detained an elderly Palestinian man, blindfolded and zip-tied him, then abandoned him at night 21 km from his home.

Settler violence on Duma and Shakara communities

West Bank, Nablus, Duma 20 Aug, 2025 - 31 Aug, 2025
Rashash Bedouins ethnically cleansed for the second time since October 7th Bedouin Palestinians community Rashash was expelled from its original location in the south Jordan Valley in late 2023. Now they have been expelled again, from their encampment near Duma (Nablus Governorate). The few remaining individuals, as well as Israeli and international human rights advocates are under continued assault from settlers. A 35-year-old Palestinian man, Thamin Khalil Reda Dawabsheh, was shot dead by Israeli settlers in an attack in Duma on Augustus 13, 2025. https://aje.io/r4fztl?update=3914545 On Augustus 15, Illegal Israeli settlers established a new settlement outpost only 400 meters from the Shakara Bedouin community, east of Duma town, south of Nablus city, according to Al-Baydar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights. On Augustus 17, Al-Baydar Organization noted that bulldozing work took place in the evening at the new outpost, which was established Friday. Meanwhile, illegal settlers pelted Palestinian vehicles with stones near the settlement of Shavei Shomron on the road linking Jenin and Nablus, causing damage to some cars, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported. Read: On Augustus 29, in the evening, a group of Israeli settlers has attacked a Bedouin gathering in the town of Duma in the occupied West Bank, about 25km (15.5 miles) southeast of Nablus, assaulting one man, smashing his phone and carrying out acts of vandalism, according to the Wafa news agency. On August 30th, according to the ONG Herd of Justice, "The settlers come 10-12 times per day, destroy property, attack people", says Adele Shoko, one of the activists. Along with two other activists, Adele was physically assaulted by the settlers on August 30th. Three settlers on an ATV surrounded her, stole her phone, pushed her to the ground and dragged her over the rocks with the ATV for several meters. After the attack, the settlers remained in the area, invading repeatedly every 20 minutes, further damaging the fence and water tanks. When the activists tried evacuating Adele to provide medical assistance, the settlers blocked the activist car with their ATV for half an hour. Occupation police and army were called six times, but refused to arrive on the scene. Later that day, another activist was choked, pushed and scratched by a settler. During the night, the settlers attacked once more, assaulting activists again. Multiple people were injured. The village of Duma itself is being surrounded by settler outposts, with the goal of launching further terror attacks against the community. Urgent coverage and international intervention is needed.
