Israel kills Palestinian in southern Gaza and blows up homes in Nablus, Ramallah and Qalqilya

A Palestinian was killed and others were injured, some of them seriously, on Tuesday, as a result of a raid carried out by an Israeli drone that targeted a gathering of citizens in the area of Mawasi, which is crowded with displaced people, west of the city of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

The Israeli naval forces also arrested seven Palestinian fishermen and destroyed their boats while they were practicing their work off the coast of the town of Al-Zawaydah in the central Gaza Strip, before taking them to an unknown destination.

The targeting of the Mawasi area, which was previously declared by the occupation as a "safe zone", comes within the framework of a continuous escalation to pursue the displaced people in the Gaza Strip.

The maritime piracy against fishermen coincides with a suffocating blockade imposed by the occupation along the western coast of Gaza since the beginning of the aggression, causing complete paralysis of the fishing sector that supports thousands of Palestinian families, and as part of a series of daily violations that include the firing of shells and the burning of boats to deepen the humanitarian crisis and famine.

Israeli occupation forces escalate  house demolitions and bombings in the West Bank

At dawn and Tuesday morning, Israeli military vehicles and bulldozers carried out demolitions and bombings on four residential houses in several governorates in the West Bank. In the town of Shuqba, west of Ramallah, bulldozers demolished two houses under construction with an area of 330 square meters, and demolished a three-storey house in the village of Jit, east of Qalqilya.

In the city of Nablus, the occupation forces blew up the house of the family of the prisoner Hatem Firas Al-Zagha, located behind the National Hospital, after it was surrounded for hours and the prisoner was forcibly taken to the site moments before it exploded, which led to a fire in the area.

According to Palestinian sources,  the demolition of Palestinian properties and the bombing of the homes of prisoners and martyrs fall within the policy of "collective punishment" and forced displacement pursued by the occupation to change the demographic reality, specifically in areas classified "C" under the pretext of building without a permit.

International human rights organizations assert that these practices constitute a flagrant violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention and are considered war crimes, which prohibit the destruction of the property of the population under occupation.

Jerusalem Governorate documents  the injury of 39 workers by Israeli gunfire

The Jerusalem Governorate issued an official statistical statement revealing that 39 Palestinian workers were injured by the occupation bullets near the apartheid wall in the town of Al-Ram, north of occupied Jerusalem, since the beginning of 2026, the most recent of whom was a worker from the town of Rummaneh who was injured in the feet last night.

The governorate  's statement explained that the perimeter of the separation wall has turned into a death trap, pointing out that two workers have been killed  by the occupation in the same area since the beginning of this year, namely the martyr Zakaria Qadis on May 12 and the martyr Imad Shtayyeh on May 31.

 Since October 7, 2023, the occupation has intensified the measures to prosecute Palestinian workers, as labor unions have documented the prosecution and arrest of more than 35,000 workers, and the killing of more than 52 workers while seeking to secure their livelihood.

The statement reports the growth of brokerage networks that exploit the need of workers through large sums of money to take dangerous bypass routes, which often end in arrest or injury by sniper bullets stationed along the wall.

The occupation forces launch a large-scale arrest campaign in the town of Madama

The Israeli occupation forces raided the town of Madama, south of Nablus, amid a heavy military deployment, and raided dozens of citizens' homes, causing severe material damage.

The ongoing campaign resulted in the arrest of at least 14 citizens, nine of whom were identified, while the occupation soldiers subjected dozens of young men to harsh field investigations inside their homes and in the open.

In a related context, military vehicles stormed the tourist area of Barak Suleiman, located between the town of Al-Khader and Artas, south of Bethlehem, and stationed at the three ponds, targeting hikers and citizens.

 The  town of Madama and the surrounding villages south of Nablus are witnessing almost daily incursions and intensive security restrictions due to its proximity to the settlements on Palestinian lands, where the occupation army resorts to the tactic of comprehensive "field investigation" as a tool to gather information and intimidate the popular incubator, in conjunction with the escalation of incursions into archaeological and tourist areas such as Suleiman's Bridges to impose a new security reality that paves the way for settlers' incursions.
