Jeddah (UNA) - The Israeli occupation forces have been pursuing an escalating policy since October 2023, aiming to make the Gaza Strip an unlivable hell by destroying infrastructure and service centers, preventing the entry of aid, bombing bakeries, disrupting and evacuating hospitals, and other war crimes. These crimes have crammed nearly two million people, most of whom are displaced, into an extremely cramped area, thus becoming a repellent area that pushes its residents to voluntary migration.
In the past seven days, 3-9 December 2024, the OIC Media Observatory for Israeli Crimes against Palestinians documented a large number of crimes committed by Israel, the occupying power, through the bombing and storming of Kamal Adwan Hospital and forcing its staff to leave, including Indonesian doctors. The occupation forces also besieged the Indonesian hospital and demolished its outer wall, while Al-Awda Hospital in Jabalia camp was subjected to artillery shelling, thus putting all hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip in Jabalia, Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun out of service. The occupation forces’ massacres targeted Palestinians in shelters in Jabalia, Al-Bureij, Al-Nuseirat and Al-Mawasi. The occupation forces also dug up a cemetery in Jabalia in search of the bodies of Israeli prisoners, and evacuated areas in Beit Lahia.
During the mentioned period, the Observatory recorded 293 martyrs in the Gaza Strip, and 7 others in the West Bank, in addition to 800 Palestinians being wounded. The total number of massacres over the course of just one week was (24), while the number of martyrs from October 7, 2023, to December 7, 2024, was (45470) martyrs, and (112226) wounded.
On the other hand, Israel, the occupying power, has transferred its declared war on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) from within the Palestinian territories to several cities around the world by continuing the misinformation campaign through paid advertisements in the streets of those cities that aim to tarnish UNRWA’s reputation, call for its dismantling, and accuse it of terrorism. UNRWA demanded, through its website, that those responsible for this misinformation campaign be stopped and held accountable.
In occupied Jerusalem, the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque was subjected to daily Israeli raids, while the occupation forces demolished 3 houses, a commercial store, and 4 barns. In the West Bank, the number of houses demolished by the occupation forces was 7 houses in Bethlehem, 3 commercial establishments in Nablus, and 3 barns in Bethlehem. The settlers also burned a house and a grocery store in Nablus, and the occupation forces burned a house and two vehicles in Nablus in an exchange of roles between the settlers and the occupation soldiers who occupied a house in Jenin.
In one week, the occupation forces arrested 185 Palestinians in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, while settlers launched (38) raids on cities, villages and towns in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem. The total number of settler attacks on Palestinian territories during the period from October 7, 2023 to November 30, 2024, was (2621) attacks, with the peak of these attacks in October 2023 with 343 attacks. October 2024 came second with 251 attacks, and May 2024 came third with 225 attacks. The villages of Nablus were the most exposed to these attacks, with 602 attacks during the mentioned period, the villages of Hebron with 592 attacks, and the villages of Ramallah came third with 330 attacks.
In the context of monitoring the period between December 3-9, 2024, the number of settlement activities was 6 activities, ranging from setting up mobile homes and tents on Palestinian lands in Ramallah and Nablus, or plowing, planting, and installing barbed wire around other lands with the aim of seizing them in Hebron, Tubas, and Jericho.
As for the crimes of the occupation forces, they killed an elderly Palestinian after severely beating him, confiscated his car in Nablus, stormed two schools in the villages of Bardala and Barziq in Tubas and the Arab Specialized Hospital in Nablus, prevented Palestinian farmers from plowing their land, confiscated their agricultural equipment, and cut the branches of 60 olive and grape trees.
The total number of crimes committed by Israel, the occupying power, over the past week amounted to (1989) crimes in the occupied Palestinian territory.
