A Mother's Grief
{‘This must stop,’ UNRWA says as children die from Gaza cold
Health authorities in Gaza say at least two infants have died from exposure. As we’ve been reporting, that included the death of two-week-old Mohammed Khalil Abu al-Khair announced today. Officials said Israeli restrictions on aid deliveries have made preparing for the rain and cold of winter impossible. “People have reportedly died due to the collapse of damaged buildings where families were sheltering. Children have reportedly died from exposure to the cold,” UNRWA said in its latest statement.
“This must stop,” it added. “Aid must be allowed in at scale, now.”
&  At least 54 Palestinian children killed in West Bank in 2025: Report
Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 54 Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank in 2025, according to a report published by the Defense for Children International’s Palestine (DCIP) organisation. It said Israeli forces used live ammunition during raids across the West Bank, resulting in the deliberate killing of children. The organisation documented multiple cases of children shot during military operations. Among them was eight-year-old Jannat Mutawar, who was shot in the head while inside her home in Hebron during an Israeli raid. The DCIP said she was trying to pull her younger brother away from a window and now faces permanent vision loss. Thirteen-year-old Amr Ali Ahmad Qabha was shot seven times after unknowingly approaching an Israeli military position, the DCIP said. Soldiers allegedly blocked paramedics and his father from reaching him for 40 minutes while he was still alive, allowing access only after his death. The organisation added that Israeli authorities have withheld the bodies of at least 62 Palestinian children from their families since June 2016.
& Two Palestinians detained in West Bank raids
Israeli forces have detained two Palestinians in the latest round of raids and demolitions across the occupied West Bank. One man in his 50s was detained at a home in Azzun village near Qalqilya, according to the Wafa news agency. Another man was detained at a checkpoint south of Bethlehem. As we reported earlier, the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society reports about 9,300 Palestinians are in Israeli detention. At least 3,500 of the detainees from the West Bank remain held as “administrative detainees” without charges or trials.
& Israeli army orders demolitions in Nur Shams
The army says in a statement on X that it has ordered the demolition of “several structures” in the refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. This confirms what local officials said yesterday, when Abdallah Kamil, the governor of the Tulkarem governorate where Nur Shams is located, told the AFP news agency that he was informed of the planned demolition by the Israeli Defence Ministry body COGAT. Faisal Salama, the head of the popular committee for the Tulkarem camp, which is near Nur Shams, said the demolition order would affect 100 family homes. Israel launched Operation Iron Wall in the occupied West Bank in January. It says the campaign is aimed at combating armed groups in refugee camps in the northern West Bank.
& Palestinian envoy to UN says unity of territory must be preserved
Riyad Mansour has warned the Security Council against any efforts to separate Gaza from the West Bank before the long-awaited second phase of the ceasefire. “Gaza is an integral part of the occupied Palestinian territory and of the State of Palestine, as affirmed by this council. The West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip constitute a single territorial unit. Their unity, integrity and status must be preserved,” Mansour said. “Israel must fully and without delay withdraw from the Gaza Strip, as affirmed by this council. This is essential for the success of any international stabilisation force,” he said. He referred to reported comments last week by the Israeli army chief of staff, Eyal Zamir, who said the “yellow line”, which demarcates the area of Gaza still occupied by Israeli forces, is Israel’s new “borderline” with Gaza. “Israel is confessing its aim to transform the yellow line into a border and to partition and annex Gaza and continues to pursue the forced displacement of its population,” Mansour said. “This must end.”
& Hamas official condemns Israeli plans to make Jerusalem army hub
Mahmoud Mardawi has condemned an agreement signed between the Israeli Defence Ministry and the Jerusalem Municipality to establish a new military headquarters in the city. The plan calls for the creation of a 30-storey military complex at the entrance to the city that is to house Defence Ministry offices. It also calls for the relocation of military personnel to Jerusalem, the creation of a military museum and the establishment of related housing. The move is symbolically significant because occupied East Jerusalem has long been envisioned as the capital of a future Palestinian state. Mardawi said the plan “represents a dangerous escalation in the policy of militarisation of the occupied city” and is an effort to change the city’s “demographic features”. He added that it “tightens the noose” on the city’s Palestinian population. He called on the UN and regional powers to increase pressure on Israel to change course.
