DAY 269 SINCE THE “CEASEFIRE” DEAL: ISRAEL KILLED 1,059 PALESTINIANS IN GAZA,

BRINGING THE TOTAL TO 73,074 PALESTINIANS KILLED SINCE THE GENOCIDE BEGAN

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continue to deepen the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza,

systematically and deliberately worsening living conditions for displaced Palestinians and

restricting humanitarian operations and aid delivery. According to UNRWA, Israeli restrictions

have exacerbated the crisis by blocking humanitarian assistance and creating critical shortages

that disrupt essential services despite the huge needs on the ground. Ongoing Israeli attacks

across the Gaza Strip also continue to endanger civilians and humanitarian personnel. Over the

past week, Israeli military operations intensified across Khan Younis, Rafah, and Gaza City, killing

eight Palestinians, according to local medical sources. IOF also shelled residential areas and

demolished homes, displacing additional Palestinian families. On Tuesday, an Israeli airstrike

targeting civilians near the Sheikh Radwan intersection north of Gaza City injured several

Palestinians. The following day, an Israeli drone strike on a gathering of civilians near Dar Al-

Arqam School in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood northwest of Gaza City injured several more.

On Thursday evening, another Israeli drone strike targeting a motorcycle in the New Camp area

of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza injured seven additional Palestinians. Meanwhile, a

recent report by the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied

Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel concluded that Israeli occupation

military operations have resulted in the unprecedented killing of Palestinian children. Local

sources also estimate that Israeli occupation military operations have destroyed more than 90%

of the Gaza Strip, while IOF now control approximately 80% of the war-ravaged territory, as the

world marks 1,000 days into Israel's genocidal aggression against Gaza.

IOF’S SYSTEMATIC USE OF DEADLY FORCE AGAINST PALESTINIAN CHILDREN

According to a report by the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem, IOF continued to use

lethal force against Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank throughout 2025. The

organization documented the killing of 54 Palestinian children and teenagers during the year. The

report details that Palestinian children were killed during Israeli military raids, arrest operations,

airstrikes, and while passing near areas where IOF military activity was taking place. It also

documented the killing of five children by Israeli colonial settlers. B'Tselem further reported that,

in 13 documented cases, the IOF obstructed access to urgent medical assistance for injured

Palestinian children and teenagers by restricting the movement of medical personnel and

civilians, thereby preventing or delaying life-saving treatment. As of 6 June, the organization also

reported that the Israeli occupation authorities continued to withhold the bodies of 18 Palestinian

children and teenagers they have killed, preventing their families from carrying out funeral and

burial rites, laying their loved ones to rest, and bidding them a final farewell.

CONTINUED ISRAELI REVENUE WITHHOLDING DEEPENS STRAIN ON PALESTINIAN

HEALTH SERVICES

According to The Times of Israel, the continued withholding of Palestinian clearance revenues by

Israeli occupation authorities has further deepened the financial strangulation of the Palestinian

health sector in the occupied West Bank. The report states that the resulting funding shortfall has

forced the closure of most government-run primary healthcare clinics due to severe shortages of

essential medicines and medical supplies. Citing Physicians for Human Rights Israel, it further

notes that the deterioration has significantly reduced access to healthcare, particularly for patients

requiring treatment for chronic illnesses, cancer, and other specialized medical services, while

also delaying or limiting access to surgical procedures.

WIDESPREAD MILITARY RAIDS, SETTLER TERROR ATTACKS CONTINUE ACROSS

OCCUPIED WEST BANK

During the past week, IOF conducted widespread military raids across the occupied West Bank,

carrying out home invasions, abductions, movement restrictions, and road closures in several

Palestinian cities and towns, including Ramallah, Nablus, Hebron, Bethlehem, Jenin, Qalqilya,

Tulkarem, and occupied Jerusalem. Meanwhile, Israeli colonial settler militias carried out a series

of terror attacks against the Palestinian people and their property. These included setting fire to a

cafeteria in the village of al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya, assaulting Palestinian shepherds east of

Bethlehem, attempting to steal livestock, and blocking the main entrance to the village of Burqa,

further disrupting the daily lives and livelihoods of helpless Palestinians. In a related development,

Le Monde reported that IOF killed 15-year-old Palestinian Amir Jaber during a military raid in

Ramallah after shooting him with live ammunition.

