20 Civilians Killed by Israeli Toxic Gas at Aid Distribution Center in Rafah
Medical sources confirmed that at least 20 people were killed at the scene, while many others were transported to makeshift hospitals amid a severe shortage of medical supplies. The death toll is expected to rise.
Eyewitnesses reported that American soldiers stationed at the main gate of the aid center deliberately closed the gate as thousands of civilians arrived and then began firing large amounts of toxic and tear gas, causing mass suffocation, particularly among women and children.
According to the Government Media Office in Gaza, the total number of victims near what it described as 'death traps', referring to the American-Israeli aid centers, has now reached 805 martyrs, 5,252 injured, and 42 missing persons.
This incident comes as part of the ongoing genocidal war waged by the Israeli army on Gaza, now in its 649th consecutive day, marked by systematic targeting of displaced families, starving civilians, and those seeking humanitarian assistance, especially children and women. The siege on Gaza has continued for over four months, amid international silence and U.S. support.

Settlers attack Palestinian land and vehicles in the village of Burqa, in the West Bank
DaysofPal—The village of Burqa, east of Ramallah, was rocked by tension and fear Monday after dozens of Israeli settlers attacked violently, setting cars on fire and trying to burn down houses. The settlers, backed by Israeli occupation forces, descended on the village in a coordinated attack that left parts of the area in flames and residents fearing further violence. Villagers said they confronted the settlers as they hurled incendiary materials at cars and properties. A video circulating online showed settlers throwing fire-starting substances at parked vehicles. Several cars were completely burned, and flames spread toward nearby wooded areas. According to witnesses, the Israeli military entered the town shortly after the settlers withdrew and blocked Palestinian civil defense teams from reaching the scene to extinguish the fires. The attackers reportedly retreated to the nearby Tzur Harel settlement outpost. Still, residents of Burqa expressed deep concern that similar attacks may soon follow, especially given the lack of intervention, or even facilitation, by Israeli forces. Military Raids and Violence Across the West Bank While settler violence escalated, Israeli occupation forces carried out widespread raids across the West Bank, storming homes, assaulting residents, and arresting several individuals in a continued campaign of repression. In the eastern West Bank city of Jericho, local sources reported that Israeli forces surrounded a house in the city center. Meanwhile, in the Jenin governorate, a series of military incursions targeted towns and villages, including Kafr Ra'i, Kafr Dan, and Fahma. Homes were raided, clashes erupted, and live ammunition was fired. The raids followed the killing of 20-year-old Yusuf Walid Abdullah Sheikh Ibrahim near Jenin. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the General Authority for Civil Affairs was informed by the Israeli side that the young man had been shot and killed by occupation forces. Later that night, troops raided the home of his family in Kafr Ra'i. In Jenin's Jabal Abu Dhir area, soldiers deployed snipers, raided homes, and briefly detained a young man. Nearby towns such as Kafr Dan and Fahma also witnessed violent searches and home invasions. In the northern West Bank, the city of Tulkarm and its surrounding areas, including Aktaaba, Shuweika, Dhanaba, and Nabi Yaqoub Park, saw a broad campaign of harassment. Soldiers stormed neighborhoods, set up checkpoints, stopped and searched vehicles, and interrogated citizens on the spot. Several people were assaulted, including a child who was attacked while riding his bicycle; his bike was destroyed by the soldiers. A young man was also beaten after troops raided his shop, and another was arrested. Elsewhere, in the village of Hajja, east of Qalqilya, Israeli forces raided with military vehicles but made no arrests. In the central West Bank, occupation forces stormed the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, establishing a military checkpoint at its entrance and raiding at least one home.
