1. Former prisoner from Ramallah dies from injuries sustained in Israeli bombing in Gaza
The former released prisoner and deportee to the Gaza Strip, Farah Ahmad Hamed, from the town of Silwad, northeast of Ramallah, has died from injuries he sustained after being targeted on Al-Rashid Street in the Sheikh Ajleen area, southwest of Gaza City.
Hamed, also known as Farah Al-Natour, spent nearly eight years in the occupation’s prisons. He was released by the resistance on October 18, 2011, as part of the “Wafa Al-Ahrar” deal, and was deported to the Gaza Strip.

2. Injuries, including children, in Israeli bombing targeting Al-Shati refugee camp and Khan Younis
A number of citizens, including children and a woman, were injured as a result of renewed airstrikes carried out by Israeli occupation aircraft against homes and areas crowded with displaced people in various parts of the Gaza Strip.
Local sources reported that occupation aircraft carried out several airstrikes targeting the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza and the Al-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City, in addition to a new strike in western Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. The attacks resulted in extensive damage and injuries among civilians.

The bombing injured six citizens to varying degrees, including children and a woman, all of whom were transferred to Al-Awda Hospital to receive medical treatment.

3. Occupation intensifies raids on residential areas in Gaza: renewed displacement and mounting suffering
Residents of the Gaza Strip need a great deal of time to realize that Israeli bombardment of residential areas is once again returning to the forefront. Over the past two days, the pace of airstrikes on populated areas has increased, hitting homes and densely populated neighborhoods, in an escalation that brings back into view one of the harshest tools of war: striking residential areas and turning them into open fields of fire, forcing families to flee once again.
This escalation comes at a time when Palestinians in the Strip are living amid extremely harsh humanitarian conditions, after vast areas of residential infrastructure were destroyed and hundreds of thousands of residents were forced to live in tents and temporary shelters lacking the minimum necessities for life.

4. Damon female prisoners under repression: organized terror led by Ben Gvir
Violations against Palestinian female prisoners in Damon Prison are escalating, amid a campaign of repression that prisoner organizations say is no longer a matter of individual practices by prison officers, but has become part of a systematic policy receiving direct political backing from far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
The Palestine Center for Prisoners’ Studies said that the female prisoners are subjected to repeated acts of repression, at a rate of three or four operations per week. These include forcibly removing them from their rooms, handcuffing them, blindfolding them, and forcing them to sit in humiliating positions, in addition to confiscating their belongings, blankets, and mattresses, tearing some of them apart, damaging their possessions, and destroying food supplies.

5. Humanitarian aid in Gaza under Israeli blackmail: when relief becomes a political tool
According to the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, the Israeli occupation’s control over humanitarian aid heading to the Gaza Strip has gone beyond controlling the entry of trucks and the quantities of relief supplies, extending to the imposition of political conditions on countries involved in coordinating the aid. This turns an extremely sensitive humanitarian issue into a tool of pressure on governments and Palestinians.
This came after the occupying state excluded British representatives from the international aid support center in “Kiryat Gat,” in response to London’s decision to impose trade sanctions on settlements in the West Bank.

6. Gaza prepares for winter with worn-out tents: urgent appeal to save displaced people before the rainy season
Before the winter rains begin in Gaza, the shelter crisis is once again moving to the forefront of the humanitarian scene, with thousands of displaced families remaining in tents and temporary shelters that do not provide even the minimum protection from the cold and water.
In this context, the Director General of Gaza’s Government Media Office, Ismail Al-Thawabta, issued an urgent appeal to unite local and international efforts and save displaced families from the consequences of the coming winter season.

7. Within 24 hours: settler attacks escalate in the West Bank and a child is injured
Over the past 24 hours, the West Bank has witnessed a series of widespread attacks by settlers, concentrated in the governorates of Ramallah, Nablus, Bethlehem, Hebron, and Tubas, resulting in the injury of a Palestinian child.
In the village of Abu Nujeim, southeast of Bethlehem, a settler ran over a Palestinian child, while settlers continued to repeatedly raid the same village. Settlers also entered agricultural lands in Khalayel Al-Louz, south of Bethlehem, and began construction work there.

8. #Video.. Occupation releases prisoner in critical health condition
#Watch… After three years of detention, the occupation forces released Palestinian prisoner Muath Saeed Abdul Rahman Al-Qarqi from the city of Dura, south of the occupied West Bank. He was transferred to hospital in critical health condition, showing signs of torture and medical neglect, and was unable to speak.

9. Ottawa mayor evades protesters during May Day march
Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe faced a wave of widespread anger and accusations of “cowardice” after avoiding confronting and speaking with protesters who had gathered to question him during the May Day march.
The protests came to denounce Sutcliffe’s policies, described as anti-worker and anti-people, as well as to demand accountability over the systematic police repression he carried out against protesters and supporters of the Palestinian cause in the city since 2023.

10. Calls for protest outside Ireland’s Department of Finance to prevent financing of Israeli bonds
Activists in the capital Dublin called for an urgent protest outside the headquarters of the Department of Finance, in order to pressure the government and prevent the Central Bank of Ireland from approving new financial facilities for the Israeli occupation.
The event is scheduled to take place under the slogan “Stop Financing Genocide.”

The call comes after reports emerged that the Central Bank was considering approving the issuance of additional “genocide bonds” to support the occupation’s economy, which organizers regard as direct financing of the crime of apartheid and the massacres committed against the Palestinian people.

