UN documents 29 settler attacks in West Bank in one week

The United Nations has documented 29 attacks by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, according to its humanitarian office. The attacks occurred between November 11-17, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters, according to The Associated Press news agency.

The surge underscores escalating violence in the occupied territory. In October, the UN said the largest number of attacks in one month had taken place, since it began keeping records in the mid-2000s.

The attacks caused 11 injuries and damaged 10 homes, two mosques and nearly two dozen vehicles, Dujarric said. Crops, livestock and about 1,000 trees were also destroyed.

Israeli forces have killed more than 200 Palestinians in the West Bank this year, including 50 children, Dujarric said.

Palestine demands international protection after West Bank settler attacks

Palestine’s Foreign Ministry has condemned settler attacks across multiple cities in the occupied West Bank and called for urgent international intervention.

Settler militias attacked citizens in Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Hebron on Friday, burning and destroying homes, demolishing property, and storming residential areas.

In a post on X, the ministry described the violence as “systematic terrorism” and part of a “dangerous and ongoing escalation” aimed at facilitating ethnic cleansing.

Settler attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank have surged this year, with the week beginning November 11 registering 29 attacks. Israeli authorities rarely take measures to stop the violence or hold perpetrators to account.

Israeli forces arrest Palestinian man in occupied West Bank’s Tulkarem

Israeli forces have arrested a Palestinian man in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarem. The arrest took place this morning when troops raided the home of Hamza al-Hattab, the Wafa news agency reported.

Israeli settlers attack Palestinian farmers near Hebron

Israeli settlers have again assaulted Palestinian farmers southeast of Masafer Yatta in the southern Hebron area of the occupied West Bank.

Local activist Osama Makharma told Wafa news agency that Israelis from a nearby illegal settlement attacked members of the Nawajeh family in the Ashkara area, slashing the tyres of their tractors and throwing stones at them.

Settlers also attacked the homes of residents Mohammed and Saddam Abu Qbeita, pelting them with rocks and smashing a window of one of their houses.

Two Palestinians wounded in Israeli raid on West Bank town

Israeli soldiers raided the town of Dura, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, wounding two Palestinians and arresting another, Wafa reports. Troops stormed the town with police dogs and remained for several hours, firing live rounds and large quantities of tear gas.

Two young men were shot in the legs and taken to Dura Governmental Hospital, while dozens of residents suffered tear gas inhalation and were treated on site.

Israeli forces also arrested a young man whose identity was not immediately known, Wafa added.

Israeli forces carry out raids, arrests in occupied West Bank towns

A 62-year-old Palestinian man was hospitalised after Israeli troops assaulted him during a raid on the town of al-Yamoun, west of Jenin in the occupied West Bank.

According to the Palestine Red Crescent Society, Israeli forces stormed the town, deployed snipers on rooftops, stopped women on the streets for questioning, and raided homes.

In a separate incident, soldiers arrested a child, Taym Atif Abbas, during an incursion in the nearby town of Zababdeh.

Separately, Israeli forces also raided al-Far’a refugee camp south of Tubas, entering with military vehicles and deploying soldiers in the market area, local residents said.

2 Palestinians wounded by live fire in Israeli raid on Qalqilya

Two Palestinians have been shot and wounded after Israeli forces raided the city of Qalqilya in the occupied West Bank.

Troops entered from the eastern side of the city, stormed the Kafr Saba neighbourhood, and fired live rounds and tear gas, Wafa news agency reported, citing local sources. The two men were hit in their lower limbs and transferred to a hospital.

Over the past two years, the Israeli army has used raids not only to kill resistance fighters and civilians but also to bulldoze any public infrastructure in its path. The Israeli government has also empowered Jewish settlers to attack Palestinian communities, as well.

Israeli artillery, air attacks near Rafah, Khan Younis, Deir el-Balah

Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic have reported a series of Israeli attacks across northern, central and southern Gaza this morning.

In the south, Israeli forces carried out air strikes and tank fire east of Rafah, and launched additional air and artillery strikes near Khan Younis, our colleagues report.

In central Gaza, artillery fire hit the eastern part of Deir el-Balah. In Gaza City, artillery attacks and tank fire also hit the Tuffah neighbourhood, our colleagues added, without mentioning casualties.

