Israeli Rabbi Meir Mazuz was filmed blessing a soldier accused of raping Palestinian prisoners from Gaza [Original post] [Tags: Prisoner Abuse, Murder, Sexual torture, Dehumanization, Human Dignity, Impunity, Radio / TV] [Found by: @Tidameboulet] [Location: Israel] [Archivist Notes] On September 7, prominent Israeli Rabbi Meir Mazuz , with ties to Prime Minister Netanyahu, was filmed blessing a soldier accused of raping Palestinian prisoners from Gaza. Rabbi Mazuz reportedly dismissed the victim's claims and questioned whether such acts are justifiable. What is said : Rabbi Meir Mazuz told the soldier he would be found "completely innocent." "What did you do? Beat the enemy? So what?" the rabbi is seen telling the soldier, who wore a black mask and did not show his face. "Be a brave soldier and do not fear the goyim [non-Jews]. The Torah says: ‘You shall not fear them.’ Don’t be afraid of the United Nations," the rabbi continues. The soldier’s attorney made claims to the rabbi that they had proof the Palestinian victim was lying, saying that they brought medical professor Alon Pikarsky, who previously operated on Netanyahu, to examine the victim. "He [Pikarsky] provided a medical opinion stating the terrorist is a liar," the soldier’s attorney claimed. Israel’s Channel 14 had previously broadcast that medical opinion by Pikarsky which alleges the Palestinian prisoner raped himself. Unbothered by this, the rabbi responds: "And if it were true? Don’t we have the right to act this way?" to which the attorney agrees. Context : Rape Cases in the Detention Center Sde Teiman The case involves ten Israeli soldiers accused of raping a Palestinian detainee at the Sde Teiman Prison in the Negev desert. A shocking video surfaced last month showing Israeli soldiers raping a Palestinian prisoner at the notorious Sde Teiman detention facility.The video, which has been verified by news organisations including Al Jazeera, shows a Palestinian prisoner being taken to a wall before he is gang raped by soldiers shielding their face. Israeli media reported the attack was so violent that the victim was not able to walk after and was transferred to a hospital. Protests, led by MK far-right members and activits, erupted at the detention facility and military courts, attempting to obstruct the investigation. Dehumanisation of Palestinians: The rabbi’s comments and recent footage of Israelis mocking the destruction of Gaza highlight systemic dehumanisation of Palestinians. Israeli leaders have described Palestinians as "human animals," reflecting a pattern of rhetoric that strips them of their humanity. Israel is under investigation by the International Court of Justice for genocide, with over 40,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza. Dehumanisation, a key stage of genocide, enables discrimination, violence, and mass killings by portraying targeted groups as less than human. Dehumanisation precedes genocides throughout history, conditioning societies to accept atrocities by erasing empathy for the targeted group. It paves the way for ethnic cleansing, mass killings, and other forms of collective violence. **Sources : **

Palestinian civilian used as a human shield by Israeli forces searching a natural cave under al-Ansar Mosque in Jenin [Original post] (EXCLUSIVE) Palestinian civilian used as a human shield by Zionist forces searching a natural cave under al-Ansar Mosque in Jenin, in the occupied West Bank of Palestine. FPTV's Obada Tahayne interviewed Issam al-Damaj about his ordeal.