& Gaza’s Civil Defence recovers 30 bodies from building rubble
The latest recoveries come as heavy rains and new building collapses have made the Civil Defence’s efforts more difficult. Emergency responders recovered 30 bodies today from the Remal neighbourhood of Gaza City. They had recovered 30 bodies on Monday. The Civil Defence said it would continue to search for the thousands of bodies remaining under the rubble, using the limited equipment available due to Israeli restrictions on aid deliveries.
& US official says ceasefire ‘cannot move forward’ until final captive body returned
The deputy US envoy to the United Nations, Jennifer Locetta, has told the Security Council that the ceasefire in Gaza cannot move forward until the body of the final remaining Israeli captive has been returned. The statement echoes the position of Israeli officials, who have said the second phase of the ceasefire cannot begin until all the captives’ bodies have been returned. Hamas has said recovering the remains of Israeli police officer Ran Gvili remains difficult due to the widespread destruction wrought by Israel’s air strikes. Critics have accused Israel of using the situation to delay beginning the second phase of the deal. “The world knows that Hamas and its affiliates knew the location of every hostage, and President Trump was clear as part of the comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflict, every hostage must come home,” said Locetta, the alternative representative for special political affairs at the UN. “Ran’s body must be returned to his parents and siblings. Now, we cannot move forward until he is home.”
& UN special coordinator warns Gaza ceasefire remains fragile after Israeli strikes
The United Nations has warned that the ceasefire in Gaza remains fragile following continued Israeli military strikes, urging all sides to show restraint and seize what it described as a critical opportunity to prevent further escalation. Briefing the UN, Ramiz Alakbarov, the deputy UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, said the ceasefire has “largely held” but stressed that Israeli strikes in Gaza are continuing. He condemned the killing of civilians, including women and children. “The ceasefire remains fragile,” Alakbarov said, adding that it nevertheless “offers a critical opportunity” and that the UN stands ready to support efforts to stabilise the situation. He welcomed the release of captives by Hamas and called for the return of the remains of the last deceased captive.
Alakbarov said the UN is continuing to distribute supplies in Gaza but warned that conditions remain dire. He cited the death of a two-week-old boy from cold exposure as an example of the humanitarian crisis. He said supplies remain critically low and largely stored in warehouses in Jordan, urging Israel to allow “lifesaving assistance into Gaza”. Alakbarov also condemned the removal of the UN flag and the hoisting of an Israeli flag over a UNRWA facility.
& Amid settler expansions, UNSC members say Israel must be held to account
By Gabriel Elizondo - Reporting from United Nations headquarters.
Today’s Security Council meeting is hoping to shed light on new numbers released in Secretary General Antonio Guterres’s latest report. It shows the highest level of settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank since the UN has been tracking this dating back to 2017. They’re really focused on the linkage between the violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians and how it could potentially derail what many diplomats and UN officials are calling a fragile ceasefire deal in Gaza. Right before the meeting started, five members of the Security Council, Denmark, France, Greece, Slovenia and the UK, came out to the microphones at a media stakeout. They called on Israel to abide by its obligations under international law. But going a little further, they said this must be translated into concrete action that addresses the root causes of the violence and holds those responsible to account.
& France calls for investigation into killing of unarmed Palestinians in Jenin
France has called for a full investigation into what it describes as the “summary execution of two unarmed Palestinians” by Israeli border guards in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. Speaking at a UN Security Council meeting on the situation in the Middle East, France’s representative said the situation in the West Bank is “deteriorating severely”, marked by an intensification of violence. He said Israeli military operations were escalating, leading to displacements and human rights violations of Palestinians, and warned that Israeli settler violence was “sowing terror”. The establishment of new Israeli outposts and settlements, he added, violates international law. Turning to Gaza, the French representative said the first step in any peace plan must be the full consolidation of the ceasefire. He stressed the ceasefire must be respected and Israel must allow the UN and its partners to deliver humanitarian aid. France also called for the return of all bodies of captives, Israel’s full withdrawal from Gaza and the implementation of an international force to disarm Hamas. He added that UNRWA must be able to continue its “vital work” as he welcomed the renewal of the agency’s mandate.