Israeli military conducts attacks beyond yellow line

These days the Israeli military has gone outside the yellow line, the area which they were meant to retreat to, and have been carrying out attacks in areas where the vast majority of displaced Palestinians have been pushed to shelter.

That is about 300 metres outside the yellow line, catching people off guard because those attacks have no prior warning. This has cast fear and panic that this could be the beginning or mark the beginning of wider actions by the Israeli military.

Over 200 Gaza displacement sites face severe winter flooding risk, UN warns

More than 200 makeshift displacement sites housing hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza face severe flooding risk this winter, according to the latest UN humanitarian assessment.

The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the occupied Palestinian Territory reported that 214 active sites are at particularly high risk of flooding due to their locations and poor conditions.

Last week, thousands of tents in Gaza were damaged due to floods, as temperatures plunged due to winter conditions. Nearly 1.5 million people are currently sheltering across 925 displacement sites throughout the Strip, with 1.1 million in vulnerable makeshift camps.

Only three of Gaza’s 590 health facilities are fully functional, while just 18 of 36 hospitals remain operational. An electricity disruption cut water production at the Southern Gaza Desalination Plant by one-third this week, compounding the crisis as winter weather intensifies.

Between October 10 and November 20, approximately 100,000 aid pallets entered Gaza, but only 87,500 were collected for distribution.

Israeli gunfire injures Palestinian in northern Gaza

Israeli forces have shot and injured a Palestinian near the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, report the Wafa news agency and our colleagues on the ground. The attack follows artillery attacks in Gaza City’s Tuffah and Shujayea neighbourhoods, according to Wafa.

Two Palestinians injured near central Gaza’s Bureij camp

Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting more casualties from Israeli military fire. The latest attack took place to the east of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, injuring two Palestinians, according to a local hospital report they cited.

‘Ceasefire on paper’: Child casualties continue amid continued Israeli attacks

Over the past two years, we can’t recall a day without reporting on children arriving at hospitals, either critically injured or pronounced dead from bomb sites. On a daily basis, the number of child casualties keeps increasing.

If we look at the past month or so over the course of this ceasefire, and a lot of people we talk to tell us this ceasefire only exists on paper, because on the ground, a number of children are being killed or injured, and that increases the pressure on how they’re managing their lives.

According to a UNICEF report, every day at least two children are being killed. We’re talking about a period in which there is supposed to be calm, but this keeps happening.

Palestinian Civil Defence asks for excavators to search for missing Palestinians in Gaza

Mahmoud Basal, the spokesperson for Gaza’s civil defence, has told our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic that the agency is requesting 20 excavators to support search and recovery efforts for missing Palestinian bodies in the enclave.

The planned search effort today has been paused, it added, after its crew came under attack by Israeli forces.

n addition to more than 69,000 people killed in Gaza during the war, thousands more are missing and presumed dead beneath rubble, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

Hamas accuses Israel of advancing beyond yellow line in Gaza

The Palestinian group has accused Israel of moving the so-called yellow line and advancing westwards in Gaza, in breach of the ceasefire agreement last month.

Israel has controlled more than half of Gaza since the October 10 truce.

Hamas called on international mediators and the US to intervene to make Israel comply with the agreement, adding that it rejects “a fait accompli that contradicts what was agreed upon”.

Gaza death toll since ceasefire rises to 318

The death toll in Gaza since the October 10 ceasefire began has risen to 318 after seven more bodies were brought to hospitals across the enclave in the past 48 hours. The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that 30 people were also wounded in the last two days, bringing the total number of injured since the ceasefire to 788.

Numerous victims remain trapped under rubble and in streets where ambulance and Civil Defence teams cannot reach them, the ministry said.

Israeli attack on Gaza City kills 4 Palestinians

An Israeli attack targeting a vehicle in Gaza City’s Remal neighbourhood has killed four people and injured others, the local ambulance service tells Al Jazeera. 

It’s been a bloody few minutes in the past hour. A vehicle was struck by drone missiles, killing five people in the heart of Gaza City. There are seven critically injured Palestinians, including children, at al-Shifa Hospital, which is acutely short of medical supplies.

