🚨The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights says it has collected new testimonies from recently released captives and documented systematic sexual torture of Palestinian detainees, including rape, forced stripping, and filming, describing it as part of Israel’s broader campaign to destroy human dignity in Gaza. Among the cases is N.A., a 42-year-old mother from northern Gaza, who told PCHR she was raped four times by Israeli soldiers and subjected to repeated torture and humiliation in detention after she was detained while passing through an Israeli checkpoint set up in northern Gaza in November 2024. 📌 Her testimony in full: “At dawn I heard the soldiers shouting, saying that morning prayers were forbidden, and I think it was the fourth day after my arrest from Gaza. The soldiers moved me to a place I didn’t know because my eyes were blindfolded, and they ordered me to take off my clothes. I did so. They put me on a metal table, pressed my chest and head against it, cuffed my hands to the end of the bed, and pulled my legs apart forcefully. I felt a penis penetrating my anus and a man raping me. I started screaming, and they beat me on my back and head while I was blindfolded. I felt the man who was raping me ejaculate inside my anus. I kept screaming and being beaten, and I could hear a camera—so I believe they were filming me. The rape lasted about 10 minutes. After that, they left me for an hour in the same position, with my hands cuffed to the bed with metal handcuffs, my face on the bed, my feet on the floor, and I was completely naked. Again, after an hour, I was raped fully in the same position, with penetration into my vagina, and I was beaten while I screamed. There were several soldiers; I heard them laughing and the camera clicking as it took pictures. This rape was very quick and there was no ejaculation. During the rape they beat me with their hands on my head and back. Again, after an hour, I was raped fully in the same position, with penetration into my vagina, and I was beaten while I screamed. There were several soldiers; I heard them laughing and the camera clicking as it took pictures. This rape was very quick and there was no ejaculation. During the rape they beat me with their hands on my head and back. I cannot describe what I felt; I wished for death every moment. After they raped me, I was left alone in the same room, hands still cuffed to the bed and without clothes for many hours. I could hear the soldiers outside speaking Hebrew and laughing. Later, I was raped again vaginally. I screamed, but they beat me whenever I tried to resist. After more than an hour, I’m not sure about the time, a masked soldier entered, removed my blindfold, lifted his face covering; he had white skin and was tall. He asked if I spoke English; I said no. He said he was Russian and ordered me to masturbate his penis. I refused, and he hit me in the face after raping me. That day I was raped twice. I was left naked the whole day in the room where I spent three days. On the first day I was raped twice; on the second day I was raped twice; on the third day I remained without clothes while they looked at me through the door slit and filmed me. One soldier said they would post my photos on social media. While I was in the room, my period started; then they told me to put on clothes and transferred me to another room.” Palestinian Centre for Human Rights: November 10, 2025.

UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini, in an op-ed for The Guardian today, says Gaza’s recovery depends on allowing the UN agency to “work freely and independently” after the ceasefire. He writes that “UNRWA, with its thousands of Palestinian personnel, has the capacity, expertise and community trust required to provide healthcare, education and other public services to a devastated population.” “UNRWA’s teachers, doctors and engineers have long formed a vital part of public services for millions of Palestinian refugees,” he adds.

Hamas said only one truck of eggs has entered Gaza in 31 days of ceasefire, accusing Israel of deliberately keeping the enclave paralyzed. ➤ Essential food items, particularly protein-rich supplies like meat, eggs, and livestock, remain blocked. ➤ Just 8% of the agreed fuel has been allowed in — vital for hospital generators, transport, and infrastructure repairs. ➤ Only 5% of tents and shelter materials have been permitted. Hamas said Israel is “systematically preventing the return of life” by starving Gaza of essential supplies. Read the full list of ceasefire violations below ⬇️

Hamas said Israel has violated the ceasefire by occupying 33 square kilometers beyond the agreed withdrawal zone. In a new statement today, the movement detailed that Israeli forces have established fortified firing positions 400–1,050 meters inside the Yellow Line, moved military vehicles into those areas, and placed concrete barriers extending 200–800 meters past the agreed temporary boundary. Israeli forces killed two Palestinians near the Yellow Line in southern Gaza earlier today, claiming without evidence that they had crossed the line and posed an “immediate threat” to soldiers. Al Jazeera reported that one of those killed was a child.

The irony is exhausting. A BBC editor who helped whitewash a genocide now claiming “fear and distress” because someone dared to hold him accountable. Palestinian journalists have been hunted, bombed, and silenced while doing the job he gets paid to distort.

You’re witnessing two Palestinian children, Mohammad Atyem and Mohammad Rashad Fadl Qasem, being shot and killed by Israeli soldiers in the town of Al-Judeira, north of Jerusalem.

After murdering them, the occupation seized their bodies and have refused to return them to their families.

🔴 BREAKING: Israel Launches New Wave of Strikes Across Southern Lebanon The Israeli military has unleashed heavy airstrikes across various parts of southern Lebanon in what Al Jazeera described as the most serious escalation since the ceasefire that ended the 2024 war with Hezbollah. Israel’s security cabinet convened today to assess the escalating situation in Lebanon, Israel’s Channel 12 reports. The outlet earlier said that Israeli officials are preparing for a potential new confrontation with Hezbollah, aimed at weakening the group and pushing both Hezbollah and the Lebanese government toward what they describe as a “stable agreement” with Israel. Lebanon’s Army, L’Orient Today reports, submitted its second monthly report today to the Cabinet outlining operations carried out south of the Litani River to locate and dismantle Hezbollah weapons depots and other military infrastructure in the border area. 📸 Israeli airstrike hits an iron workshop and a sawmill between the towns of Tura and Al-Abbasiyeh in south Lebanon.

🇵🇸 104 U.S. Lawmakers Urge Israel to Halt Demolitions in West Bank Village Featured in Oscar-Winning Documentary Over 100 members of Congress, led by Reps. Jamie Raskin, Jerrold Nadler, Jim Himes, Sara Jacobs, and Dan Goldman, have called on Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to immediately cancel demolition orders in the Palestinian village of Umm al-Kheir, where 13 homes and a community center are slated for destruction. Lawmakers warned the demolitions would make families homeless “as winter descends,” serving only to expand settlements “in naked violation of international law.” They cited years of settler violence, including the July 2025 killing of community leader Awdah Hathaleen by a U.S.-sanctioned settler who faced no charges. Advocacy groups J Street and New Jewish Narrative praised the letter, calling Israel’s actions “cruel” and urging Washington not to remain silent about policies that forcibly displace Palestinians. Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin As captured in the Academy Award-winning documentary No Other Land, the West Bank Village of Umm Al-Kheir has endured years of violent attacks by settlers and vigilantes. @RepJerryNadler , @jahimes , @RepSaraJacobs , @RepDanGoldman and I are now demanding PM Netanyahu abandon demolition orders to destroy the village’s homes and community center.
