### **3. Settler armament: state-backed terrorizing of West Bank residents**

A comprehensive report stated that armed settler militias and their attacks in the West Bank are not isolated incidents; rather, they form an officially structured system operating at full capacity, as planned.
The report explained that alongside the genocidal Israeli assault on Gaza that began in October 2023, settler and soldier violence in the West Bank escalated to record levels.
Around 3,000 settler attacks were recorded—resulting in Palestinian casualties and property damage—between October 2023 and mid-2025, including over 1,000 attacks in the first eight months of 2025, and 264 in October 2025 alone—the highest monthly figure since the UN began tracking this phenomenon in 2006.

These include detainees who died inside Israeli prisons due to torture, medical neglect, and denial of healthcare—clear violations of international humanitarian law and all conventions protecting detainees.
The office held the occupation fully responsible for the life and fate of the imprisoned leader Ahmad Sa’adat, Secretary-General of the PFLP, his comrades, and all detainees, especially children and the sick, who are subjected to torture, abuse, administrative detention, and deprivation of basic rights guaranteed by international law.

Hamas expressed strong rejection of Amnesty International’s report on the events of October 7, 2023, describing it as full of inaccuracies and contradictions and based on the occupation’s narrative.
Earlier today, Amnesty International accused Hamas and other Palestinian factions for the first time of committing “crimes against humanity” during the October 7 attack on southern Israel.
On that day, Palestinian factions, led by Hamas, attacked military bases and settlements near Gaza, capturing and killing Israelis in response to what they described as the occupation’s “daily crimes against the Palestinian people and their holy sites, especially Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

The committee reported a sharp rise in journalist killings by Israeli forces since October 7, 2023.
It also noted that the United States failed to hold accountable those responsible for targeting an American journalist in Lebanon, despite international investigators reaching the site of the Israeli attack that killed journalists in southern Lebanon.
Reporters Without Borders said Israel topped the list of countries with the highest number of journalist killings in 2025, maintaining its status as the “most dangerous enemy of media workers.”

The incident reflects a continuing pattern of targeting Palestinian civilians as part of a national group subjected to genocidal acts in Gaza.
The Monitor identified the victim as **Zaher Nasser Shamia**, 16, from Jabalia camp, who was shot and left bleeding. Minutes later, a bulldozer advanced toward him and deliberately crushed him, tearing his body apart.

### **10. BBC yields to public pressure and broadcasts news on “Filton 24”**

After 39 days of campaigns and protests, the BBC agreed to demands from “Prisoners for Palestine” and aired coverage on the situation of hunger-striking activists known as “Filton 24.”
The move followed growing public and parliamentary pressure, including 40 MPs signing an urgent motion warning of mistreatment of the detainees and stressing the need for media coverage.
Activists protested outside the BBC headquarters, saying that ignoring the strikers’ suffering helped conceal the truth and allowed Israeli violations to go unchallenged.
Campaigners continue highlighting the plight of the detainees, who were arrested after targeting an Israeli weapons manufacturer (Elbit) in Bristol, demanding a fair trial and an end to the UK government’s complicity with the occupation.

### **14. Washington bars international diplomats from entering coordination center in Kiryat Gat**

Haaretz reported that the United States is preventing senior diplomats representing their countries to the Palestinian Authority from accessing the Civil-Military Coordination Center in Kiryat Gat, southern Tel Aviv, at Israel’s request.
The first diplomat barred was the head of the Netherlands’ mission to the PA, followed by the representative of Belgium and then the French Consul General in Jerusalem.
A European diplomat told the newspaper that weeks ago, the Americans began requiring that access requests be written and sent to the US Embassy in Jerusalem, but one diplomat who submitted a request received no formal reply and was verbally informed that his access “would not be possible” due to an Israeli demand.