This attack occurred in an area for displaced families who have returned recently after the ceasefire. This happened not far from where we’re reporting, just a couple of hundred metres away. It’s a busy area with lots of street vendors, and many people were passing by when the attack happened, maximising the number of casualties.

The bombing occurred without any warning. It caught everyone here off guard and created a lot of panic and fear that this could be the beginning of more strikes. We’re hearing the sounds of constant explosions in the east of the city.

Israel demolishes homes in Gaza City, displacing hundreds

Palestinian Civil Defence spokesperson Mahmoud Basal says Israel expanded the yellow line buffer zone by 250 metres (820 feet) following the ceasefire announcement, pushing families into areas lacking basic necessities.

People are now crowded into areas inside Gaza City without public services. The cold weather threatens to create additional challenges that could endanger residents’ lives without urgent intervention, Basal said.

Death toll from Israeli strikes on Gaza rises to 10

Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip have killed at least 10 people since dawn, according to sources on the ground.

These include five who were killed when their vehicle was struck in Gaza City, and four others, including children, who were killed when their home was attacked in central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah.

Four children killed in Israeli missile attack on Nuseirat camp

It’s getting scarier here. Judging by the pattern and pace of Israeli drones flying above this area, it looks like they are suicide drones, better known as kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicles.

An attack was carried out by a drone in the heart of Gaza City at a junction not far from the main gate of al-Shifa Hospital – a bustling area where at least four people were killed when they were struck inside their vehicle.

A few minutes later, there was another attack in the central city of Deir el-Balah, where two people were killed and, simultaneously, a missile strike by a jet hit the Nuseirat refugee camp, targeting a residential home, killing four children.

About a dozen Palestinians have been wounded in Israeli bombardment across the Strip just in the past hour. These attacks happened without any warning, confirming what people here have expressed over and over – that the ceasefire exists only on paper with Israel constantly violating the US-brokered truce.

Israel’s army says 3 Palestinian fighters killed in southern Rafah

The Israeli military says it killed three people in Rafah, southern Gaza, who were “likely” part of a group of fighters trapped in an underground tunnel beneath the city since the ceasefire started.

Al Jazeera could not independently verify the claim.

Estimates suggest about 200 Hamas fighters are trapped in a tunnel beneath Rafah with truce mediators attempting to find a way to safely extricate them, an effort Israeli officials have opposed.

Hamas has demanded they be granted safe passage to the areas of Gaza not under Israeli army control. The United States, Turkiye, and Egypt are reported to have been working on a way to resolve the issue to safeguard the ceasefire.

Israeli army accuses fighter of crossing ‘yellow line’, firing at soldiers

Israel’s military says a Palestinian fighter in Gaza breached the “yellow line” ceasefire demarcation and fired shots at Israeli troops in what it called a “blatant violation” of the truce.

No soldiers were wounded in the attack and they returned fire killing the gunman, a statement said.

The military said it launched retaliatory strikes at “Hamas targets” across Gaza.

As we’ve reported, Israeli forces have carried out numerous attacks in Gaza including a strike on a car in Gaza City that killed four people and wounded at least seven, including children.

Gaza death toll rises after latest Israeli attacks

Israel has killed at least 20 Palestinians, including four children, and wounded 83 others in the past 24 hours across the Gaza Strip, according to its Health Ministry.

Since the October 10 ceasefire, Israel has killed at least 318 people and injured 788 others, it said. The total number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces since October 7, 2023, has risen to 69,733, with 170,863 people wounded.

Israel accuses Hamas of violating ceasefire as it kills 22 in Gaza

Separate statements from Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the military allege a Hamas fighter drove to an area next to the “yellow line” and fired a weapon at Israeli soldiers.

Nobody was injured in that alleged attack. The Israelis even provided video of the incident, which we have not been able to verify independently. In response, the prime minister and army said Israel has carried out a series of attacks on Gaza, killing five top commanders in the Hamas movement.

This is a pattern we’ve seen repeated over and over again in Gaza and, before that, for the past year in Lebanon.

According to some news reports, the Trump administration and the US-led ceasefire coordination mechanism set up in Kiryat Gat, Israel were informed of the impending air strikes, and the US administration gave them the go-ahead.

