Ramallah, December 30, 2025
The OIC Media Observatory on Israeli Crimes Against Palestinians recorded 328 Palestinians murdered by Israel and 38 injured across various Palestinian territories between December 23 and 29, 2025. The OIC Observatory documented the murder of five Palestinians by Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip, along with the injury of 14 others. It also recorded the recovery of 30 bodies from under the rubble and confirmed the deaths of an additional 292 Palestinians during the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip. Additionally, the OIC Observatory recorded the killing of one Palestinian and the injury of 24 others in the West Bank during the week.
The OIC Media Observatory also recorded the killing of a total of 72,372 Palestinians during the period from October 7, 2023, to December 29, 2025, and the injury of 180,524.
In the Gaza Strip, Israeli occupation forces bombarded areas east of Gaza City with airstrikes and artillery fire. They also demolished buildings east of Khan Younis and issued new “evacuation orders” for Palestinians east of the Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City. The evacuation order included an entire residential block in an area the Israeli army designates as safe, for the purpose of demolition and expanding the yellow Line.
Displaced people’s tents were flooded, and dilapidated buildings collapsed for the third time in a row during the winter of 2025-2026, following heavy rains in the Gaza Strip. Thousands of Palestinians in Gaza are suffering from illnesses due to the cold.
In the West Bank, Israeli occupation forces raided Palestinian cities and villages 285 times in seven days, arresting 212 Palestinians, including seven children, and wounding four others. Settlers also injured an infant girl after stoning her family in Hebron.
During that period, the occupation forces demolished 10 homes, a commercial establishment, numerous livestock and agricultural facilities, a bird shop, the foundations of shops under construction, two barns, and two warehouses. They also bulldozed a children’s park, uprooted more than 350 olive trees, and razed agricultural land between the towns of Silat al-Harithiya and Ya’bad in Jenin, in the village of Qusin in Nablus, and in the town of Ramadin in Hebron. They occupied several homes in the town of Qabatiya in Jenin and Hebron, converting them all into military outposts. They bulldozed streets, destroyed infrastructure, and cut off electricity to several neighborhoods in Qabatiya. They imposed a two-day curfew on the town and confiscated money and gold jewelry on four separate occasions in various areas of the West Bank. They also stormed the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron and expelled its workers under the pretext of providing security for settler incursions into the mosque.
During the aforementioned period, settlers launched 66 attacks on Bedouin communities and villages, while the total number of attacks launched by settlers from October 7, 2023, until now reached 6,296. During the attacks of the past week, settlers grazed livestock in the lands of the villages of Sarta in Salfit and Al-Maniya in Bethlehem, damaged 150 olive saplings, cut branches off 40 trees, stole 155 sheep, spread pesticides on grazing lands, resulting in the death of 5 sheep in the village of Kisan in Bethlehem, stole two cars, two agricultural tractors, and a bulldozer, damaged other vehicles, burned a bulldozer and two vehicles, stole doors of villas under construction, solar-powered spotlights, stole iron from an iron factory, dismantled barns belonging to residents of the Al-Mu’arrajat area in Jericho who had previously been forcibly evicted, and burned a barn with its contents.
In the same context, the number of settlement activities aimed at building and expanding settlement outposts and settlements reached nine. Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced his intention to establish 1,200 new settlement units in the Beit El settlement. The occupation authorities approved the implementation of a tunnel project in the Wadi al-Daraja area of Jerusalem, intended to connect the Har Homa settlement to a road near the village of Beit Safafa. Occupation forces paved a settlement road in Hebron lands, bulldozed a site in Tarsala to rebuild a settlement evacuated in 2005, uprooted olive trees on lands in the town of Deir Istiya, and uprooted 70 olive trees in the town of Kafr Haris, all for settlement purposes. Settlers plowed lands in two towns in Nablus and east and west of the town of Turmus Ayya in Ramallah, with the aim of seizing them all. Thus, the number of crimes committed by Israelis against Palestinians in seven days reached 1,210, encompassing all Palestinian areas.
