Jeddah – Between June 10 and June 16, 2025, Israeli forces killed 508 Palestinians and injured 2,347. This was reported by the Media Observatory for Israeli Crimes Against Palestinians under the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Since October 7, 2023, the death toll has reached 56,768, with 136,933 injured.
The report said that Israel targeted the last fiber optic cable supplying Gaza with internet, aiming to cut off the region. Communications and internet services were also cut in central and southern Gaza, Gaza City, and northern areas. This has led to reduced global media coverage of ongoing violence in Gaza.
On the ground, Israeli forces targeted civilians searching for food, especially near American aid centers. Many were killed or injured during these efforts. Israel also attacked the Jordanian field hospital in southern Gaza, injuring a Jordanian nurse. They issued warnings for residents to evacuate areas east of Gaza City before bombings resumed.
The report cited UNRWA’s findings that 2,700 children under five in Gaza suffer from severe malnutrition.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education, Israeli forces have killed 16,245 students and wounded 25,959 in Gaza since October 2023. In the West Bank, 137 students were killed, 897 injured, and 749 arrested. The total number of students killed stands at 16,382 and 23,532 wounded.
Israel destroyed 443 government schools, universities, and educational buildings, and 91 UNRWA schools. Sixty university buildings were completely destroyed. Twenty institutions suffered major damage. In the West Bank, 152 schools and eight universities were stormed and vandalized. Six UNRWA schools were closed in Al-Quds. Gaza students are now without education for the second year in a row.
Last week, Israeli forces arrested 13 children in the West Bank and injured 11 others. They raided Al-Sawiya Village School in Nablus and Al-Nahda Islamic School in Al-Ram, Al-Quds. Raids also disrupted classes in Nablus for all grades.
Israeli forces conducted 257 raids across West Bank towns and cities in a week. They arrested 333 Palestinians. They demolished three homes, 13 tents, and a residential shed. Homes in Jenin, Tulkarm, and Qalqilya were seized and turned into military checkpoints. In Al-Quds, a family’s diwan and a tourist facility in Qalqilya were demolished. Agricultural facilities, fences, and wells in Ramallah villages were destroyed. Land in Hebron, Ramallah, and Nablus was bulldozed. In Ramallah, Hebron, and Bethlehem, five private vehicles were seized. Three bulldozers and a tractor were confiscated in Salfit, Tubas, and Jericho. Settlers burned a car in Qalqilya and stole excavation tools in Nablus and a water tanker in Tubas.
Extremist Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque under police protection. They held provocative tours. Israeli forces shut the mosque gates and banned prayers. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was also closed. Gatherings in its courtyards were banned. Waqf employees were barred from working in the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron.
From June 10 to 16, five settlement activities were reported. The Israeli Antiquities Department began excavations in Hebron’s Old City to prepare a new settlement site. Settlers rebuilt a settlement outpost at Mount Tal al-Batin in Ramallah. A tent was set up near Osrin in Nablus. A new outpost was created in al-Jab’a village in Bethlehem. Lands were fenced off in Khirbet al-Farisiya, Tubas.
Settlers committed 50 attacks in the West Bank. They targeted rural areas, farmland, and grazing fields. In Sinjil, they grazed livestock on private Palestinian land and blocked access. Similar acts occurred in Tubas, Hebron, and Jericho. They burned crops in Beit Ummar, Nablus, Tubas, Salfit, and Ramallah. In Sinjil and Kafr ad-Dik, crops were destroyed. Greenhouses were damaged in Ramin, Tulkarm. Settlers blocked dirt roads near farms in Bethlehem villages, destroyed a barn in Al-Minya, and stole 52 sheep from Tubas and Salfit.
In just one week, Israeli crimes—killings, arrests, displacements, demolitions, destruction, and theft—totaled 3,879 across the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
