The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reported that Israel has been killing an average of one Palestinian child per day in Gaza since a declared ceasefire in October 2025. UNICEF described the ceasefire as a “cruel and deadly illusion,” noting that Israeli attacks have continued in the blockaded enclave. The agency said at least 265 Palestinian children have been killed since the ceasefire began.

UNICEF spokesperson James Elder told journalists in Geneva that the ongoing deaths expose the emptiness of the ceasefire, which has failed to protect children from Israeli shelling. He cited recent incidents where children were killed in their homes, schools, and public spaces, including while playing football or fishing. Elder also warned that hundreds of injured children urgently need medical evacuation, but Israeli restrictions on essential medicines are worsening infections and complications.

Elder urged governments and international organizations to act, saying that as long as children continue to die, no ceasefire can be considered meaningful.

Eight Muslim-majority countries, including Pakistan, have jointly condemned the escalating attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. The condemnation came in a joint statement issued on Thursday by the foreign ministers of Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, Indonesia, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The statement specifically denounced recent assaults on two mosques north of Ramallah — the Grand Mosque in Jiljiliya village and the Al-Farooq Mosque in Mazra’a al-Nubani village.

According to the source, attacks by illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank have reached record levels. Extremist settlers have been accused of setting fire to Palestinian homes and vehicles, seizing farmland, and attacking mosques. The United Nations has reported that such violence has become a key tool in the forced displacement of Palestinians.

The joint condemnation underscores growing concern among Muslim nations over the deteriorating situation in the West Bank and the increasing frequency of settler violence against Palestinian civilians and religious sites.

Israeli military operations have continued in the Gaza Strip despite a ceasefire that began last October through U.S. mediation. According to the latest data from Gaza’s Health Ministry, 1,005 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire took effect. The ministry reported that ongoing attacks and military actions have worsened the humanitarian situation in Gaza, with civilian casualties continuing to rise and international concern increasing.

Earlier this week, the Health Ministry stated that the total death toll from Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza has surpassed 73,000. The ministry said that the prolonged conflict has claimed the lives of a large number of women and children, while thousands more have been injured.

The newly released figures have raised renewed questions about the effectiveness of the ceasefire and the safety of civilians. Calls from the international community for an end to hostilities and for ensuring humanitarian aid have grown stronger, according to the report.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has voiced deep concern over Israel’s plan to undermine the political and legal status of the Palestinian city of Hebron. In a statement shared on social media, the OIC said Israel’s finance minister recently decided to remove administrative and planning authority from the Hebron municipality over the Ibrahimi Mosque, the Old City, and surrounding areas. The organization warned that such actions violate international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.

The OIC emphasized that Israel has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territories, including Hebron and its holy sites, which have been under occupation since 1967. It cited related UN and UNESCO resolutions affirming this position. Palestinian officials also strongly criticized the move to annul the Hebron Agreement and transfer urban planning powers from the municipality to Israeli authorities, calling for urgent international intervention.

Reiterating its appeal, the OIC urged the global community to take effective measures to preserve the historical and cultural significance of the Ibrahimi Mosque and Hebron’s Old City, both listed by UNESCO as endangered World Heritage sites belonging to the State of Palestine.

The death toll from ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza has reached 72,996, according to a statement from Gaza’s Health Ministry released on June 14, 2026. The ministry also reported that 173,246 people have been injured since the conflict began. In the past 24 hours alone, three people were killed and sixteen others wounded in new attacks.

The statement added that many individuals remain trapped under rubble and along various roads, with rescue teams unable to access several areas. As a result, officials fear the actual number of casualties could be higher than currently recorded. The health authorities noted that damaged infrastructure and obstacles to rescue efforts are preventing timely documentation of deaths and injuries.

The ministry warned that these challenges are worsening the humanitarian situation in Gaza, as the conflict continues to cause widespread destruction and strain emergency response capabilities.

According to a new analysis by Oxfam, 1,244 Palestinians, including 268 children, have been killed in the occupied West Bank over the past three years in attacks by Israeli forces and settlers. Citing United Nations data, the organization said this figure exceeds the total from the previous 17 years, when 1,036 Palestinians, including 225 children, were killed in the same region.

During the same three-year period, 43 Israeli settlers, including 10 children, were killed in attacks by Palestinians, compared to 86 deaths, including 12 children, over the prior 17 years. Oxfam also reported that nearly 46,000 Palestinians were displaced in the past three years, up from about 13,000 over the previous 14 years, due to military operations, settler violence, home demolitions, and movement restrictions.

The report noted that in the first three months of this year alone, there were more than 540 settler attacks, 33 Palestinians killed, and over 2,200 displaced. Oxfam official Bushra Khalidi described the civilian killings in the West Bank as horrific and said violence there has sharply increased alongside the conflict in Gaza.

The Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) has accused Israeli forces of shifting the so-called 'Yellow Line' further inside Gaza City, describing it as part of a broader plan to expand Israel’s controlled areas in Gaza. According to the organization, the boundary was moved in the Tuffah neighborhood, forcing many Palestinian families to leave their homes.

In a statement, PCHR said Israeli forces are intensifying the destruction of remaining houses and residential blocks in the Gaza Strip while simultaneously expanding their military control. The 'Yellow Line' refers to an informal boundary marking areas under Israeli control inside Gaza. Although not officially demarcated, reports have indicated that Israeli forces have fired at Palestinians accused of crossing it.

PCHR claimed that Israel now controls more than 60 percent of the Gaza Strip. The report noted that Israeli authorities have not yet issued any immediate comment on the allegation.

Israel is reportedly attempting to remove historic artifacts from the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound under the pretext of security measures, according to a report published on June 10, 2026. The Palestinian group Hamas has issued a warning to Israel against this move, calling for urgent action to protect the site.