Spate of attacks on Gaza show Israel’s war never ended

The latest deadly attacks happened during rush hour for many displaced families trying to get to bakeries and street markets to pick up whatever goods they’re able to find before returning to the displacement sites.

In a span of two hours, at least 22 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes. These people were inside their cars, inside shelters, inside whatever is left of their homes.

This is a reminder that Israeli army violence has never ended despite the six-week-old US-brokered ceasefire.

What was going on at a very fast pace over the past two years has now turned into this slow, steady pattern of killing. This is traumatising for people here who would never have predicted the latest attack would happen in this location in the heart of Gaza City.

Sewage-contaminated floodwater affects 740,000 displaced in Gaza

Flooding from recent heavy rains has destroyed thousands of tents and makeshift shelters across the Gaza Strip, worsening already dire living conditions for displaced Palestinians.

The UN and aid agencies say more winter supplies, shelter materials, and fuel must be allowed into Gaza urgently as sewage-contaminated floodwater has inundated camps, affecting more than 740,000 people across 715 displacement sites.

Humanitarian access remains heavily restricted by Israeli forces. Repair crews have been unable to fix the damaged main fibre line near the Beit Hanoon (Erez) crossing for weeks, it said, raising fears of a full communications blackout that could halt relief operations.

Food access shows modest improvement, but dietary diversity remains extremely poor, with one in four households eating only one meal a day. About 93 percent of Gaza’s school buildings have been damaged and cannot reopen without major reconstruction.

Hamas warns of ceasefire collapse after more deadly Israeli strikes

A senior Hamas official says it has informed mediators of its growing anger over ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza despite the group’s adherence to the US-brokered truce.

“We asked the mediators to intervene immediately to prevent the collapse of the agreement as the occupation intends,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Al Jazeera.

In a statement the group added: “The systematic Zionist violations of the agreement have resulted in the martyrdom of hundreds due to ongoing raids and killings under fabricated pretexts. These violations have also led to changes in the occupation army’s withdrawal lines, contravening the agreed-upon maps.”

Israeli air raids struck several areas across the Gaza Strip, killing at least 20 Palestinians and wounding dozens more in the latest breach of the six-week old ceasefire.

Casualty figures rise from Israeli drone strike on Gaza City vehicle

One of Israel’s deadliest strikes on Saturday targeted a vehicle in Gaza City. The drone blast killed 11 people and wounded at least 20 others in Remal neighbourhood, said Rami Mhanna, managing director of al-Shifa Hospital, where the casualties were taken.

The majority of the wounded were children, hospital director Muhammad Abu Salmiya said. Video and still images showed children and others inspecting the blackened vehicle with its top blown off.

Another strike targeting a house in Deir el-Balah, in central Gaza, killed three people, including a woman, according to al-Aqsa Hospital.

“Suddenly, I heard a powerful explosion. I looked outside and saw smoke covering the entire area. I couldn’t see a thing. I covered my ears and started shouting to the others in the tent to run,” said Khalil Abu Hatab.

“When I looked again I realised the upper floor of my neighbour’s house was gone. It’s a fragile ceasefire. This is not a life we can live. There’s no safe place.”

‘No truth’: Hamas denies media reports saying it called off Gaza truce

A senior Hamas official has refuted media reports saying the Palestinian group announced the Gaza ceasefire “is over” after repeated Israeli attacks killed more than 300 people since the truce began.

“Israel is fabricating pretexts to evade the agreement and return to the war of annihilation, while it is the one violating the agreement daily and systematically,” Ezzat al-Risheq, member of the Hamas political bureau, told Quds News Network.

“There is no truth to what the Israeli sources published regarding Hamas informing [Steve] Witkoff that the agreement has ended.  We have called on the mediators and the US administration to intervene and compel Israel to implement the agreement.”

Unnamed sources told Saudi state-owned Al Arabiya that Hamas said “the agreement is over” and “Gaza will not become another Lebanon” after Saturday attacks by Israel killed more than 20 people.

Isarel army says it killed 11 Palestinian fighters trapped in south Gaza

Israel’s military says it killed or captured more than a dozen Palestinian gunmen who were trapped in a tunnel under Rafah city in an area under Israeli occupation.

