Israeli operations escalate in Gaza and Occupied West Bank
Shafaq News – Gaza/Nablus Israeli forces intensified artillery shelling and demolitions across the Gaza Strip on Friday, targeting areas in Khan Younis and eastern Gaza City, while also expanding raids and settler activity in the Occupied West Bank (OWB), according to Palestinian media reports. The Palestinian Information Center reported that Israeli forces carried out large-scale demolitions of residential buildings in eastern Gaza and detonated three explosive-laden robots near Masoud Street in the Jabalia area, north of the Strip. Separately, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz quoted soldiers as saying that troops had intentionally fired on Palestinians near aid distribution points in Gaza. Health officials at al-Shifa Medical Complex warned the hospital could shut down due to dwindling fuel supplies, exacerbating an already severe humanitarian situation. شاهد |الرضيع أحمد طليب "عمره شهران" استــشهد في غزة؛ جرّاء سوء التغذية الناجم عن المجاعة والحصار 'الإسرائيلي" — المركز الفلسطيني للإعلام (@PalinfoAr) June 27, 2025 According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), 55,999 people have been killed in Gaza since October 2023, including 18,000 children and 12,400 women. The data also reports the deaths of more than 1,400 medical staff, 219 journalists, 203 UNRWA employees, and 112 civil defense workers. Over 11,000 individuals remain missing. In the Occupied West Bank, tensions escalated in several areas. In Nablus, clashes broke out after dozens of Israeli settlers, escorted by military personnel, entered the eastern part of the city to perform religious rituals at Joseph's Tomb (Yousuf a.s) — a site considered sacred by Jews and located in an area under Palestinian Authority control. Local sources said settlers damaged both public and private property along Jerusalem Street. They later gathered at the tomb under military protection and performed Talmudic rituals, prompting confrontations with residents. قوات الاحتلال تقتحم المنطقة الشرقية في مدينة نابلس — شبكة قدس الإخبارية (@qudsn) June 27, 2025 In East Jerusalem, Israeli groups entered the Western Wall plaza to mark the start of the Hebrew month of Tammuz. In the town of Azzun, east of Qalqilya, Israeli forces reportedly turned a civilian home into a military outpost during a raid that continued into the morning. According to PCBS, Israeli military operations in the Occupied West Bank have resulted in the deaths of at least 993 Palestinians, including 197 children, and injuries to nearly 7,000 others since the war began. — شبكة قدس الإخبارية (@qudsn) June 27, 2025

Gaza Health Ministry slams Israeli strike on hospital amid rising death toll
Shafaq News/ On Wednesday, the Ministry of Health in Gaza strongly condemned an Israeli drone strike on the administration building of Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah, calling it a deliberate attack on the medical system amid rising casualties across the besieged enclave. The ministry warned that targeting medical facilities poses a direct threat to healthcare staff, patients, and the wounded, calling for immediate international protection for Gaza's remaining operational health institutions. It accused Israeli forces of 'systematically dismantling' the already strained health sector and demanded that continued assaults on medical infrastructure be classified as a war crime. The strike came as Gaza endures its 79th consecutive day of Israeli bombardment. At least 32 Palestinians have been killed since dawn in multiple Israeli airstrikes across the Strip. Arab media reports indicated that the deadliest attack occurred in western Khan Younis, where 18 people, including children, were killed after a drone targeted displaced families sheltering inside a school. Separate strikes claimed more lives in Al-Shati refugee camp, Nuseirat, Jabalia, and Abasan town. عاجل| شهداء وجرحى بعد غارة من طيران الاحتلال استهدفت موقعا في مخيم الشاطئ غرب مدينة غزة. — شبكة قدس الإخبارية (@qudsn) June 4, 2025 The ministry reported 97 bodies arriving at Gaza hospitals in the past 24 hours—two of them recovered from under rubble—alongside 440 injuries. It affirmed that rescue teams are unable to reach victims due to ongoing shelling and blocked access. Since October 7, 2023, Israeli operations have killed 54,607 Palestinians and injured 125,341. Already Fragile Health System Long before the war, Gaza's healthcare infrastructure was already under severe strain due to the blockade imposed since 2007. Official statistics indicate just 2,612 hospital beds across the enclave—about 1.2 beds per 1,000 people, far below the global average. The World Health Organization has documented over 686 direct attacks on Gaza's healthcare system since the war began. Based on the latest update from the ministry, 22 of the territory's 38 hospitals are out of service. Reports from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) indicated that over 80% of health facilities are no longer operational, and at least 70% of ambulances are either destroyed or immobilized due to fuel shortages. The targeting has not only crippled infrastructure but also devastated personnel: 1,581 health workers have been reportedly killed, 1,312 wounded, and 362 detained.

Israeli occupation forces kill 13-year-old Palestinian girl in Jenin - War on Gaza
A 13-year-old Palestinian girl, Rimas Al-Amouri, was killed by Israeli occupation forces on Friday in Jenin, according to the Palestinian health ministry. The ministry said Al-Amouri sustained critical gunshot wounds to the abdomen and back before being rushed to Jenin Government Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Her death brings the number of Palestinians killed in Jenin since the start of the Israeli military assault on the town and its refugee camp two months ago to 27. وداع مؤلم للطفلة ريماس عموري التي استشهدت برصاص الاحتلال في حي الجابريات بمحيط مخيم جنين. — شبكة قدس الإخبارية (@qudsn) February 21, 2025 According to the Jenin Media Committee, Israeli forces have also displaced over 40,000 people—90 percent of the camp's residents—damaged 470 structures, and cut off water access for 35 percent of the population during 153 military raids on the camp. Dubbed "Iron Wall," Israeli attacks on north West Bank cities since the beginning of this year have killed at least 73 Palestinians, including 38 in Jenin, 15 in Tubas, seven in Nablus, eight in Tulkarm, three in Hebron, two in Bethlehem, and one in Jerusalem, Palestinian news agency WAFA reported last week. Since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza on 7 October 2023, at least 887 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli occupation forces or settlers in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Stop killing children in West Bank! Last week, UNICEF condemned the surge in Israeli occupation violence against children in the West Bank in recent months as it called for an end to hostilities. UNICEF's regional director Edouard Beigbeder said 13 Palestinian children have been killed in the West Bank since the start of the year alone, including seven killed following the launch of a large-scale operation by Israel in the north of the territory on 19 January. The casualties include a two-and-a-half-year-old child, whose pregnant mother was also injured in the shooting, according to the United Nations children's agency. "UNICEF condemns all acts of violence against children and calls for the immediate cessation of armed activity across the occupied West Bank," Beigbeder said in a statement. "All civilians, including every child without exception, must be protected." He added that the rising use "of explosive weapons, airstrikes and demolitions in Jenin, Tulkarem, and Tubas Governorates -- including in refugee camps and other densely populated areas -- has left essential infrastructure severely damaged, disrupting water and electricity supplies." In total, 195 Palestinian children and three Israeli children have been killed in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since Israel began its war on Gaza on October 7, 2023. That constitutes a 200 per cent increase in the number of Palestinian children killed in the territory over the past 16 months, compared to the same period prior. According to the UN humanitarian agency OCHA, 224 children (218 boys and six girls) were killed between January 2023 and January 2025 in the West Bank by Israeli forces or Israeli settlers, which represents nearly half of the 468 children killed in total in the territory since 2005, when OCHA began documenting these victims. More than 2,500 Palestinian children were also injured in the West Bank between January 2023 and December 2024, according to the agency. Short link:
