On 10 October, an observation tower at UNIFIL's Naqoura headquarters was hit by Israeli tank fire [Original post] On 10 October, an observation tower at UNIFIL's Naqoura headquarters was hit by Israeli tank fire. Two Indonesian peacekeepers spent three days in intensive care, but are now in good condition and back on duty. "We are ready to carry out our mission and uphold Resolution 1701. [Tags: Conquest, Threat, Evacuation Order, Impunity, Peacekeepers] [Found by: UNIFIL] [Location: Lebanon > South Lebanon > Naqoura] [Archivist Notes] UNIFIL has been active in south Lebanon since 1978, primarily to monitor ceasefires and facilitate humanitarian access.Any deliberate attack on the UN personnel and property is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of Resolution 1701. Israel has accused UNIFIL of failing to enforce Resolution 1701, which calls for a ceasefire and Hezbollah's disarmament. Israeli officials argue UNIFIL has not adequately restrained Hezbollah, while experts counter that both sides have violated the resolution's terms. Israeli leaders have expressed frustrations, calling UNIFIL a “human shield” for Hezbollah. Prime Minister Netanyahu has called for UNIFIL's withdrawal, stating it enables Hezbollah’s operations. Israeli rhetoric increasingly portrays UNIFIL as colluding with Hezbollah, feeding into a “dangerous and inaccurate” anti-UN narrative. This perception may impact future peacekeeping stability in the region. While heavy Israeli airstrikes have devastated southern Lebanon, flattening towns, killing over 2,574 people, and injuring more than 12,000 as of October. A leaked report shows Israel’s use of incendiary white phosphorus near UNIFIL bases, injuring 15 peacekeepers. Other reported incidents include direct fire on UNIFIL positions, demolitions of observation towers, and forcible entry into UNIFIL compounds. Rights groups warn that Israel's actions could amount to war crimes. UNIFIL has been active in south Lebanon since 1978, primarily to monitor ceasefires and facilitate humanitarian access. Source Chronology Chronology of important events from October 1 to October 20, 2024, regarding the incidents involving Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) October 1, 2024 Israel begins an invasion of Southern Lebanon, accompanied by airstrikes targeting locations throughout Lebanon. UNIFIL Non-Intervention: UNIFIL forces do not intervene and remain in their positions. October 4, 2024 IDF Orders Irish UNIFIL Withdrawal: IDF requests Irish UNIFIL personnel to vacate a position; both UNIFIL representatives and the Irish government decline. October 9, 2024 Disabling of UN Surveillance Systems: IDF soldiers reportedly disable video surveillance, lighting systems, and a radio repeater at UNIFIL bases UNP 1-31 and UNP 1-32A in South Lebanon through small arms fire. October 10, 2024 IDF Fires on UNIFIL Positions: Israeli troops open fire on three UNIFIL positions, including the main base in Naqoura. Two Indonesian peacekeepers are injured when an Israeli tank fires on an observation tower. IDF demands the immediate withdrawal of all UNIFIL personnel within 5 km of the Israel-Lebanon border; contributing countries decline the request. October 11, 2024 IDF attacks the Naqoura base again, injuring two Sri Lankan peacekeepers and damaging the perimeter wall. UNIFIL bases suffer heavy damage during clashes between IDF and Hezbollah. International Condemnation: France, Italy, and Spain release a joint statement condemning the attacks; the U.S. government calls on Israel to cease attacks on UNIFIL bases. UN Response: The United Nations terms the incident a "serious development." October 12, 2024 Another Indonesian peacekeeper is injured by Israeli fire. Condemnation by 44 Nations: Poland, joined by 43 other countries, condemns Israel’s attacks on UNIFIL, calling for a halt to attacks and protections for UN personnel. Countries include the UK, Germany, France, Italy, India, and others. October 13, 2024 Two IDF Merkava tanks reportedly breach a UNIFIL position, destroying the gate and staying for 45 minutes despite objections. Within an hour after the tanks depart, white phosphorus munitions are fired within 100 meters of the base, injuring 15 peacekeepers. Further International Condemnation: 40 countries issue a joint statement condemning the IDF's actions against UNIFIL personnel and positions. October 18 Peacekeepers in Meiss ej Jebel ran out of water after weeks without resupply. Access to positions near the Blue Line has been tough. While most positions have enough food and water for over 10 days, this one hadn’t received supplies since 29 Sept due to blocked roads. After delays from clearing the roads due to active fighting and warnings from the IDF of military activities, the position was finally resupplied on October 18 with food, water and essentials, allowing peacekeepers to continue their work. October 20, 2024 Attack on UNIFIL Base in Marwahin: IDF attacks a UNIFIL base in Marwahin, demolishing an observation tower and perimeter fence with a bulldozer. October 22, 2024 On 22 October, peacekeepers on duty at a permanent observation post near Dhayra were observing IDF soldiers conducting house clearing operations nearby. Upon realizing they were being observed, the IDF soldiers fired at the post. The duty guards withdrew to avoid being shot. Unifil statement :* "The IDF has repeatedly demanded that UNIFIL vacate its positions along the Blue Line and has deliberately damaged camera, lighting, and communications equipment at some of these positions. Despite the pressure being exerted on the mission and our troop-contributing countries, peacekeepers remain in position and on task. We will continue to undertake our mandated tasks to monitor and report. We remind the IDF and all actors of their obligations to ensure the safety and security of UN personnel and property. Any deliberate attack on them is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of Resolution 1701."* November 7, 2024 A UNIFIL convoy bringing newly-arrived peacekeepers to south Lebanon was passing Saida when a drone strike occurred nearby. Five peacekeepers were lightly injured and treated by the Lebanese Red Cross on the spot. They will continue to their posts. The Lebanese Army also confirmed three of its soldiers at the nearby checkpoint were injured. source

During the battles, the fighters killed dozens of terrorists.” Statement of The Palestinian Ministry of Health "Israeli forces forced displaced male individuals to remove their clothing and arrested some. They gathered and detained medical personnel in one room and called a number of these staff, including the hospital director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, to where the Israeli forces were located in the hospital courtyard. All of these individuals are currently unaccounted for after losing contact with them.The Ministry of Health demands that international organizations urgently intervene to protect the medical personnel and patients present there without water, food, or medical services." October 26, 2024 Israeli forces withdrew from Kamal Adwan Hospital, releasing 14 detained medical personnel, including the hospital’s director. Dr Abu Safiya described in a video message, the “extremely catastrophic” situation at the hospital. “After the army’s withdrawal, about 31 people from our medical staff were either taken or arrested, which has now left us with very few numbers,” he said. The Palestinian health ministry reported Israeli airstrikes on Beit Lahiya killed at least 30 people, though no official confirmation followed. The ICRC stated the situation in northern Gaza is "extremely dire" and urged for safe evacuation passage and access to essential supplies for civilians. Dreadfully predictable news, the brave Paediatrician at Kamal Adwan who has been calling out for his ICU patients for weeks has been arrested by the Israelis. He works for respected international NGO nobody could suspect him of doing anything other than practice medicine On otober 27 : Only one doctor remains at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza after the facility’s medical staff were either detained or forced out by the Israeli army, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. The Gaza health administration announced that 30 healthcare workers are still being held by the Israeli army.

Hussam Abu Safia, director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Northern Gaza, told Al Jazeera that “The hospital is left with no resources. No medical supplies and no medical staff.” (...) “This is because many of our specialized doctors and surgeons have been detained. It is only me together with a single pediatrician—who cannot perform any surgery on the wounded—that are left inside the hospital. Above all, patients and the injured are strewn all over the hospital floor.” Testimonies Ahmed El Mokhallalati "A few days ago, I shared the testimony of my dear brother, Dr. Mohammed Obeid , the head of the Orthopedics Department at Al-Awda Hospital, while he was besieged with his family at Kamal Adwan Hospital. He continued providing care for patients in the north. Today, we lost contact with Dr. Mohammed after the medical staff was detained. Dr. Mohammed is a courageous hero.

Testimony of Abu Mohammed (Palestinian citizen) The Israeli army executed doctor Ahmed Al-Namnam immediately after his release. He was one of three medical staff shown in the photo revealed a week ago. “For 10 days he was detained among soldiers in the area east of Jabalia camp – they may have used him as a human shield, and after 10 days he was released to head towards Gaza .

About 30,000 children in north Gaza are being blocked from getting the second round of polio vaccination [Original post] About 30,000 children in north Gaza are being blocked from getting the second round of polio vaccination. Humanitarian pauses are crucial for their overall well-being and to contain the spread of polio. UNICEF continues to call for a ceasefire. #WorldPolioDay [Tags: Water, Humanitarian Aid, Blocking Aid, Sanitation, Living conditions, Epidemic, Doctors & Volunteers, Healthcare System, Siege] [Found by: UNICEF] [Location: Gaza] [Archivist Notes] A second round of the campaign will follow, ideally within four weeks, to provide a second dose of nOPV2 to children in Gaza to stop the outbreak and prevent its international spread. To repeat this ambitious intervention, reach enough children, and successfully stop further transmission of the poliovirus, WHO, UNICEF and UNRWA are calling on all parties to the conflict to commit to another round of humanitarian pauses, with unimpeded access to children in areas that need special coordination. Ultimately, they ask to a long-lasting ceasefire as all families in the Gaza Strip need peace so they can begin to heal and rebuild their lives. They humanitarian association and NGO obtained the right to provide the second round of Polio vaccination from Israel. The last step, concerning the North seems however compromized by the ground invasion, the complete siege and the blockade of all humnitarian aid in the North of Gaza city. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3 Ministry of Health statement on October 13 On october 13 , while Israeli forces are surrounded the North of Gaza, the Ministry of Health announces the launch of the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip According to the Palestinian Health Minister Dr. Majed Abu Ramadan, the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip will be launched the October 14 for children under ten years old. The vaccination campaign will consist of three stages, the first in the central region of Deir al-Balah and will last three days, from October 14 to 17, and may be extended for an additional day. The second phase will take place in Khan Yunis and Rafah governorates, from October 19 to 22 The third phase will take place in Gaza and North governorates, from October 22 to 25 The second dose of the N-OPV oral polio vaccine will be administered, in addition to vitamin A, which strengthens children's immunity, helps them resist infection and helps improve vision and healthy growth. The campaign aims to vaccinate 591,700 children under the age of ten, and fixed and mobile teams will be deployed to carry out the campaign. The success of this campaign depends on a humanitarian truce to ensure the ability of all polio workers to work in a safe environment and allow families to vaccinate their children. First step (october 14 to 17) On october 14, a strike hit a hospital courtyard, burning the tents where people were sleeping. Just before this, an UNRWA school sheltering families was hit in Nuseirat. That same school was going to be used as a #polio vaccination site today. On October 18, according to , the first phase of the #polio vaccination campaign in central Gaza ha successfully concluded. With 181 429 children under 10 years vaccinated, and 148 064 children between 2-10 years received vitamin A supplements. 8 health facilities in the area will continue to provide polio vaccines for families who hadn't managed to bring their children so far. On october 20n UNRWA says over 181,000 children have been vaccinated in the central Gaza area during the 2nd round of the polio vaccination campaign. This comes amid thousands of people are stranded in northern Gaza with water and food running low. It stressed that UNRWA facilities continue to be impacted by Israeli military operations in Gaza enclave. According to Joe English, "Despite a - to put it mildly - highly complex situation in the Gaza Strip, UNICEF, UNRWA, WHO and the Palestinian Ministry of Health completed the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in 14 municipalities of Gaza’s Middle Area". Second Step (October 19 to 22) in occupied Palestinian territory @WHOoPt On the second day of the polio vaccination campaign in southern #Gaza: - 90,716 children were vaccinated 70,722 received vitamin A This brings the total number of children vaccinated since the start of the campaign on 14 Oct to 𝟒𝟐𝟎,𝟏𝟎𝟎, while 𝟑𝟑𝟗,𝟖𝟖𝟓 children have received vitamin A so far. Third step (Gaza City and Northern gaza) The siege of northern Gaza, the intense bombings, the Israeli ground invasion, the completely blocked humanitarian aid have stopped the campaign in the northern part of North Gaza. All international organizations involved in the vaccination campaign have called for an immediate ceasefire. They recalled that without a vaccination rate of 90% of children, the polio virus could mutate and the epidemic spread to the entire population. They highlight the extreme humanitarian crisis affecting the population of the North, without food or water and facing a health system destroyed by Israeli aggression towards hospitals, aid services and civil defense. According to Hind Khoudary, on November 2, Gaza’s north, thousands of children will not get the polio vaccine because they are unreachable. Israeli forces are not letting UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the Palestinian Ministry of Health reach those besieged areas. Incidents: Hind Khoudary, reports on November 2 that the Polio vaccination centre was targeted with sound bombs in Gaza City, Sheikh Radwan Clinic. The bombing injured three children and caused great panic. from an Israeli quadcopter. There are a lot of fragments that fall after these attack injured at least three children. The polio campaign restarted despite challenges faced by the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the Palestinian Ministry of Health. They were denied access, previously unable to cross from the southern Gaza Strip to Gaza City. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director of WHO statement "We have received an extremely concerning report that the Sheikh Radwan primary health care centre in northern #Gaza was struck today while parents were bringing their children to the life-saving #polio vaccination in an area where a humanitarian pause was agreed to allow vaccination to proceed. Six people, including four children, were injured. A WHO team was at the site just before. This attack, during humanitarian pause, jeopardises the sanctity of health protection for children and may deter parents from bringing their children for vaccination.These vital humanitarian-area-specific pauses must be absolutely respected. Ceasefire!" On November 2, while large numbers of children rushed to Muscat Clinic in the Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City to receive polio vaccination, Israeli forces carried out an airstrike killing 1 people and wounding 7 others CHILDREN near the clinic, according to Motasem A Dalloul On November 3, The United Nations reports that a polio vaccination center and the vehicle of a UNICEF official involved in this weekend’s vaccination campaign came under fire despite a declared “humanitarian pause” in Israeli strikes.source : External sources : Source 1 Source 2

CNN investigation: The Israeli military has used Palestinians as human shields in Gaza [Original post] CNN investigation: The Israeli military has used Palestinians as human shields in Gaza, soldier and former detainees say. The Israeli military has forced Palestinians to enter potentially booby-trapped houses and tunnels in Gaza to avoid putting its troops in harm's way, according to an Israel Forces soldier and five former detainees who said they were victims of the practice. [Tags: Prisoner Abuse, Threat, Palestine Voices, Human Shield, Arrest, Unlawful detention, Dehumanization, Human Dignity] [Found by: Eye on Palestine, CNN] [Location: Gaza] [Archivist Notes] Human Shields The use of civilians to protect combatants or military objectives from attack. 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.

Despite grave dangers, 10,000+ peacekeepers from about 50 countries are serving for peace in Lebanon. [Original post] Despite grave dangers, 10,000+ peacekeepers from about 50 countries are #ServingForPeace with the @UNPeacekeeping mission in Lebanon. Amid ongoing hostilities, including attacks that injured peacekeepers, @UNIFIL_ remains in its positions, working to protect communities. [Tags: Conquest, Threat, Evacuation Order, Impunity, Peacekeepers] [Found by: UN] [Location: Lebanon > South Lebanon] [Archivist Notes] UNIFIL has been active in south Lebanon since 1978, primarily to monitor ceasefires and facilitate humanitarian access.Any deliberate attack on the UN personnel and property is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of Resolution 1701. Israel has accused UNIFIL of failing to enforce Resolution 1701, which calls for a ceasefire and Hezbollah's disarmament. Israeli officials argue UNIFIL has not adequately restrained Hezbollah, while experts counter that both sides have violated the resolution's terms. Israeli leaders have expressed frustrations, calling UNIFIL a “human shield” for Hezbollah. Prime Minister Netanyahu has called for UNIFIL's withdrawal, stating it enables Hezbollah’s operations. Israeli rhetoric increasingly portrays UNIFIL as colluding with Hezbollah, feeding into a “dangerous and inaccurate” anti-UN narrative. This perception may impact future peacekeeping stability in the region. While heavy Israeli airstrikes have devastated southern Lebanon, flattening towns, killing over 2,574 people, and injuring more than 12,000 as of October. A leaked report shows Israel’s use of incendiary white phosphorus near UNIFIL bases, injuring 15 peacekeepers. Other reported incidents include direct fire on UNIFIL positions, demolitions of observation towers, and forcible entry into UNIFIL compounds. Rights groups warn that Israel's actions could amount to war crimes. UNIFIL has been active in south Lebanon since 1978, primarily to monitor ceasefires and facilitate humanitarian access.

IDF demands the immediate withdrawal of all UNIFIL personnel within 5 km of the Israel-Lebanon border; contributing countries decline the request. October 11, 2024 IDF attacks the Naqoura base again, injuring two Sri Lankan peacekeepers and damaging the perimeter wall. UNIFIL bases suffer heavy damage during clashes between IDF and Hezbollah. International Condemnation: France, Italy, and Spain release a joint statement condemning the attacks; the U.S. government calls on Israel to cease attacks on UNIFIL bases. UN Response: The United Nations terms the incident a "serious development." October 12, 2024 Another Indonesian peacekeeper is injured by Israeli fire. Condemnation by 44 Nations: Poland, joined by 43 other countries, condemns Israel’s attacks on UNIFIL, calling for a halt to attacks and protections for UN personnel.

Further International Condemnation: 40 countries issue a joint statement condemning the IDF's actions against UNIFIL personnel and positions. October 18 Peacekeepers in Meiss ej Jebel ran out of water after weeks without resupply. Access to positions near the Blue Line has been tough. While most positions have enough food and water for over 10 days, this one hadn’t received supplies since 29 Sept due to blocked roads. After delays from clearing the roads due to active fighting and warnings from the IDF of military activities, the position was finally resupplied on October 18 with food, water and essentials, allowing peacekeepers to continue their work. October 20, 2024 Attack on UNIFIL Base in Marwahin: IDF attacks a UNIFIL base in Marwahin, demolishing an observation tower and perimeter fence with a bulldozer. October 22, 2024 On 22 October, peacekeepers on duty at a permanent observation post near Dhayra were observing IDF soldiers conducting house clearing operations nearby. Upon realizing they were being observed, the IDF soldiers fired at the post. The duty guards withdrew to avoid being shot. Unifil statement :* "The IDF has repeatedly demanded that UNIFIL vacate its positions along the Blue Line and has deliberately damaged camera, lighting, and communications equipment at some of these positions. Despite the pressure being exerted on the mission and our troop-contributing countries, peacekeepers remain in position and on task. We will continue to undertake our mandated tasks to monitor and report. We remind the IDF and all actors of their obligations to ensure the safety and security of UN personnel and property. Any deliberate attack on them is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of Resolution 1701."* November 7, 2024 A UNIFIL convoy bringing newly-arrived peacekeepers to south Lebanon was passing Saida when a drone strike occurred nearby. Five peacekeepers were lightly injured and treated by the Lebanese Red Cross on the spot. They will continue to their posts. The Lebanese Army also confirmed three of its soldiers at the nearby checkpoint were injured. source

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.

UNICEF informs about the challenges of the second round of the polio immunization campaign [Original post] In a second round of the emergency polio immunization campaign, parents in #Gaza were able to protect their children against the disease. Children also received Vitamin A, which will boost their immune system and protect them from disease. #EndPolio [Tags: Water, Humanitarian Aid, Blocking Aid, Sanitation, Living conditions, Epidemic, Doctors & Volunteers, Healthcare System, Siege] [Found by: UNICEF] [Location: Gaza] [Archivist Notes] A second round of the campaign will follow, ideally within four weeks, to provide a second dose of nOPV2 to children in Gaza to stop the outbreak and prevent its international spread. To repeat this ambitious intervention, reach enough children, and successfully stop further transmission of the poliovirus, WHO, UNICEF and UNRWA are calling on all parties to the conflict to commit to another round of humanitarian pauses, with unimpeded access to children in areas that need special coordination. Ultimately, they ask to a long-lasting ceasefire as all families in the Gaza Strip need peace so they can begin to heal and rebuild their lives. They humanitarian association and NGO obtained the right to provide the second round of Polio vaccination from Israel. The last step, concerning the North seems however compromized by the ground invasion, the complete siege and the blockade of all humnitarian aid in the North of Gaza city. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3 Ministry of Health statement on October 13 On october 13 , while Israeli forces are surrounded the North of Gaza, the Ministry of Health announces the launch of the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip According to the Palestinian Health Minister Dr. Majed Abu Ramadan, the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip will be launched the October 14 for children under ten years old. The vaccination campaign will consist of three stages, the first in the central region of Deir al-Balah and will last three days, from October 14 to 17, and may be extended for an additional day. The second phase will take place in Khan Yunis and Rafah governorates, from October 19 to 22 The third phase will take place in Gaza and North governorates, from October 22 to 25 The second dose of the N-OPV oral polio vaccine will be administered, in addition to vitamin A, which strengthens children's immunity, helps them resist infection and helps improve vision and healthy growth. The campaign aims to vaccinate 591,700 children under the age of ten, and fixed and mobile teams will be deployed to carry out the campaign. The success of this campaign depends on a humanitarian truce to ensure the ability of all polio workers to work in a safe environment and allow families to vaccinate their children. First step (october 14 to 17) On october 14, a strike hit a hospital courtyard, burning the tents where people were sleeping. Just before this, an UNRWA school sheltering families was hit in Nuseirat. That same school was going to be used as a #polio vaccination site today. On October 18, according to , the first phase of the #polio vaccination campaign in central Gaza ha successfully concluded. With 181 429 children under 10 years vaccinated, and 148 064 children between 2-10 years received vitamin A supplements. 8 health facilities in the area will continue to provide polio vaccines for families who hadn't managed to bring their children so far. On october 20n UNRWA says over 181,000 children have been vaccinated in the central Gaza area during the 2nd round of the polio vaccination campaign. This comes amid thousands of people are stranded in northern Gaza with water and food running low. It stressed that UNRWA facilities continue to be impacted by Israeli military operations in Gaza enclave. According to Joe English, "Despite a - to put it mildly - highly complex situation in the Gaza Strip, UNICEF, UNRWA, WHO and the Palestinian Ministry of Health completed the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in 14 municipalities of Gaza’s Middle Area". Second Step (October 19 to 22) in occupied Palestinian territory @WHOoPt On the second day of the polio vaccination campaign in southern #Gaza: - 90,716 children were vaccinated 70,722 received vitamin A This brings the total number of children vaccinated since the start of the campaign on 14 Oct to 𝟒𝟐𝟎,𝟏𝟎𝟎, while 𝟑𝟑𝟗,𝟖𝟖𝟓 children have received vitamin A so far. Third step (Gaza City and Northern gaza) The siege of northern Gaza, the intense bombings, the Israeli ground invasion, the completely blocked humanitarian aid have stopped the campaign in the northern part of North Gaza. All international organizations involved in the vaccination campaign have called for an immediate ceasefire. They recalled that without a vaccination rate of 90% of children, the polio virus could mutate and the epidemic spread to the entire population. They highlight the extreme humanitarian crisis affecting the population of the North, without food or water and facing a health system destroyed by Israeli aggression towards hospitals, aid services and civil defense. According to Hind Khoudary, on November 2, Gaza’s north, thousands of children will not get the polio vaccine because they are unreachable. Israeli forces are not letting UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the Palestinian Ministry of Health reach those besieged areas. Incidents: Hind Khoudary, reports on November 2 that the Polio vaccination centre was targeted with sound bombs in Gaza City, Sheikh Radwan Clinic. The bombing injured three children and caused great panic. from an Israeli quadcopter. There are a lot of fragments that fall after these attack injured at least three children. The polio campaign restarted despite challenges faced by the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the Palestinian Ministry of Health. They were denied access, previously unable to cross from the southern Gaza Strip to Gaza City. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director of WHO statement "We have received an extremely concerning report that the Sheikh Radwan primary health care centre in northern #Gaza was struck today while parents were bringing their children to the life-saving #polio vaccination in an area where a humanitarian pause was agreed to allow vaccination to proceed. Six people, including four children, were injured. A WHO team was at the site just before. This attack, during humanitarian pause, jeopardises the sanctity of health protection for children and may deter parents from bringing their children for vaccination.These vital humanitarian-area-specific pauses must be absolutely respected. Ceasefire!" On November 2, while large numbers of children rushed to Muscat Clinic in the Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City to receive polio vaccination, Israeli forces carried out an airstrike killing 1 people and wounding 7 others CHILDREN near the clinic, according to Motasem A Dalloul On November 3, The United Nations reports that a polio vaccination center and the vehicle of a UNICEF official involved in this weekend’s vaccination campaign came under fire despite a declared “humanitarian pause” in Israeli strikes.source : External sources : Source 1 Source 2

