Six Palestinian civilians, a couple and their four children, were killed early Tuesday in an Israeli strike on Gaza City, amid ongoing ceasefire violations across the coastal enclave.

Local sources said Israeli warplanes bombed a house in Gaza City's El-Sabri neighborhood, killing six people, including four children.

Civil defense crews faced difficulties reaching the site due to heavy flames. The civil defense later confirmed recovering the bodies of a man, his wife, and their four children, including three daughters.

Firefighting teams and municipal crews managed to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading to nearby homes.

Local sources identified the victims as Firas El-Masri, his wife Salsabeel El-Masri, and their children, Na'eem, Firyal, Salma, and Ameera.

This morning, a Palestinian man was wounded by Israeli gunfire near the Bir 19 junction in the El-Mawasi area of Khan Younus, south of Gaza.

Separately, an explosion followed by heavy Israeli gunfire was reported east of Gaza City, coinciding with a military incursion southeast of El-Zaytoun neighborhood.

Israeli forces also opened fire east of Khan Younus, amid artillery shelling in the area.

On Monday night, four civilians, including women, were killed and others were wounded when an Israeli drone bombed the first floor of "El-Yemen El-Sa'eed Hospital" in Jabalya refugee camp, northern Gaza.

Local sources identified the martyrs as Jameel Abu Shaqfa and his daughter Nour, as well as Shireen 'Eisa and Nour Matar.

Palestinians killed, injured as Israel continues ceasefire violations in Gaza

GAZA, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces continued carrying out attacks against civilians across the Gaza Strip despite claiming to abide by the ceasefire agreement that took effect on October 11, 2025.

Three Palestinians were killed Monday evening after an Israeli airstrike targeted a shelter at El-Yemen El-Sa'eed Hospital in northern Gaza.

Later in the evening, three more Palestinians were killed and several others injured when an Israeli drone struck a jeep near the British Hospital southwest of the El-Mawasi area of Khan Younus in the southern Gaza Strip.

Earlier in the day, an Israeli quadcopter drone exploded near the Shams Chalet in the El-Mawasi area of Rafa'h, injuring a woman.

On Monday morning, Israeli warplanes targeted a civilian vehicle near El-Ghafri Junction in central Gaza City, killing one Palestinian and wounding several others.

A source from Gaza City's ambulance and emergency services said one Palestinian was killed and 13 others, including women and children, were injured in the strike on the vehicle along Al-Jalaa Street.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its crews transferred seven casualties to the Society's El-Saraya Field Hospital, including three in critical condition, following the Israeli strike on the civilian vehicle near Al-Ghafri Junction.

Later, four Palestinians, including one critically injured, were wounded when an explosive Israeli quadcopter drone detonated on Al-Rashid Street, north of Mu'awiya Mosque in the El-Mawasi area of Rafa'h.

In Khan Younus, several Palestinians were injured after Israeli occupation forces opened fire in the Shukri El-Soufi camp near Beer 19, southwest of the city.

The Gaza Ministry of Health reported on Monday that three Palestinians were killed and 22 others injured over the past 24 hours as a result of the ongoing Israeli attacks.

In its daily statistical report, the Ministry said the death toll since the ceasefire took effect in October 2025 has risen to 1,158 Palestinians killed and 3,756 injured. It added that the bodies of 802 victims have also been recovered from beneath the rubble during the same period.

According to the Ministry, the overall death toll from the Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has risen to 73,283 Palestinians, while 173,864 others have been injured.

The Israeli occupation forces have now violated the ceasefire agreement for the 284th consecutive day through gunfire, airstrikes, and artillery shelling, while continuing to expand the so-called "Yellow Line" inside the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian Government Media Office in Gaza: 3,795 Israeli ceasefire violations leave 1,168 victims

Sunday 19-July-2026

GAZA, (PIC)

Gaza's Government Media Office said Sunday that Israeli occupation forces have committed 3,795 violations of the ceasefire agreement as of the 280th day since it took effect.

According to the office, the violations have resulted in the killing of 1,168 Palestinians, the injury of 3,734 others, and the detention of 149 people during the same period.

In a report, the office said only 59,613 humanitarian aid trucks have entered the Gaza Strip, out of the 168,000 trucks that were expected to arrive by this point under the agreement, representing a compliance rate of 35%.

The report also said Israeli occupation authorities have allowed only 9,268 travelers to leave Gaza through the Rafa'h border crossing, compared with 24,600 travelers who were expected to be permitted to cross since the crossing was scheduled to reopen under the ceasefire agreement. This represents a compliance rate of 37%.

The Government Media Office condemned Israeli policies targeting the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, holding the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the deteriorating humanitarian situation and the continued killing of Palestinians.

It called on the mediators and guarantors of the ceasefire agreement to take action to compel Israeli occupation authorities to implement all provisions of the agreement and put an end to the ongoing Israeli violations.

