Hind Rajab
{Group urges Spain to arrest Israeli soldier accused of Gaza war crimes
The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) says it filed a criminal complaint in Spain requesting the “urgent arrest” of Benayau Nahum, an Israeli soldier it accused of war crimes in the Gaza Strip. HRF said Nahum served in the 97th Netzah Yehuda Battalion of the 900th Kfir Brigade, which it said was involved in the destruction of northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoon in late 2024 and early this year. “The evidence in HRF’s possession places Benayau Nahum directly on the ground during these operations,” it said. “It shows his participation in systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure, including homes and public buildings, at a time when Beit Hanoon was already largely depopulated and defenseless.” The Hind Rajab Foundation has sought multiple international arrest warrants for Israeli military members, as well as political leaders, for alleged involvement in war crimes in Gaza.
& Germany’s Merz says second Gaza ceasefire phase must begin now
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has praised the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip following talks with King Abdullah in the Jordanian city of Aqaba. “We share relief that the ceasefire in Gaza has stabilised after more than two months. But now, the start of the second phase must begin. This includes that we finally remove the support base for Hamas’s terror,” Merz said. He called for more humanitarian aid in Gaza before winter. Israel continues to block crucial items such as tents, tarpaulins, and blankets. It also continues deadly attacks on Gaza with more than 360 Palestinians killed since the ceasefire began on October 10. On the occupied West Bank, the chancellor said Berlin is not losing sight of the situation and ongoing settlement expansion, adding, “There can be no steps towards annexation in the West Bank.” Following his visit, Merz flew to West Jerusalem and was welcomed by Israeli President Isaac Herzog. He’ll meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday.
& Israeli forces seize tractor in Qalqilya, occupied West Bank
Israeli soldiers seized a farm tractor east of Qalqilya in the occupied West Bank. The Wafa news agency, citing local sources, reported Israeli troops stormed the northern area of ​​the town of Azzun, east of Qalqilya, and seized the tractor belonging to Palestinian farmer Muhammad Ayman Majd after detaining him for hours. Earlier, Israeli forces arrested five young men from the town of Azzun, east of Qalqilya, after raiding their homes.
& Norway urges swift deployment of international stabilisation force
Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide says the Gaza stabilisation force and Board of Peace must be put in place this month, adding the current ceasefire is “fragile and cannot hold for many more weeks in its current phase”. Speaking at the Doha Forum in Qatar, he said the international military contingent needs to function as a peacekeeping force. The international stabilisation force is envisioned as a multinational unit that would deploy to Gaza to secure the borders, maintain security by helping demilitarise Gaza, to help train police, and protect civilians and humanitarian operations, including securing humanitarian corridors.
What countries will contribute troops for the force has yet to be decided.
& Settlers attack homes in Kisan, east of Bethlehem
Israelis from illegal settlements opened fire on citizens’ homes in the village of Kisan, east of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank. Wafa news agency, citing security sources, reported that settlers under the protection of the army stormed Kisan, attacked Palestinian homes, and fired live ammunition. So far, no injuries have been reported. Kisan has witnessed frequent assaults by Israelis from illegal settlements, including attacks on homes and the theft of livestock.