This practice is explicitly prohibited under international humanitarian law (IHL) as per the Fourth Geneva Convention. Use of Human Shields in Israeli Military Practices Depending on whether the IDF is in Gaza or the West Bank, the methods used differ A. The “Mosquito Protocol” (2024) A term reportedly used by the IDF to describe the practice of sending Palestinian detainees into potentially dangerous situations to safeguard soldiers during military operations. Palestinian civilians are arrested, detained and allegedly used as “human shields” by Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to search tunnels and inspect potentially booby-trapped locations during the Israeli ground invasion in Gaza. Civilians referred to as "shawishim," are sent into high-risk areas before IDF soldiers. These Operations are conducted in various parts of the Gaza Strip, including Rafah. IDF soldiers arrest Palestinian civilians, some as young as 16 and others elderly, are dressed in IDF uniforms, bound, and equipped with cameras to explore dangerous areas. Recent investigations and developments (2024) ~ July and February 2024: Reports emerged of Palestinians being coerced into entering booby-trapped buildings or tunnels in Gaza. ~ August 13, 2024 (Haaretz): Allegations from soldiers, commanders, and Palestinian detainees revealed that civilians, including minors, were used to inspect hazardous tunnels and buildings. Israeli leftist newspaper "Haaretz" Investigation IDF Allegedly Uses Palestinian Civilians as Human Shields in Gaza Operations by the Reporters: Yaniv Kubovich, Michael Hauser Tov on August 13, 2024. ~ October 21, 2024 (The Guardian): Whistleblower testimonies and reports highlighted systematic practices in Gaza, including tying civilians, forcing them to wear IDF uniforms, and using them for reconnaissance or shield tasks. ~ October 24, 2024 (CNN): The "Mosquito Protocol" involved forcing Palestinian detainees to enter danger zones. Reports included physical abuse and coercion, with some detainees subjected to beatings or threats. Key Practices and Allegations: ~ IDF soldiers abduct Palestinians included minors, elderly individuals, and detainees? in order to force them to: ~ Enter buildings and tunnels to check for explosives or in Gaza Strip, including Rafah, Khan Younis, Shuja’iya, and Jabaliya. ~ Perform reconnaissance and operate cameras. ~ Serve as shields during gunfire or door-knocking procedures. Soldiers and officers allegedly received orders to implement these tactics, with some expressing moral opposition. Civilians were often handcuffed, blindfolded, or dressed in IDF uniforms. IDF units use coercion involved physical abuse, threats, and psychological pressure. Some soldiers expressed moral opposition, describing the practice as mimicking tactics of organizations like Hamas. The Military Justifications is the safety of Soldiers (Commanders prioritized minimizing risks to Israeli troops, even at the expense of Palestinian civilians) and the Operational Efficiency (Familiarity with local areas made Palestinian civilians useful for identifying threats or navigating buildings). Evidence Supporting Allegations Palestinian detainees and IDF soldiers provided consistent accounts of coercion and abuse. Photographs and Video Footage showed bound civilians being guarded by IDF soldiers. Reports of civilians dressed in military gear with attached cameras for reconnaissance. Human Rights Documentation: Organizations like Breaking the Silence, Middle East Human Right Monitor, .. highlighted the systematic nature of these practices. The investigation includes first-hand soldier testimonies, video footage aired on Al Jazeera, and reports of systematic practices. Despite the IDF’s official denial, which states that such actions are against military regulations, these findings raise significant concerns about violations of humanitarian and legal standards. Soldier Concerns: Testimonies from DIF soldiers and commanders indicate ethical or legal discomfort with the practice, which some soldiers equate to endangering civilians for military advantage. They confronted their commanders about International laws but the answer was the following : "It is better that they explode and not the IDF soldiers" because their live is less important than IDF lives. In one reported case, a 16 y/O Palestinian was kept for several days, given combat rations, and used as humand shield by soldiers to explore a house. He was later released near a checkpoint confirming for the IDF whitnesses htat he was not involved in terrorism but just a civilian. Leadership Knowledge and Military Responses: Allegations that