At least 1 martyred
**On February 11**, Isreali forces raided Sa’ir near al-Khalil in the southern West Bank. They fired several young people, killing one and injured 3. ## A filmed summary execution - A Palestinian young man, 19-year-old Abdullah Murad Hussein Al-Faroukh, was killed when walking in the street. The moment of his summary execution was filmed. ### 3 others were injured by Israeli gunfire : - Earlier, the Palestinian Red Crescent reported that a young man was seriously injured by live bullets in the chest. - The Red Crescent also said that another young man was shot and injured in the abdomen and limbs - Another young man was shot in the abdomen and was transferred to the hospital for treatment, the source added. ### Targeting and injuring children in their home -**Jannat Faisal Sabri Mutawar**, a 8-year-old Palestinian girl, was seriously injured in the eyes and face after Israeli occupation forces opened fire on her house in Sa'ir around 5 p.m. According to Wafa, she was injured by bullet shrapnel in her eyes and face while she was hugging her little brother Muhammad (3 years old) in order to protect him, while Israeli soldiers were tagerting them through the windows of their home. According to her father, Faisal Al-Mutwar : *“Jannat is my eldest child and has two siblings. They were all inside the house when the tragedy began. Her younger brother, Mohammed, was standing on the bed in the bedroom, facing a window overlooking the courtyard of the house, as the occupation forces stormed the area. **Jannat rushed to her brother to protect him and move him away from the window after she saw one of the occupation soldiers pointing his rifle at him.** She was able to get him down, and as soon as she completed the mission and raised her head, a bullet fired by that soldier penetrated the window glass into the bedroom, hitting her scalp. The bullet exploded, and its fragments mixed with the shattered glass from the window, a large portion of which landed in the girl's eyes and face. At the sound of gunfire and screaming, Jannat’s mother rushed to the room. Jannat had closed her eyes, her face covered in blood, screaming and shouting. So I quickly carried her outside, **but the occupation soldiers deployed around the house and firing bullets at the citizens prevented her from leaving in search of help**. **Jannat remained bleeding until one of her uncles was able to reach her and transport her to Al-Mezan Hospital, after having traveled a long distance and taken alternative routes due to an occupation forces checkpoint that completely closed the entrance to the town, preventing citizens from moving**.”* Her family rushed her to Alia Governmental Hospital before she was transferred with severe eye injuries caused by bullet and glass fragments to Al-Mizan Specialized Hospital in Hebron for emergency treatment. Her vision is nearly lost, requiring multiple surgeries. Doctors removed shrapnel from her right eye, slightly improving her vision, but significant damage remains. Her left eye has little to no chance of recovery. Psychologically, Janat is deeply traumatized, suffering from severe shock, panic attacks, and nightmares where she envisions being hunted by monsters—symbols of the soldiers who harmed her. Her case reflects the ongoing suffering of Palestinians amid the aggression in Gaza. ![](https://media.alalam.ir/uploads/855x495/2025/02/16/173970952184137900.jpg) *Jannat Faisal Sabri Mutawar* Similar attacks were also reported in the Al-Shuyukh town, adjacent to Sa’ir, after being stormed by the IDF troops. A bulldozer and a sawmill were also confiscated during the raid.

Demolition and eviction in Deir Ibzi

West Bank, Ramallah, Deir Ibzi 11 February, 2025
**On February 11, 2025,** 10 Israeli military vehicles, accompanied by two bulldozers, stormed the village of Deir Ibzi', west of Ramallah, on the morning, and demolished a two-story house under the pretext that it was built without a permit. - The targeted house is owned by local resident Ihab Al-Sa'afin, and that 16 people live in it. - Its area is 200 square meters. **Context :** Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Deir Ibzi has been under Israeli occupation. The population in the 1967 census conducted by the Israeli authorities was 536, 34 of whom originated from the Israeli territory. After the 1995 accords, 27% of village land was classified as Area B, the remaining 73% as Area C. Israel has confiscated land from Deir Ibzi for bypass roads, in addition to 22 dunams taken for the Israeli settlement of Dolev.This included spring Ein Bubin, now used by the Israeli settlers in Dolev for their own irrigation projects. The report of the *'Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission'* stated that the occupation authorities carried out 76 demolition operations last January, affecting 126 facilities, including 74 inhabited homes, 4 uninhabited ones, and 29 agricultural and other facilities. They were concentrated in the Jenin governorates, with the demolition of 47 facilities, then the Jerusalem governorate with 14 facilities, Qalqilya with 11, and Bethlehem and Nablus with 10 facilities each.