Qassam Barghouti
Concerns rise over jailed Palestinian political figure Marwan Barghouti
Palestinian groups have expressed “grave concerns” about the safety of jailed political figure Marwan Barghouti after his son reported receiving a call about Israeli guards allegedly torturing the popular leader in an Israeli prison. Qassam Barghouti made the statement on Facebook on Friday, but later deleted the post, saying he was trying to obtain information about his father’s health from relevant agencies. In the deleted post, Qassam said he received a call from a person identifying himself as a Palestinian prisoner, adding prison guards beaten his father severely, leaving him “physically shattered”. The person, who called from an Israeli number, said the guards broke Barghouti’s ribs and teeth and cut off part of his ear for “entertainment”, according to Qassam.
& Rights group decries ‘international silence’ as Israel restricts Gaza aid
Israeli human rights group B’Tselem says the international community has continued to “neglect its responsibilities” as Israel maintains restrictions on the free-flow of aid to the Gaza Strip, including winter essentials such as tents and blankets. The group noted colder winter temperatures and heavy rain have worsened already dire living conditions for displaced Palestinians across the Strip. Last month, about 13,000 tents were destroyed and more than 740,000 Palestinians were affected by storms, BTselem said in a social media post. “Rainwater mixed with raw sewage, creating fertile ground for infection and disease, and leaving hundreds of thousands without basic shelter. Children were documented in summer clothing and barefoot in the cold due to the lack of warm clothes,” it said. “This is the reality in Gaza today: a winter without shelter, profound hunger, and living conditions that continue to deteriorate. This is a direct result of Israeli policy and international silence.”
& Israeli forces arrest 5 men in the occupied West Bank
Israeli forces have arrested five young men from the town of Azzun, east of Qalqilya, in the occupied West Bank. The Wafa news agency, citing local sources, reported that soldiers stormed the town and arrested two brothers, Ibrahim and Muhammad Khalil Sweidan. Mahmoud Tayseer Sweidan, Ahmed Taleb Nassar, and Muhammad Ayman Majd were also detained after troops raided and searched their homes. Israeli soldiers also assaulted the town of Kafr Thulth, south of Qalqilya, with no injuries reported.
& Qatar and Egypt call for rapid deployment of Gaza stabilisation force
The call comes after Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani held talks with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty on the sidelines of the Doha Forum in Qatar’s capital. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a readout of the discussions that the leaders emphasised the importance of continuing efforts to implement the Gaza peace deal, to establish a ceasefire, and to prevent any violations of the agreement. They also called for the Gaza stabilisation force to be set up rapidly in the Palestinian enclave and enabled to do its work.
& What is the ‘yellow line’ in Gaza?
Set out in the agreement between Israel and Hamas, the yellow line refers to an unmarked boundary where the Israeli military repositioned itself when the deal came into effect last month. It has allowed Israel to retain control over more than half of the coastal territory. Since it was first established, the Israeli military has on several occasions moved the boundaries of the line, cutting families off from their homes. It also routinely fires at Palestinians who approach the line, including women and children. Many people in Gaza say it is extremely difficult to know where the demarcation line sits, leaving them at risk of being attacked.
& At least 7 people killed in Israeli attacks across northern Gaza
At least seven people have been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza City and northern areas as Israel continues attacks across the so-called yellow line truce demarcation. Health officials said Israeli fire killed the Palestinians in Beit Lahiya, Jabalia, and Zeitoun in northern Gaza, including a 70-year-old woman gunned down by an attack drone strike....
& Israeli drone chases and kills 70-year-old Palestinian woman and son
Just in the past 30 minutes, there was a confirmed attack by an Israeli quadcopter that chased a 70-year-old woman and her son, 25, as they walked in an area about 1km (half a mile) away from the “yellow line” – deep in Gaza City. They were hunted by the drone that fired and killed both of them. They were left there to bleed to death, and nobody from the surrounding area was able to get to them because the quadcopter was still hovering. This is just one of many violations throughout the day and throughout the past 50 days since the truce came into effect. Many people in most of these areas do not see the yellow line because it’s not clear. It’s not visible. There are no clear markings or signage to show this is the ceasefire demarcation that is a restricted and dangerous area.

