The Organization of Islamic Cooperation's Media Observatory for Israeli Crimes against Palestinians reported that there were 460 martyrs and 1,939 wounded in just one week, from June 3 to June 9, 2025. From October 7, 2023, to June 9, 2025, the total number of martyrs reached 56,260, with 134,586 wounded. Many martyrs were killed while searching for aid, including over 111 Palestinians who lost their lives while looking for food. Additionally, 583 people were injured and nine are missing while seeking assistance. Most were killed by Israeli fire targeting various areas of Gaza, including tents for displaced persons and civilian homes.
Data from the United Nations indicates that rates of acute malnutrition among children in Gaza have tripled since the last ceasefire. UNICEF issued an appeal for an end to the war, emphasizing that using starvation as a "weapon" constitutes a war crime. This statement follows increasing references to the term "genocide" by Western officials. Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévost has stated that he personally believes the situation in Gaza amounts to genocide.
In a recent airstrike, three paramedics and a journalist were killed while recovering bodies in the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza. Israeli forces also bombed the Baptist Hospital, resulting in the deaths of four additional journalists, bringing the total number of journalists killed in the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip to 228.
The Observatory noted that occupation forces are intensifying pressure on the healthcare sector by doubling the number of wounded, exceeding the capacity of hospitals in the Gaza Strip to provide treatment due to restrictions and a lack of necessary equipment and resources. The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor confirmed that occupation forces have deliberately bombed hospitals in Gaza, using pretexts and falsehoods.
Occupation forces have also destroyed homes in the Qarara area of Khan Yunis and the Jabalia refugee camp as part of their displacement policy and arming Palestinian militias. Meanwhile, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has stated that the occupation government has a plan that includes imposing sovereignty over Area C, displacing the residents of Khan al-Ahmar, and disrupting the banking system. Additionally, occupation forces have notified the owners of 100 homes in the Jenin refugee camp of their impending demolition.
Al-Aqsa Mosque faces almost daily raids, with extremist settlers attempting to bring bloodied meat into the mosque for sacrifice, only to be stopped by Al-Aqsa guards. The occupation authorities continue to prohibit Muslims from entering the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron, refusing to hand over the mosque and its facilities to Muslims on the first day of Eid al-Adha, as they have done on Fridays and during Laylat al-Qadr in Ramadan, as well as Eid al-Fitr. Settlers attacked the Armenian Monastery in Al-Quds, spitting on the monastery, crosses, and holy symbols.
In the West Bank, the number of raids conducted by occupation forces in cities and towns reached 302, resulting in the arrest of 166 Palestinians. Tragically, they also killed a child in Ramallah and wounded two others in Nablus. During the same week, they raided the Al-Tahadi School in the village of Khirbet Ibziq, while settlers were present near the Nour al-Huda School on the outskirts of Beitunia in Ramallah.
In Al-Quds, Israeli occupation forces demolished four homes within a single week. They bulldozed agricultural land in Deir Jarir, Ramallah, confiscated two tractors in Beit Ummar, Hebron, three cars in Tuqu' and Hizma, and a motorcycle in Sinjil, Ramallah. The total number of Israeli crimes documented by the organization's observatory reached 3,172 during this period, with settlers responsible for approximately 63 of these incidents. Specifically, settler attacks totaled 55 across various villages, towns, and cities in the West Bank.
For instance, settlers attacked the outskirts of Deir Dibwan in Ramallah, burning three homes, a farm, cars, and horse and sheep pens. They trapped Palestinians inside their homes and prevented ambulances from reaching the area. Additionally, they grazed livestock in Al-Mughayyir, Ramallah, and cut down tree branches in the village. There were also instances of settlers grazing animals in Bardala, Tubas, and Susya, Hebron. In Kafr Malik, they cut down branches from 30 olive trees and damaged 70 olive seedlings in Al-Mughayyir and Khirbet Abu Falah in Ramallah. Other settlers set fire to agricultural land in Jit, Qalqilya, and a landfill in Ein Siniya, Ramallah.
Regarding settlement activity, settlers established a settlement outpost on the ruins of homes previously belonging to a displaced Palestinian family in Taybeh, Ramallah. They erected two tents near Palestinian homes in Susya, Hebron, and opposite homes in Burin. Additionally, they pitched a tent on the summit of Mount Ebal, north of Nablus, and another on Palestinian land east of Yatta in Hebron, along with a hut in Qarawat Bani Hassan, Salfit.
Settlers also paved a settlement road from Farkha's land and provided water to the outpost located there. They paved another road west of Deir Ballut in Salfit.
Furthermore, occupation forces ordered the confiscation of 36,055 dunams of land from the villages of Shibtin, Deir Ammar, and Deir Qadis in Ramallah, along with 12,221 dunams from the villages of Deir Ghassaneh and al-Lubban al-Gharbi in Ramallah.