senior officials, including IDF Chief of Staff Herzl Halevi and Southern Command Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman, were aware of the practice. US Reaction: U.S. State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel expressed outrage, stating that the IDF’s actions in the footage “do not reflect IDF values” and are under investigation. B. Neighbor Procedure/Early Warning Procedure: A specific tactic used by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), primarily in the West Bank , where civilians (often neighbors) are asked to communicate with suspects or perform tasks such as clearing buildings. Israeli Military Justifications ~ The military argues that the practice reduces casualties on both sides by avoiding direct confrontations. ~ The IDF pretend civilians are not coerced and face little to no danger, as evidenced by the provision of protective measures like bulletproof vests. ~ Local civilians are believed to be better suited to communicate with suspects and navigate complex environments. ~ The presence of civilians supposedly reduces hostility from suspects, facilitating safer surrenders. Criticism and Legal Challenges The practice breaches the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits forcing protected persons to assist an occupying force. The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit denies approving civilian use in dangerous military operations and claims the reported incidents are under review. The continuation of the practice after HCJ rulings indicates weak enforcement of judicial decisions within the military.Israel faces backlash for the practice, which undermines its international standing and raises questions about its adherence to IHL.Despite legal bans, reports of continued use highlight a lack of accountability within the IDF. Few soldiers are prosecuted, and penalties remain minimal. Disproportionate Risks & ethical concern: The procedure shifts the burden of danger from soldiers to civilians, violating the principle of proportionality under IHL.The procedure exposes civilians to potential harm, even when “voluntary,” and undermines the principle of distinction in IHL.Both victims and soldiers involved in these operations experience long-term trauma. The use of human shields continues to be condemned by international organizations like Btselem and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Documented Cases and Patterns Testimonies reveal that even minors and women were coerced or threatened into participating.Despite the 2005 HCJ ruling, instances of human shield usage have been reported in subsequent military operations. Case of Bilal (Testimony): A child was sent into a house to check for a suspect, showcasing the direct harm and coercion involved. Consequences Chronology of events Since October 2023 Gaza Israeli soldier Yosef Scewekeh from the steel cat combat engineering corps showing how they use Palestinian civilians as human shields in Gaza A video shows Israeli soldiers using a blindfolded Palestinian detainee as a human shield in the West Bank. He is seated on the ground w/ vehicles behind him using him as a shield as an Israeli soldier aim his rifle towards Palestinians May 2024: On May 24, Lt. Amit Nechmya, the Latak platoon commander is seen ordering an elderly man with a partially covered face to move to an unknown location in Rafah. The video was recorded by Sgt Camisa. On October 2024 “Really a nice ending”,This is what Mujinda wrote, commenting on the kidnapping of Palestinians in the West Bank. Before October 2023 Israeli soldiers forced Nidal, 9, Karam, 11, Ahmad, 2 & Mohammad, 2 to stand in front of Israeli military vehicles while Israeli forces fired tear gas canisters, stun grenades & live ammunition at Palestinians confronting the soldiers in Ramallah dci-palestine.org/israeli_forces… Israeli forces have used at least five Palestinian children as human shields in the first part of 2023, according to documentation collected by DCIP. March 2023: Anas al-Khalili from Nablus. “I was used as a human shield by Israeli forces. They handcuffed me & started shooting from behind me. While I was handcuffed, they pushed me down the stairs, they stayed behind me & were shooting at the men… 9 March 2018 Israel soldiers detained ‘Abd a-Rahim Gheith in Jericho & ordered him out the car, handcuffed him & made him sit on the road for 2hrs. Gheith was then used as a human shied, & was hit by stones thrown at the soldiers. Video evidence: 2014 (Operation Protective Edge): Documented cases of Palestinians being used as human shields despite the HCJ's ban. July-Aug 2014: “Israeli soldiers