Israel’s evolving starvation of Gaza
& Ceasefire death toll hits 367 as bodies arrive at Gaza’s hospitals
Six bodies, including five recovered from the rubble and one new death, as well as 15 wounded Palestinians arrived at Gaza’s hospitals over the past 48 hours.
In a situational update, the Health Ministry said on Telegram that since the ceasefire started with Israel on October 11, at least 367 people have been killed, 953 wounded, and 624 bodies recovered.
Overall, since the war began in October 2023, Israeli attacks have killed 70,354 Palestinians and wounded 171,030.
& Israeli settlers attack Palestinians near East Jerusalem, Hebron
More Israeli settler attacks have taken place in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reports, amid a surge in violence across the area in the shadow of Israel’s Gaza war. Settlers attacked Palestinian Bedouin shepherds near Khan al-Ahmar, east of East Jerusalem, and prevented them from accessing their land. A gang of settlers also released their cows into Palestinian olive fields near the East Jerusalem-area village of Mekhmas before trying to attack nearby homes, Wafa reported. Separately, in the south of the West Bank, Israeli settlers attacked a family in the Khallet al-Natsh area east of Hebron. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops and settlers in the occupied West Bank since the Gaza war began, according to United Nations figures. Analysts say the violence is part of a concerted push to force Palestinians out of their homes and communities.
& Israeli army says 3 people killed allegedly crossing ‘yellow line’
The Israeli army announced three people were killed in two separate incidents earlier. In a post on Telegram, the army said it identified people who crossed the “yellow line” and posed an alleged threat to soldiers. The troops then opened fire and killed three people. Since the ceasefire began on October 10, the Israeli army has killed more than 360 people and wounded hundreds in near-daily violations.
& Palestinians flee eastern Gaza City as Israeli forces launch attack
By Hani Mahmoud - Reporting from Gaza City
Violations of the ceasefire are becoming the daily norm for many Palestinians here. In the past couple of hours, heavy machine-gun fire and the dense presence of drones could be heard where we are broadcasting from. The confirmation we have from a source on the ground is that the Israeli military pushed its tanks and armoured vehicles, along with bulldozers, deeper into the western areas of Gaza City. That’s about 300 to 500 metres (330-550 yards) beyond the original “yellow line”, right at the edge of Salah al-Din Street. That means more areas are under Israeli military control, and it has started to set up these sand barriers, isolating the entire eastern part of Gaza City. People are fleeing from that area into the central part of the city.

Israeli ceasefire violations- Attacks in Rafah, khan Younis and Gaza city
{Former PLO official slams Israel’s plan for one-way out Rafah crossing
Hanan Ashrawi, a former member of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s executive committee, has slammed Israel’s “unilateral decision” to open Gaza’s southern Rafah crossing with Egypt, but only for Palestinians seeking to leave the enclave. The move “is not only a violation of the ‘ceasefire’ but also a disingenuous & cruel tool for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza”, Ashrawi wrote on social media. Israel said this week the crossing would be opened in the coming days, but Palestinians would not be allowed back into the Strip. The ceasefire deal reached last month stipulated that Israel must allow freedom of movement both in and out of Gaza.
& UNRWA chief welcomes General Assembly vote renewing agency’s mandate
Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), says the vote “reflects the broad solidarity of people across the world” with Palestinian refugees. Earlier, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution commending UNRWA for its role in supporting Palestinian refugees. The motion extended the agency’s mandate until the end of June 2029. The resolution passed with 151 votes in favour, 10 votes against, and 14 abstentions, the UN said in a statement. The 10 countries who voted against it were Argentina, Fiji, Hungary, Israel, North Macedonia, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Tonga, and the United States. Israel and its main ally the US have carried out an unprecedented effort to dismantle UNRWA during the Israeli war on Gaza, accusing the agency of supporting Hamas. Analysts say the attacks against UNRWA – the main provider of humanitarian aid and other services to Palestinians in the Strip – are part of a wider attempt to stamp out the rights of Palestinian refugees.
& Nearly 100% of Gaza’s tree cropland destroyed since 2023
An analysis of the impact of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza’s agricultural landscape has found about 98 percent of all tree cropland has been destroyed since October 2023. “Now, after 2 years, we see that most of the greenhouses are gone and the remaining tree cover is largely gone,” Mazin Qumsiyeh, a biologist at Bethlehem University and a researcher on the project, told the science magazine Eos. He Yin, a geographer and remote sensing researcher at Kent State University in Ohio, said the scale of destruction of Gaza’s agricultural lands has few parallels in modern history, including other conflicts he has studied such as Syria and Chechnya. “This is unprecedented damage,” said Yin, the lead researcher on the project. “I have never seen anything like this.” Agriculture made up about 32 percent of land use in Gaza before the war, and played a central role in the besieged enclave’s economy, along with an important part of Palestinian cultural identity.
& Two Palestinians injured in Israeli raid outside of Ramallah
Two people have been wounded by shrapnel and gunfire during an Israeli raid in the Jalazone refugee camp north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian news service Wafa, citing local sources, said clashes broke out as Israeli troops stormed the camp, firing tear gas, sound grenades, and live ammunition. A 45-year-old man was shot in the hand while another had his foot injured by shrapnel, it said.
& UN official paints grim picture of Gaza’s collapsed health sector
We have more from the UN Population Fund’s Nestor Owomuhangi, who described recent conversations with Palestinian health workers in Gaza providing care in extremely dire conditions and during harrowing personal loss. “Gaza’s health system is still standing only because its workers refuse to abandon it,” Owomuhangi said during a UN briefing. He recalled how a doctor in a Gaza hospital’s maternity ward pointed to an incubator holding two premature babies and warned, “Every complication is now magnified by the fear of losing power.” “If the power cuts again, I don’t know what will happen,” Owomuhangi said the doctor told him. A Palestinian midwife said, despite losing her sister and her home in Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, she’s continuing to work because other women need her. “Meanwhile, she has not been paid in months,” Owomuhangi said.

A Grieving Wife-Mother
& Palestinians in Gaza ‘suspended between survival and uncertainty’
Nestor Owomuhangi, the UN Population Fund’s representative to Palestine, says the truce between Israel and Hamas “was desperately needed but it is not an end to the war for women and girls” in the Gaza Strip. Speaking during a UN briefing via video-link from Gaza, Owomuhangi said most Palestinian families in the enclave are living in overcrowded shelters “where hunger and disease threaten daily”. “More than 57,000 households in Gaza are now headed by women. Many of them are deeply vulnerable with no income to support their children,” he said, adding winter rain and flooding have worsened peoples’ suffering. “People no longer ask for warmth, education or proper food. They ask for a tent, a small heater, or a light. Their expectations have collapsed, as devastating as any destroyed building.”
& Israeli assault in occupied West Bank fuels new displacement crisis: UN
Intensified Israeli army raids in northern West Bank areas have caused displacement, school closures, and disruptions to local services, a spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says. “Over 95,000 Palestinians were affected by expanded operations by Israeli forces in the northern area in recent days, particularly in Jenin and Tubas governorate,” Stephane Dujarric told reporters in New York City. At the same time, Dujarric said Israeli settler attacks have continued “unabated” in the West Bank, with at least 1,680 violent incidents that caused casualties or property damage documented by the UN’s humanitarian office so far this year. Settler violence has affected more than 270 Palestinian communities across the occupied West Bank. “That’s an average of five incidents per day,” Dujarric added.
& Israeli ‘suicide drone’ wounds 2 Palestinians in northern Gaza
Israel’s military has attacked the al-Faluja area, near the Jabalia refugee camp, with an exploding drone wounding to people, the Quds News Network reports. The drone strike is one of a series of attacks launched by Israel’s army on Friday despite the US-brokered ceasefire with Hamas. Since the October 10 truce took effect, at least 366 Palestinians have been killed and 938 wounded, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has killed at least 70,125 Palestinians and wounded 171,015 since October 2023.

child amputees in modern history
& Gaza home to most ‘child amputees in modern history’: UNRWA chief
Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), says nearly 42,000 people in Gaza have suffered life-changing wounds in Israel’s war – and nearly one-quarter of those are children. “Gaza now hosts the largest group of child amputees in modern history,” Lazzarini wrote. “With the collapse of the medical system during the war, those with serious injuries struggle to get the treatment + rehabilitation they need to rebuild their lives.” The World Health Organization said in late October about 3,800 Palestinian children are awaiting evacuation from Gaza to get access to urgent medical care.
& US shifts emphasis away from Middle East in new ‘security strategy’
A new “security strategy” released by the Trump administration outlining US foreign policy positions and priorities places less emphasis on the Middle East but notes the Israel-Palestine conflict remains a regional flashpoint. The document expressed optimism over deepening commercial and trade ties and criticised, “America’s misguided experiment with hectoring” Middle Eastern countries, saying the US should “encourage and applaud reform when and where it emerges organically, without trying to impose it”. While Trump has criticised the history of US interventionism and attempts at nation-building in the region, he has continued to provide countries such as Israel with large supplies of weapons and dismissed concerns of human rights abuses by US allies as an obstacle to greater investment and arms sales. The document noted the “Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains thorny” and a “troublesome dynamic” in the Middle East.

