The Israeli occupation forces bombed a medical clinic, a school for displaced people, journalists, ambulances, civil defense vehicles, and soup kitchens in the Gaza Strip in just a few days.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation's Media Observatory on Israeli Crimes against Palestinians documented, between April 1 and 7, 2025, the commission of 2,725 Israeli crimes, the most prominent of which was the murdering of 31 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in the bombing of the 'Dar Al-Arqam' school for displaced people in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, which also witnessed the destruction of a water desalination plant.
Two journalists were murdered, and others were wounded in an attack on a tent designated for media near Nasser Medical Complex, which included targeting a soup kitchen for food distribution in Khan Younis.
This came as a video of a paramedic was emerged, revealing the truth about the field execution carried out by the Israeli occupation forces murdering 14 individuals, including a UN employee, as part of a series of Israeli crimes against the UN.
The Israeli occupation forces also bombed, within the past seven days, a clinic affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), murdering 55 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
Meanwhile, Israeli settlers set fire to a plot of land belonging to the agency in Al-Quds. The UNRWA considered the incident as part of an ongoing Israeli incitement against it.
These attacks coincided with the catastrophic humanitarian crisis facing Gaza's residents. The World Food Programme announced the closure of its 25 bakeries due to fuel and flour shortages, as Israel's closure of the crossings to humanitarian aid entered its fourth week.
Over the past week, Israeli preparations have begun to encircle the city of Rafah, where the Israeli forces blow up homes and expanded the buffer zone between Rafah and Khan Yunis.
Similar Israeli actions have also taken place in the northern Gaza Strip, amidst intensive Israeli plans to displace its residents. Meanwhile, the occupation government announced control over the Morag corridor as part of a broader plan to displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and reoccupy parts of it.
The OIC Observatory recorded the murdering of 400 Palestinians by Israel in the first week of April 2025, and the wounding of 1,112 others, in addition to documenting the murdering of 51,705 Palestinians by the occupation from October 7, 2023, to April 7, 2025, in addition to the wounding of 122,175 during the same period.
The Israeli occupation committed other crimes in the West Bank, as it raided its cities and villages 184 times in the period from April 1-7, 2025, during which 179 Palestinians were arrested, and more than 8 homes were demolished in Al-Quds, Bethlehem, Hebron and Tubas, in addition to the demolition of many barns in Tubas and Al-Quds, two stables for raising horses, and the sweeping of streets with a length of 800 meters, and caused destruction to the water and sewage networks in the Iktaba suburb in Tulkarm, and another street in the village of Umm Safa in Ramallah.
The Israeli occupation continued its abuse of children in the West Bank, with two children murdered in Ramallah and Jenin, three others injured in Al-Quds and Jenin, and nine arrested in various cities across the West Bank.
The Israeli occupation forces also targeted mosques over the past week, as extremists continued to storm the Al-Aqsa Mosque wearing T-shirts bearing images of the alleged "Temple." Extremist minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also stormed the mosque's courtyards under the protection of Israeli police and toured its grounds.
In the Old City of Hebron, occupation forces also removed the handles on the doors of Joseph's Tomb and the gate of the call to prayer room in the Ibrahimi Mosque, replacing them with iron locks. The keys to these doors are held by the Palestinian Islamic Waqf. The occupation forces also halted the construction of a mosque minaret and confiscated construction tools in the village of Al-Hijra in Hebron.
10 settlement activities took place in one week, including a decision to confiscate 57.79 dunums of land in the town of Al-Khader and the village of Artas in Bethlehem, and the town of Beit Ummar in Hebron, with the aim of creating a buffer zone around the settlement of "Efrat" south of Bethlehem.
The occupation forces also bulldozed agricultural land threatened with confiscation for the "French Hill" settlement. Settlers also established a new settlement outpost near the Bedouin community of Hathrura, where they installed mobile homes under the protection of the occupation forces. They also began preparing the infrastructure for the outpost in the Khan al-Ahmar area east of Al-Quds.
Settlers also stormed the Daak area of the Kobar town and set up several tents there. They bulldozed and plowed various areas of land near the Bani Na'im town, in the Halan area of Hebron, in Sinjil town of Ramallah, and in Qusra town. Both the occupation army and settlers paved settlement roads in the town of Al-Khader in Bethlehem and the town of Adh Dhahiriya in Hebron.
There were 39 settler attacks on Palestinian towns and villages over the past week, ranging from cutting down olive trees in the town of Beita and the village of Qira, stealing 5 horses in the town of Aqraba in Nablus and Salfit, cutting off electricity to an area near the town of Yatta, and grazing of sheep on the lands of Palestinian farmers in Al-Malihat in Jericho and Masafer Yatta in Hebron more than once, as well as, burning two houses, two livestock pens, and 5 vehicles in the village of Duma in Nablus.
