On Monday, 17 November 2025, after the military uncharacteristically evacuated one outpost out of the roughly 350 outposts Israel has established across the West Bank, settlers, as expected, went on rampages in Palestinian communities.

At around 5:30 or 6:00 P.M., dozens of settlers, most of them masked, raided the village of al-Jaba', west of Bethlehem. The settlers entered the village from the west, advancing on foot from Route 367, which leads west toward the Green Line. During the events, the settlers attacked at least five residential homes. They threw stones at houses and cars, and injured a one-and-a-half-year-old in the face by throwing a stone at the car in which she was arriving at her grandmother’s home.

The settlers smashed house windows with stones and threw Molotov cocktails that caused fires to break out in four homes, which were extinguished by residents. In the yard of one home, settlers set fire to three sofas, a wooden chair, and laundry hanging on a clothesline. They also set fire to five vehicles, three of which were completely burned and two partially damaged, and vandalized three additional vehicles with stones. In addition, settlers damaged security cameras installed on one of the homes and sprayed the graffiti “Regards from the detainees.”

During the attacks on the homes, settlers told residents they must leave their homes and the village and threatened to return and set the houses on fire if they did not. They attempted to break into one home and threatened the family who lives there, saying that if they did not leave, their fate would be the same as that of the Dawabsheh family, whom settlers burned to death in the village of Duma about 10 years ago.

Only at around 9:30 P.M. did Israeli military and police forces arrive at the village and take testimonies from residents.

On August 25, 2025, Israel bombed the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, then struck the same location minutes later as journalists and rescue teams rushed to help. The attack killed at least 20 people, including Reuters photojournalist Hossam Al-Masri, Al Jazeera's Mohammed Salama, freelancer Mariam Abu Daqah, and several medics and civil defense personnel. The Euro-Med Monitor described it as a "double tap" tactic designed to maximize casualties and silence witnesses. MSF condemned the strikes as "horrendous" .

Video footage shows Palestinian children running after a water truck, desperately trying to fill buckets and containers. The clip highlights the severe water shortage in Gaza amid Israel's ongoing blockade and restrictions.

Every morning, my brother Ahmed and I pick up empty containers and start walking.

Not to school. Not to work. Just to look for water.

We walk for kilometers under the burning summer sun, carrying heavy jugs that get harder to lift with every step. This isn't clean drinking water. It isn't safe. It's simply the only water we can find.

This video shows the whole journey, from the moment we leave our tent until we finally fill the containers and make the long walk back. It looks simple on camera, but no video can show how exhausting it really is. No words can make you feel what it's like when something as basic as water becomes a daily struggle.

This isn't something you see on the news. You might hear that there's a ceasefire, but our reality never stopped being a fight for survival.

Why are we still living like this?

Why does finding water have to take half the day?

Why has this become normal for us?

Sometimes I wonder if this is what the rest of our lives will look like. Walking under the sun for water that isn't even clean, then returning to a tent and doing it all again the next morning.

We are not asking for luxury. We are trying to reach the most basic thing a human being needs to stay alive.

I'm sharing this because I want people outside Gaza to see what life actually looks like here. Not the headlines. Not the numbers.

Just one ordinary day in our lives.

This is the journey you don't see.

This is our reality.

Israeli forces were filmed chasing a Palestinian child with special needs in the Shu’afat refugee camp, north of Jerusalem, before detaining him and reportedly assaulting him. The incident took place amid ongoing raids and heightened tensions in the camp, where Israeli forces frequently conduct operations that residents say place civilians, including children, at risk.

Shu’afat, the only refugee camp within Jerusalem’s municipal boundaries, has seen repeated incursions, arrests and violent confrontations in recent months.

This is the "centrist" view in Israel. Imagine how bad the radical views are.

Vile crimes by vile people.If they can shoot people in a queue for food, they are capable of anything.

Tamir Pardo, former Mossad head, on a tour documenting Jewish settler terror in the West Bank: “My mother is a Holocaust survivor, & what I saw here reminded me of the events of the previous century against the Jews.“

An Israeli soldier posted a video showing the town of Beit Hanoun completely destroyed. Not a single house in the town remains standing, and not a single tree has survived

Under the proposal, anyone who publicly or at a gathering denies the right of the State of Israel to exist, or calls for its elimination, would face punishment.