A Mothers grief
& ‘The killing of children must end now’: UNICEF
The UN’s child rights agency (UNICEF) says more than 70 Palestinian children have been killed in Gaza since the truce came into effect last month during continued Israeli attacks on the territory. “A ceasefire must translate into genuine safety for children not more loss,” UNICEF said in a social media post.
“Every child has the right to live. The killing of children must end now.”

Palestinians forcibly expelled in occupied West Bank
& Palestinian man killed by Israeli forces in occupied West Bank
Palestine’s Health Ministry says a 38-year-old man has been shot dead by Israeli soldiers in the town of Odala, south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank. The Palestine Red Crescent Society earlier said it treated a man “who suffered a critical head injury” during clashes in Odala and it was trying to resuscitate him. Israeli troops on patrol in the town fired tear gas canisters at a group of people exiting a mosque after Friday prayers, and the man was killed after clashes broke out. The incident is the latest to underscore rising deadly violence against Palestinian communities by Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank.

Yellow Line
& Israeli army confirms deadly attack on Palestinians in north Gaza
The military says the Israeli Air Force launched an attack on two Palestinians “carrying suspicious objects” and who approached troops in northern Gaza. One of the Palestinians was killed in the attack, an army said in a statement. It did not specify what exactly the “suspicious objects” were or provide any additional information about the Palestinians who were attacked. Israel has repeatedly opened fire on Palestinians across Gaza despite a truce with Hamas that came into effect last month. Many bombings have taken place near the so-called yellow line, where Israeli forces have been redeployed in the enclave. Last week, the Israeli military killed two Palestinian children – brothers Juma and Fadi Tamer Abu Assi – in a drone attack in southern Gaza. The army said the boys were “suspects” who crossed the yellow line.
& Germany calls on Israel to cease occupied West Bank expansion
Germany has urged Israel “to stop settlement construction” in the occupied West Bank ahead of Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s meeting with Netanyahu in Israel this weekend. “We are, of course, following developments very closely and have always said that they must comply with the provisions of international law. We have repeatedly condemned the massive violence perpetrated by settlers against Palestinian civilians,” said Sebastian Hille, a government spokesperson, at a news briefing in Berlin. “We reject any steps aimed at annexing the West Bank. We see this as a significant obstacle on the path to a negotiated two-state solution and the implementation of the peace plan,” he added. Hille reiterated that the ongoing settlement construction in the occupied Palestinian territories was a clear violation of international law and “violates relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council”. Tomorrow, the chancellor will travel to Jordan, where he will meet with King Abdullah II before heading to Israel for his inaugural visit on Sunday, during which he will discuss the fragile ceasefire in Gaza with Netanyahu, among other topics.