A sad farewell to the child Abdullah Hawash, who was killed by Israeli sniper in Nablus [Original post] A sad farewell to the child martyr Abdullah Hawash, who was killed by the occupation forces in #Nablus. #Iran #Israel #AliAminGandapur [Tags: Raid, Sniper Rifle, Murder, Mourning, Living conditions, Terror, Children, Armored vehicle, Summary execution] [Found by: @mhmd_alkebdsi] [Location: West Bank > Nablus] [Archivist Notes] On october 22, on Tuesday evening, the Israeli Security Forces (ISF) shot in the chest and killed an 11-year-old Palestinian boy throwing stones at armoured vehicles in Nablus despite posing no realistic threat, during a raid in the city of Nablus, northern West Bank. The scene was filmed, while the Israeli armored vehicles was stormed the street of Nablus, the child Abdullad Hawash, was seen throwing a rock in direction of them, and was immediatly shot deadly by a sniper. Abdullah Jamal Hawash, 11, succumbed to critical injuries sustained from the Israeli army's gunfire, a Palestinian Health Ministry statement said. The funeral of Palestinian child Abdallah Hawash, who was gunned down by Israeli occupation forces in Nablus in the occupied West Bank. Picture Defense for Children International - Palestine report Abdullah Jamal Nidal Hawash, 11, was shot in the chest by Israeli forces around 5:30 p.m. on October 22 in the Fatayer Street area near the old city of Nablus. Abdullah was approximately 50 meters (164 feet) away from the last Israeli military vehicle as it withdrew when an Israeli soldier inside the vehicle fired a bullet at him, striking him near the heart. He was transported by a civilian vehicle to Rafidia Governmental Hospital, where doctors attempted to revive him, but he was pronounced dead shortly afterward. Abdullah, a sixth grader, was struck in the chest with one bullet that exited from the back, according to information collected by DCIP. “Israeli forces consistently use lethal force against Palestinian children, even in circumstances where they pose no threat to life or safety,” said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, accountability program director at DCIP. “Abdullah’s killing highlights the routine nature of violence that Palestinian children face, where Israeli military incursions often escalate to fatal outcomes without accountability.” Abdullah's death is a yet another clear example of an extrajudicial execution and wilful killing, as there was no imminent threat to justify the use of such force. Evidence collected by DCIP repeatedly shows that Israeli forces employ lethal force against Palestinian children with impunity, blatantly violating international humanitarian and human rights law. Context & chronology : Earlier that day, at approximately 5:10 p.m., reports emerged about Israeli special forces operating undercover in the Habs al-Dam area of the old city of Nablus. The special force, disguised in civilian clothing, invaded the Old City of Nablus. Around 5:20 p.m., Israeli military reinforcements, including seven military vehicles, entered from the At-Tur military gate, heading towards the southern entrances near Ras al-Ein and the old city. “The special force entered the Old City and arrested a young man, after which the occupation army sent military reinforcements to support the special unit,". According to Wafa special units raided the Qaryoun neighborhood in Nablus Old City and fired tear gas. Their objective was reportedly to arrest a young man from this neighborhood. The special forces arrested a young man in the old city and withdrew by 5:30 p.m., heading back toward the At-Tur military gate. As the convoy passed Fatayer Street near Sondos Supermarket, a soldier inside the last vehicle opened fire, killing Abdullah. Following the entry of the special unit, Israeli military reinforcements arrived to back up the operation. This escalation led to confrontations and increased the intensity of the raid. Residents experienced heightened tension, with eyewitnesses describing the incursion as sudden and forceful, leading to significant fear and distress in the community. Previous similar incidents On 20 Octobre, in Hebron- Al-Khalil, ISF shot in the head a 17-year-old boy, now in critical condition. Another 11-year-old boy was critically injured after ISF shot him in the head on 17 Oct in Al-Arroub camp. In the past year alone, ISF killed 165 Palestinian children in the West Bank, incl. EJ, 36 in airstrikes and 129 shot with live ammunition, most in the head or upper body. Over the past few years, the Israeli military has conducted regular raids in the West Bank, which have escalated with the beginning of the war on Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023. Palestinians have also been violently attacked by illegal Israeli settlers. At least 760 Palestinians have since been killed and over 6,250 others injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied territory, according to the Health Ministry. Israeli forces and settlers have killed 86 Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank in 2024, according to documentation collected by DCIP. 167 Palestinian children have been killed in the occupied West Bank since October 7, 2023, according to documentation collected by DCIP. Broader Context of Nablus in the Conflict: Nablus, one of the largest cities in the West Bank, has become a focal point for both Israeli military actions and settler attacks. Since October of the previous year, settler-related violence and military raids have increased significantly in Nablus, causing not only deaths but also extensive property damage. UN and Palestinian Reactions: The UN Refugee and Works Agency (UNRWA) recently cited Nablus in reports on escalating violence in the West Bank, stating that operations there contributed to making September one of the deadliest months for Palestinians in the area in recent years.