Demolition and eviction in Khirbet al-Daba (Masafer Yatta)

West Bank, Masafer Yatta, Khirbet al-Daba 10 February, 2025
**On Monday February 10**, Israeli authorities demolished 11 buildings in the Masafer Yatta region, in the southern Hebron Hills, in occupied West Bank, particularly in the village of Khalet al-Daba, with additional demolitions in Maghayir al-Abeed and Jinaba. According to Palestinian and Israeli activits (Breaking the Silence, resident and film director Basel Adra, Peace Now, Masafering), **the forcible transfer of Palestinians out of Area C continues.** - It's an extensive and unprecedented demolitions covering three villages in Masafer Yatta as described by regional council leader Nidal Younis. - The demolished structures included houses, caves, a tent, and infrastructure (including water and electricity systems), some of which were funded by foreign countries. **Testimony of Basel Adra** @basel_adra (Co-Author of "No Other Land" awarded documentary) *"I am surrounded by many armed soldiers and three large bulldozers. They have invaded the village of Khirbet al-Daba in Masafer Yatta, forcibly evicting families from their homes in this freezing cold. So far, three homes have been demolished, and the destruction is still ongoing." ![](https://peacenow.org.il/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Map-of-outposts-in-918-ENG-1536x1086.jpeg) **Legal and Political Context:** The demolitions come after a decades-long legal battle, which ended in May 2022 with the High Court of Justice authorizing the state to demolish all the villages in Firing Zone 918 in the Yatta area and expel their residents. While Palestinians are having their homes demolished in the Firing Zone, settlers are building more and more outposts (with direct and indirect assistance from the state). - The demolitions follow a ruling from Israel's High Court of Justice in 2022 that allowed the destruction of villages in the South Hebron Hills to create a military firing zone. - The ruling was in response to a petition from residents of eight villages located in the designated firing zone, which was established in 1981. - Since the court ruling, the residents' lawyers have filed several requests to exempt certain buildings, but those requests have been rejected faster in recent months, raising fears of imminent expulsion. - In December 2024, a request to exempt a school and clinic in the village of Khirbet al-Fakheit from demolition was rejected. The state has committed to giving advance notice of demolitions, but this commitment is now being questioned in light of ongoing demolitions. **Statements from Legal and Political Figures:** - Attorney Michael Sfard filed a petition to prevent the demolition of an electrical grid in the area. - Regavim, a far-right group, supported the demolitions, calling them a step toward restoring governance. - Military Justification: The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories stated the demolitions were carried out in accordance with the law, as the structures were built without necessary permits in a military firing zone. - Peace Now: *The demolitions in Masafer Yatta are part of a governmental plan to forcefully deport the Palestinians from their homes and lands and to settle it with Israelis. For years the State claimed in court that the demolitions are necessary because in a firing zone no civilian presence is allowed. Now it is becoming clear that the State has no problem with civilian presence, as long as it is of Israeli-settlers and not of Palestinians.*

The Israeli did not warn the building's residents to evacuate before booby-trapping its entrance. According to Avihai Stollar @AvihaiStollar (Breaking the silence) on his X account on February 25, the weapon used was a "Zikit breaching system—modular explosive segments that are used to blast open walls or doors. On Feb 9, Rahaf Fouad Abdullah al-Ashqar was killed in Nur Shams camp when soldiers detonated a charge to break into her home". **C) Eyas Al Akhras** This young Palestinian was killed during gunfire exchange with the Israeli occupation forces. **Injuries:** -PRCS stated that its teams in Tulkarem received a 14-year-old child who was injured by the military’s gunfire in Nur Shams, as well as the child’s father, who sustained a gunshot wound to the foot. **Engagement rules modified in IDF** According to Haaretz, in an article published on February 10, *the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Central Command has reportedly expanded its open-fire orders in the West Bank, leading to a high number of Palestinian civilian deaths*, according to Israeli army sources. The IDF has denied any official change, claiming that senior officers in the Central Command implemented new tactics. The expanded orders allow soldiers to shoot anyone suspected of planting explosives, leading to increased use of lethal force. These orders have reportedly made soldiers "trigger-happy" and resulted in these tragic incidents, including the deaths of a pregnant woman and a child, as well as other civilians. Critics argue that these new rules resemble tactics used in Gaza, contributing to heightened violence in the West Bank. The IDF maintains that its actions are targeted at combatants, but many of the casualties have been non-combatants. Investigations into these deaths are ongoing.