Marwan Barghouti
& More details on Barghouti
A few more details on who Marwan Barghouti is, following reports that he has been brutally beaten by prison guards in Israel. Barghouti, who is a senior leader of President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah group, is viewed by many as Palestine’s Nelson Mandela. He is serving five life sentences in Israeli prisons on alleged charges related to attacks during the second Intifada, which lasted from 2000 to 2005. Earlier this year, the 66-year-old, who has been subjected to brutal assaults repeatedly, causing bodily harm while in prison, was taunted in his cell at Ganot Prison in central Israel by far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. A video broadcast by Israel’s Channel 12 in August showed Ben-Gvir telling the captive, “You won’t win.” It marked the first sighting of Barghouti in years, with relatives noting his “shocking” appearance caused by “exhaustion and hunger”. Barghouti is regarded as a likely key player in the creation of any Palestinian state because of his ability to unite various political factions. He is seen by many as the last hope for a free Palestine. Fearing that he might die in custody, Barghouti’s family launched the “Free Marwan” campaign. More than 200 A-listers, from Margaret Atwood to Javier Bardem, are lending their support.
& Marwan Barghouti’s son says his father was brutally assaulted by Israeli prison guards
Qassam Barghouti, son of the Palestinian political figure and Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti, has said that he received a call, informing him that Israeli prison guards had brutally assaulted his father, leaving him “physically shattered”. Barghouti’s son said that his father had his ribs and teeth broken and a part of his ear cut off by prison guards “for entertainment” in a social media post that appears to have been deleted, according to The Times of Israel newspaper. The Palestinian presidency said in a statement earlier today that it was aware of unspecified “serious retaliatory measures” against Barghouti, stating that Israeli authorities were “fully and directly responsible” for his safety. The younger Barghouti said that the caller identified themselves as a Palestinian prisoner who had been released, and that the call came from an Israeli number. In a later post, Qassam said that he is trying to obtain information about his father’s state from relevant agencies and contact the person who initially called him, but has not been able to do so. In recent days, Barghouti’s family have said that they fear for his life and have launched a campaign calling for his release.
& Palestinian Authority condemns torture of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons
The office of the Palestinian presidency has released a statement pointing to the widespread torture of Palestinians being held in Israeli prisons and condemning what it called “serious retaliatory measures” taken by Israeli authorities against imprisoned Palestinian political leader Marwan Barghouti.
Barghouti, seen by many Palestinians as a popular figure who could bridge divides within the Palestinian national movement, has been subjected to harsh conditions in Israeli prison, and his family has launched a global campaign calling for his release. “The Palestinian Presidency warned of the serious and brutal violations to which Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons are subjected, which affect their human dignity and threaten their lives in a blatant violation of all international laws and conventions, foremost among them the four Geneva Conventions,” the statement said.
& All you need to know about Israeli military and settler violence in occupied West Bank
As we’ve just reported, a 38-year-old Palestinian man named Bahaa Rashid has been killed by Israeli troops in a raid in the West Bank town of Awarta, near Nablus. Rashid is the latest Palestinian killed in a wave of intensified Israeli military and settler attacks across the area in the shadow of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.
Here’s a quick look at what’s been happening:
At least 1,089 Palestinians, including 224 children, have been killed and more than 10,881 others wounded in Israeli attacks in the West Bank since Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza began on October 7, 2023. Of those deaths, 254 Palestinians have been killed since the start of this year.
Nearly 21,000 Palestinians have been detained in a mass Israeli arrest campaign across the West Bank since the Gaza war began.
As of December 1, at least 9,183 Palestinians were held in Israeli jails, including 3,350 who were being held without charge.
Israel has confirmed that at least 81 Palestinian prisoners died in its jails – though Palestinian human rights groups say the number could be much higher.
Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians have also surged, with the UN saying that this year’s olive harvest season was the most violent in more than a decade.
UN experts and human rights groups say the attacks aim to forcibly displace Palestinians from their homes and communities, as part of a wider Israeli push to formally annex the West Bank.
& Israeli settlers attack Palestinians working on their land near Tubas
Israeli settlers have attacked Palestinians as they were working on their agricultural land in Khirbet Yarza, east of Tubas, according to the Wafa news agency. The head of the Yirza village council, Mukhlis Masa’id, said settlers attacked a number of people while working on their land, beat them, and broke a number of olive trees. Masa’id added that settler attacks against Palestinian citizens have increased as the ploughing and planting of the land start in the rainy season of each year.
& Israeli forces arrest Palestinian south of Nablus
Israeli forces arrested at least one Palestinian from Beita, south of Nablus, after storming the town at dawn. The Wafa news agency, quoting security sources, reported that soldiers raided and searched several homes, arresting resident Muhannad Hamed Muhammad Hamayel.
& Palestinian man shot in head by Israeli forces near occupied West Bank’s Nablus
Israeli forces have shot and injured a 34-year-old Palestinian man in the head during a raid on the town of Awarta, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, according to the Wafa news agency and a medical source speaking to Al Jazeera. He was transferred to a hospital by the Red Crescent, Wafa said. As we reported earlier, Israeli forces have conducted raids and arrests across the illegally occupied territory since dawn. At the same time, settlers have stormed farms near Umm Safa village, northwest of Ramallah, releasing their livestock and raising Israeli flags.