handcuffed & blindfolded us...they made us stand by the windows as protective shields for them. There was gunfire all around us. They made us stand by the window for 9 hours. We were their shields.” - Ramadan Qudeih July-August 2014: “They refused to let us out….I asked for am ambulance for my sister, who fainted, they refused. They held us to protect themselves. -Nazeeha al-Najjar (7:30) July-August 2014: "I was taken prisoner, handcuffed & walked almost at gun point…he made me walk forward and he was protected by me…if any shots had been fired, they’d have hit me. He [the israeli soldier] was right behind me. "The Committee on the Rights of the Child express deep concern about the continuous use of Palestinian children as human shields and informants. 14 such cases have been reported from January 2010 to 31 March 2013 only." The Goldstone Report documented many cases in which the Israeli military used Palestinians as human shields in the 2008-9 war on Gaza, including Majdi Abd Rabbo, Abbas Ahmad Ibrahim Halawa, Mahmoud Abd Rabbo al-Ajrami and others. See p. 218-230 documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/… February 2009: “the officers said I wouldn’t see my family unless i did it…he pushed me w/his weapon, held me by my neck & said go." -Magdy Rabbo. [He had to go back & forth between Israeli soldiers & hamas fighers]. The IDF used Magdy as a human shied. February 2009: “The Israelis would send us ahead...they made me dig holes in the wall & in the houses first to check in case they were booby trapped. We were put in front so in case there was gunfire, we would be [hit].” -Rabbi Abde Rabi, Gaza resident. 2008-2009 (Operation Cast Lead) & 2014 (Operation Protective Edge): Documented cases of Palestinians being used as human shields despite the HCJ's ban. The HCJ fully outlaws the use of civilians in military operations, ruling it as a violation of IHL. Despite this, incidents of the practice persist. November 2002: The HCJ temporarily bans the use of civilians as human shields but allows the procedure under specific conditions, such as explicit consent and minimal danger. , 2002: During the Second Intifada, the "Neighbor Procedure" results in the death of a Palestinian civilian, leading to petitions by human rights organizations to Israel’s High Court of Justice (HCJ). IDF forced Palestinians to walk through buildings suspected to be booby-trapped. it ordered them to enter certain areas before the combat forces...the army used residents as a “human shield” to serve as a shield against attack on those forces (p.230) documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/… the Israeli army took over Hussein Aladi’s home, established an Israeli military base on the roof. For 3 months, they fired every day from there. The army insisted family always remain in the house, to protect the Israeli soldiers in it. Start of Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. The use of Palestinian civilians as human shields during military operations becomes an observed practice.

Chronology On October 23, after 21 days of siege, shelling, massacres, and constant threat on all the health system and the population, the civil defense in northern Gaza has confirmed in a press conference that the entire North Governorate is no longer able to provide humanitarian services. All hospitals, including Indonesian, Al-Awda, and Kamal Adwan, are completely besieged. Many civilians remain trapped in their homes in Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and Beit Hanoun. Civil defense vehicles have been directly targeted, with the only vehicle in the North destroyed by Israeli artillery. The civil defense holds the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the lives of civilians and the kidnapping of their teams, condemning these actions as violations of humanitarian, ethical, and legal principles.

The Israeli government has long been demolishing Palestinian homes and seizing land to expand settlements. Jewish settlers, under Israeli military protection, are being relocated to these seized properties. The number of Jewish settlers in the West Bank, including 200,000 in East Jerusalem, has reached 500,000. While Gaza faces a massacre, the invasion and annexation process in the West Bank accelerates. In Jenin, a major military offensive is underway, with hundreds of troops, armored vehicles, fighter jets, and drones raiding the city, Tubas, Tulkarem, and other areas. Tactics from previous Israeli military operations, such as those used in 2002, are being repeated: killings, arrests, home demolitions, destruction of civilian infrastructure, and attacks on hospitals.
