OIC: Israel Targets Hospitals, Begins Displacement of Northern Gaza
Mohamed Mandour The Organization of Islamic Cooperation's Media Observatory on Israeli Crimes Against Palestinians recorded record numbers of martyrs during the past week, with 621 martyrs and 1,763 wounded between May 13 and 20, 2025. The number of martyrs from October 7, 2023, to May 19, 2025, reached 54,941 martyrs and 129,497 wounded. The Observatory also documented the deaths of five journalists in the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Strip has entered a new chapter of brutal Israeli aggression, marked by the occupation forces beginning to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip by targeting hospitals and destroying its remaining buildings. They also focused their promises to distribute aid on the southern Gaza Strip while stripping the northern Gaza Strip of its basic necessities. This occurred at a time when the number of martyrs had returned to what it was in the first days after October 7, 2023. Israel, the occupying power, announced its intention to bring aid into the southern Gaza Strip, confirming that it is pushing the masses of people in the northern and central Gaza Strip southward, with the aim of creating an atmosphere of what is known as "voluntary displacement" through intensified bombing, striking hospitals, or controlling the distribution of aid. The OIC Observatory documented, between May 13 and 19, 2025, the targeting of hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip by the occupation forces, including the bombing and siege of the Indonesian Hospital, the targeting of the Hamad Hospital for Prosthetic Limbs in the northern Gaza Strip, the bombing and evacuation of the European Hospital in Khan Yunis, the bombing of Nasser Hospital and the evacuation of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex. The occupation forces imposed a new evacuation plan adjacent to the Al-Rimal neighborhood and the Islamic University, where thousands of displaced people reside, in addition to areas in the south and west of Gaza, as part of their campaign aimed at exhausting Palestinians and pushing them to leave the Strip. This comes after they had already displaced 300,000 Palestinians for the second time from the northern Gaza Strip, following the destruction of more than 1,000 housing units, as part of a plan to remove the remaining buildings in Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun, and Jabalia. In the West Bank and occupied Al-Quds, occupation forces killed two children in Al-Quds and Nablus, wounded four others, and arrested nine children. Settlers also assaulted a girl in the Old City of Al-Khalil, wounding her. The Israeli aggression also targeted seven schools. Occupation forces raided the Bruqin Elementary School for Girls in Salfit and detained approximately 100 teachers at the Hamra checkpoint, preventing them from reaching their schools in the northern Jordan Valley in Tubas. They also raided the Al-Munjid Private School in the town of Bruqin in Salfit, the Kafr al-Dik Elementary and Secondary Girls Schools in the town of Kafr al-Dik, the Martyr Mazen Abu al-Wafa School, and Rawdat al-Salam, transforming the school into a military checkpoint during their raid on the same town. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies

OIC: West Bank faces 314 incursions, 49 settler attacks
Mohamed Mandour The number of Palestinian murdered in a single week reached 232, along with 839 injured while the number of murdered from October 7, 2023, to April 14, 2025, reached 51,937, with 123,014 injured. The forced displacement of Palestinians by the occupying forces continues in the worst situation in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on October 7, 2025. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation's Media Observatory on Israeli Crimes against Palestinians documented, from April 8 to 14, 2025, deliberate Israeli behavior aimed at exhausting Palestinians through their continuous displacement from one area to another. The occupying forces warned civilians living in the neighborhoods of Zeitoun, Shuja'iyya, and Tuffah to evacuate their places ahead of an Israeli ground attack. The warnings came after a massacre in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood claimed the lives of fifty Palestinians, most of them women and children, amid ongoing shelling of Khan Yunis, Rafah, and the Nuseirat refugee camp. The most prominent attack in the Gaza Strip was the Israeli shelling of the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in central Gaza, which crippled the hospital's ability to receive emergency cases. In addition, the Al-Mukhtar flour distribution point, run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), was bombed east of Khan Yunis. This is aimed at starving the people of Gaza through ongoing war crimes. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) confirmed that the situation in the Gaza Strip is the worst since the outbreak of the Israeli war. Gaza has witnessed all manner of crimes, while the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) revealed that Israeli occupation forces destroyed 94 archaeological sites in Gaza. In the West Bank, the same crimes continued, particularly against places of worship. Extremist settlers continued their incursions into the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, while the occupation authorities banned Sheikh Muhammad Salim, the Imam of Al-Aqsa Mosque, from the mosque for a week. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..

OIC Reports Spike in Israeli Violence First Week of April
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation's (OIC) Media Observatory documented 2,725 Israeli violations against Palestinians Between April 1 and 7, 2025. Chief among them was the bombing of the 'Dar Al-Arqam' school for displaced people in Gaza's Al-Tuffah neighborhood, which killed 31 Palestinians—mostly women and children. The report also highlighted the killing of journalists and the emergence of a video showing the field execution of 14 individuals, including a UN staff member. Additionally, Israeli forces targeted a UNRWA-affiliated clinic, resulting in 55 deaths, again primarily women and children. Meanwhile, settlers torched UNRWA-owned land in Al-Quds. These incidents occurred amid a deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The World Food Programme (WFP) shut down bakeries due to a lack of supplies caused by continued closure of aid crossings. Israel also escalated operations around Rafah—demolishing homes, expanding buffer zones, and asserting control over the Morag Corridor—repeating tactics seen in northern Gaza as part of a broader displacement strategy. In the first week of April alone, the observatory recorded 400 Palestinian deaths and 1,112 injuries. Since October 7, 2023, the death toll has surpassed 51,700, with more than 122,175 injured. In the West Bank, Israeli forces carried out 184 raids, arrested 179 Palestinians, and demolished at least eight homes. Two Palestinian children were killed, three injured, and nine detained. Reports also noted attacks on mosques, including incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque by extremists. Settlement expansion continued with land confiscation for buffer zones and new outposts. Settlers launched 39 attacks on Palestinian communities, damaging olive groves, stealing livestock, cutting electricity, and setting fire to homes and vehicles.

OIC: Israel Targeted Medical Personnel, Journalists, School in Gaza
Mohamed Mandour 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. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