& About 9,300 Palestinians remain imprisoned, detained by Israel: Rights groups
The figure includes at least 350 children held in Ofer and Megiddo prisons, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society. At least 3,500 of the detainees from the occupied West Bank remain “administrative detainees”, a special status meaning they are held without charges or trial on suspicion they plan to break the law in the future. Such detentions are typically based on classified information not revealed to the detainee. Another 1,220 Palestinians detained during Israel’s operations in Gaza are classified as “unlawful combatants”, a status which allows for indefinite detention, according to the group.
& ‘Phase two of ceasefire unlikely to start in January’
Yusuf Alabarda, a former NATO officer and columnist for Turkiye’s Aksam newspaper, has told Al Jazeera he is not confident that phase two of the ceasefire will start in January as planned. That phase would concern stabilisation, demilitarisation and reconstruction, as well as the deployment of an international stabilisation force. But Israel has repeatedly signalled it is dragging its feet, he said, pointing to the refusal to move forward until the final captive’s body is returned, as stipulated in the first phase of the deal. “This is only for creating an excuse”, Alabarda said. “Palestinian authorities have many times clearly declared that … due to the Israeli bombings, they do not know where the dead bodies of the captives have been buried.” “It is understandable, because the air bombardment, which was done by the Israeli air forces, was heavier than during the second world war”, he said.
& Israel says killed Palestinian in southern Gaza
In a statement, the military has said the individual “crossed the yellow line” and approached forces in a “manner that posed an immediate threat”. Health authorities in Gaza had previously said that two people were killed over the last 24 hours. Israel has repeatedly violated a ceasefire agreement with Hamas that went into effect on October 10. Under the agreement, Israel withdrew to the so-called “yellow line” separating coastal Gaza from the border regions. In its statement, the military said its deployment in the area was in line with the ceasefire.
& What we know about infant who died from cold in Gaza
Health authorities have identified the infant as 2-week old Mohammed Khalil Abu Al-Khair. He was admitted to the hospital in recent days and was placed into intensive care due to “extreme hypothermia caused by extreme cold”. He died on Monday, adding to more than a dozen casualties from exposure in Gaza so far this winter season. The UN and aid organisations have repeatedly called on Israel to lift restrictions on aid to allow more material for shelters and flood drainage. They have warned that the young and elderly are the most vulnerable to extreme conditions.
& Death of infant shows cold, destruction are lethal combination
By Tareq Abu Azzoum - Reporting from Gaza City
Health authorities have reported that another child has died in Gaza from hypothermia.
t’s important to be precise about why this keeps happening. This baby simply did not die because of an extreme cold wave. Winters here are predictable and known. What has changed this time is that Gaza’s basic protection system has been systematically dismantled. Families are living in tents on wet ground without heating, electricity or sufficient clothing. When food, fuel, shelter and aid are banned, cold absolutely becomes lethal. The rising death toll is raising serious concerns among Palestinian families who have no place to take refuge as Israel is still banning the entry of mobile houses to shelter thousands of families. Instead, they are left stranded as the weather is expected to worsen within the coming hours.
& Israel doubles sentences for 16 West Bank prisoners, excludes them from exchanges
Israeli authorities have lengthened sentences to keep 16 Palestinians from the occupied West Bank in prison for the rest of their lives and have excluded them from any potential prisoner exchanges. The Palestinian Prisoners Media Office said the 16 people are among at least 115 sentenced to life in prison. Four of them were arrested before the Oslo peace accords of the 1990s, it said, adding that the highest sentence includes nine consecutive life sentences for one person and five of the prisoners are suffering from chronic illnesses.
& Severe weather strikes Gaza’s largest hospital
Al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza’s largest medical complex, has been hit by flooding and storm damage as severe weather swept across the Gaza Strip. The hospital sustained extensive damage during repeated Israeli attacks over two years of war, and rehabilitation efforts by the Gaza Health Ministry after a ceasefire took effect on October 10 have failed due to Israel blocking the entry of necessary equipment, according to Anadolu agency. Witnesses said thousands of tents sheltering displaced people were affected by the flooding and strong winds that have battered Gaza since Monday evening.
& Gaza death toll rises
The Health Ministry in Gaza says two Palestinians have been killed and six wounded in Israeli attacks over the latest 24-hour reporting period. Since a ceasefire came into effect on October 10, the ministry said at least 393 Palestinians have been killed and 1,074 wounded. The overall death toll from Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has now reached 70,667 with 171,151 people wounded since October 7, 2023. The ministry also announced the death of a two-week-old infant who died from hypothermia.

