Three Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza

Israeli forces have continued attacks on Gaza overnight, despite the US-brokered ceasefire, killing three people, including two children, according to our colleagues on the ground.

One attack hit a tent sheltering displaced people in the al-Mawasi area of southern Khan Younis, killing two people, including an eight-year-old child.

Another strike on a residential apartment in central Gaza killed a second child and wounded several people.

Israeli drones also hit a residential apartment in western Gaza City, wounding 10 people, most of them children. They were taken to al-Shifa Hospital.

Since the ceasefire was announced on October 11, near-daily Israeli attacks on the enclave have killed at least 1,209 people and injured 3,943, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

Gaza’s Nasser Medical Complex faces surgical overload with 11 theatres for 5,000-plus operations

Health authorities say Gaza’s Nasser Medical Complex is “under huge operational pressure”, with doctors performing more than 5,065 surgeries in the first half of 2026.

In a statement, the Ministry of Health said the figure represents a “double challenge” for the hospital as it only has 11 functional operating rooms and 735 beds to handle hundreds of incoming cases.

Of the total figure, 4,234 were scheduled procedures that faced waiting-list backlogs, while 831 were emergency interventions requiring immediate response, it said.

The World Health Organization has meanwhile warned that only 17 of Gaza’s 36 hospitals remain even partially functional, with Nasser, Al-Shifa, and Al-Amal among the few major referral facilities still operating .

The director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex in the Gaza Strip, Muhammad Abu Salmiya said on Wednesday that the health system in the Strip is sliding toward “complete collapse”. He said that hospitals are operating at an occupancy rate exceeding 130 percent.

Pakistan, Turkey voice concern over Israeli actions in Gaza, West Bank

Pakistan and Turkey have expressed deep concern over continued Israeli military operations in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, as well as repeated violations at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem.

Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar spoke by phone with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, during which the two exchanged views on regional and international developments with a focus on the worsening humanitarian situation in Palestine, according to a Pakistani statement.

Dar and Fidan reaffirmed their unwavering support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and discussed Jordan’s proposal to convene a meeting of Arab and Islamic countries to coordinate diplomatic efforts in support of the Palestinians, the statement said.

Happened in the occupied West Bank

Israeli drone attack kills one person in Gaza City

Israeli attacks on Gaza have continued this morning, with one person killed and seven wounded after a drone hit a tent in Gaza City, in front of the Qattan Center for the Child.

A drone attack also targeted one person riding an electric bicycle on Jalaa Street in Gaza City.

Since the “ceasefire”, Israeli attacks have continued in Gaza on a near-daily basis.

Gaza labs operating at less than half capacity as supplies dwindle

Diagnostic and laboratory services across the Gaza Strip have fallen to less than half their pre-war capacity due to acute and persistent shortages of medical supplies, says the Gaza Health Ministry.

Laboratories affiliated with the ministry performed 2.3 million tests in the first half of 2026, reaching only 38 percent of the normal pre-conflict testing rate, said Sahar Ghanem, director of the ministry’s laboratory unit. The shortage of basic testing materials has exceeded 87 percent, she added.

Ghanem said the sharp decline has led to a complete halt of many vital diagnostic tests, particularly those for cancer and kidney patients, posing a direct risk to disease diagnosis and the monitoring of treatment protocols.

She renewed calls for urgent international intervention to facilitate the entry of laboratory testing materials, warning that continued shortfalls would jeopardise diagnostic services and the lives of thousands of patients with chronic and complex conditions.

The laboratory crisis compounds mounting pressure on Gaza’s health system, which the World Health Organization has warned is operating under “catastrophic” conditions after more than nine months of war.

Thousands left in the dark as Israeli forces down power line near Ramallah

Turmus Aya is one of the villages [in the occupied West Bank] that lost power as a result of the Israeli forces firing without any reason whatsoever, and shooting down the power transmission line that feeds not just Turmus Aya, but also other villages close by, like al-Mughayyir and Abu Falah.

Some people lost power for as long as six hours.

Over the past 24 hours, hospitals across Gaza have received at least six dead bodies, including four new deaths, one person who succumbed to injuries, and one body that was recovered from the rubble, the Health Ministry reports.

Since the start of the “ceasefire” on October 11, at least 1,214 people have been killed and 3,977 wounded.

Overall, since the start of the war on October 7, 2023, Israeli attacks have killed at least 73,341 and wounded 174,086.

Administrative detention is another kind of warfare Israeli forces are waging against Palestinians

Some Palestinians are having to face what has been described by many human rights organisations as ‘living hell’. That is when the Israeli forces take them into custody, take them into Israeli jails, sometimes for no charges whatsoever, under Israel’s policy of administrative detention.

There is negligence when it comes to their medical needs, when it comes to their food, when it comes to every aspect of their lives inside Israeli jails. This is sometimes done to remind Palestinians who is controlling their lives, and that, should they ever think of defying and resisting against Israel’s occupation, then the price will be very high.

