"A shell fell on our building and forced us to leave: me, my husband and kids, my parents, my sisters Samar and Nada, and my brothers Shadi, Muhammad and Mahmoud with their families – 25 people altogether. > Eventually we headed south, until we reached the checkpoint the army set up in the Netzarim area. The soldiers ordered us to sit on the ground. I was told to take my clothes off, and I stayed in my underwear. >

1/5 The 2.2 million people of Gaza are going hungry. This is not a byproduct of war but a direct result of Israel’s declared policy, which denies them food. Gazans now depend entirely on supplies from outside, as they can no longer produce almost any food themselves. 2/5 Most cultivated fields have been destroyed, and accessing open areas during the war is dangerous in any case. Factories and warehouses have been bombed or shut down due to lack of supplies, fuel and electricity; stockpiles in private homes and stores have long since run out

Original security camera footage obtained by B'Tselem captures two short-range executions of Palestinians in al-Far'ah R.C. on 8 December 2023. At the end of a chase after a group of Palestinians, soldiers in a military jeep shoot Rami Jundob (25), that held what could be an explosive device. Jundob falls down, the jeep got closer, and a soldier fires another shot at him.

בתום מרדף אחרי קבוצת פלסטינים, חיילים יורים מרכב צבאי בראמי ג'ונדב, בן 25, שמחזיק במה שנראה כמו מטען. ג׳ונדב נופל, הרכב מתקרב אליו, וחייל יורה מתוכו עוד ירייה לעברו. ג'ונדב מרים את ידו, והחייל והנהג יורים בו מטווח קצר. לאחר מכן מצלם אחד מהחיילים היורים את ג'ונדב בטלפון שלו. ג'ונדב מת מפצעיו למחרת.

Together with other Israeli human rights and civil society organizations we sent yesterday a letter to @POTUS asking him to use his influence to change Israel's policy and prevent deterioration of the already catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. In the letter (also printed as an advert in todays @nytimes) we wrote " You have the power to influence our government to change its policy and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, in accordance with Israel’s legal obligations and the needs of the population."

Under cover of Gaza war, settlers working to fulfil state goal of Judaizing Area C

Since the war in Gaza began, violence against Palestinians has shot up in the West Bank. > In just ten days, soldiers and settlers have killed 62 Palestinians and injured dozens. Israel has put up roadblocks throughout the West Bank, closed off main roads to Palestinians and significantly restricted their movement. >

One crime does not justify another. The attack against civilians in Gaza must end

Gaza has been under Israeli aerial bombardment for 12 days now, with hardly any breaks. So far, Israeli planes have dropped thousands of tons of explosives on Gaza’s residents. > This is not the first time Israel has bombed the Gaza Strip in this way. This illegal and immoral policy was employed in previous rounds of fighting, during which thousands were killed, including entire families, thousands more were injured and left homeless. >

تخطط إسرائيل لإدخال عشرات آلاف الجنود إلى قطاع غزة في أية لحظة. ليس معروفاً، حتى الآن، نطاق هذا الدخول لكنّ وزراء وضباطاً كباراً في الجيش يدعون، منذ أسبوع، للانتقام ويطلبون إلحاق ضرر واسع وغير معقول بمئات آلاف المواطنين. مُلزَمون بوقف هذا، الآن. > قبل أسبوع، نفذ مسلحو حماس أعمالاً مُرعبة في جنوب البلاد. أكثر من 1,300 قتيل، أكثر من 100 مخطوف، آلاف الجرحى وعشرات المفقودين. >

With @PHRIsrael:

B'Tselem: Revenge policy in motion; Israel committing war crimes in Gaza

On Saturday, hundreds of Palestinian militants entered Israel from the Gaza Strip, killing hundreds of civilians, soldiers and police officers, burning down homes and kidnapping more than 100 people. > The full extent of these horrifying crimes is slowly coming to light.

The same evening, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel is at war with Gaza and will “forcefully avenge“. >

On Saturday, Hamas committed a shocking crime whose horrifying dimensions are slowly becoming clear. Hundreds of Palestinian militants entered Israeli territory and opened fire indiscriminately, killing hundreds of civilians and injuring thousands. > 2/7
They burned down homes with the occupants inside and kidnapped more than 100 people – including children, women and elderly people – to be used as bargaining chips. Many others are still missing, their fate unknown. >

The invasion of armed settlers into Palestinians’ homes yesterday was not exceptional. Nor was the military escort. Nor the police ignoring it. This is how it all works. Subject Palestinians to violence until the leave and take over more land. >

For 2 days, the Israeli military has been operating inside the densely populated Jenin R.C. as if it were a battlefield and not a place where human beings live, work, study and dream.

تصدرت جنين عناوين الصحف مرة أخرى هذا الصباح باقتحام عسكري آخر في مخيم اللاجئين المكتظ، بما في ذلك ولغاية هذه اللحظة وفقا لوزارة الصحة الفلسطينية سقوط أربعة قتلى من بينهم صبي يبلغ من العمر 15 عامًا و 37 جريحاً من بينهم أربعة في حالة حرجة. > 2/10
أصبحت الاقتحامات العسكرية في جنين وغيرها من المدن ومخيمات اللاجئين في الضفة الغربية أمرا شائعًا وفي إسرائيل لا تُثار أي تساؤلات حول هذه الاقتحامات. حيث إن العديد من الضحايا في هذه التوغلات هم من المارة أو المدنيين المقيمين في منازلهم. >

Jenin is in the headlines again following an incursion by the Israeli army into the crowded refugee camp. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, so far, 4 Palestinians have been killed, including a 15 year-old boy, and 37 have been injured. > 2/10
Military incursions into Jenin and other cities and refugee camps in the West Bank, have become a matter of routine, and, in Israel, the military's conduct goes unquestioned. But many of those injured in these incursions are necessarily passers-by or civilians at home. >
