The Director General of the Government Information Office in Gaza, Ismail Al-Thawabteh, announced that the Israeli occupation authorities have completely erased more than 2,700 Palestinian families from the civil registry, during the 1,000 days of the ongoing genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Al-Thawabta explained that the attacks resulted in the targeting of more than 40,000 families, while only one member survived in more than 12,000 other families, noting that the mass destruction affected more than 90% of the area of the Gaza Strip.
On the ground: Two Palestinians were killed and others were wounded in two raids carried out by Israeli drones last night, the first targeted the vicinity of the Asqola junction, east of Gaza City, while the second hit near the Abu Sharkh roundabout, west of Jabalia camp.
In the same context, the Israeli occupation army claimed on Sunday that field commanders from the military wing of Hamas were eliminated in strikes that it described as minute, claiming that its forces will continue to work to remove any immediate threats within their deployment under the ceasefire agreement in force since 2025.
The plan for the actual annexation and confiscation of West Bank land
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) National Bureau for Land Defense and Resistance to Settlements revealed in its weekly report issued on Sunday that the occupation authorities have intensified the use of military orders to accelerate plans for "de facto annexation" in the West Bank, as they have issued 114 military orders since October 8 , 2023, which led to the annexation of more than 25,000 dunums to the settlements' areas of influence. The report explained that these measures paved the way for the establishment of 53 new settlement sites (including 39 new settlements).
The data were based on a study by the Israeli organization "Bimkom", which confirmed the allocation of 2026 to settlement areas of influence on lands whose Palestinian communities were previously displaced, such as "Ein Samia" and "Al-Ma'arjat al-Wasat" to cut off their way back.
The report pointed out that the plans extended to areas classified "A", through a plan to control 100 strategic points and establish a military site inside the city of Jenin, indicating that the last three years witnessed the seizure of 70,000 dunums, and the classification of 27,000 dunums as "state lands" in the highest tally since the Oslo Accords.
Escalation of raids and settler attacks in the West Bank
At dawn on Sunday, groups of settlers burned down an entire restaurant located near the towns of Al-Laban al-Sharqiyah and Amoriya, south of Nablus, serving students at Al-Zaytouna University, after breaking its doors and stealing sums of money from it under the protection of the occupation army, in an attack whose losses were estimated at about one million shekels.
In the village of Um Safa, northwest of Ramallah, three citizens were wounded by rubber-coated metal bullets as residents confronted settlers who attacked the outskirts of the village and stole four sheep, amid local warnings of a real displacement project surrounding the town.
In Hebron, settlers attacked the vicinity of citizens' homes in the Shaab al-Batn area of Masafer Yatta, before the occupation forces intervened to arrest two brothers and take them to an unknown destination.
The residents of the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, also confronted a similar attack carried out by settlers and their livestock, a few days after the occupation confiscated 464.4 dunums of the town's land.
In terms of military raids, the occupation forces raided the city of Qalqilya from its eastern entrance and deployed on Al-Wad Street, in conjunction with the arrest of four citizens at dawn on Sunday after raiding their homes in the town of Burqa, northwest of Nablus.
The Release of Prisoner Maher Younis and Condemnation of the Crimes of Torture
Palestinian activist and freed prisoner Maher Abdel Latif Younis (68 years old) died at dawn on Sunday, as a result of a severe health illness that afflicted him, 3 and a half years after he gained his freedom in December 2023 after serving a full 40-year prison sentence since his arrest in 1983.
The prisoners' movement and prisoners' institutions described the late prisoner from the town of Ara, describing his struggle and obtaining his bachelor's degree from behind bars as a "school of patience and steadfastness" that summarizes the experience of an entire generation that carried the Palestinian dream.
In a related context, the Palestinian Prisoners' Club said in a statement issued on Sunday that the occupation regime continues to consolidate a systematic policy based on documenting and publishing scenes of torture and abuse against prisoners as a tool for public parade and humiliation, referring to the recently leaked photos of a detainee from Gaza who appeared naked and brutally tied.
The club stressed that the videos published by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir perpetuate the policy of impunity, and reiterated its call for the international community to intervene urgently after recording the deaths of more than 100 prisoners inside prisons since the start of the genocide, 90 of whom have been announced so far.