Hamas stated that Israel is targeting historical relics, including the Dome of Musa located in the southwestern part of the mosque compound. The group warned that such actions could further escalate tensions. It also accused the Israeli government of pursuing a policy of 'Judaization' that Palestinians would not accept.

Hamas urged Arab and Muslim nations to take immediate steps to stop what it described as violations against Al-Aqsa. The report cited Al Jazeera as its source.

At least 13 people were killed and several others injured in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza late Sunday night, according to reports. The attacks targeted areas near Khan Younis, Gaza City, and Deir al-Balah, causing significant casualties. The strikes occurred as Egypt began a new round of discussions with Hamas and other Palestinian factions to maintain the existing ceasefire.

The ceasefire, brokered by the United States, has been in place since October 2025, halting major fighting. However, no agreement has been reached on implementing a U.S.-backed plan for Gaza’s reconstruction, Israeli troop withdrawal, or Hamas disarmament. Hamas has stated that ending Israeli attacks is essential for any progress in negotiations.

Since the ceasefire took effect last October, Israeli strikes have killed 947 Palestinians and injured more than 2,900 others, according to the report.

The Gaza Civil Defense reported that at least seven people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza City. Among the dead was a man who was supposed to be married that same day. According to Al Jazeera, citing Al-Shifa Hospital sources, at least 15 others were injured in the Saturday attack, with several in intensive care.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent Hani Mahmoud said that women and children were among the victims. Local medical sources added that another strike in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, killed one person whose wedding was also scheduled for that day. His cousin told AFP that the family had been preparing for the celebration but were now attending his funeral.

Mahmoud further reported that Israel carried out a drone strike on Palestinians sheltering in a UN-run school compound. Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem condemned the attacks in a statement.

Israeli soldiers shot and killed a seven-month-old Palestinian baby in the Tel Rumeida area of Hebron, occupied West Bank, on Friday. The baby, named Sam Fahd Abu Haikal, was struck by a bullet while in his mother’s arms and later died in hospital. His parents were also injured in the incident. The Israeli military said soldiers opened fire believing a car was approaching them, but a preliminary investigation found the victims were civilians. The Israel Defense Forces expressed regret and said the matter was under review.

The baby’s father, Fahd Abu Haikal, a lecturer at Bethlehem University, rejected the military’s account, stating the car had stopped and his hands were raised when soldiers fired. He demanded accountability for what he described as a deliberate killing. The British Consulate in Jerusalem expressed condolences and called for a transparent investigation. The report also cited a similar March incident in the Jordan Valley and data from Israeli rights groups showing few prosecutions in such cases.

According to the United Nations, over 1,000 Palestinians, including at least 240 children, have been killed in the West Bank and East Jerusalem since the war began.

The Health Ministry in Gaza reported that 951 people have been killed and 2,984 injured in the enclave since a ceasefire took effect on October 11. During this period, 782 bodies have been recovered from under the rubble. The ministry said that in the past 48 hours alone, Israeli attacks killed five Palestinians and injured 49 others. Among the dead, two were killed in new strikes, one succumbed to earlier injuries, and one body was recovered from debris.

The statement added that many victims remain trapped under rubble or on the streets, and rescue teams have been unable to reach them. The figures highlight the continuing toll of Israeli military actions in Gaza despite the declared ceasefire.

According to the ministry, the situation remains critical as rescue operations face severe obstacles, leaving uncertainty about the total number of casualties still unaccounted for.

Israeli forces shot and killed a seven-month-old baby in Hebron, located in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The ministry reported that Israeli troops opened fire on a vehicle south of Hebron, injuring three members of the same family, including the infant, who later died.

Palestinian news agency Wafa stated that several attacks occurred across the occupied West Bank from Friday night through Saturday. These included assaults by illegal settlers and Israeli military operations. In Atuf village, southeast of Tubas, settlers reportedly attacked a group of Palestinian farmers and took them away. A local official said the attackers were dressed in Israeli military uniforms.

In Deir Dibwan, near Ramallah, settlers forced entry into Palestinian homes. When residents resisted, Israeli forces entered one of the houses, confined the occupants to a room, and ordered the removal of surveillance cameras.

Hamas has declared that it will not surrender its weapons at this stage, rejecting calls for disarmament. The announcement came through a statement by Husam Badran, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, in an interview with Al Jazeera. He said that a final decision on the group’s arms would be made only after discussions with other Palestinian factions.

Badran explained that when the National Committee for Gaza Administration assumes responsibility for the enclave, only the official weapons of the Palestinian police would be visible in public. He emphasized that this does not mean Hamas will formally hand over its weapons, but rather that non-official arms will not be displayed. He added that the issue would be discussed within a broader national framework.

The statement comes as a reliable source told Al Jazeera that Hamas is preparing to send a delegation to Cairo for renewed talks. The disarmament of Hamas and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza remain key unresolved issues in the U.S.-mediated ceasefire plan of October 2025.

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza over the past 24 hours have killed 11 people and injured 32 others, according to a statement from Gaza’s Health Ministry. The ministry said that many victims remain trapped under rubble or stranded on roadsides, where ambulances and civil defense teams have been unable to reach them.

Since the ceasefire took effect in October 2025, Israeli attacks have killed 947 people and injured 2,935, while 781 bodies have been recovered from the ruins across the Gaza Strip. The ongoing violence continues to strain emergency services and worsen humanitarian conditions in the enclave.

A Gaza-based human rights group, Ad-Damir, reported that more than 9,500 Palestinians have gone missing since Israeli assaults began in October 2023, including around 4,700 women and children, highlighting the scale of the crisis.