“A short while ago, troops operating in eastern Rafah located and apprehended an additional terrorist who attempted to flee from the underground terror infrastructure in the Rafah area,” the army said in a statement.

“At the end of a 24-hour pursuit, all 17 terrorists who attempted to flee the underground terror infrastructure in eastern Rafah were either eliminated or apprehended.”

The military said 11 Palestinians were killed and six captured.

Soldiers “remain deployed in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any threat, dismantle terror infrastructure and defend in the area”, it added.

That's not part of the ceasefire agreement... But it's clear the negotiations to let the remaining resistance fighters out have failed.

PM Netanyahu says Israel ‘fully honored’ Gaza ceasefire

After his army killed two dozen Palestinians in air strikes, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel has fully adhered to the Gaza ceasefire. At least 24 people were killed and 87 wounded in Gaza on Saturday, including women and children, despite the US-brokered truce.

“Today, Hamas violated the ceasefire again, sending a terrorist into Israel-held territory to attack soldiers. In response, Israel eliminated five senior Hamas terrorists,” the Prime Minister’s Office said.

“Israel has fully honored the ceasefire, Hamas has not. Throughout the ceasefire, dozens of Hamas terrorists have crossed the Israeli lines to attack our troops. We again call on the mediators to insist that Hamas fulfil its side of the ceasefire.”

Prime Minister's Office:

Today, Hamas violated the ceasefire again, sending a terrorist into Israel held territory to attack IDF soldiers. In response, Israel eliminated five senior Hamas terrorists.

Death toll since Gaza ceasefire began rises after Israeli strikes

Israeli attacks on Gaza have resulted in the deaths of 342 civilians – the majority children, women, and the elderly – since the ceasefire came into effect on October 10.

Gaza’s Government Media Office said at least 875 Palestinians were wounded over the past six weeks.

“This confirms the occupation’s determination to undermine the agreement and create a bloody reality on the ground that threatens security and stability in the Gaza Strip,” the office said in a statement.

Israeli attacks included 142 “shooting incidents” targeting civilians, homes, residential neighbourhoods, and displaced people’s tents, it added. There were also 100 demolitions of homes and civilian infrastructure.

“This systematic crime aims to expand destruction and collectively punish the population, constituting a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions,” the press office said.

Israel carries out new attacks inside ‘yellow line’ in southern Gaza

Israel has carried out 10 air strikes on Khan Younis inside the Gaza ceasefire’s “yellow line” marking areas under Israeli control.

Israeli bombing raids and artillery shelling also targeted the eastern part of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military also blew up buildings east of Gaza City as it continues its truce violations. A total of 497 violations have been recorded since the US-brokered agreement came into force six weeks ago, with nearly 350 Palestinians killed.

Victim of south Lebanon Israeli strike identified as local official

Municipalities across south Lebanon have condemned the killing of Hussein Yassine Hussein, a member of the town council, in the border village of Hula. He was targeted by an Israeli air strike in the Bint Jbeil district earlier today.

“We condemn this criminal act that will only add to the perseverance and persistence of our people,” the town of Rab Thalathin said in a statement.

Israel seizes more than 1,000 dunams in Jordan Valley, commission warns

The Palestinian Anti-Wall and Settlement Commission says Israel has seized 1,042 dunams (257 acres) of land in the Tubas and northern Jordan Valley area after issuing nine separate “military seizure” orders.

Commission head Muayyad Shaaban said the nine orders, though issued separately, form one large project to build a 22km (14-mile) road running from Ein Shibli southward to Aqqaba in the north. The planned route cuts through vast agricultural and residential areas and encircles the herding community in Khirbet Yarza.

Shaaban described the move as a major shift in the use of military seizure orders, saying the road is designed as a strategic corridor linking Israeli bases and illegal settlements in the Jordan Valley, tightening control over agricultural land between Tubas, Tammun and Tayasir, and blocking Palestinian geographic continuity.

He warned that, although such orders are nominally temporary, past experience shows 90 percent of “military roads” later become permanent settlement roads, turning seized land into long-term infrastructure serving settlers and fragmenting Palestinian communities.