Parents in Khan Younis lining up to vaccinate their children against Polio [Original post] The Polio vaccination campaign has reached southern Gaza Strip, with parents in Khan Younis lining up to protect their children. Over 180,000 kids have been vaccinated so far, aiming for 640,000 by mid-September. The campaign relies on humanitarian pauses [Tags: Hospitals, Water, Humanitarian Aid, Blocking Aid, Local Governance, Sanitation, Water, Living conditions, Epidemic, Infrastructure, Dehumanization, Healthcare System, Siege] [Found by: TRT, Ashraf Shannon] [Location: Gaza > Khan Younis > North Gaza > Southern Gaza > Central Gaza] [Archivist Notes] Context Polio is highly contagious and transmits mainly through contact with contaminated feces, water or food. It can cause difficulty breathing and irreversible paralysis, usually in the legs. It strikes young children in particular and is sometimes fatal. Health crisis: Diseases like polio, hepatitis A, meningitis, and impetigo are spreading due to poor hygiene and destroyed infrastructure, with hospitals overwhelmed and many deaths reported, especially among children. Lack of hygiene supplies : Basic supplies like soap are unavailable for months, contributing to widespread illness. Humanitarian organizations struggle to provide essentials due to movement restrictions and limited aid deliveries. Chronology June 19 : Gaza’s Ministry of Health said it had detected “component poliovirus type 2” in coordination with UNICEF, the United Nations children’s agency June 21 : The Israeli army begins to vaccinate against polio all soldiers operating in Gaza or due to enter there soon , after a high concentration of the virus was found in sewage in Gaza. source End of July : The World Health Organization is “extremely worried” about the possibility of an outbreak of the highly infectious polio virus in Gaza after traces were found in wastewater. Immunisation rates in Gaza and the occupied West Bank were optimal before the conflict. Polio vaccine coverage was estimated at 99% in 2022, although it had declined to 89% last year, according to the latest data. the “decimation” of Gaza health system" - with only 16 out of the territory's 36 hospitals partially functional - as well as the "lack of security, access obstruction, constant population displacement, shortages of medical supplies, poor quality of water and weakened sanitation" have contributed to reduce immunisation rates and increase the risk of diseases spreading. First case at the end of July : According to the WHO, a 10-month-old baby had been paralysed by the type-2 strand of the virus - the first case in Gaza in 25 years. Augustus 29 : Israel and Hamas have agreed to brief ceasefires in parts of Gaza to allow the safe distribution of the polio vaccine, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). These pauses will begin Sunday and occur in three phases: central Gaza first, then the south, and finally the north. Each pause will last three days, from 6am to 3pm, and may extend to a fourth day if necessary. Vaccination Campaign planning The WHO and partners are launching a campaign to vaccinate 640,000 children in Gaza against polio, despite the ongoing war and damaged healthcare system. Timeline by Phased Approach : A three-day campaign will start Sunday in central Gaza during a "humanitarian pause" from 6am to 3pm, with potential extensions. It will later move to southern and northern Gaza during similar pauses. Campaign Duration and Goals : The campaign will last three days in each zone, with a potential fourth day if needed. The goal is to vaccinate over 640,000 children under 10 across Gaza in two rounds, with the second dose administered in four weeks. Vaccination Sites : Around 160 sites, including medical centers, hospitals, and schools, are designated for vaccinations, mainly in Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah. Challenges : Significant obstacles include damaged infrastructure—65% of roads are affected and 19 of 36 hospitals are out of service. Security concerns have also halted aid group movements.The campaign is described as a "massive effort" involving thousands of workers, with significant planning and preparation. Health Worker Involvement : Over 2,180 health and community outreach workers are involved, working through 392 fixed points and almost 300 mobile teams. September 8 Director of field hospitals in Gaza Strip, Dr. Marwan Al-Hamas : The Ministry of Health decides to extend the polio vaccination campaign for an additional day in order to reach the largest number of children under the age of ten. source Progress of Emergency Polio Vaccination Campaign: Phase I: The campaign began on 1 September in central Gaza, reaching nearly 87,000 children on the first day Humanitarian Pauses : Area-specific pauses in fighting have allowed the vaccination efforts to proceed. These pauses are critical for ensuring safe access to health facilities for children and outreach workers. It was already broken in several places. Some incidents happens in Central Gaza Strip during the first days of the campaign. source Following the completion of the first phase of the polio vaccination campaign yesterday, conducted in areas with temporary ceasefire pauses, Palestinians are questioning when the ongoing Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip will end.

