Israeli settlers set fire to the Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Mosque near Nablus before dawn prayers on the first Monday of Ramadan, spraying ‘Price Tag’ graffiti on its walls — as Israeli occupation forces conducted simultaneous raids, arrests, and a home demolition across the West Bank.
On the first day of Ramadan, Israeli occupation forces imposed sweeping movement restrictions around Al-Aqsa Mosque — capping West Bank access at 10,000 worshippers and issuing more than 250 expulsion orders — while simultaneously demolishing a residential building housing over 40 Palestinians in Hebron.
Palestinian Prisoner Society lawyers documented Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stomping on detainees’ heads and filming the abuse during a raid on Ofer Prison’s Section 26 — part of an ongoing pattern of calculated brutality against over 9,300 Palestinian prisoners.
Israeli forces shot a woman and two children near displacement tents outside the declared ceasefire boundary in Khan Yunis. UNRWA reports that 90% of Gaza’s schools have been damaged or destroyed — and the facilities that remain are functioning as shelters, not classrooms.
An Israeli court denied entry to a five-year-old Palestinian cancer patient registered in Gaza, blocking a bone marrow transplant his doctors called urgently necessary — because the child’s registry classification overrides his medical need, his West Bank residence, and his life.

Gaza’s confirmed death toll has passed 72,000, with 576 more Palestinians killed since the October ceasefire took effect — a ceasefire Israeli forces have violated more than 1,500 times. Researchers say the actual toll may be far higher, with bodies still buried beneath the rubble.
UNICEF reports that at least 37 children have been killed in Gaza since January 1, 2026 — adding to the more than 100 children killed during the three months following the October ceasefire. The agency warns conditions remain ‘extremely fragile and deadly’ for children across the territory.