During the past 24 hours, extremist Jewish settlers launched a new spate of violations and attacks across the occupied West Bank, targeting Palestinian citizens, homes, and agricultural property.

According to local sources, a horde of settlers grazed their cattle in the Khillet El-Hums area south of Yatta, before seizing Palestinian-owned wells and diverting their water to a nearby illegal outpost.

Other settlers stormed the hamlet of Khirbet Samra in the northern Jordan Valley, with no reported assaults on residents or property.

Settler groups also released livestock near Palestinian homes in the El-Mahdoush Bedouin community east of Jerusalem and in the 'Halaq El-Rummanah area of Jericho.

'Hamas: Illegal Israeli settler violence will not break Palestinian resolve after Dair Jareer killings

Monday 20-July-2026

RAMALLAH, (PIC)

'Hamas leader 'Abdul Ra'hman Shadeed mourned two Palestinians martyred in Dair Jareer, east of Ramallah, after they were shot by Israeli occupation forces while confronting an attack by settler militias on the town.

Shadeed said the killings were part of Israel's policy of organized killing and terror against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

He praised the people of Dair Jareer for their steadfastness and resistance to the attack, saying their response reflected a firm determination to protect their land and communities.

Shadeed said Palestinians would not allow settlers to attack their towns and villages without resistance, regardless of the sacrifices required.

He stressed that the crimes of the occupation and its settlers would not weaken the Palestinian people's attachment to their land and rights, nor would they succeed in imposing annexation, displacement or settlement expansion in the West Bank.

Shadeed called for strengthening all forms of steadfastness and confrontation, activating local protection committees and supporting Palestinians facing settler attacks.

He said the blood of the slain Palestinians would remain a symbol of steadfastness and resistance, adding that the violence of the occupation and settlers would only deepen Palestinian commitment to their national principles.

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime issues tender for hundreds of the illegal settlement units on the Palestinian land of Salfeet

Monday 20-July-2026

SALFIT, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime (IOAR) has begun implementing a plan to build hundreds of settlement units on land in Salfeet governorate by issuing a tender for 342 new units in the Ariel settlement, as part of the ongoing expansion of settlements on Palestinian land.

The project includes the construction of multi-story residential buildings and was previously approved by the IOAR on May 25, 2025.

Settlement expansion

Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa'ar had earlier proposed allocating $1 million from the Foreign Ministry's budget to develop the illegal Israeli settlement of Peduel  and establish a tourist site known as the "State's Balcony."

Peduel is built on land belonging to the towns of Kafr El-Deek and Dair Ballout, west of Salfeet.

The move came with backing from dozens of US members of Congress, around 250 of whom took part last September in an event organized by the regional council of settlements in the northern West Bank at the Peduel settlement.

The event was held as part of a plan to support the annexation of the West Bank and promote a US bill banning the use of the term "West Bank" in official documents and replacing it with the biblical name "Judea and Samaria."

Strategic location

The Peduel settlement was established in 1984 on land belonging to Kafr El-Deek and Dair Ballout, west of Salfeet, and has seized more than 650 dunums of Palestinian land in the area. It continues to expand from time to time.

The settlement sits on a hill around 369 meters above sea level, overlooking Wadi Sarida and the high-rise buildings of Tel Aviv, about 25 kilometers away.

It is located between Kafr El-Deek and Dair Ballout in an area connected to settlements west of Ramallah and to the Ariel settlement bloc, especially the nearby Eli Zahav settlement.

The settlement separates Salfeet governorate into northern and southern parts and is located near the so-called Green Line, giving it major strategic importance for Israel.

Land seizure

Israel's ambitions have not stopped at the hundreds of dunums seized for the settlement. In April 2022, settlers established a new outpost in the Al-Aqda area west of Kafr El-Deek, on grazing land owned by local farmers.

At the time, settlers seized 13 dunums and placed mobile homes there, about 150 meters south of Peduel. In July 2023, the IOA opened new roads serving the settlement.

In November 2024, the IOAR decided to seize nine dunums of agricultural land in Kafr El-Deek to expand the settlement.

In March 2025, bulldozers belonging to the Peduel settlement leveled land belonging to Dair Ballout, west of Salfeet.

Illegal israeli settlement authorities also deliberately pump large quantities of wastewater toward Palestinian valleys in the Bab Al-Marj area west of Kafr El-Deek, in addition to bulldozing land.

The illegal Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank has surged since Benjamin Netanyahu's government was formed at the end of 2022, according to figures from the Israeli left-wing group Peace Now.

The number of Israeli settlers in the West Bank is estimated at around 750,000, including about 250,000 in occupied Jerusalem, according to Palestinian estimates.

Since the start of the genocide in the Gaza Strip in October 2023, Israel's government, army and settlers have escalated attacks in the West Bank, killing more than 1,000 Palestinians, wounding around 12,000 others and carrying out widespread arrests, according to Palestinian figures.