Paramedics retrieve victims murdered by IDF at Zayd ibn Haritha school [Original post] A number of Palestinians were killed and several others were injured after the bombing of a school in Beit Lahya, north of Gaza. [Tags: Wounded] [Found by: Eye on Palestine] [Archivist Notes] Israel's Extensive Military Operation in the West Bank The Israeli military has launched its most extensive invasion of the occupied West Bank since 2002, focusing on the Palestinian towns of Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nablus. This operation, reported by Israeli media, involves thousands of soldiers and is expected to last for days. The IDF operation, which is reportedly named Operation Summer Camps , is pretending coming in response to Israeli concern about a growing threat to their security from the occupied territories amid the war against Hamas and clashes with Hezbollah in the north. But comes as a continuation of the far-right government's desire to carry out a campaign of ethnic cleansing. Key Events: • August 28 Night Attack: The Israeli army initiated the assault with massive troops, including air support.

Reuters reporting on the olive harvest under Israeli soldiers and settlers attacks in the West Bank [Original post] Since the start of the olive harvest this month, armed Israeli settlers have attacked Palestinian farmers, cut down trees, and set fire to olive groves in the West Bank, escalating tensions in the already volatile region https://reut.rs/48eoGfM [Tags: Nature, Looting, Settlement, Fire, Soldiers and Settlers, Baton, Agriculture, Living conditions, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Apartheid] [Found by: Reuters] [Location: West Bank] [Archivist Notes] Since the beginning of October, and the olive harvest season in Palestine, attacks against Palestinian farmers have increased. Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war. Settlers have already used violence against harvesters, and many fear that the army won't provide adequate protection and will prevent them from accessing their lands. Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently preventing farmers access to their lands, shooting/killing farmers, terror attacks, burning of homes & property, destruction of olive trees, theft of olive harvest. In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning. Source Chronology (ongoing) On November 28 in Salem Village, the Israeli forces obstructed Palestinian farmers' access to their lands in Salem, east of Nablus, preventing them from harvesting olives. Soldiers detained individuals, checked IDs, and used sound bombs and tear gas against youths. They also set up an iron gate at the northern entrance and placed soil berms to block vehicles. On November 25 Palestinian families are prevented from harvesting olives from their groves by Israeli colonial forces in the area of Sahel Turmus-Aya. Before being kicked out of their lands, farmers noticed that their olive trees bore very little fruit. Throughout this past year, the landowners were prevented from accessing their land at the hands of settlers and soldiers, thus making it impossible to tend to their trees properly. The soldiers also attacked a youngster. (according to Activestills On November 9 Ahmad Abdullah Ghazal from the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus has passed away days after settlers attacked him and sprayed him with gas while he was picking olives. He did not suffer from any illness prior to this incident. On November 8 The guard of Yitzhar settlement, along with settlers dressed in Israeli occupation forces uniforms, expelled farmers and stole olives from the lands of Burin village, south of Nablus. Landowners returned to their orchards in Umm Nir to continue the olive harvest that had been interrupted the day before. This time, Shmuel Lusky and another settler from the illegal outpost of Ancient Susya arrived at the scene, attempting to steal the harvested olives and assaulting the harvesters.

They detained farmers for an hour while the settlers sabotaged the olive grove. On September 12 : Settlers from the Rehelim area set fire to olive trees and agricultural equipment in the village of Yatma. The fires are still burning. UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

The 11 y/o Abdullah Hawash was shot by the Isaeli sniper in cold blood in Nablus [Original post] A photo of the 11-year-old martyr Abdullah Hawash, who was shot by the IOF in cold blood in #Nablus today. Abdullah was wrapped in a Palestinian flag at his funeral, where the mourners honored him, vowed vengeance, and chanted for the resistance: "O Abdullah, take your rest! We will continue the struggle!" "Put the sword against the sword! We are the men of Mohammed Deif!" "O mother of the martyr, I envy you! I wish my mother was in your place!" "O Jamil Al-Amouri, we brought you a rose!" "O Sinwar, open the door! We brought you the leader of the youth!" His last words, before he went out to confront the occupation with simple stones were, "Man, I am Sinwar! [Tags: Raid, Sniper Rifle, Murder, Mourning, Living conditions, Terror, Children, Armored vehicle, Summary execution] [Found by: @ResistanceXarmy] [Location: West Bank > Nablus] [Archivist Notes] On october 22, on Tuesday evening, the Israeli Security Forces (ISF) shot in the chest and killed an 11-year-old Palestinian boy throwing stones at armoured vehicles in Nablus despite posing no realistic threat, during a raid in the city of Nablus, northern West Bank. The scene was filmed, while the Israeli armored vehicles was stormed the street of Nablus, the child Abdullad Hawash, was seen throwing a rock in direction of them, and was immediatly shot deadly by a sniper. Abdullah Jamal Hawash, 11, succumbed to critical injuries sustained from the Israeli army's gunfire, a Palestinian Health Ministry statement said. The funeral of Palestinian child Abdallah Hawash, who was gunned down by Israeli occupation forces in Nablus in the occupied West Bank. Picture Defense for Children International - Palestine report Abdullah Jamal Nidal Hawash, 11, was shot in the chest by Israeli forces around 5:30 p.m. on October 22 in the Fatayer Street area near the old city of Nablus. Abdullah was approximately 50 meters (164 feet) away from the last Israeli military vehicle as it withdrew when an Israeli soldier inside the vehicle fired a bullet at him, striking him near the heart. He was transported by a civilian vehicle to Rafidia Governmental Hospital, where doctors attempted to revive him, but he was pronounced dead shortly afterward. Abdullah, a sixth grader, was struck in the chest with one bullet that exited from the back, according to information collected by DCIP. “Israeli forces consistently use lethal force against Palestinian children, even in circumstances where they pose no threat to life or safety,” said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, accountability program director at DCIP. “Abdullah’s killing highlights the routine nature of violence that Palestinian children face, where Israeli military incursions often escalate to fatal outcomes without accountability.” Abdullah's death is a yet another clear example of an extrajudicial execution and wilful killing, as there was no imminent threat to justify the use of such force. Evidence collected by DCIP repeatedly shows that Israeli forces employ lethal force against Palestinian children with impunity, blatantly violating international humanitarian and human rights law. Context & chronology : Earlier that day, at approximately 5:10 p.m., reports emerged about Israeli special forces operating undercover in the Habs al-Dam area of the old city of Nablus. The special force, disguised in civilian clothing, invaded the Old City of Nablus. Around 5:20 p.m., Israeli military reinforcements, including seven military vehicles, entered from the At-Tur military gate, heading towards the southern entrances near Ras al-Ein and the old city. “The special force entered the Old City and arrested a young man, after which the occupation army sent military reinforcements to support the special unit,". According to Wafa special units raided the Qaryoun neighborhood in Nablus Old City and fired tear gas. Their objective was reportedly to arrest a young man from this neighborhood. The special forces arrested a young man in the old city and withdrew by 5:30 p.m., heading back toward the At-Tur military gate. As the convoy passed Fatayer Street near Sondos Supermarket, a soldier inside the last vehicle opened fire, killing Abdullah. Following the entry of the special unit, Israeli military reinforcements arrived to back up the operation. This escalation led to confrontations and increased the intensity of the raid. Residents experienced heightened tension, with eyewitnesses describing the incursion as sudden and forceful, leading to significant fear and distress in the community. Previous similar incidents On 20 Octobre, in Hebron- Al-Khalil, ISF shot in the head a 17-year-old boy, now in critical condition. Another 11-year-old boy was critically injured after ISF shot him in the head on 17 Oct in Al-Arroub camp. In the past year alone, ISF killed 165 Palestinian children in the West Bank, incl. EJ, 36 in airstrikes and 129 shot with live ammunition, most in the head or upper body. Over the past few years, the Israeli military has conducted regular raids in the West Bank, which have escalated with the beginning of the war on Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023. Palestinians have also been violently attacked by illegal Israeli settlers. At least 760 Palestinians have since been killed and over 6,250 others injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied territory, according to the Health Ministry. Israeli forces and settlers have killed 86 Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank in 2024, according to documentation collected by DCIP. 167 Palestinian children have been killed in the occupied West Bank since October 7, 2023, according to documentation collected by DCIP. Broader Context of Nablus in the Conflict: Nablus, one of the largest cities in the West Bank, has become a focal point for both Israeli military actions and settler attacks. Since October of the previous year, settler-related violence and military raids have increased significantly in Nablus, causing not only deaths but also extensive property damage. UN and Palestinian Reactions: The UN Refugee and Works Agency (UNRWA) recently cited Nablus in reports on escalating violence in the West Bank, stating that operations there contributed to making September one of the deadliest months for Palestinians in the area in recent years.

Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

In Burin Israeli settlers stole 7 tarps and the olives next threw rocks on farmers [Original post] WATCH: Over Shabbat, masked settlers with sticks came down from the direction of the Givat Ronen outpost towards Burin, where families were harvesting olives. They stole 7 tarps and the olives that were on them and threw rocks at us. 1/2 [Tags: Nature, Looting, Settlement, Fire, Soldiers and Settlers, Baton, Agriculture, Living conditions, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Apartheid] [Found by: @CJNVtweets] [Location: West Bank > Burin > Nablus] [Archivist Notes] Since the beginning of October, and the olive harvest season in Palestine, attacks against Palestinian farmers have increased. Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war. Settlers have already used violence against harvesters, and many fear that the army won't provide adequate protection and will prevent them from accessing their lands. Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently preventing farmers access to their lands, shooting/killing farmers, terror attacks, burning of homes & property, destruction of olive trees, theft of olive harvest. In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning. Source Chronology (ongoing) On November 28 in Salem Village, the Israeli forces obstructed Palestinian farmers' access to their lands in Salem, east of Nablus, preventing them from harvesting olives. Soldiers detained individuals, checked IDs, and used sound bombs and tear gas against youths. They also set up an iron gate at the northern entrance and placed soil berms to block vehicles. On November 25 Palestinian families are prevented from harvesting olives from their groves by Israeli colonial forces in the area of Sahel Turmus-Aya. Before being kicked out of their lands, farmers noticed that their olive trees bore very little fruit. Throughout this past year, the landowners were prevented from accessing their land at the hands of settlers and soldiers, thus making it impossible to tend to their trees properly. The soldiers also attacked a youngster. (according to Activestills On November 9 Ahmad Abdullah Ghazal from the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus has passed away days after settlers attacked him and sprayed him with gas while he was picking olives. He did not suffer from any illness prior to this incident.

Local sources reported that the colonists attacked citizens while they were attending their lands and picking olives in the village of Rojib , sprayed them with pepper gas, and forced them to leave. In a related context, an Israeli colonist also attacked a citizen while he was picking olives in the village of Madama, south of Nablus , preventing him from completing his work, and forcing him to leave his land.

In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning. Source Chronology (ongoing) On November 28 in Salem Village, the Israeli forces obstructed Palestinian farmers' access to their lands in Salem, east of Nablus, preventing them from harvesting olives. Soldiers detained individuals, checked IDs, and used sound bombs and tear gas against youths. They also set up an iron gate at the northern entrance and placed soil berms to block vehicles. On November 25 Palestinian families are prevented from harvesting olives from their groves by Israeli colonial forces in the area of Sahel Turmus-Aya. Before being kicked out of their lands, farmers noticed that their olive trees bore very little fruit. Throughout this past year, the landowners were prevented from accessing their land at the hands of settlers and soldiers, thus making it impossible to tend to their trees properly. The soldiers also attacked a youngster. (according to Activestills On November 9 Ahmad Abdullah Ghazal from the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus has passed away days after settlers attacked him and sprayed him with gas while he was picking olives.

On September 12 : Settlers from the Rehelim area set fire to olive trees and agricultural equipment in the village of Yatma. The fires are still burning. UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

Israeli forces use of stun grenades against the olive harvest in Burqa [Original post] Standing tall against adversity, the villagers of Burqa continue their olive harvest despite Israeli forces' use of stun grenades and the arrival of Jewish settlers. #Resistance #Strength #OliveHarvest [Tags: Nature, Looting, Settlement, Fire, Soldiers and Settlers, Baton, Agriculture, Living conditions, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Apartheid] [Found by: @againstwarvoice] [Location: West Bank > Nablus > Burqa] [Archivist Notes] Since the beginning of October, and the olive harvest season in Palestine, attacks against Palestinian farmers have increased. Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war.

They detained farmers for an hour while the settlers sabotaged the olive grove. On September 12 : Settlers from the Rehelim area set fire to olive trees and agricultural equipment in the village of Yatma. The fires are still burning. UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

A foreign activist was injured as a result of settlers’ assault on olive pickers in the village of Susia [Original post] PC CORRESPONDENT: A foreign activist was injured as a result of settlers’ assault on olive pickers in the village of Susieh, east of Hebron. [Tags: Nature, Looting, Settlement, Fire, Soldiers and Settlers, Baton, Agriculture, Living conditions, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Apartheid] [Found by: Palestine chronicle] [Location: West Bank > Al-Khalil/Hebron > Susiya] [Archivist Notes] Since the beginning of October, and the olive harvest season in Palestine, attacks against Palestinian farmers have increased. Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war. Settlers have already used violence against harvesters, and many fear that the army won't provide adequate protection and will prevent them from accessing their lands. Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently preventing farmers access to their lands, shooting/killing farmers, terror attacks, burning of homes & property, destruction of olive trees, theft of olive harvest. In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning. Source Chronology (ongoing) On November 28 in Salem Village, the Israeli forces obstructed Palestinian farmers' access to their lands in Salem, east of Nablus, preventing them from harvesting olives. Soldiers detained individuals, checked IDs, and used sound bombs and tear gas against youths. They also set up an iron gate at the northern entrance and placed soil berms to block vehicles. On November 25 Palestinian families are prevented from harvesting olives from their groves by Israeli colonial forces in the area of Sahel Turmus-Aya. Before being kicked out of their lands, farmers noticed that their olive trees bore very little fruit. Throughout this past year, the landowners were prevented from accessing their land at the hands of settlers and soldiers, thus making it impossible to tend to their trees properly. The soldiers also attacked a youngster. (according to Activestills On November 9 Ahmad Abdullah Ghazal from the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus has passed away days after settlers attacked him and sprayed him with gas while he was picking olives. He did not suffer from any illness prior to this incident. On November 8 The guard of Yitzhar settlement, along with settlers dressed in Israeli occupation forces uniforms, expelled farmers and stole olives from the lands of Burin village, south of Nablus. Landowners returned to their orchards in Umm Nir to continue the olive harvest that had been interrupted the day before. This time, Shmuel Lusky and another settler from the illegal outpost of Ancient Susya arrived at the scene, attempting to steal the harvested olives and assaulting the harvesters. On November 7 dozens of soldiers and police officers from the Border Police prevent harvesting in olive groves, in Um Nir, near Susya, Masafer Yatta. On November 4 in Burqa, Settlers invaded a Palestinian land to burn their olive trees. Two farmers defend their land by throwing stones on the settlers who are lightly wounded. On November 2 Under the protection of Israeli forces, settlers attacked farmers while they were picking olives in Qaryut village, south of Nablus. On October 30 Israeli settlers chopped off hundreds of olive trees in Qaryut near Nablus. On October 28 Israeli settlers storm agricultural lands near Ramallah and set fire to olive trees. On October 27 In the morning - a Palestinian's car is burned while picking olives near the town of Kablan, southeast of Nablus. In the evening - in the square at the entrance to Huwara, same governorate, soldiers or settlers, raided the area. On October 26 In Hebron / Al-Khalil, Israeli Jewish settlers attacked a Palestinian family during the olives harvest in Hebron, stoling the olives & sheets which the family use to pick the olive. On October 25 Beit Jala area, Israeli army prevents Palestinians from harvesting olives on private land, using stun grenades at close range against activists assisting with the harvest. EU and allied diplomatic officials joined Palestinian youth in olive harvesting at Kufr Nimeh to show solidarity amid rising settler attacks. Since October 1st, settlers have reportedly vandalized, burned, or cut down about 600 olive trees in 15 West Bank communities. UNOCHA recorded 51 settler-related incidents affecting 57 communities. EU Statement : The EU urged Israel to protect Palestinian farmers and ensure a safe harvest, stressing that perpetrators of violence, harassment, and intimidation should be held accountable. On October 22 A large groups of settlers carried out a progrom against the residents of Jalud, a village near Nablus . They set fire to homes, vandalized vehicles, killed livestock, and and physically assaulted villagers. 2 Palestinians were injured in the face and another suffered a skull fracture during the attack. Sheep were slaughtered On october 20 In Burqa , near Ramallah, soldiers prevented the olive harvest by using stun grenades and making threats. As the soldiers attempted to evict the locals, masked settlers armed with batons approached. On October 18 Settlers open fire and launch tear gas at residents and volunteers harvesting olives in Kafr al-Labad , east of Tulkarm A settler attack on the residents in Susiya village, Masafer Yatta , one solidarity activist was injured. Since the start of the Olive Harvest, attacks have been non-stop and increasing, while soldiers watch and protect the settlers and facilitate the attacks.

