Israeli occupation forces killed 88 Palestinians and injured 231 in the Gaza Strip between November 18 and 24, 2025. The OIC Media Observatory for Israeli Crimes against Palestinians recorded the recovery of five bodies from under the rubble, while Palestinian authorities confirmed the killing of another 180 Palestinians during the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

The occupation forces crossed the yellow line that defines the areas of their control in the Gaza Strip, which led to a new wave of displacement among Palestinians. The occupation forces continued their violations of the ceasefire agreement, killing Palestinians in Deir al-Balah, east of Shuja’iyya and Khan Yunis, and killing women and children during their shelling of the southern Gaza Strip. They also shelled and killed dozens in various areas of Gaza City. They also committed various massacres through air raids, artillery and naval shelling on various areas in the Gaza Strip, and demolished dozens of homes in Khan Yunis and Rafah, and arrested 3 fishermen near the Gaza port.

While news reports indicated that the so-called “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” had ended its work in the Gaza Strip, the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, and the World Food Programme warned of the continued deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip with the onset of winter. Palestinians also warned of the leakage of toxic materials into the groundwater in Deir al-Balah.

In the West Bank, the occupation forces raided Palestinian cities and villages 437 times, killing 7 Palestinians, including 3 children, and injuring 23 others, in addition to seven children, as an occupation vehicle ran over a two-year-old child. They also arrested 292 Palestinians, including 3 children, and an armed settler detained a child north of the village of Awif in Nablus.

Israeli occupation forces demolished five homes, several shops, a car wash, and six livestock pens. They also filled in a well, bulldozed land, uprooted olive trees, and confiscated an agricultural tractor. Additionally, they seized 4,600 dunams of land in the town of Sebastia and the village of Burqa, aiming to seize archaeological sites in the area. Land was also confiscated in the Tubas area to construct a military road exceeding 40 kilometers in length.

During the past seven days, settlers carried out 93 attacks against Palestinians. These attacks included grazing their livestock on agricultural land in Ramallah and Salfit, stealing the contents of a blacksmith’s shop, smashing the windows of a commercial establishment, damaging solar panels in Nablus and Ramallah, stealing water tanks and building materials in Ramallah, and stealing an agricultural tractor in Nablus.

Settlers pushed a car into a valley in Jericho after failing to steal it. They also vandalized solar panels and stole chickens from the car owner’s home. They burned six tourist villas, a vehicle repair shop, six vehicles, two bulldozers, a farm, agricultural land, two houses, a mobile home, two agricultural rooms, a greenhouse, and olive trees. They damaged numerous vehicles, destroyed a plant nursery, and killed sheep after poisoning them. Settlers also isolated agricultural areas in the village of Yasuf in Salfit to prevent farmers from accessing them, bulldozed agricultural land in the village of Iraq Burin, and cut down and uprooted 320 olive trees. 

The number of settlement activities carried out by settlers and occupation forces in the span of a week reached 11 activities, including the establishment of a settlement outpost in Khan al-Ahmar in Jerusalem to restrict the Bedouin community in the area, and a settlement outpost in the village of Sur Baher in Jerusalem after fencing off an area of ​​6 dunams and placing mobile homes on it. Settlers also began building a settlement outpost in the northern Jordan Valley, and an agricultural room near a settlement outpost east of the village of Al-Mughayyir. They fenced off a plot of land in the town of Deir Debwan with the aim of grazing their sheep on it, and continued bulldozing other lands for days in the northern Jordan Valley, and plowed land in the village of Al-Maniya in Bethlehem. They also bulldozed land at the entrance to the town of Bruqin, and paved a settlement road in the lands of the village of Burin, and uprooted olive trees. The occupation forces, in turn, bulldozed lands east of Beit Sahour, installed 3 mobile homes, and demolished a mobile home in the town of Beit Hanina in Jerusalem in order to expand the settlement road. Thus, the number of Israeli crimes in 7 days reached 1633 crimes that included various Palestinian areas.
