February 4, 2025
The Israeli occupation forces killed 25 Palestinians in the West Bank, and 12 others in the Gaza Strip, while rescue teams in the Strip recovered the bodies of 189 Palestinians murdered as a result of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, which lasted for more than a year. The Media Observatory of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for Israeli Crimes against Palestinians documented a total of 226 Palestinians murdered and 170 wounded during the period from January 28 – February 3, 2025.
The number of Palestinians murdered from October 7, 2023, to February 3, 2025, reached 48,426, while the number of wounded Palestinians for the same period reached 118,299.
During the past seven days, the occupation forces bombed, murdered, and wounded Palestinians in the town of Qabatiya, the city and camp of Jenin, the Nour Shams camp in Tulkarm, the Fara’a camp, the town of Tamoun in Tubas, and the Arroub camp in Hebron.
The Israeli occupation forces destroyed infrastructure and facilities in several streets, in Tulkarm city and its camp, and in the town of Tamoun in Tubas.
The occupation forces continued their violations against the Palestinian health sector, especially in Tulkarm, where they stormed the Red Crescent Hospital and the emergency department at Thabet Thabet Hospital, and began a siege around Al-Israa Specialized Hospital while subjecting its employees to searches, and detained an ambulance in its vicinity and abused its crew. Their siege also reached the government hospital in Tulkarm. In occupied Al-Quds, the occupation forces stormed Al-Maqased Charitable Hospital.
In terms of Israeli attacks on mosques, the number of Israeli settlers who stormed the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque reached 2,433 in seven days, as part of the almost daily storming of Al-Aqsa.
The occupation forces demolished the Hamza Mosque in Jenin camp, and the Al-Taqwa prayer hall in the village of Sur Baher in Al-Quds, and settlers burned a mosque in Jericho.
The occupation forces also stormed the Riyad Al-Aqsa schools in the Old City of Al-Quds, arrested a member of the teaching staff, and confiscated a group of schoolbooks.
The occupation forces arrested 246 Palestinians in the cities, camps, and villages of the West Bank, and demolished 57 homes in Jenin, Al-Quds, Tulkarm, Jericho, Hebron, Salfit, and Qalqilya. They also demolished and destroyed two restaurants in Bethlehem and Tulkarm, demolished a commercial store, closed a library in Al-Quds, an industrial facility and commercial warehouses in Nablus, and blew up a gas cylinder store in Tulkarm camp.
The Israeli forces also bulldozed agricultural lands, uprooted olive trees in the Takwira area in Salfit, and burned and destroyed two vehicles in Al-Quds and Jenin.
With regard to settlement activities, which numbered six activities in one week, the occupation forces carried out bulldozing and road-building works west of the “Rotem” settlement in the northern Jordan Valley, with the aim of expanding it. The occupation forces also began paving a settlement dirt road in Jericho, in addition to another road east of the town of Yatta in Hebron, and settlers placed mobile homes on the lands of the town of Adh Dhahiriya under the protection of the occupation forces. Settlers expanded the settlement outpost that was established near the village of Bardala in the northern Jordan Valley, after placing new mobile homes and hangars. Settlers also plowed dozens of dunams of agricultural land near the “Sidi Boaz” settlement outpost west of the town of Al Khader in Bethlehem, in preparation for planting them. In the same context, settlers carried out 27 attacks during the period from January 28 to February 3, 2025, targeting Palestinian lands. These attacks varied between destroying an agricultural room, to grazing their sheep on Palestinian lands, stealing six sheep from Palestinians in Salfit, and pumping stagnant water from the “Abi Hanahel” settlement outpost into the agricultural lands of the Palestinian village of Kisan to prevent their reclamation and cultivation. Settlers also released their livestock on Palestinian agricultural lands to graze in the town of Sinjil in Ramallah.
In the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation army admitted to opening fire in several areas of the Gaza Strip despite the ceasefire agreement, claiming that Palestinians were approaching the locations of occupation soldiers. This happened while the occupation authorities continued to restrict the entry of the much-needed aid to the stricken sector, especially medical supplies.
The total number of Israeli crimes in the past one week reached about 1,737 crimes that varied throughout the Palestinian territories.
