On Thursday, June 11, 3 Palestinians, including a woman, were injured as a result of Israeli attacks in the northern Gaza Strip.
A Palestinian medical source reported that a woman with serious injuries arrived at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, following Israeli gunfire in the Al-Atatra area, west of the town of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip.
Two moderately injured people also arrived at the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, following the explosion of an Israeli drone near civilians on Keshko Street in the Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of the city, according to a medical source and eyewitnesses to Anatolia.
Since the start of Israel's war of annihilation on the Gaza Strip on October 8, 2023, some 73,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 173,000 injured, in addition to extensive destruction of 90 percent of the civilian infrastructure in the Strip.
Israeli targeting of areas east of Khan Yunis
In a related context, local sources reported that Israeli artillery shelled areas east of the city of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, while Israeli gunboats targeted the city's coast west with shells and gunfire.
In the central Gaza Strip, Israeli vehicles fired machine guns at areas east of Al-Maghazi refugee camp, without reporting any injuries.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are living in tents and temporary shelters across the Gaza Strip after the Israeli genocide destroyed or severely damaged their homes, forcing them to frequently displace and seek refuge in camps that lack the most basic necessities of life and basic services.
Arrest Campaign in the West Bank
Last night and early on Thursday, the Israeli occupation forces carried out a campaign of raids and arrests in a number of cities and towns in the occupied West Bank.
Local and field sources reported that the campaign affected at least 8 citizens after their homes were stormed and their contents were vandalized.
The occupation forces also arrested three citizens from the town of Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah: Amer Saeed Maadi, Ahmed Khazneh, and his son Musab.
In Al-Fawwar camp, south of Hebron, the forces stormed the camp last night and arrested four citizens: Yazan Walid Al-Najjar, Muhammad Walid Al-Najjar, Tamer Saeed Al-Najjar, and Ayham Judeh, while the arrests affected the young Thaer Mahmoud Jumaa after searching his house in the town of Flamiyah in the Qalqilya district.
Confiscation of land in Tulkarm and Salfit
The Israeli occupation authorities notified the village council in the town of Shufa in Tulkarm governorate of seizing large areas of land in the villages of Shufa and Kafr al-Labad under the pretext of military purposes.
The new military orders targeted the grabbing of a total of 29,973 dunums of land threatened with the expansion of a colonial outpost belonging to the Avnei Hefetz settlement, which has been established since 1987.
Israeli bulldozers continued to bulldoze and uproot hundreds of olive trees on the outskirts of the village of Marda, north of Salfit, to make way for a settlement road known as "Trans-Samaria".
The head of the village council of Marda, Sadiq al-Khafsh, told Anadolu Agency that two-thirds of the village's land has been confiscated, describing the village as a "big prison", and farmer Jalal al-Khafsh confirmed to the same agency that more than 120 olive trees "older than the occupation itself" have been uprooted in favor of settlement infrastructure projects for which the Israeli government has recently allocated more than one billion shekels (about $270 million), according to the Israeli newspaper "Haaretz".
In a related context, the Israeli occupation forces released 10 prisoners from the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom crossing. The released prisoners were transferred directly to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah to receive the necessary treatment, accompanied by staff and supervision from the International Red Cross.
United Nations Report
The United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) said that the Israeli occupation forces are directly involved in the violence and displacement operations committed by the colonizers against Palestinians in the West Bank. In its official report, the Committee noted that civilians are systematically and deliberately subjected to serious human rights violations.
The committee stressed that the violence of the colonizers serves as a tool to implement the Israeli state's strategy of annexation of the territories. The chairman of the committee, Srinivasan Muralidhar, stated that this violence is a direct result of Israeli policies that protect its perpetrators, pointing out that the report will be formally presented during the 62nd session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, which will be launched on June 15 in Geneva, Switzerland.
Israeli rejection of Netanyahu
A recent poll conducted by the Israel Democracy Institute (a private foundation) showed that 61% of Israelis reject the candidacy of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 76, in the upcoming Knesset elections.
The poll, whose results were published on Wednesday, showed that the rejection rate reached 57% among Jews, while it jumped to 83% among Palestinians inside the country, at a time when Netanyahu is on trial on corruption charges and is wanted to appear before the International Criminal Court since 2024 on charges of committing war crimes in Gaza.
The same poll revealed a sharp decline in the percentage of Israelis who believe that Israel's security is a top priority for US President Donald Trump, as the percentage fell from 64% last March to 41% this June.
This decline comes in light of the current truce and the ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran since April 8 to end the military tensions that followed the February war, where 56% of the respondents expressed their belief that any future agreement could include preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons, while 57.5% of them believed that ending the war with Iran in the current circumstances is not compatible with Israel's security interests.
