OIC: Israeli Occupation Burn Agricultural Land in 11 West Bank villages
Mohamed Mandour The Organization of Islamic Cooperation's Media Observatory on Israeli Crimes against Palestinians recorded 998 Palestinian murdered between July 1 and 7, 2025, including (992) murdered in the Gaza Strip alone. During this period, 762 Palestinians were murdered, and civil defense personnel recovered 7 additional Palestinians from under the rubble. Data on 223 Palestinians who fell earlier in the aggression were also documented, adding this number to the total number of murdered since October 7, 2023, which has reached 59,033. The number of injured over the past seven days has reached 2,991, and 145,226 over the period from October 7, 2023, to July 7, 2025. According to the OIC Observatory, the occupation forces continued to kill numerous Palestinians among those waiting for aids over the past week. They also bombed a water desalination plant in the al-Rimal neighborhood as part of their deliberate attacks targeting the basic needs of Gaza residents. They also targeted the Abu Asi School, run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), in the Shati refugee camp, and a school in the al-Zeitoun neighborhood. Meanwhile, the United Nations office in Gaza announced that five school buildings housing displaced persons in the northern Gaza Strip were subjected to Israeli bombing on July 1 and 2, which also killed the director of the Indonesian Hospital and his family. During that period, fuel ran out at al-Shifa Medical Complex, threatening the lives of 350 kidney failure patients. Nasser Hospital also announced a fuel shortage, threatening the lives of infants due to the incubators' failure. These developments came as Gaza residents live on only 25% of the remaining inhabited land due to the 'Gideon Vehicles' plan, which aims to seize Palestinian land. In the West Bank and occupied Al-Quds, the occupation army carried out 299 raids on Palestinian areas between July 1 and 7, 2025. These raids included numerous crimes, the most notorious of which was the arrest of 198 Palestinians, including six children, in Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Nablus. The raids also included the storming of a kindergarten in Al-Khalil and the government hospital in Tulkarm. The demolition of 100 buildings in Jenin camp brought the total number of buildings demolished in the past seven days to 132, including 48 in Nur Shams camp in Tulkarm and 58 in Tulkarm camp. The demolition also included a lathe in Nablus, four agricultural facilities, numerous sheep pens, greenhouses, and mobile homes in Nablus, Tulkarm, and Al-Quds, and retaining walls and a well in Ramallah. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

OIC: 73 Palestinian prisoners have died in occupation prisons since October 7
Mohamed Mandour The Organization of Islamic Cooperation's Media Observatory on Israeli Crimes against Palestinians noted an increase of up to 200 detainees above the monthly average prior to October 7, 2023. The number of Palestinian arrests in the West Bank and occupied Al-Quds from October 7, 2023 to the end of June 2025 reached 23,285. The media spokesman for the Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs Authority, Thaer Shreiteh, stated that the total number of detainees in the West Bank and occupied Al-Quds is estimated at 10,500, in addition to more than 2,000 detainees from the Gaza Strip, not taking into account hundreds of cases of enforced disappearance, missing persons, and other Palestinians whose fate remains unknown in the Gaza Strip. It is worth noting that June 2025 witnessed the highest number of arrests in 2024 and 2025, with 1,244 arrests, representing a nearly double increase compared to previous months, when the average number of arrests was between 600 and 900 per month. It is worth noting that the Palestinian Ministry of Health had announced in the past few days the documentation of the martyrdom of 223 Palestinians after their remains were found and their personal information was verified. On the other hand, the Observatory's reading of the situation revealed that the occupation forces' continued daily arrest campaigns with similar numbers does not reflect a spontaneous activity, but rather represent a regular pattern that suggests specific plans, especially when compared to the numbers of other crimes that witness a similar sequence. In response to a question from the Observatory, Thaer Shreiteh declared that 'The number of prisoners who have died in Israeli occupation prisons is 73,' stressing that the majority of them were subjected to medical neglect and torture as part of an announced Israeli policy supported by Israeli military and political circles. Shreiteh explained that the total number of martyred prisoners is 310 since 1967, noting that 'there is another number that the occupation authorities are reluctant to announce, as the death of one prisoner is announced many months after his death and may even take one full year to be announced.' The Observatory thus noted that the martyrdom of nearly a quarter of Palestinians due to torture in Israeli prisons in the last two years, out of a total of nearly sixty years, confirms a clear and negative change in Israeli behavior and the serious crimes committed by the occupation government, ranging from crimes of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement to torture in prisons and the denial of the detainees' most basic rights. Shreiteh emphasized that the Commission of Prisoners' Affairs is forced to communicate with the occupation authorities through lawyers to verify specific names in occupation prisons. He estimated that 'the total number of prisoners in Israeli prisons ranges between 11,000 and 12,000 Palestinians from all Palestinian territories, with no specific number of those arrested in the Gaza Strip.' Shriteh explained that 'there are no accurate statistics on the number of released prisoners who have been arrested,' but he confirmed that 'the majority of prisoners in Israeli prisons are prisoners released in previous years,' or even those who were released at the end of their prison terms. He reiterated that arrest campaigns typically target prisoners who had previously been released. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