Source Dr. Munir Al-Barash, Director General of the Ministry of Health : The occupation is obstructing the entry of the convoy of medicines and polio vaccinations, which leads to the failure to start the vaccination campaign in northern Gaza. Source Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor : The occupation army’s arrest of a UN mission yesterday and interrogation of its members as they moved from the southern Gaza Strip to the north clearly demonstrates its intention to disrupt humanitarian and relief efforts. Cynical context of this humanitarian campaign Gazans feel like they are part of a "dark game," constantly moving to avoid bombings while still facing risks. Pauses for polio vaccination are set in specific areas, with both stationary and mobile points available for people to get the vaccine, but accessing them is very difficult. There is skepticism among medical staff about the success of the vaccination campaign, with some believing Israel is using it as a smokescreen to claim it allows humanitarian aid, while larger issues remain unaddressed. Humanitarian aid is barely reaching Gaza, with significantly diminished levels of assistance and a growing number of people in need. Aid organizations face numerous obstacles, such as not being allowed to move essential supplies (e.g., vegetables, hygiene kits) between different parts of Gaza despite severe shortages. Conditions in Gaza are described as inhumane, with people barely surviving. "Now, in the north of Gaza, there is no vegetables on the commercial market, but, ironically, hygiene kits are getting in to the north. What we are not permitted to do is move vegetables from the south to the north, where they’re needed, or hygiene kits from the north to the south. And this is just one sort of example of the various different hurdles and obstacles that are deliberately being placed (by Israel) in our way."

[Tags: Raid, Blocking Ambulances, Sniper Rifle, Murder, Living conditions, Dehumanization, Terror, Human Dignity, Impunity, Children] [Found by: Eye on Palestine] [Location: West Bank > Jenin > Kafr Dan] [Archivist Notes] Assassination of 16-Year-Old Lujain Osama Musleh Incident Details: On September 3, 2024, 16-year-old Lujain Osama Musleh was shot and killed by an Israeli sniper while looking out of the window of her home in Kafr Dan, near Jenin, West Bank. According to her father, Lujain was shot through the forehead as she opened a curtain in her home. She had no involvement in any violent activity. Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its crews transported a 16-year-old girl who was fatally shot by Israeli forces’ live bullets in the village of Kafr. Israeli forces prevented ambulance crews’ access to the site for over half an hour and left the girl to bleed to death. Another youth was also injured in the thigh by the Israeli forces’ live fire : Mohammad Abdullah Mohammad Kanaan, 14, was shot and killed by an Israeli sniper around 4:40 a.m in Tulkram entrance Camp. Context of "Operation Summer Camp" "Operation Summer Camp" is a large-scale military incursion launched by Israeli forces on August 28, 2024, involving hundreds of soldiers and armored vehicles. It targeted towns and refugee camps in the northern occupied West Bank, including Jenin and Tulkarem.The operation i s described as one of the most severe incursions since the Gaza war began a year ago. It has led to the deaths of over 30 Palestinians, including civilians, children, and elderly people. Governor Kamal Abu al-Rub described the operation as extremely oppressive, with 4,000-5,000 people displaced from their homes in Jenin and nearby refugee camps. The incursion has caused severe shortages of food and water, and aid deliveries have been delayed due to arbitrary controls imposed by Israeli forces. During the military operations, Israeli forces have taken control of Palestinian homes to use as military bases, often stationing snipers on rooftops. Bulldozers destroyed vital civil infrastructure, including water networks, leading to power outages in many neighborhoods around Jenin. Israeli forces also surrounded hospitals and obstructed ambulance movement, delaying critical medical assistance to those injured. Events Leading to Lujain’s murder On September 2, 2024, Israeli forces entered Kafr Dan, northwest of Jenin, prompting confrontations with Palestinian fighters. The soldiers surrounded a neighboring house in an attempt to apprehend a wanted Palestinian man. At approximately 2:10 p.m., Lujain, who was inside her home, 50 meters from the besieged house, was shot by an Israeli sniper. Israeli forces blocked an ambulance from accessing Lujain’s home for about 10 minutes. She was later pronounced dead at Jenin Governmental Hospital. **Folowing Defense for Children International Palestine Lujain is the third Palestinian girl killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank in 2024, according to DCIP (Defense for Children International Palestine). In total, 75 Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank in 2024, including two U.S. citizens. Since the October 7, 2024 escalation in Gaza, 156 Palestinian children have been killed in West Bank. In 2023 alone, 121 Palestinian children were killed by Israeli forces and settlers, most by live ammunition. Other children were killed by drone strikes and missile attacks. Lethal Force Against Civilians Under international law, intentional lethal force is only justified when there is a direct threat to life. However, evidence collected by DCIP indicates