& Israeli ex-army official who leaked Sde Teiman abuse video discharged from hospital
Yifat Tomer Yerushalmi was hospitalised a month ago after overdosing on sleeping pills, according to Israeli media. Yerushalmi has been at the centre of a legal scandal after admitting she had leaked a video appearing to show Israeli soldiers abusing a Palestinian man held in the Sde Teiman detention facility. After the former military officer resigned, she was arrested on suspicion of misconduct and obstructing justice, but then released for 10 days of house arrest. Soon after that, on November 9, she was rushed to the hospital for the overdose. Citing a police report, The Times of Israel newspaper reported that she would be summoned for interrogation in the coming days. Her case triggered an uproar among far-right politicians who accused her of undermining the military, as well as a broader national debate on whether Israeli soldiers should be tried for abusing Palestinians.

& Explosions heard across Gaza
An Al Jazeera correspondent in Gaza has just sent an update on what has been ongoing on the ground today. Here’s a rundown:

A strike also hit near the so-called yellow line in the Tuffah neighbourhood, where artillery shelling continues to target the eastern area. Intense drone activity has been reported over western Gaza City, with intermittent explosions heard throughout the morning.
Central Gaza: An air strike was reported east of the central governorate, specifically near the Maghazi refugee camp.
Southern Gaza: Israeli naval vessels opened fire towards the coast of Khan Younis, while air raids were also reported in the city of Rafah.

& At least 95,000 Palestinians affected by intensified Israeli operations in northern West Bank
Every week, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) issues an update on the humanitarian situation in the occupied West Bank. Here are the key highlights of this week’s report:
Half of the 227 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces or settlers between January 1 and  December 1 in the West Bank were in Jenin and Nablus governorates. Four were killed in the past week alone.
More than 95,000 Palestinians were affected by expanded operations by Israeli forces in the northern West Bank this week, particularly in Jenin and Tubas governorates.
The UN agency documented 1,680 attacks by Israeli settlers in more than 270 communities across the Palestinian territory so far this year – an average of five incidents per day.
The olive harvest continues to be marked by widespread settler violence, with 178 attacks documented in October and November in 88 communities.
& Israeli settlers plough Palestinian land southeast of Bethlehem
Israeli settlers have begun ploughing and planting land in the Khala’il al-Luz area, southeast of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank. Resident Ibrahim Suwaiss told the Wafa news agency that a group of settlers, under the protection of the army, stormed land in the Sababa area, located near Palestinian homes.
Settlers later used an agricultural tractor to plough land belonging to resident Ibrahim Abdul Abayat and others from the Rayyan family, planting it with grains.
The Khala’il al-Luz area has been subjected to repeated attacks and assaults by soldiers and settlers for some time now, with the latest incident including settlers firing shots at homes and injuring a woman due to live fire.
& Art ‘extremely important’ for Palestinians in Gaza, says director
Ahmed Najar, Palestinian-British writer and director, says the cinema project in Gaza, which screens films amid the rubble in Gaza City, is “so important”. “For these children, they have lost almost everything, their schools, their nurseries, their playgrounds. many of them lost members of their families, including siblings, parents,” Najar told Al Jazeera. “To give them that [the cinema project] is so extremely important to help them survive the trauma … to give them a sense of normality,” he added. Najar explained that art “matters more than ever in the middle of a genocide”. “Its a matter of preserving your humanity because the intent here is to strip you of your humanity and identity to justify erasing you and killing,” he said. “So art, identity, culture become extremely important,” Najar added.

& Makeshift movie screenings in Gaza City bring children ‘out of the ruin’
Children in Gaza City, traumatised from more than two years of mass bombardment and displacement, the loss of family, friends and the destruction of their homes and schools in Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, are getting a brief reprieve through a local cinema initiative. Volunteers have set up a makeshift screen in one of the city’s displacement camps to show films, offering children a rare space to have fun and experience moments of normalcy and solace despite the war and ongoing ceasefire violations by Israel. “We’re here trying to present so many activities for children to live in a positive vibe,” said Minass al-Jabour, the initiative’s media coordinator. “So we are trying to make them skip the scenes, the hard scenes that they were living during the war in Gaza.”