storm
& One killed as heavy rain causes building collapse in Gaza City
A Palestinian has been killed and several wounded after part of a residential building collapsed in Gaza City amid heavy rainfall, according to Gaza’s Civil Defence, cited by Anadolu agency. Civil defence teams said they recovered the body of a Palestinian from the rubble of a house that partially collapsed in the Shati refugee camp. Several wounded people were also rescued from the scene. Witnesses told Anadolu that thousands of tents sheltering displaced people were flooded or blown away by strong winds that have battered Gaza since Monday evening, worsening conditions for families already living in precarious circumstances. Gaza’s infrastructure has been severely weakened after months of Israeli attacks, leaving many buildings vulnerable to collapse during extreme weather.
& UNRWA warns of permanent displacement after Israeli demolition orders in Nur Shams camp
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees has warned that new Israeli demolition orders in the occupied West Bank’s Nur Shams refugee camp risk permanently displacing hundreds of people. Earlier, we reported that the Israeli military plans to demolish 25 residential buildings in Nur Shams camp this week. In a statement posted on X, Roland Friedrich, UNRWA’s director of affairs for the occupied West Bank, said the latest order would affect hundreds of forcibly displaced Palestinian refugees, with demolitions expected to begin on December 18. Friedrich said satellite imagery shows that even before the latest order, about 48 percent of all buildings in the camp had already been damaged or destroyed. “This new demolition order fits the pattern we have seen too often this year, with Israeli forces destroying homes to enable their long-term control over the camps in the northern West Bank, permanently altering their topography,” he said.

A mother's Grief
& Israeli settlers shoot dead Palestinian teenager
The mayor of the town of Tuqu, Muhammad al-Badan, tells the Wafa news agency that Israeli settlers have shot a 16-year-old boy dead. The incident took place when large crowds gathered in Bethlehem this morning to bid farewell to another 16-year-old, who was killed yesterday by Israeli soldiers for throwing stones.
Al-Badan said after most of the mourners dispersed, some young Palestinian men remained in the northern entrance area of ​​the town, before a settler exited his vehicle and fired shots at them, wounding another young man in the attack.
& Israel’s ‘blatant, outrageous violations’ threaten ceasefire agreement: Hamas
Senior Hamas figure Ghazi Hamad has said Israel’s “blatant and outrageous violations” threaten the ceasefire agreement.
In a televised statement, he said:
Israel manipulated the terms of the ceasefire agreement, breaking the deal 813 times since the agreement took effect.
Mediators confirmed that Hamas did not commit a single violation of the agreement and fully adhered to it.
The army’s repeated violations are clear evidence that they are planned by the government.
Israeli forces repeatedly crossed the yellow line.
Israel has prevented the entry of aid under the pretext that it was used for other purposes.
Israel is still concealing information regarding prisoners and missing people.
& Which countries voted against UN resolution for Palestinian self-determination?
Earlier, we reported that the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution reaffirming the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination, with an overwhelming majority of countries voting in favour.
In Monday’s vote, 164 states supported the resolution. These eight countries voted against it:
Israel
US
Micronesia
Argentina
Paraguay
Papua New Guinea
Palau
Nauru
Nine countries abstained: Ecuador, Togo, Tonga, Panama, Fiji, Cameroon, the Marshall Islands, Samoa and South Sudan. The resolution reaffirms what the UN describes as the inalienable right of Palestinians to determine their political status and pursue their economic, social and cultural development.
& Fears grow for Palestine Action hunger strikers as friends recall 1981 protests
By Caolán Magee
Friends of Palestine Action on hunger strike in UK prisons have drawn comparisons to the 1981 Irish hunger strikes, warning that detainees may be approaching a critical point as the British government remains silent on their deteriorating health. Jessica Dolliver, a friend of one of those on a hunger strike, Jon Cink, said the situation echoes a dark chapter in Irish history. “I’m petrified for my friend. As an Irish person, the hunger strikes from 1980 and 1981 are ringing in my ears,” she said. “I know that the British government are entirely capable of letting these protesters die in custody without trial. “The hunger strikers have passed a point of no return. Jon’s kidneys are shutting down. I’m scared they will never be the same again.” Ten Irish republican prisoners died in British prisons during the 1981 hunger strike, including elected MP Bobby Sands. Martin Hurson died after 46 days without food. Cink has been on a hunger strike for 41 days. He was arrested over an alleged break-in at RAF Brize Norton, where activists are accused of damaging military aircraft they say are linked to UK military operations in Gaza.
