A young Palestinian man was martyred by Israeli gunfire on Wednesday in the village of Anza, south of Jenin, according to local sources. They said the victim was struck by a bullet in the back and rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition before succumbing to his wounds.Israeli troops raided the village as students were on their way to school. Classes were disrupted and confrontations broke out between residents and the occupying forces. Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) detained three children from the village of Deir Abu Mash'al, northwest of Ramallah, at dawn on Wednesday.Security sources told WAFA that the IOF detained the three children after raiding their homes and ransacking their contents. The same sources added that the IOF stormed the town of Turmus Ayya, northeast of Ramallah, and drove their military vehicles through the streets, raiding several homes, and seizing several vehicles.The Israeli occupation forces continued their incursions, raiding Palestinian homes in the Qarawat Bani Hassan and al-Zawiya, west of Salfit, and assaulting Palestinian youths.

The death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, which began on Oct. 7, 2023, has risen to 65,382 martyrs, in addition to 166,985 wounded. In a statement on Tuesday, the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip said that hospitals in the Strip received 38 martyrs and 190 wounded in the past 24 hours. The ministry pointed out that the death toll and injuries recorded since the occupation violated the ceasefire agreement on March 18th reached 12,823 martyrs, and 54,944 wounded. The number of aid victims, during the past 24 hours, reached 3 martyrs and 15 wounded, bringing the total number of martyrs who arrived at hospitals to 2,526 martyrs, and the number of injuries to 18,511. The death toll from Israel's comprehensive aggression on the Gaza Strip remains provisional, given the presence of thousands more victims under the rubble, as ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them. This is due to a lack of equipment and the occupation forces' targeting of all relief operations in Gaza, amid a catastrophic humanitarian situation that has reached the level of famine.

The death toll from the relentless offensive the Israeli occupation forces have been launching on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023, has soared to 65,344, with 166,795 reported wounded. Additionally, hospitals in the Gaza enclave have received 61 fatalities and 220 injuries in the past 24 hours, Gaza's Ministry of Health reported in a statement on Monday. The statement noted that several victims are still lingering under the rubble and in the roads, as medics and civil defense rescuers have hitherto been unable to reach them. The Israeli all-out aggression against the Gaza Strip, which has been embattled since Oct. 7, 2023, has caused major decimation in critical infrastructure, while Gazans are grappling with aggravated starvation.

Several Palestinians were martyred and injured since dawn on Monday in the ongoing Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip.According to Palestinian news agency (WAFA), medical sources said that a number of Palestinians were martyred and others were injured when Israeli aircraft bombed a house in Al-Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City.The sources added that a child was martyred and others were injured when occupation forces bombed a vehicle east of Al-Zawaida town, central Gaza Strip.Eyewitnesses reported that residents remain trapped inside residential towers in Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City amid continuous Israeli air and artillery bombardment.Since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip in October 2023, at least 65,283 Palestinians — mostly women and children — have been martyred, and 166,575 others injured, according to preliminary figures. Many victims remain under the rubble and in the streets, out of reach of ambulances and rescue crews.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul advocated for the immediate start of efforts to reach a two-state solution in the Middle East, while criticizing the Israeli offensive in Gaza City as completely misguided."For Germany, the recognition of a Palestinian state is more likely to come at the end of the process," the minister said. "But this process must begin now."On Monday afternoon, on the eve of the UN General Assembly, Wadephul plans to attend a conference organized by France and Saudi Arabia that aims to boost support for a two-state solution that envisions Israel and an independent, democratic Palestinian state living peacefully side by side."What the region needs now is an immediate ceasefire, significantly more humanitarian aid for the people in Gaza and the immediate, unconditional release of the hostages," Wadephul said.The Israeli offensive on Gaza City is completely the wrong approach, he added. "Any steps towards annexing occupied territories in violation of international law also undermine the chance of a lasting solution to the conflict." "As far as it may seem at the moment, a negotiated two-state solution is the way to enable Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace, security and dignity," Wadephul continued.

Settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied city of Jerusalem on Sunday, under the protection of the Israeli occupation police. The Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), quoting eyewitnesses, reported that settlers entered Al-Aqsa Mosque and performed Talmudic rituals.The so-called 'Temple Mount' organizations continue to mobilize as many settlers as possible to carry out large-scale collective incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque during the Jewish holiday season.Since 2003, settlers have been storming Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of Israeli occupation forces five days a week. In the past ten years, they began performing silent public prayers during their incursions, escalating to performing Talmudic rituals and raising the flag of the occupying state inside the mosque.The Temple Mount organizations are seeking to gradually impose the presence of Talmudic ritual tools in Al-Aqsa, representing a clear escalation aimed at changing the Islamic character of the mosque.Since the beginning of the comprehensive Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank in October 2023, more than 68,000 settlers have stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of occupation forces, amid tightened entry procedures to the mosque and its surrounding Old City entrances.

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned on Thursday of the danger of provocative Israeli calls to treat the Gaza Strip as real estate for sale, division, or allocation. The ministry considered this a continuation of the crimes of genocide and displacement, and an official admission of the occupation's intentions to completely destroy the Gaza Strip and transform it into a land unfit for human habitation. It also clearly reveals plans to displace its population. The ministry condemned in a statement the Israeli occupation's escalation of genocide and the use of starvation as a weapon of war. It affirms that the Gaza Strip is an integral part of the State of Palestine, in accordance with international law and legitimacy resolutions, and rejects all calls that treat the Strip as a mere empty land, as if it were up for sale or piracy at the auction of racist colonial rulers. The ministry warned of the dangers of international inaction and failure to halt these crimes and protect Palestinian civilians, calling for immediate intervention to compel the Israeli occupation government to halt its aggression against the Palestinian people and to salvage whatever remains of the credibility of the international system and those responsible for implementing its charters and laws.

The State of Qatar condemned, in the strongest terms, the wide-scale ground operation launched by the Israeli occupation to take control of Gaza, describing it as an extension of the war of genocide against the brotherly Palestinian people and a blatant violation of international law.In a statement issued Wednesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that the Israeli occupation seeks to undermine the prospects for peace in the region through systematic plans that pose a threat to regional and international peace and security, including the brutal war of genocide on Gaza and its settlement, colonial, and racist policies based on arrogance, aggression, and treachery. This, the Ministry emphasized, requires decisive international solidarity to compel Israel to adhere to the international legitimacy resolutions.The Ministry reaffirmed the State of Qatar's firm and permanent stance in support of the Palestinian cause and the steadfastness of the brotherly Palestinian people, based on the international legitimacy resolutions and the two-state solution that guarantees the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
