695 Martyrs Recorded in Gaza and in the West Bank during the Past Seven Days

The Media Observatory of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for Israeli Crimes against the Palestinians recorded the killing of 695 Palestinian, during the period from February 4 to 10, 2025, 18 of whom were murdered in the Gaza Strip by the fire of the occupation forces, and 5 were murdered in the West Bank as a result of the continuous Israeli bombing on Palestinian camps. In addition to the recovery of 99 bodies from under the rubble in the Gaza Strip, and the documentation of the killing of 572 others during the Israeli aggression on the Strip before the ceasefire was announced. The OIC Observatory also documented a total of 49,119 Palestinians murdered and 118,371 wounded from October 7, 2023, to February 10, 2025.

The aforementioned monitoring period witnessed a clear international rejection of US President Donald Trump’s call to forcibly displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, amid Israeli reports about designating the Ramon Airport crossings in the Negev and the Ashdod Port as points of displacement for Palestinians from Gaza. These developments came amid a severe shortage of basic requirements for the residents of the destroyed Jabalia camp, and the people of Gaza in general, while the occupation army forced the residents of Gaza to return to its north on foot while continuing to ban Palestinians from approaching the Rafah crossing in the south.

The World Health Organization stated that 14,000 sick and injured Palestinians need medical evacuation from the Strip, including 5,000 children.

However, it became clear that Israel, the occupying power, despite the ceasefire, was keen to perpetuate its crimes by continuing to prevent the entry of all aid and the catastrophic consequences of its crimes on the people of the Gaza Strip. In addition to Gaza, Israel continues its crimes in the West Bank and occupied Al-Quds, where the occupation forces forcibly displaced 3,000 Palestinians from the Far’a camp, in addition to the previous displacement that included 90% of the residents of the Jenin camp and displacement operations that included the Tulkarm camps, just as it did in Jabalia and Beit Lahia in the Gaza Strip. Israeli drones bombed Palestinian homes and individuals in the town of Tamoun three times over the past few days, and the occupation forces bulldozed streets and destroyed the infrastructure in the Far’a camp in Tubas, Balata in Nablus, and in the city of Nablus itself. The occupation forces damaged the water network in the Al-Ashareen area in Tubas, blew up the water tank gate in the northern neighborhood of Al-Far’a camp, and filled in two wells used to collect water in Hebron. They also cut off electricity to the town of Tamoun after shooting at the electrical transformer that supplies the town, in a clear indication that Israel is using the same criminal methods to strike the infrastructure and public services as a collective punishment against the Palestinian people.

With regard to the attacks on the health sector, the Israeli forces detained two ambulances belonging to the Red Crescent and subjected them to inspection, prevented a third one from passing in the town of Aqraba, crashed another in Al-Far’a camp, detained an ambulance in Tulkarm, and shot at the fifth one in the town of Tamoun and arrested its crew. The occupation forces continued their siege of the following hospitals: “Governmental Hospital”, “Thabet Thabet Hospital”, and “Al-Isra Hospital” in Tulkarm.

In terms of attacks on the education sector during the mentioned period, the occupation forces stormed the Faculty of Engineering at Al-Quds University, while settlers stormed the Arab Al-Kaabneh School and cut off its electricity. They also demolished the wall of the Tamoun Elementary Boys School.

During the period from February 4 to 10, 2025, the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque was subjected to almost daily raids, during which two Palestinians were forcibly removed from the Mosque. The occupation forces also raided and searched the Hudhayfah and Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq mosques in the town of Tamoun.

The Israeli forces destroyed and blew up nearly fifty homes of Palestinians in Al-Quds, Jenin, Hebron, Tulkarm, Salfit, and Nablus, and burned another in Jenin. The occupation authorities also demolished 14 agricultural barns in Tubas, Salfit, Hebron, and Jericho, and arrested 216 Palestinians.

The Israeli occupation forces also carried out four settlement activities by bulldozing and paving a settlement road with the aim of expanding the “Vir Yeriho” settlement in Jericho, expanding a settlement outpost near the village of Al-Jiftlik, and erecting arbors near the Tayasir checkpoint and in the northern Jordan Valley. These actions were accompanied by 27 attacks by Israeli settlers, during which they committed acts of theft, looting, vandalism, and destruction of fodder and water tanks in Jericho, in addition to stealing 20 sheep in Ramallah, cutting off olive tree branches in the village of Duma in Nablus, and attacking vehicles in Hebron and Ramallah.

In total, these crimes, including the crimes committed by the occupation forces, accounted for a total of 1,848 crimes in seven days across the West Bank, occupied Al-Quds, and the Gaza Strip.