& ‘I couldn’t be more scared’: Palestine Action hunger strike enters day 45
By Caolán Magee
A friend of a Palestine Action activist on hunger strike in a British prison has spoken of growing concern for their health as the protest enters its sixth week. Rowan Wilson said their friend, 30-year-old Amu Gib, has been refusing food for 45 days while being held on remand. “In resisting with the only tool prison affords them, they join a tradition of prison protest that stretches from HMP Bronzefield to Ireland to Palestine,” Wilson said. “I couldn’t be more proud of them – and I couldn’t be more scared.” Gib was among the first of the group to begin a hunger strike. Supporters say eight Palestine Action-affiliated prisoners are currently refusing food across five prisons, with five hospitalised. Gib is accused of breaking into RAF Brize Norton, Britain’s largest air force base, and damaging two military aircraft alongside three other people. Gib has said the planes were used for surveillance flights over Gaza and to transport weapons. Palestine Action, the group linked to the protest, has since been proscribed as a “terrorist” organisation by the UK government. UN legal experts called the decision “unnecessary” and a misuse of counterterrorism laws.

Israel Kills Two Children Every Day
& Israeli army confirms killing Palestinian child for throwing stones
The Israeli army says its soldiers shot dead a teenage Palestinian boy for throwing stones at them in the occupied West Bank yesterday. The army claimed in a short statement cited by The Times of Israel that a “riot” erupted in the area near Bethlehem, and stones were thrown at the Israeli forces. “The troops used riot dispersal means and then opened fire on a main instigator,” the military said, adding that “a hit was identified.” The Palestinian Authority’s Health Ministry identified the victim as 16-year-old Ammar Yasser Muhammad Taamra. Local media showed his family grieving over the teenager’s body today.
& House collapses in Gaza City
The Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza has told Al Jazeera that an inhabited house has collapsed on al-Shifa Street, west of Gaza City. Several people are believed to have been injured in the latest collapse of buildings in the enclave amid the storm.
& Israeli army launches air attacks and artillery shelling in Gaza
The Anadolu agency quoted witnesses as saying the Israeli army launched air attacks and artillery shelling within the military-controlled yellow zone in Gaza this morning. Israeli military vehicles also reportedly opened indiscriminate fire on the northern parts of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah.

We are flooded
& ‘We are flooded’: Palestinians desperate as storm keeps hitting
Thousands of civilians continue to bear the brunt of the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza after more than two years of genocidal war. A displaced Palestinian man was desperate after his tent was ruined by the impact of heavy rainfall last night as harsh weather conditions continue to hit the besieged enclave. “This is our reality, this is our life,” he shouted, pointing to his tent that was overwhelmed with water. “We are flooded… For God’s sake, where is humanity? Where is the [Arab] Ummah [nation]?” he asked. “We are drowned, submerged … what for? For God’s sake, what did we do to deserve this?”
& Palestinian Foreign Ministry welcomes UN resolutions
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has expressed support for the UN General Assembly’s adoption of two resolutions reaffirming the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and permanent sovereignty over their natural resources. In a statement on X, the ministry said the first resolution reaffirms the “inalienable rights” of Palestinians, including the right to self-determination and to establish an independent state along the 1967 borders. The resolution was adopted by an overwhelming majority yesterday, with 164 countries voting in favour, eight against and nine abstaining. A second resolution, addressing permanent sovereignty over natural resources in the occupied Palestinian territory, was also adopted by a large majority. A total of 156 states voted in favour, eight against and 10 abstained. The resolution affirms Palestinians’ calls on Israel to stop exploiting Palestine’s natural resources and recognises their right to seek compensation.
& Qatar condemns Israeli approval of West Bank settlements
Qatar has criticised Israel’s approval of 19 settlements in the occupied West Bank, calling the move a “flagrant violation” of international law and Palestinian rights. Qatar’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying the decision by the Israeli government breaches international legitimacy resolutions, “particularly United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334”, which deems these settlements illegal. The ministry said the approval represents a “blatant infringement on the rights of the Palestinian people” and urged the international community to take responsibility for halting Israel’s settlement policy. Last week, Israel’s security cabinet signed off on plans to formalise 19 illegal settlements across the West Bank, in a move Palestinian officials say deepens a decades-long project of land theft and demographic engineering.