that Israeli forces often use lethal force in ways that suggest extrajudicial or willful killings. Since the Gaza war began, more than 680 Palestinians, both civilians and fighters, have been killed in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Israeli Military Response: The Israeli military claimed they were investigating the incident, alleging that they fired back at a suspect who had been observing them. This statement came amidst a broader military operation, but Lujain’s death raises concerns about the rules of engagement used by Israeli forces in occupied territories. Criticism from international human rights organizations: While the Israeli military claims to investigate these killings, the ongoing pattern of violence, especially against minors, has drawn significant criticism from international human rights organizations.

It was depopulated during the Nakba on May, 1948 by the Harel Brigade in Operation Makkabi. It was located 9 km west of Jerusalem. In 1945, the village had a population of 2,400. Bayt Mahsir had three schools; two schools for boys and an elementary school for girls. Bayt Mahsir contains a number of khirbat, including al-Huwaytiyya, al-Masi, Khatula and al-Sallam. According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are: "Several village houses have been spared, and are for the most part interspersed among the houses of the settlement of Beit Meir. Two large, rectangular-shaped, almost identical houses built of limestone rise above the Israeli settlement's cabin-like residences. The remains of a flour mill, a metal machine with flywheels fitted over a stone structure, can still be seen. There is a wild forest of old trees on the eastern edge of the village site, on top of the mountain. The tomb of al-' Ajami, together with other graves, are among the trees." Source

According to her father, Lujain was shot through the forehead as she opened a curtain in her home. She had no involvement in any violent activity. Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its crews transported a 16-year-old girl who was fatally shot by Israeli forces’ live bullets in the village of Kafr.

Context of "Operation Summer Camp" "Operation Summer Camp" is a large-scale military incursion launched by Israeli forces on August 28, 2024, involving hundreds of soldiers and armored vehicles. It targeted towns and refugee camps in the northern occupied West Bank, including Jenin and Tulkarem.The operation i s described as one of the most severe incursions since the Gaza war began a year ago. It has led to the deaths of over 30 Palestinians, including civilians, children, and elderly people. Governor Kamal Abu al-Rub described the operation as extremely oppressive, with 4,000-5,000 people displaced from their homes in Jenin and nearby refugee camps. The incursion has caused severe shortages of food and water, and aid deliveries have been delayed due to arbitrary controls imposed by Israeli forces. During the military operations, Israeli forces have taken control of Palestinian homes to use as military bases, often stationing snipers on rooftops. Bulldozers destroyed vital civil infrastructure, including water networks, leading to power outages in many neighborhoods around Jenin. Israeli forces also surrounded hospitals and obstructed ambulance movement, delaying critical medical assistance to those injured. Events Leading to Lujain’s murder On September 2, 2024, Israeli forces entered Kafr Dan, northwest of Jenin, prompting confrontations with Palestinian fighters. The soldiers surrounded a neighboring house in an attempt to apprehend a wanted Palestinian man. At approximately 2:10 p.m., Lujain, who was inside her home, 50 meters from the besieged house, was shot by an Israeli sniper. Israeli forces blocked an ambulance from accessing Lujain’s home for about 10 minutes. She was later pronounced dead at Jenin Governmental Hospital. **Folowing Defense for Children International Palestine Lujain is the third Palestinian girl killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank in 2024, according to DCIP (Defense for Children International Palestine). In total, 75 Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank in 2024, including two U.S. citizens. Since the October 7, 2024 escalation in Gaza, 156 Palestinian children have been killed in West Bank. In 2023 alone, 121 Palestinian children were killed by Israeli forces and settlers, most by live ammunition. Other children were killed by drone strikes and missile attacks. Lethal Force Against Civilians Under international law, intentional lethal force is only justified when there is a direct threat to life. However, evidence collected by DCIP indicates that Israeli forces often use lethal force in ways that suggest extrajudicial or willful killings. Since the Gaza war began, more than 680 Palestinians, both civilians and fighters, have been killed in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Israeli Military Response: The Israeli military claimed they were investigating the incident, alleging that they fired back at a suspect who had been observing them. This statement came amidst a broader military operation, but Lujain’s death raises concerns about the rules of engagement used by Israeli forces in occupied territories. Criticism from international human rights organizations: While the Israeli military claims to investigate these killings, the ongoing pattern of violence, especially against minors, has drawn significant criticism from international human rights organizations.