11. “Opponents of Genocide” group storms Fanuc company in Britain over its complicity in supporting the occupation
Activists from the “Opponents of Genocide” group stormed the headquarters of British company “Fanuc,” which specializes in supplying industrial robots, to protest its alleged complicity in supporting the Israeli occupation army.
The action was intended to disrupt the company-supported weapons assembly lines, as “Fanuc” supplies advanced technologies and robots to Israeli company “Elbit Systems” to ensure the continuation of intensive production of tank and artillery shells.

12. Activists call for demonstration in Dublin demanding boycott of football matches with the occupation
The Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign called for people to gather outside the headquarters of the government’s sports department in the Irish capital, Dublin, to pressure authorities to boycott the upcoming matches against the Israeli occupation team.
The event, scheduled for Tuesday, September 15, aims to deliver an official letter calling on the Irish Football Association and government authorities to completely withdraw from UEFA Nations League matches, refusing to play against an entity that practices apartheid and the crime of genocide against Palestinians.

13. Three activists arrested in Britain after blockading Israeli company
Police in Britain arrested three activists after they successfully blockaded and shut down “Keysight Technologies” in the city of Telford for more than seven consecutive hours.
The activists sprayed the company’s building with red paint as a symbol of the bloodshed of Palestinians, using lock-on devices to prevent entry to the facility, which is considered a major supplier of chips and weapons-technology systems to Israeli company Elbit Systems.

14. 26 French activists sue the occupation over its crimes against Gaza blockade-breaking flotillas
Twenty-six French participants and activists from the Freedom Flotilla Alliance filed official legal complaints before French courts, seeking to pursue Israeli occupation leaders over the crimes and military attacks carried out by the occupation army against flotillas heading toward the Gaza Strip during 2025 and 2026.
This legal step was taken to break what the organizers describe as the state of impunity enjoyed by the Zionist colonial entity and to hold accountable those responsible for targeting international solidarity activists in international waters.

15. Australian campaign to impose sanctions and cut military and economic support for the occupation
The Australian Jewish Council (JCA), in cooperation with the Australian Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN), launched a new legislative campaign called the “Red Lines Package,” urging the Australian Parliament to impose comprehensive economic and military sanctions against the occupying entity.
The campaign is being launched with the support of the Greens and independent senators, and with the endorsement of Australian human rights lawyer and member of the UN Commission of Inquiry Chris Sidoti. Its aim is to pass legislation ensuring an end to any Australian funding, arming, or investment in the settlements, and to end complicity in the ongoing war crimes and genocide in the Gaza Strip.

16. Dublin Gaelic clubs vote to enforce human rights and cancel sponsorships by complicit corporations
Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) clubs in Dublin voted overwhelmingly in favor of a proposal put forward by “St. Joseph OCB” club, calling on the association to cancel sponsorships involving complicit commercial alliances and to include strict human rights provisions in all its future contracts.
The approved proposal requires all commercial agreements and sports sponsorships of the association to be aligned with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

17. Britain: criticism over delaying ban on trade with settlements
British Green Party MP Ellie Chowns criticized her country’s decision to wait six to nine months before banning trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
Chowns directed her criticism at British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, saying: “In light of the genocide that has been ongoing for years in Gaza and the escalating ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, why are we waiting six to nine months? Isn’t that far too long? We need to speed things up.”

18. Protests in New York’s Times Square
The city’s streets witnessed tensions and heated verbal clashes between participants and groups of Zionists and supporters of the occupation, who reacted with anger and distress as slogans and chants echoed across the square, raising the question: “America First or Israel?”
The protesters demanded an immediate end to the occupation, an end to policies of apartheid and forced displacement that have continued for decades, affirming the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes in accordance with international law, and rejecting unconditional U.S. support for the Israeli war machine.

19. Boycott movement launches global week to boycott Palantir
The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against “Israel” launched an international call to organize the “Global Week of Action: People Against Palantir,” with the aim of peacefully disrupting the company’s normal operations from September 29 through October 1.
The campaign comes in partnership with social justice organizations and labor unions around the world, to confront the technological and intelligence support that the company provides to the Israeli occupation army in committing its crimes.

20. “New York Times” criticizes settler violence while forgetting the “state” that shelters it
The American newspaper “New York Times” published a report on the violence of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, while a reader unfamiliar with the political reality of the region might believe that it was an attempt to expose a dangerous reality represented by the ongoing attacks against Palestinians and the impunity surrounding them.
However, the fundamental problem with the newspaper’s framing does not lie in condemning settler violence, but rather in the framework presented by the report, which portrays it as a threat to what is called “Israeli democracy” and as a deviation from the values of the “state,” as though the settlers were an uncontrolled force operating outside the governing system.

21. Occupation decides to close British consulate in Jerusalem and expel its diplomats
The Israeli occupation authorities informed the British Consulate General in occupied Jerusalem that it must close within 30 days, with the accreditation of its diplomatic staff being revoked.
The decision included the immediate expulsion and entry ban of 12 British officials and diplomats, in addition to removing, within seven days, the representatives appointed to the international aid coordination mission for the Gaza Strip who reside in “Kiryat Gat,” as well as diplomats working in Ramallah.

The move came in response to the British government’s decision to impose a comprehensive ban on the import of goods from illegal settlements in the West Bank.
