Israeli forces abduct Palestinian healthcare activists in sweeping West Bank raids
——
The Israeli army launched a series of aggressive pre-dawn raids across the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, arresting five prominent female health committee activists alongside 15 other Palestinians. According to local reports, Israeli occupation forces stormed private residences in Ramallah, Nablus, and Hebron to target the women.
The Palestinian Prisoners' Club identified the abducted healthcare workers as Jamila Abu Dahou, Jamila Kanaan, Etaf Bader, and formerly liberated prisoners Maysar al-Faqih and Faten Hanaysheh.
The incursions involved aggressive property searches and the blindfolding and handcuffing of the detainees. Abdul Rahman Bader, the husband of 66-year-old activist Etaf Bader, told Middle East Eye that heavily armed soldiers raided their Hebron home, demanded his wife's identification, and immediately placed her under arrest without providing a legal justification.
Bader stated that occupation forces ransacked their family bedrooms and wardrobes before leading his wife away to a military vehicle. The current location and condition of the five detained activists remain unknown, raising immediate concerns among local human rights groups over the systematic targeting of Palestinian civil society and healthcare networks.
⭕️ Update | The 3 Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes across Gaza on Wednesday have been identified
🔸 Mohammed Naim Jundiya was killed when an Israeli drone struck him near Municipal Park on Omar al-Mukhtar Street, a main road in central Gaza City, a medical source told Anadolu. He was the fourth son in his family to be killed by Israel, according to Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha.
🔸 Tamer Abu Nahel and Saad Dolah were killed, and a third person critically wounded, in a drone strike on a gathering of civilians in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City. Abu Toha identified the two men.
🚨BREAKING: At least one Palestinian was killed and several civilians were injured, including infants and children, in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza City.

NEW: The Board of Directors at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will formally change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist, to broadly exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets. Israeli, American, and Ukrainian journalists who work for state-funded outlets or are embedded with the military will remain recognized as journalists, of course.
The move was catalyzed to appease the right-wing Zionist rag The Free Beacon, which has repeatedly accused Palestinian and Lebanese journalists of being undercover militants or used their political opinions or affiliations as justification for their killing by the IOF.
This is a racist scandal of massive proportions for everyone involved, and it makes a mockery of the purported mission of the organization. It is absolutely abhorrent that the organization’s resources are wasted on this cowardly witch-hunt, at a moment in history that is the deadliest for journalists, especially in Palestine and Lebanon.
Israel has arrested 65 Palestinian high school students in occupied West Bank this year
——
Israel has arrested 65 Palestinian high school students in the occupied West Bank since the start of 2026, including four who were detained after final exams began this month, the Palestinian Prisoners' Society reported on Monday.
The nongovernmental organization stated that the detentions represent “an ongoing Israeli escalation targeting Palestinian students and depriving them of their right to education.” According to the rights group, one of the recently detained students was placed under administrative detention—a practice allowing indefinite holding without formal charges—while another was shot and wounded before being taken into custody.
The organization linked the current enforcement measures to a broader trend of increased detentions across the Palestinian territories. “Since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza, Israeli forces have escalated arrest campaigns targeting students across various educational levels, as part of broader arrest operations that have affected tens of thousands of Palestinians,” the group added.
🚨 Israel strikes Khan Younis, killing two and wounding more than 20

💢 At least six Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip on Monday.
4 more Palestinians were killed and 8 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza on Sunday.
The minimum recorded death toll since October 7, 2023 has risen to 73,058 killed, with 173,488 injured, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
Since October 11, the first full day of the so-called ceasefire, Israel has killed over 1,045 Palestinians in Gaza and wounded 3,380, while 786 bodies have been recovered from under the rubble.
The extensive killing of Palestinian children and teenagers in the West Bank is not a series of isolated incidents. It is a practice backed by every arm of the Israeli regime.
From 7 October 2023 to 29 June 2026, Israel killed 1,087 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 242 children and teenagers.
In 2025 alone, 54 minors were killed. Our new report, “Unshielded Childhood,” tells their stories.
The Israeli legal system helps whitewash these killings, grants impunity to the perpetrators, and shirks its duty to demand accountability from those responsible. The Israeli public remains largely indifferent, while some segments openly support the violence.
To legitimize this routine killing in the eyes of the Israeli public and the world, Israel systematically dehumanizes Palestinians. When the military almost automatically labels Palestinian children and teenagers who posed no threat as “terrorists” or “involved in terrorism,” it creates a reality in which their lives are treated as entirely disposable and harming them is seen as legitimate and permissible.
While the world looks away and grants Israel international impunity, the reality on the ground is clear: under the Israeli regime, no Palestinian is protected, and any Israeli who harms them enjoys full impunity.

이스라엘군은 2026년 서안지구에서 어린이 212명과 여성 109명을 포함해 3천명 이상의 팔레스타인인을 구금하고 있다. 2023년 10월 이후 이스라엘은 23,000명 이상의 팔레스타인인을 구금했다. 이들 상당수는 기소나 재판없이 행정구금 상태이며, 구금 명령은 몇 달마다 갱신된다.
Israeli occupation forces are carrying out a large scale detention campaign in the West Bank during 2026, detaining more than 3,000 Palestinians, including children and women. These crimes are part of a continuing wave of detentions since October 2023, during which Israel has detained more than 23,000 Palestinians.
Palestinian detainees are held in Israeli prisons under harsh and inhumane conditions, including torture, starvation, and ongoing humiliation. A large number of them are held under administrative detention without charges or trial, with detention orders repeatedly renewed every few months.
"Anyone who has served in the Israeli Forces in Gaza since October 2023 should be considered a suspect in relation to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of genocide"