A second batch of polio vaccines has arrived in southern Gaza, aiming to vaccinate 592,000 children [Original post] A second batch of polio vaccines has arrived in southern Gaza, aiming to vaccinate 592,000 children. In July, the type 2 polio virus was detected for the first time in over 20 years, paralyzing a 10-month-old baby [Tags: Water, Humanitarian Aid, Blocking Aid, Sanitation, Living conditions, Epidemic, Doctors & Volunteers, Healthcare System, Siege] [Found by: TRT] [Location: Gaza > Southern Gaza] [Archivist Notes] A second round of the campaign will follow, ideally within four weeks, to provide a second dose of nOPV2 to children in Gaza to stop the outbreak and prevent its international spread. To repeat this ambitious intervention, reach enough children, and successfully stop further transmission of the poliovirus, WHO, UNICEF and UNRWA are calling on all parties to the conflict to commit to another round of humanitarian pauses, with unimpeded access to children in areas that need special coordination. Ultimately, they ask to a long-lasting ceasefire as all families in the Gaza Strip need peace so they can begin to heal and rebuild their lives. They humanitarian association and NGO obtained the right to provide the second round of Polio vaccination from Israel. The last step, concerning the North seems however compromized by the ground invasion, the complete siege and the blockade of all humnitarian aid in the North of Gaza city. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3 Ministry of Health statement on October 13 On october 13 , while Israeli forces are surrounded the North of Gaza, the Ministry of Health announces the launch of the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip According to the Palestinian Health Minister Dr. Majed Abu Ramadan, the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip will be launched the October 14 for children under ten years old. The vaccination campaign will consist of three stages, the first in the central region of Deir al-Balah and will last three days, from October 14 to 17, and may be extended for an additional day. The second phase will take place in Khan Yunis and Rafah governorates, from October 19 to 22 The third phase will take place in Gaza and North governorates, from October 22 to 25 The second dose of the N-OPV oral polio vaccine will be administered, in addition to vitamin A, which strengthens children's immunity, helps them resist infection and helps improve vision and healthy growth. The campaign aims to vaccinate 591,700 children under the age of ten, and fixed and mobile teams will be deployed to carry out the campaign. The success of this campaign depends on a humanitarian truce to ensure the ability of all polio workers to work in a safe environment and allow families to vaccinate their children. First step (october 14 to 17) On october 14, a strike hit a hospital courtyard, burning the tents where people were sleeping. Just before this, an UNRWA school sheltering families was hit in Nuseirat. That same school was going to be used as a #polio vaccination site today. On October 18, according to , the first phase of the #polio vaccination campaign in central Gaza ha successfully concluded. With 181 429 children under 10 years vaccinated, and 148 064 children between 2-10 years received vitamin A supplements. 8 health facilities in the area will continue to provide polio vaccines for families who hadn't managed to bring their children so far. On october 20n UNRWA says over 181,000 children have been vaccinated in the central Gaza area during the 2nd round of the polio vaccination campaign. This comes amid thousands of people are stranded in northern Gaza with water and food running low. It stressed that UNRWA facilities continue to be impacted by Israeli military operations in Gaza enclave. According to Joe English, "Despite a - to put it mildly - highly complex situation in the Gaza Strip, UNICEF, UNRWA, WHO and the Palestinian Ministry of Health completed the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in 14 municipalities of Gaza’s Middle Area". Second Step (October 19 to 22) in occupied Palestinian territory @WHOoPt On the second day of the polio vaccination campaign in southern #Gaza: - 90,716 children were vaccinated 70,722 received vitamin A This brings the total number of children vaccinated since the start of the campaign on 14 Oct to 𝟒𝟐𝟎,𝟏𝟎𝟎, while 𝟑𝟑𝟗,𝟖𝟖𝟓 children have received vitamin A so far. Third step (Gaza City and Northern gaza) The siege of northern Gaza, the intense bombings, the Israeli ground invasion, the completely blocked humanitarian aid have stopped the campaign in the northern part of North Gaza. All international organizations involved in the vaccination campaign have called for an immediate ceasefire. They recalled that without a vaccination rate of 90% of children, the polio virus could mutate and the epidemic spread to the entire population. They highlight the extreme humanitarian crisis affecting the population of the North, without food or water and facing a health system destroyed by Israeli aggression towards hospitals, aid services and civil defense. According to Hind Khoudary, on November 2, Gaza’s north, thousands of children will not get the polio vaccine because they are unreachable. Israeli forces are not letting UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the Palestinian Ministry of Health reach those besieged areas. Incidents: Hind Khoudary, reports on November 2 that the Polio vaccination centre was targeted with sound bombs in Gaza City, Sheikh Radwan Clinic. The bombing injured three children and caused great panic. from an Israeli quadcopter. There are a lot of fragments that fall after these attack injured at least three children. The polio campaign restarted despite challenges faced by the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the Palestinian Ministry of Health. They were denied access, previously unable to cross from the southern Gaza Strip to Gaza City. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director of WHO statement "We have received an extremely concerning report that the Sheikh Radwan primary health care centre in northern #Gaza was struck today while parents were bringing their children to the life-saving #polio vaccination in an area where a humanitarian pause was agreed to allow vaccination to proceed. Six people, including four children, were injured. A WHO team was at the site just before. This attack, during humanitarian pause, jeopardises the sanctity of health protection for children and may deter parents from bringing their children for vaccination.These vital humanitarian-area-specific pauses must be absolutely respected. Ceasefire!" On November 2, while large numbers of children rushed to Muscat Clinic in the Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City to receive polio vaccination, Israeli forces carried out an airstrike killing 1 people and wounding 7 others CHILDREN near the clinic, according to Motasem A Dalloul On November 3, The United Nations reports that a polio vaccination center and the vehicle of a UNICEF official involved in this weekend’s vaccination campaign came under fire despite a declared “humanitarian pause” in Israeli strikes.source : External sources : Source 1 Source 2

UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

Israeli settlers attacked the village of Jalud, south of Nablus, burning a home, a farm with livestock and several cars. [Original post] and physically assaulted villagers. 2 Palestinians were injured in the face and another suffered a skull fracture during the attack. [Tags: Homes, Nature, Looting, Settlement, Fire, Vehicles, Soldiers and Settlers, Baton, Raid, Agriculture, Wounded, Living conditions, Terror, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Apartheid] [Found by: @stopthewall] [Location: West Bank > Nablus > Jalud] [Archivist Notes] Since the beginning of October, and the olive harvest season in Palestine, attacks against Palestinian farmers have increased. Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war. Settlers have already used violence against harvesters, and many fear that the army won't provide adequate protection and will prevent them from accessing their lands. Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently preventing farmers access to their lands, shooting/killing farmers, terror attacks, burning of homes & property, destruction of olive trees, theft of olive harvest. In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning. Source Chronology (ongoing) On November 28 in Salem Village, the Israeli forces obstructed Palestinian farmers' access to their lands in Salem, east of Nablus, preventing them from harvesting olives. Soldiers detained individuals, checked IDs, and used sound bombs and tear gas against youths. They also set up an iron gate at the northern entrance and placed soil berms to block vehicles. On November 25 Palestinian families are prevented from harvesting olives from their groves by Israeli colonial forces in the area of Sahel Turmus-Aya. Before being kicked out of their lands, farmers noticed that their olive trees bore very little fruit. Throughout this past year, the landowners were prevented from accessing their land at the hands of settlers and soldiers, thus making it impossible to tend to their trees properly. The soldiers also attacked a youngster.

Polio vaccination futile if they are killed [Original post] Our children were all martyred." To stop the polio outbreak
· TikTok Genocide (tiktokgenocide.com)

Polio vaccination futile if they are killed [Original post] Our children were all martyred." To stop the polio outbreak in Gaza, the UN has set up a vaccination campaign. But many Palestinian children end up being killed by Israeli strikes before they can receive the second dose: [Tags: Water, Humanitarian Aid, Blocking Aid, Sanitation, Living conditions, Epidemic, Doctors & Volunteers, Healthcare System, Siege] [Found by: @dwnews] [Location: Gaza] [Archivist Notes] A second round of the campaign will follow, ideally within four weeks, to provide a second dose of nOPV2 to children in Gaza to stop the outbreak and prevent its international spread. To repeat this ambitious intervention, reach enough children, and successfully stop further transmission of the poliovirus, WHO, UNICEF and UNRWA are calling on all parties to the conflict to commit to another round of humanitarian pauses, with unimpeded access to children in areas that need special coordination. Ultimately, they ask to a long-lasting ceasefire as all families in the Gaza Strip need peace so they can begin to heal and rebuild their lives. They humanitarian association and NGO obtained the right to provide the second round of Polio vaccination from Israel. The last step, concerning the North seems however compromized by the ground invasion, the complete siege and the blockade of all humnitarian aid in the North of Gaza city. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3 Ministry of Health statement on October 13 On october 13 , while Israeli forces are surrounded the North of Gaza, the Ministry of Health announces the launch of the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip According to the Palestinian Health Minister Dr. Majed Abu Ramadan, the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip will be launched the October 14 for children under ten years old. The vaccination campaign will consist of three stages, the first in the central region of Deir al-Balah and will last three days, from October 14 to 17, and may be extended for an additional day. The second phase will take place in Khan Yunis and Rafah governorates, from October 19 to 22 The third phase will take place in Gaza and North governorates, from October 22 to 25 The second dose of the N-OPV oral polio vaccine will be administered, in addition to vitamin A, which strengthens children's immunity, helps them resist infection and helps improve vision and healthy growth. The campaign aims to vaccinate 591,700 children under the age of ten, and fixed and mobile teams will be deployed to carry out the campaign. The success of this campaign depends on a humanitarian truce to ensure the ability of all polio workers to work in a safe environment and allow families to vaccinate their children. First step (october 14 to 17) On october 14, a strike hit a hospital courtyard, burning the tents where people were sleeping. Just before this, an UNRWA school sheltering families was hit in Nuseirat. That same school was going to be used as a #polio vaccination site today. On October 18, according to , the first phase of the #polio vaccination campaign in central Gaza ha successfully concluded. With 181 429 children under 10 years vaccinated, and 148 064 children between 2-10 years received vitamin A supplements. 8 health facilities in the area will continue to provide polio vaccines for families who hadn't managed to bring their children so far. On october 20n UNRWA says over 181,000 children have been vaccinated in the central Gaza area during the 2nd round of the polio vaccination campaign. This comes amid thousands of people are stranded in northern Gaza with water and food running low. It stressed that UNRWA facilities continue to be impacted by Israeli military operations in Gaza enclave. According to Joe English, "Despite a - to put it mildly - highly complex situation in the Gaza Strip, UNICEF, UNRWA, WHO and the Palestinian Ministry of Health completed the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in 14 municipalities of Gaza’s Middle Area". Second Step (October 19 to 22) in occupied Palestinian territory @WHOoPt On the second day of the polio vaccination campaign in southern #Gaza: - 90,716 children were vaccinated 70,722 received vitamin A This brings the total number of children vaccinated since the start of the campaign on 14 Oct to 𝟒𝟐𝟎,𝟏𝟎𝟎, while 𝟑𝟑𝟗,𝟖𝟖𝟓 children have received vitamin A so far. Third step (Gaza City and Northern gaza) The siege of northern Gaza, the intense bombings, the Israeli ground invasion, the completely blocked humanitarian aid have stopped the campaign in the northern part of North Gaza. All international organizations involved in the vaccination campaign have called for an immediate ceasefire. They recalled that without a vaccination rate of 90% of children, the polio virus could mutate and the epidemic spread to the entire population. They highlight the extreme humanitarian crisis affecting the population of the North, without food or water and facing a health system destroyed by Israeli aggression towards hospitals, aid services and civil defense. According to Hind Khoudary, on November 2, Gaza’s north, thousands of children will not get the polio vaccine because they are unreachable. Israeli forces are not letting UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the Palestinian Ministry of Health reach those besieged areas. Incidents: Hind Khoudary, reports on November 2 that the Polio vaccination centre was targeted with sound bombs in Gaza City, Sheikh Radwan Clinic. The bombing injured three children and caused great panic. from an Israeli quadcopter. There are a lot of fragments that fall after these attack injured at least three children. The polio campaign restarted despite challenges faced by the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the Palestinian Ministry of Health. They were denied access, previously unable to cross from the southern Gaza Strip to Gaza City. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director of WHO statement "We have received an extremely concerning report that the Sheikh Radwan primary health care centre in northern #Gaza was struck today while parents were bringing their children to the life-saving #polio vaccination in an area where a humanitarian pause was agreed to allow vaccination to proceed. Six people, including four children, were injured. A WHO team was at the site just before. This attack, during humanitarian pause, jeopardises the sanctity of health protection for children and may deter parents from bringing their children for vaccination.These vital humanitarian-area-specific pauses must be absolutely respected. Ceasefire!" On November 2, while large numbers of children rushed to Muscat Clinic in the Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City to receive polio vaccination, Israeli forces carried out an airstrike killing 1 people and wounding 7 others CHILDREN near the clinic, according to Motasem A Dalloul On November 3, The United Nations reports that a polio vaccination center and the vehicle of a UNICEF official involved in this weekend’s vaccination campaign came under fire despite a declared “humanitarian pause” in Israeli strikes.source : External sources : Source 1 Source 2