SYSTEMATIC ISRAELI ATTACKS AGAINST AGRICULTURE IN THE WEST BANK

In its weekly briefing, the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture documented a significant escalation

in Israeli crimes targeting the agricultural sector across the occupied West Bank. According to the

ministry, documented direct losses reached approximately USD 11.78 million, affecting at least

125 farmers. A total of 2,559 olive trees were uprooted, burned, or damaged, primarily in the Salfit,

Jenin, and Nablus governorates. The report states that olive trees accounted for 33.7% of the

total losses (USD 3.97 million), followed by damage to water infrastructure (27.6%), agricultural

facilities (18.5%), other fruit trees (11.4%), field crops and vegetables (4.3%), agricultural

infrastructure (2.4%), livestock (1.5%), and agricultural machinery (0.6%).

ISRAEL'S CONTINUED AGGRESSION AGAINST THE NORTHERN WEST BANK

The occupation's aggression has persisted for 532 days against Jenin and its refugee camp, 526

days against Tulkarem and its refugee camp, and 506 days against Nour Shams refugee camp,

displacing more than 33,000 Palestinian refugees since January 2025.

Israeli occupation authorities continue to accelerate settlement expansion and consolidation

across the occupied West Bank. In a public statement, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich

boasted that his government had approved more than 100 new settlements, established 160

settlement farms, invested billions of shekels in settlement infrastructure, and further

strengthened Israeli control over the occupied West Bank. He also reiterated his categorical

opposition to an independent Palestinian state. Separately, the Palestinian Colonization and Wall

Resistance Commission warned of reported plans by Israeli settler organizations to seize control

of approximately 100 strategic locations within Oslo-defined "Area A", which, under the Oslo

Accords, falls under full Palestinian civil and security jurisdiction. According to the Commission,

these reported plans represent a further escalation of settlement expansion, de-facto annexation,

and efforts to extend Israeli control into areas administered by the Palestinian National Authority,

while deepening the fragmentation of the territory of the State of Palestine. The Commission

further warned that the growing influence of settler organizations over Israeli government policy

has been accompanied by an increase in the establishment of colonial installations (outposts),

intensified settler terror attacks against the Palestinian people and their property, and measures

aimed at altering the demographic and geographic character of occupied Palestine.

The Palestinian Government has reiterated that Israel’s continued withholding of Palestinian tax

revenues is deepening the humanitarian and economic crisis in Palestine, with severe

repercussions across vital sectors, particularly healthcare. The resulting financial constraints are

depriving tens of thousands of families—especially children, the elderly, and patients with chronic

illnesses—of access to essential medical treatment and healthcare services, while disrupting

thousands of surgical procedures and other critical health interventions. This underscores the

urgent need for immediate international action to end this financial strangulation and ensure that

Palestinian government institutions are able to fulfill their responsibilities toward citizens. Despite

these unprecedented challenges and the persistent obstacles imposed by the Israeli occupation,

the Palestinian Government continues to advance its institutional development and reform

agenda. In this context, Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mustafa stated that the Cabinet’s approval

of the National Plan to Enhance the Resilience of the Palestinian Electricity System, together with

its accompanying energy-sector development programs, the endorsement of the establishment

of the National Council for Digital Transformation and Future Technologies, and the near

completion of a draft Public-Private Partnership Decree-Law collectively mark a genuine launch

of a national roadmap aimed at rebuilding the Palestinian economy on more efficient, resilient,

and sustainable foundations. These measures are complemented by a broad package of

additional initiatives and reforms currently being finalized under the National Program for

Development and Reform, with the objective of strengthening the resilience of the Palestinian

economy, improving public sector performance, and enhancing the efficiency, sustainability, and

responsiveness of public institutions.
