1. Three martyrs in Israeli attacks east of Gaza

Three citizens were killed and others injured as a result of attacks by Israeli occupation forces, as ceasefire violations continue for the 91st consecutive day.
A local source reported the martyrdom of citizen Youssef Mahmoud Al-Harazin (26 years old) near the Al-Sikka junction east of Gaza City.

**2. Occupation army raids a wedding in Jerusalem and arrests the groom**

Israeli occupation forces stormed a wedding hall in the town of Al-Eizariya in occupied Jerusalem during a wedding ceremony. They fired live ammunition and sound grenades, used pepper spray, and assaulted several guests before arresting a number of people, including the groom.
In a related development, occupation forces raided the town of Turmus Ayya north of Ramallah, where military vehicles patrolled the streets without reports of arrests. Local sources said the forces closed the town’s entrance during their withdrawal and prevented citizens’ vehicles from passing, causing a severe traffic jam.

**3. UNRWA: Gaza’s children are in urgent need of warmth and proper nutrition**

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) confirmed that children in the Gaza Strip continue to live in dire conditions due to restrictions imposed by Israeli occupation forces on the entry of humanitarian aid.
The agency stated that “children in the Gaza Strip should feel warmth, receive proper nutrition, and have sufficient safety to look toward their future.”
It also pointed to the children’s urgent need for humanitarian assistance that remains stranded outside Gaza because of occupation-imposed restrictions.

**4. Settlers launch attacks in multiple areas of the West Bank**

Settlers attacked several areas of the occupied West Bank, storming the Shalal Al-Auja community north of Jericho, assaulting a young man in Salfit, and attacking the villages of Al-Mughayyir northeast of Ramallah.
Local sources said that a number of settlers stormed the Shalal Al-Auja community, spread among citizens’ homes, and deliberately grazed their livestock on residents’ crops.

**5. Human rights center: Israel turns the ceasefire into cover for killing Palestinians in Gaza**

The Gaza Center for Human Rights said that Israeli army forces have turned the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip into a cover for killing Palestinian civilians, confirming the documentation of an average of five Palestinians killed daily over 90 days since the agreement came into effect.
The center explained that Israeli forces continue to commit the crime of genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip through deliberate and systematic killing of civilians, including children and women, in blatant and intentional violation of the ceasefire agreement in force since October 10, 2025, as well as international humanitarian law and international human rights law.

Settlers also stole 200 heads of sheep during their raid on the village of Kobar northwest of Ramallah.

**7. Germany blocks the Samidoun website for the defense of Palestinian prisoners**

The “Samidoun Network for the Defense of Palestinian Prisoners” announced its rejection and condemnation of the German authorities’ decision to block its website, considering the move “direct support for the ongoing Israeli occupation war on the Gaza Strip and for repressive policies against Palestinian prisoners.”
The network stated that “the decision issued by official media bodies in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia to block the Samidoun website for all internet service and data transmission providers cannot be considered an administrative or technical measure, but rather a hostile political act aimed at silencing the Palestinian voice and criminalizing solidarity with its just liberation struggle.”

**8. Alone on the snow in Finland in solidarity with Palestine**

Alone on the snow, a Finnish man wearing a keffiyeh and raising the Palestinian flag stands in solidarity with the people of the Gaza Strip, despite the extreme cold.

**9. Protest outside JPMorgan headquarters in Glasgow over investments in genocide**

Pro-Palestine activists from the group “Prisoners for Palestine” protested outside the headquarters of JPMorgan—one of the world’s largest banks and financial institutions—in Glasgow, aiming to raise awareness about the hunger strike by detainees in UK prisons (“Feltham 24”) and to denounce the company’s profiting from the Zionist genocide machine through its investments in Israel’s largest arms manufacturer, Elbit Systems.
Medical experts warned that hunger strikers, some of whom have exceeded 60 days without food, face the risk of permanent damage and a sharply increased likelihood of death or irreversible harm.

**10. International campaign to boycott the fuel company Chevron for supporting the occupation**

The boycott movement called for escalating international efforts to boycott Chevron, amid accusations that the company fuels imperial aggression and exploitative policies from Venezuela to Palestine.
This call comes due to Chevron’s ownership of stakes or partnerships with Israeli companies operating in energy and technology sectors linked to the occupation, including companies that support military infrastructure or gas projects in the Mediterranean Sea.
In addition, some of Chevron’s projects in the eastern Mediterranean involve developing gas resources near the occupied Palestinian coast, facilitating Israeli control over the Palestinian people’s natural resources.

**11. Decline in Israeli potato exports in European markets: a victory for the boycott**

Israeli potato exports to Europe are witnessing a noticeable decline amid the international boycott of occupation exports as the war of genocide on Gaza continues.
Israeli production amounts to about 350,000 tons annually, with around 80% of production relying on the western Negev / southern Gaza areas, which have been severely damaged by the war on Gaza.
Despite a relative increase in production, the boycott and the reduction of European imports have led to a drop in export quantities to 30,000–50,000 tons annually, demonstrating the tangible impact of popular and international pressure on the Israeli economy.

**12. Stanford University students face trial after pro-Palestine protest**

The trial of five current and former Stanford University students began yesterday, Friday, following a pro-Palestine protest in June 2024, during which demonstrators briefly occupied the university president’s offices to demand an end to ties with companies supporting the occupation.
Authorities initially arrested 12 people after they barricaded themselves inside the offices for several hours, later issuing charges against 11 of them related to vandalism and trespassing.
Five students, including German Gonzalez, chose to defend themselves and demand a fair jury trial, asserting that their protest aimed to exercise their constitutional right to free speech and peaceful assembly against policies they believe harm the Palestinian people.
The defense said the students did not intend to harm anyone, while the prosecutor demanded financial compensation of up to $329,000 for alleged material damage. The students, meanwhile, emphasized the message they sought to convey and their participation in a national movement for Palestinian rights.

**13. U.S. senator calls for accelerating the end of military aid to Israel**

Prominent Republican Senator Lindsey Graham called for accelerating the process of ending the annual military aid provided by the United States to the Israeli occupation government, after statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the future of this support sparked strong reactions in U.S. political circles.
Graham, known for his close ties to Israel, said that U.S. assistance to Israel had been “an excellent investment” that helped enhance the occupation army’s capabilities through technology exchange, making it more capable and advanced. He noted that Netanyahu’s recent statements prompt a reconsideration of the timeline for U.S. military support to Israel.

**14. Turkish Presidency commemorates Gaza journalists on their day**