Sometimes these detentions are just for a few hours, so they don’t take them to jails per se. But again, they serve the same purpose. Other times they are just there to kind of collect and gather information about Palestinians.

This is another kind of warfare that the Israeli forces are waging against Palestinians, which is a mental and psychological war that is meant to subjugate Palestinians and get them to either be okay with, and accept, the land grabs and whatever Israel’s doing, or eventually leave.

Israeli forces stage ‘mutiny’ at Negev base in protest against commanders

About 100 Israeli soldiers from the Givati Brigade’s Tzabar Battalion left the Sde Teiman base in the Negev desert and abandoned their weapons following a protest regarding their commanders, Israel’s Ynet has reported.

According to an Israeli army spokesperson, the dispute stemmed from the battalion commander ordering the removal of symbols related to “irregular incidents involving the battalion’s veteran-junior tradition”.

“According to soldiers in the battalion, the removed symbols had accompanied them during fighting in Gaza and Lebanon and were passed down from one recruitment class to the next,” Ynet said.

“They viewed the items as representing their connection to the battalion and its traditions.”

Israeli news outlet Maariv, citing an unnamed military source, said that due to the incident, the battalion was now unqualified to participate in combat missions it was preparing to carry out in Gaza.

Israel Hayom said the fighters and commanders left Sde Teiman carrying their personal bags, without their military equipment and weapons, and headed to their homes.

The Israeli Givati Brigade is accused of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide during its "duty" in Gaza. These accusations focus on specific field actions documented largely through self-published social media footage.

Israeli drone attack causes casualties in northern Gaza

An Israeli raid has caused casualties after a drone targeted Jabalia al-Balad, northern Gaza, a source in the Ambulance and Emergencies department says.

Israeli attacks across Gaza have increased since this morning, with one person killed and several others wounded so far.

Amnesty says continuing Indian arms exports to Israel risk ‘complicity’ in Gaza genocide

India has continued supplying weapons to Israel, despite a substantial risk that they could be used in what Amnesty International called an ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

The report “Made in India”, released by the human rights group on Thursday, analyzed shipment-level trade data and identified at least 2,596 shipments of arms, ammunition, parts and components sent from India to Israel between October 7, 2023 and November 30, 2025. These included small-arms parts, artillery shell casings and explosive warheads for loitering munitions, Amnesty said, some were supplied to Israeli firms Elbit Systems, Rafael and Israel Aerospace Industries.

Amnesty said several suppliers were directly owned, or controlled, by the Indian state, and accused New Delhi of failing to regulate exports in line with international law.

“India manufactures and supplies arms transferred to Israel through its ownership and control over key supplier companies,” Amnesty Secretary-General Agnes Callamard said, urging an immediate halt to transfers.

Amnesty said it wrote to the Indian government and nine named companies in mid-2026 but had received no response by publication.

UNRWA says Israel continues to expand Gaza ‘Yellow Line’

The Israeli military has advanced its so-called “Yellow Line” across multiple areas of Gaza, including eastern Deir el-Balah (Middle Area), Gaza City and Khan Younis, according to UNRWA’s latest situation report.

The UN agency said multiple forced evacuation and shelter-in-place orders were issued over the past week, affecting several humanitarian facilities, including more than 10 UNRWA premises.

Despite the ceasefire, Israeli forces routinely open fire on and kill Palestinians they say are inside the “Yellow Line”. This is an area that remains part of the occupied Gaza Strip under international law.

UNRWA also added that the operating environment in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with a “significant escalation in hostilities” reported in the humanitarian area, or “green zone”, west of the “Yellow Line”.

Separately, the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said the restricted-access zone had expanded to cover 64.9 percent of the Gaza Strip by June 2026, up from 53 percent earlier this year.

Israeli restrictions on aid are crippling Gaza relief operations: UNRWA

Israel’s restrictions on aid entering Gaza continue to disrupt humanitarian operations, with shortages of lubricant oil and spare parts leaving more than half of UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA’s vehicle fleet out of service, according to the agency’s latest situation report.

UNRWA said shortages of fuel and lubricants have also affected 62 water wells, reducing its production and distribution of clean water by 42 percent.

Despite the constraints, the agency said it resumed services at Beach Camp Health Centre in western Gaza City on July 21 and opened the Bahrain Medical Point in southern Gaza City on July 29. The two facilities are expected to provide primary healthcare to almost 100,000 people.

UNRWA also said 116 emergency shelters remain active across Gaza, housing about 76,000 internally displaced people.

Palestinian FA files complaints over Israeli claims against slain football figures

The Palestinian Football Association (PFA) said it filed formal complaints with FIFA, UEFA, and the Asian Football Confederation over Israeli military allegations against 12 Palestinian football figures killed in Gaza, including a FIFA-accredited assistant referee.