OIC: Israel Targets Hospitals, Begins Displacement of Northern Gaza
Mohamed Mandour 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. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies

OIC: West Bank faces 314 incursions, 49 settler attacks
Mohamed Mandour The number of Palestinian murdered in a single week reached 232, along with 839 injured while the number of murdered from October 7, 2023, to April 14, 2025, reached 51,937, with 123,014 injured. The forced displacement of Palestinians by the occupying forces continues in the worst situation in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on October 7, 2025. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation's Media Observatory on Israeli Crimes against Palestinians documented, from April 8 to 14, 2025, deliberate Israeli behavior aimed at exhausting Palestinians through their continuous displacement from one area to another. The occupying forces warned civilians living in the neighborhoods of Zeitoun, Shuja'iyya, and Tuffah to evacuate their places ahead of an Israeli ground attack. The warnings came after a massacre in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood claimed the lives of fifty Palestinians, most of them women and children, amid ongoing shelling of Khan Yunis, Rafah, and the Nuseirat refugee camp. The most prominent attack in the Gaza Strip was the Israeli shelling of the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in central Gaza, which crippled the hospital's ability to receive emergency cases. In addition, the Al-Mukhtar flour distribution point, run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), was bombed east of Khan Yunis. This is aimed at starving the people of Gaza through ongoing war crimes. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) confirmed that the situation in the Gaza Strip is the worst since the outbreak of the Israeli war. Gaza has witnessed all manner of crimes, while the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) revealed that Israeli occupation forces destroyed 94 archaeological sites in Gaza. In the West Bank, the same crimes continued, particularly against places of worship. Extremist settlers continued their incursions into the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, while the occupation authorities banned Sheikh Muhammad Salim, the Imam of Al-Aqsa Mosque, from the mosque for a week. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..

OIC Reports Spike in Israeli Violence First Week of April
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation's (OIC) Media Observatory documented 2,725 Israeli violations against Palestinians Between April 1 and 7, 2025. Chief among them was the bombing of the 'Dar Al-Arqam' school for displaced people in Gaza's Al-Tuffah neighborhood, which killed 31 Palestinians—mostly women and children. The report also highlighted the killing of journalists and the emergence of a video showing the field execution of 14 individuals, including a UN staff member. Additionally, Israeli forces targeted a UNRWA-affiliated clinic, resulting in 55 deaths, again primarily women and children. Meanwhile, settlers torched UNRWA-owned land in Al-Quds. These incidents occurred amid a deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The World Food Programme (WFP) shut down bakeries due to a lack of supplies caused by continued closure of aid crossings. Israel also escalated operations around Rafah—demolishing homes, expanding buffer zones, and asserting control over the Morag Corridor—repeating tactics seen in northern Gaza as part of a broader displacement strategy. In the first week of April alone, the observatory recorded 400 Palestinian deaths and 1,112 injuries. Since October 7, 2023, the death toll has surpassed 51,700, with more than 122,175 injured. In the West Bank, Israeli forces carried out 184 raids, arrested 179 Palestinians, and demolished at least eight homes. Two Palestinian children were killed, three injured, and nine detained. Reports also noted attacks on mosques, including incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque by extremists. Settlement expansion continued with land confiscation for buffer zones and new outposts. Settlers launched 39 attacks on Palestinian communities, damaging olive groves, stealing livestock, cutting electricity, and setting fire to homes and vehicles.