It can cause difficulty breathing and irreversible paralysis, usually in the legs. It strikes young children in particular and is sometimes fatal. Health crisis: Diseases like polio, hepatitis A, meningitis, and impetigo are spreading due to poor hygiene and destroyed infrastructure, with hospitals overwhelmed and many deaths reported, especially among children. Lack of hygiene supplies : Basic supplies like soap are unavailable for months, contributing to widespread illness. Humanitarian organizations struggle to provide essentials due to movement restrictions and limited aid deliveries. Chronology June 19 : Gaza’s Ministry of Health said it had detected “component poliovirus type 2” in coordination with UNICEF, the United Nations children’s agency June 21 : The Israeli army begins to vaccinate against polio all soldiers operating in Gaza or due to enter there soon , after a high concentration of the virus was found in sewage in Gaza. source End of July : The World Health Organization is “extremely worried” about the possibility of an outbreak of the highly infectious polio virus in Gaza after traces were found in wastewater. Immunisation rates in Gaza and the occupied West Bank were optimal before the conflict. Polio vaccine coverage was estimated at 99% in 2022, although it had declined to 89% last year, according to the latest data. the “decimation” of Gaza health system" - with only 16 out of the territory's 36 hospitals partially functional - as well as the "lack of security, access obstruction, constant population displacement, shortages of medical supplies, poor quality of water and weakened sanitation" have contributed to reduce immunisation rates and increase the risk of diseases spreading. First case at the end of July : According to the WHO, a 10-month-old baby had been paralysed by the type-2 strand of the virus - the first case in Gaza in 25 years. Augustus 29 : Israel and Hamas have agreed to brief ceasefires in parts of Gaza to allow the safe distribution of the polio vaccine, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). These pauses will begin Sunday and occur in three phases: central Gaza first, then the south, and finally the north. Each pause will last three days, from 6am to 3pm, and may extend to a fourth day if necessary. Vaccination Campaign planning The WHO and partners are launching a campaign to vaccinate 640,000 children in Gaza against polio, despite the ongoing war and damaged healthcare system. Timeline by Phased Approach : A three-day campaign will start Sunday in central Gaza during a "humanitarian pause" from 6am to 3pm, with potential extensions. It will later move to southern and northern Gaza during similar pauses. Campaign Duration and Goals : The campaign will last three days in each zone, with a potential fourth day if needed. The goal is to vaccinate over 640,000 children under 10 across Gaza in two rounds, with the second dose administered in four weeks. Vaccination Sites : Around 160 sites, including medical centers, hospitals, and schools, are designated for vaccinations, mainly in Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah. Challenges : Significant obstacles include damaged infrastructure—65% of roads are affected and 19 of 36 hospitals are out of service. Security concerns have also halted aid group movements.The campaign is described as a "massive effort" involving thousands of workers, with significant planning and preparation.