& Gaza families reuse destroyed homes to build new shelters
As winter hits Gaza, displaced Palestinians are breaking apart the concrete rubble of destroyed homes to get to the scrap metal inside. With construction materials blocked from entering, families are reusing what remains of their own houses to build new shelters.
& Israeli settlers wound five members of Palestinian family in Jericho
Violent Israeli settlers wounded five members of a Palestinian family, including children, in an overnight attack on the al-Auja area near the city of Jericho in the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said its medics treated parents and their three girls at the scene before transporting them to a hospital, after they were attacked by Israeli settlers who stormed the area while Israeli soldiers were raiding the city centre at dawn. Witnesses quoted by the Wafa news agency said six Israeli military vehicles were deployed to attack a house in Jericho, with soldiers firing stun grenades in the street. At least one person was arrested.
& Concerns remain over second phase of ceasefire: Analyst
If the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire does not happen, the humanitarian catastrophe in the enclave will significantly worsen, according to analyst Muhanad Seloom. “In order to move to phase two, they have to demarcate the so-called yellow line, which is currently controlled by the Israeli army,” said Seloom, an assistant professor in critical security studies at Doha Institute for Graduate Studies. Seloom told Al Jazeera that European and other stakeholders have concerns about the international stabilisation force that is envisioned to be deployed in Gaza, adding that they do not want to be in combat situations. He said Israel has also continued its military campaign in Gaza while allowing a limited amount of humanitarian aid in, marking more ceasefire violations. “I think it is a military decision at the moment about how to monitor the yellow line, because there is a kill zone of about 500 metres (1,640 feet) around that, and there is a question about how it will be observed,” Seloom said.

Heavy Rains Flood Tents and Hospital
& Another rough night for displaced families as heavy rains flood tents
By Tareq Abu Azzoum - Reporting from Gaza City
The situation is extremely grim on the ground as heavy rain has severely affected makeshift displacement sites across Gaza, where thousands of dispalced families are living in tents made out of plastic sheets, fabric and scrap materials. We saw how the rain flooded large areas, turning the ground into mud and causing the water to leak inside these makeshift tents and damaging what’s left of personal belongings of desperate families who have been struggling to cope with the terrible weather conditions. Residents and displaced families told us that tents are offering very little protection against the rain. There is very limited access to waterproof materials and there is no drainage system. From the early hours of this morning, families have been helping each other by sharing their remaining plastic covers. But they are insufficient, and aid agencies have also repeatedly warned that the weather conditions are only exacerbating the terrible humanitarian situation in Gaza. Israel continues to systematically ban the entry of tents and mobile homes for displaced Palestinians, some of whom are living in partially destroyed buildings that could collapse.
& At least 45 bodies pulled from single building in Gaza City
In Gaza City, the aftermath of the genocidal war continues to surface after the withdrawal of Israeli forces from some of the areas. Palestinian civil defence workers recovered at least 45 bodies from a building on Monday, long after it was destroyed by the Israeli military. “If we had larger excavators, there would be less time in the intervention process,” said Mahmoud Basal, the spokesman of the Gaza Civil Defence. “The issue is that, at this rate, we would need approximately three years in recovery efforts.” Abu Muhammed Salem, a relative of the family that was buried under the rubble of their home after Israeli bombs destroyed it, said he hopes the family can be put to rest. “My wish is that we will be able to recover the last body so that they can be taken to the cemetery in Deir el-Balah, and then we’ll know where they are buried,” he said.
& Israeli soldiers launch violent raids across occupied West Bank
Israeli forces launched a series of raids in several areas of the occupied West Bank over the night and this morning, according to local sources and the Wafa news agency.
Israeli soldiers stormed the city of Tubas and the town of Tammun.
They raided the town of Tuqu, southeast of Bethlehem, entering the home of a child who was previously killed by occupation authorities.
A young Palestinian man was shot and wounded in the knee in occupied East Jerusalem’s ar-Ram, hours after another man was shot in the leg and taken to hospital in the same area.
More raids were reported in the towns of Jenin, Ramallah and Nablus.} more incl. israeli propaganda at Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/12/16/israeli-raids-across-west-bank-as-gaza-reels-from-aftermath-of-storm