& How many Palestinians serving life sentences remain in Israeli prisons?
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office (ASRA) says 114 prisoners serving life sentences remain in Israeli prisons, out of about 600 prisoners who had been serving life sentences. Of these, 503 were released in prisoner exchange deals between Hamas and Israel since the genocidal war erupted in October 2023, the office said. Among the most prominent prisoners still jailed are:
Abdullah Barghouti, sentenced to 67 life terms;
Ibrahim Hamed, sentenced to 57 life terms;
Hassan Salama, sentenced to 48 life terms.
All three are leaders of the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas.
& Israeli forces launch dawn raid, arrest campaign in West Bank
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office (ASRA) has reported that Israeli forces launched raids and arrests in several governorates across the occupied West Bank at dawn. The advocacy group said the operation included the storming of Palestinian homes, vandalising their contents and assaulting residents. A number of people were arrested in the dawn campaign, including Ibrahim Adi Abu Jabal and Qais al-Ajouri from Hebron, and Baraa Raed from Bethlehem.
& German opposition party slams Chancellor Merz’s visit to Israel
German opposition party, Die Linke (The Left), has criticised Chancellor Friedrich Merz for his planned trip to Israel this weekend, where he will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Merz’s trip to Israel is a declaration of war on international law. He is meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu even though there is an international arrest warrant against him for alleged war crimes. A meeting with an alleged war criminal is not a normal state visit,” said Left Party co-chair Jan van Aken. He added that the resumption of German arms deliveries to Israel, which were suspended in August, was “a political scandal”. Van Aken explained that no weapons should be delivered as long as Israel does not publicly support a separate Palestinian state.
& Israeli settlers carry out attacks in Jordan Valley and near Ramallah
Israeli settlers have cut water pipelines in Khirbet ad-Dir in the northern Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank, according to the Wafa news agency. The report quoted human rights activist Aref Daraghmeh as saying that settlers cut water lines from one of the springs scattered throughout the area, which belonged to resident Ammar Jihad Daraghmeh. At the same time, the settlers also set fire to two vehicles and wrote racist slogans during their attack on the village of Taybeh, east of Ramallah.

& Routine violence highlights daily struggles of Palestinian families in Gaza
By Hani Mahmoud - Reporting from Gaza City
Even now that we are supposedly living during a ceasefire, where all forms of violence should have stopped, they’re still happening daily. There is a routine that starts every single night, from eight to 9pm [18:00-19:00 GMT] and extends all the way to the early hours of the morning. The explosions, the drones that hover at a very low level, the fighter jets that patrolled the entire Gaza Strip – all of these are a constant reminder of how difficult and how fragile the ceasefire is and how difficult the living conditions are for Palestinians. But healing and survival practices are things that people do on a daily basis. They’re trying to live and survive these difficult conditions, from sweeping debris, to starting renovating and fixing, or running maintenance on some of the damage due to the bombardment. The biggest challenge – aside from finding water and food – that parents have shared with us is protecting their children and providing the necessary protection, because parents have been telling us that they have failed to protect their children. They did not protect them from the trauma. They can’t protect them from the ongoing fear. So they’re creating small acts of normalcy with bedtime stories, shared meals and games in the streets. For them, that is as important as providing them with basic necessities, the food, the water, the shelter. Because they tell us that over the coming years, this generation is going to be the one leading the community here, and if they’re not taken care of properly, we’re going to be faced with much bigger challenges for Palestinians. The fact that the Israeli military is still conducting these acts of violence keeps the level of trauma high and keeps people more on edge.

Ceasefire - When?
& Israel sets 2026 defence budget at $34bn despite ceasefire in Gaza
Israel’s defence budget for next year has been set at 112 billion shekels ($34.7bn), the defence minister’s office says, up from 90 billion shekels ($28bn) budgeted in an earlier draft. Defense Minister Israel Katz and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich agreed on the defence spending framework as the cabinet began debating next year’s budget, which needs to be approved by March or could lead to new elections. Katz said the military will continue to address the needs of its fighters and reduce the burden on reservists. Smotrich’s office said the 2026 defence budget has seen an increase of 47 billion shekels ($14.5bn) compared with 2023 on the eve of the war. The genocidal war on Gaza and attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon cost Israel $31bn in 2024.