Israel’s military alleged last week that the 12 were members of Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The PFA rejected the claims as unsupported by verifiable evidence and made only after the men had been killed, calling it “an utterly disgraceful act” to accuse people of crimes without evidence, legal process or a chance to defend themselves.

The association said 1,013 Palestinian athletes — including 568 from the football community — have been killed since the war began, and 265 sporting facilities destroyed.

It urged FIFA to intervene and called on UEFA to take a “clear and principled” stance on the presumption of innocence, saying the association reserves the right to escalate the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Qatar welcomes Ireland’s ban on goods imported from Israeli settlements

Qatar has welcomed Ireland’s decision to enact a law banning the import of goods from Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, calling it “an important step” that supports efforts to deter Israeli settlement expansion.

Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it hoped “more countries will take similar steps” while stressing that “the international community [must] fulfil its legal and moral responsibilities to compel Israel to halt its settlement policy in the occupied Palestinian territories.”.

The statement follows Ireland’s long-awaited legislation being signed into law. The bill was passed by parliament on July 7, but critics say it does not go far enough because it does not prohibit services originating from Israeli settlements.

Israeli forces establish new settlement outpost in occupied West Bank

Israeli forces established a new settlement outpost, carried out raids, issued demolition orders and prevented Palestinians from extinguishing a fire in separate incidents across the occupied West Bank, according to Wafa news agency.

• Israeli forces began establishing a new settlement outpost on land belonging to the village of Faqqua, northeast of Jenin, while providing protection for machinery carrying out land-leveling and site preparation.
• Israeli forces raided Beit Furik, east of Nablus, for the second time on Thursday, forcing a number of Palestinian businesses to close while firing live ammunition and tear gas.
• Israeli forces ordered the abandonment and demolition of a vehicle repair garage in the Shuweika suburb, north of Tulkarem, and issued an order requiring its immediate closure.
• Israeli forces prevented Palestinians from fighting a fire near the separation wall in the al-Muruj area, north of Qalqilya, allowing the blaze to spread and destroy about 100 beehives.

Israeli forces shoot Palestinian man near Nablus, force businesses shut in Beit Furik

A 59-year-old Palestinian man was shot in the neck with live ammunition after Israeli forces opened fire on his vehicle in the town of Beita, south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, according to an official from the Palestine Red Crescent Society quoted by the Wafa news agency.

The man was transferred to hospital for treatment.

Separately, Wafa reports, Israeli forces stormed Beit Furik, east of Nablus, firing live ammunition and tear gas as they entered, according to local sources.

Soldiers ordered several shop owners to close their businesses amid what sources described as acts of intimidation across the town.

Trump says Israel will withdraw from Gaza after Hamas disarms

Trump has hailed as “historic” an agreement reached by the Gaza Board of Peace for the complete disarmament of Hamas.

Posting on Truth Social, Trump said Israel will leave Gaza after Hamas disarms.

“As disarmament is completed, Israeli forces will withdraw, and the International Stabilization Force will work with a new Palestinian police force to take responsibility for Gaza being safe for its residents and its neighbors”, Trump said.

“Israel will have the security it deserves, with Gaza no longer used as a base for terror attacks, “he wrote.

He said the agreement “is a critical step towards Gaza finally being governed by a new Palestinian government that will work closely with the Board of Peace to help the Palestinian people”.

There has not yet been any public comment from Hamas.

Like in Lebanon, the Israelis have always said that they will not leave Gaza.

Then, they are known for engaging in obligations but then exempt themselves from. They have showed that in all ceasefire agreements, and in Lebanon, in the implementation of the so-called framework, and currently during the launch of the first so-called "pilot zone," that just include the town of Froun, which they never had controlled because there was no Hezbollah there.

Hamas was under a lot of pressure to accept Trump’s Gaza deal

This is going to be a sector-by-sector arrangement, and as these sectors in Gaza are cleared and Hamas disarmed in them, more and more Palestinian police officers will be placed and put to work.

They’ll be working in association with an international coordination force, the makeup of which has yet to be cleared, but we’ve heard rumors that it could involve the Indonesians and possibly even the Turks, something the Israelis might not be keen on.

The intention is that Gaza would move towards a technocratic government that was promised in the 15-point peace plan.

A lot of negotiations were going on with the Egyptians, the Turks and the Qataris who were talking to Hamas.

There were some obstacles in getting them to a point where they were ready to sign on to this, but it was made clear that financially, things would get a lot more difficult for Hamas, that funding structures could be scrapped. There was definitely international pressure on Hamas to accept this.

This was all discussed when Trump met Netanyahu at the Oval Office a couple of days ago, but the Israelis expressed their concerns. They were worried about how this would actually work, and they weren’t sure that Hamas would stick to the agreement.

The Israelis have rejected the Turkish contribution because of Ankara's long standing position in its support of Gaza.