Asra Media: Female detainees in Damon face psychological and physical abuses

Monday 20-July-2026

GAZA, (PIC)

The Asra Media Office has reported an escalation of Israeli violations against Palestinian female detainees in Damon jail, saying punitive measures and psychological and physical abuses have become systematic, daily practices in the facility.

In renewed remarks on Monday, Asra Media Office accused the Israeli prison service and Damon jailers of using "rotating solitary confinement" against Palestinian women held in Damon jail.

"The prison administration routinely rotates between three and four female detainees in solitary confinement, almost on a weekly basis. One prisoner is taken out and another placed in her stead, a deliberate tactic designed to sustain psychological pressure and instill a constant atmosphere of anxiety and unrest within the ward," Asra Media explained.

"The Israeli prison service does not inform families of solitary confinement decisions, leaving them entirely in the dark regarding the legal or detention status of their daughters. Families receive information only through testimonies from released prisoners or during lawyers' visits," Asra Media added.

Asra Media highlighted that about 94 Palestinian women in Damon jail face subhuman conditions, including overcrowding, humidity, and food shortages, adding that surveillance cameras also invade their privacy, compelling them to wear the hijab at all times.

Asra Media warned that deliberate medical neglect poses serious risks to sick female detainees, citing prisoner 'Abeer 'Awda, held since March, who has lost nearly 20 kilograms after being denied her medication and prescribed diet.

'Awda, who previously underwent surgeries to remove parts of her esophagus and intestines, now suffers from stomach masses. Despite her fragile health, she was beaten in the head by Israeli jailers.

The Israeli occupation authority also extended her administrative detention twice and refused appeals for her release, according to Asra Media.

Asra Media urged international human rights organizations to take urgent action to put an end to Israel's crimes and violations against female detainees in Damon jail.

International digital campaign launched to rally support for Palestinian women in Israeli occupation regime prisons

Monday 20-July-2026

Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), (PIC)

An international digital campaign has been launched to draw attention to Palestinian female prisoners held in Israeli jails, with organizers calling for coordinated social media action beginning July 20, 2026.

The initiative, promoted under the hashtag "Their freedom is our duty," encourages participants to share photographs and stories of detained women, highlight their experiences, and press international media and human rights groups for coverage and intervention.

According to campaign materials circulated by Palestinian news outlets, organizers have urged supporters to translate and share content on female prisoners across multiple languages, publish prisoners' testimonies on social media platforms, and invite others to participate in the coordinated effort.

The campaign specifically focuses on documenting what organizers describe as the suffering and resilience of Palestinian women in detention.

"And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allah has become angry with him, and has cursed him, and has prepared for him a great torment" (Al-Nisa, 4: 93).

"If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, (you do it) to yourselves. Then, when the latter (final) promise comes, they (your enemies) will sadden your faces, and enter the Masjid (in Jerusalem), as they entered it the first time, and will destroy what they had taken over with (total) destruction (Al-Isra, 17: 7). 

While brutal force has been used to create Zionist Israel and sustain it thus far, Zionist claims to Palestine are false. Actually, from the five thousand years of known written human history, there has been a continuous Palestinian-Canaanite presence in the Holy Land. Despite the Zionist false claims, the ancient Israelites ruled part of the land for only 85 years (during the reign of Prophets David and Solomon , peace be upon them, and Solomon's son).

 After that, the Egyptians conquered Palestine-Canaan in 925 BC, followed by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans, before the Arab Muslim rule, starting from 636 AD.

By the Time Jesus, peace be upon him, started his mission, the three population groups of Canaanites, Palestinians, and Israelites were melted together in religion and language. Most of them became Christians when Constantine converted in 313 AD. Then, most of them became Muslims in the 7th and 8th centuries AD.

So, Palestinian Muslims, Christians, and Jews are the ones who have the right to claim descent from ancient Israelites, Palestinians, and Canaanites, not Zionists from other continents.

No matter what the Zionists and their supporters do, they cannot change the will of God, Who promised the Holy Land to Abraham and his descendants, basically the Palestinian Muslims and Christians.

No matter how much persecution and aggression the Zionists and their supporters inflict upon the Palestinian people, they will never be able to force them out of the Holy Land, which Allah, praise to Him, promised for them, and kept His promise ever since.

This is a necessary brief background to understand the US-Backed Zionist Israeli continuous wars against the Arab nation generally, and the Palestinian people in particular, which included the wars of 1948, 1956, 1967, 1978, 1982, the brutal crushing of the two Uprisings (1987-1993 and 2000-2004), 2009, 2012, 2014, 2021, and the current genocidal war on Gaza (Since October 7, 2023), which has culminated a blockade of Gaza since 2007. In addition, the Israeli occupation and apartheid regime launched so many covert operations, raids, and air strikes on many Arab states since 1948.

The following news stories are just examples, not a systematic record, of the Israeli occupation government abuse, mistreatment, and violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.
