The Organization of Islamic Cooperation's Media Observatory on Israeli Crimes Against Palestinians recorded record numbers of martyrs during the past week, with 621 martyrs and 1,763 wounded between May 13 and 20, 2025.
The number of martyrs from October 7, 2023, to May 19, 2025, reached 54,941 martyrs and 129,497 wounded. The Observatory also documented the deaths of five journalists in the Gaza Strip.
The Gaza Strip has entered a new chapter of brutal Israeli aggression, marked by the occupation forces beginning to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip by targeting hospitals and destroying its remaining buildings.
They also focused their promises to distribute aid on the southern Gaza Strip while stripping the northern Gaza Strip of its basic necessities. This occurred at a time when the number of martyrs had returned to what it was in the first days after October 7, 2023.
Israel, the occupying power, announced its intention to bring aid into the southern Gaza Strip, confirming that it is pushing the masses of people in the northern and central Gaza Strip southward, with the aim of creating an atmosphere of what is known as "voluntary displacement" through intensified bombing, striking hospitals, or controlling the distribution of aid.
The OIC Observatory documented, between May 13 and 19, 2025, the targeting of hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip by the occupation forces, including the bombing and siege of the Indonesian Hospital, the targeting of the Hamad Hospital for Prosthetic Limbs in the northern Gaza Strip, the bombing and evacuation of the European Hospital in Khan Yunis, the bombing of Nasser Hospital and the evacuation of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex.
The occupation forces imposed a new evacuation plan adjacent to the Al-Rimal neighborhood and the Islamic University, where thousands of displaced people reside, in addition to areas in the south and west of Gaza, as part of their campaign aimed at exhausting Palestinians and pushing them to leave the Strip.
This comes after they had already displaced 300,000 Palestinians for the second time from the northern Gaza Strip, following the destruction of more than 1,000 housing units, as part of a plan to remove the remaining buildings in Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun, and Jabalia.
In the West Bank and occupied Al-Quds, occupation forces killed two children in Al-Quds and Nablus, wounded four others, and arrested nine children. Settlers also assaulted a girl in the Old City of Al-Khalil, wounding her.
The Israeli aggression also targeted seven schools. Occupation forces raided the Bruqin Elementary School for Girls in Salfit and detained approximately 100 teachers at the Hamra checkpoint, preventing them from reaching their schools in the northern Jordan Valley in Tubas.
They also raided the Al-Munjid Private School in the town of Bruqin in Salfit, the Kafr al-Dik Elementary and Secondary Girls Schools in the town of Kafr al-Dik, the Martyr Mazen Abu al-Wafa School, and Rawdat al-Salam, transforming the school into a military checkpoint during their raid on the same town.
