Jeddah (UNA) - The Media Observatory of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Israeli crimes against the Palestinians recorded, between January 27-21, 2025, the recovery of 264 bodies of Palestinian martyrs who were killed in the Gaza Strip, and the fall of 37 martyrs by bullets and shells of the occupation forces in Gaza, the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, while more than 492 Palestinians were wounded in various Palestinian areas, while the number of Palestinian martyrs from October 7, 2023 to January 23, 2025 rose to (48156), while the number of wounded reached (118172).
In the Gaza Strip, it became clear that 95% of Palestinian homes in Beit Lahia had been destroyed and rendered uninhabitable, with displaced Palestinians returning from the central and southern areas of the Gaza Strip to its destroyed north.
In this context, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) confirmed its continued support for Palestinian refugees despite the challenges facing the agency, the latest of which was the closure of the Indian Corner Clinic in the Bab al-Sahira area in Jerusalem due to the Israeli ban imposed on UNRWA, noting that the clinic, which was established in 1948, was part of the health care network for Palestinian refugees.
In the West Bank, the city of Jenin and its camp were subjected to continuous Israeli aggression, during which the occupation forces bulldozed a street and commercial stalls around the roundabout in the center of the city. Israeli helicopters fired machine guns at Palestinians, and drones bombed an empty vehicle and gatherings of people in the camp, surrounded the government hospital with earth mounds, and bulldozed the entrances to the towns of Al-Yamoun and Al-Saylah Al-Harithiya, in addition to bulldozing Jaffa Street, which connects the city of Jenin and its western villages.
The organization's observatory recorded the arrest of 253 Palestinians by the occupation forces in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, while the occupation forces set up 898 checkpoints and obstacles to movement in all areas of the West Bank in a situation that mimics the closures of the period between 2005-2002, through which the occupation forces deliberately prevented direct access between Palestinian cities and villages and eight main roads passing through the West Bank in a plan aimed at paralyzing movement in the West Bank.
The occupation authorities also completely separated occupied Jerusalem from the West Bank.
On the other hand, the occupation army demolished 12 houses and 6 shops in Jerusalem, Nablus and Jenin, burned a house in Jenin camp, and demolished an agricultural room and two water collection wells in Nablus. The occupation forces delivered a notice to close shops in Al-Funduq village from Monday last week until January 30, 2025, in preparation for the demolition of a number of shops.
On another note, the occupation authorities issued a decision to confiscate 15 dunums of Palestinian land around the Al-Zaim checkpoint in Jerusalem, and confiscated a truck and a bulldozer in the Salfit governorate and a private car in Tulkarm. The occupation forces bulldozed a plot of agricultural land with an area of about 30 dunums in the northern mountain of the village of Jit.
Regarding settlement activities, last week witnessed two settlement activities, where settlers bulldozed land and placed a number of mobile homes and arbors, in an attempt to establish a new settlement outpost. Others, near the Ein road in the village of Qaryut, established settlement pastoral and agricultural projects that include a pen for cows and sheep, in addition to planting olive seedlings on an area of about 20 dunams. They also brought an agricultural tractor and other agricultural equipment to the site.
The number of settler attacks on Palestinian towns and villages reached about 51 attacks, during which settlers stormed the villages of Jinsafut and Al-Funduq in Nablus, attacked Palestinian homes, set fire to vehicles, a bulldozer, parts of homes, a nursery, and a carpentry shop on the main Qalqilya-Nablus road, and burned a vehicle in Hebron, and severely beat a number of other Palestinians.
In the town of Nahalin, settlers cut the branches of about 50 fruitful olive trees, while others set dogs on Palestinians in the village of Kisan in Bethlehem. Others stormed the Khalayel al-Loz area and released a flock of sheep onto agricultural land, destroying about 5000 cauliflower seedlings. Settlers stole more than 103 heads of sheep in Jericho and Salfit, while other settlers released their sheep onto Palestinian land to devour their crops.
Thus, the number of crimes committed by Israelis during the period between January 27-21, 2025, amounted to 1630 crimes in various Palestinian areas.
