In a separate Israeli strike, a civilian was killed in Rafah. **Names of the martyrs:** 1. Ibrahim Saadi Al-Zamili 2. Yousef Khaled Al-Zamili 3. Bilal Ali Al-Maghari

Mohammad Zaher Taysir Ibrahim, a 15-year-old Palestinian-American boy from Florida, has been illegally imprisoned by the Israeli occupation after being abducted at his family home in Al‑Mazra’a ash‑Sharqiya, near Ramallah, near Silwad on February 15, 2025. He is detained in Israel's Megiddo prison since February, accused without evidence of throwing a rock on an empty street, a charge routinely used to criminalize Palestinian youth. He’s endured inhumane conditions, lost over 25 pounds, and contracted scabies. His health has severely decline and his family fears for his life, as other prisoners have died from torture, disease, and starvation. Despite their pleas, major U.S. media outlets have ignored the case. Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim was arrested on February 15, 2025, during a predawn raid on his family home in al‑Mazra’a ash‑Sharqiya (also referred to as Silwad) in the occupied West Bank. He was just 15 years old at the time. According to his family, masked Israeli soldiers broke down the door, blindfolded and handcuffed him, and then transported him to Megiddo Prison in Israel, where he remains in pre‑trial detention on rock‑throwing charges—accusations his family strongly denies Denied regular family contact and facing a broken military court system designed to silence Palestinians, Mohammad’s case reflects the brutal reality countless Palestinian children endure under the occupation’s apartheid. Tragically, Mohammed’s cousin, 20-year-old Sayfollah “Saif” Musallet, was killed in a violent settler attack on July 11 in the West Bank. He and others were hunted by a large group of armed Israeli settlers who beat and tortured young Palestinians. Saif was struck, beaten, and left to die, while Israeli forces blocked medical aid. Another victim, Muhammad “Rizik” al-Shalabi, was also killed after being shot and beaten. **According to Defence For Children-Palestine on Oct 21, 2025** He was initially held in Megiddo Prison (in northern Israel) for several months, then transferred to Ofer Prison (in the occupied West Bank). His detention is tied to a charge of throwing stones — a charge he denies. He reports extremely poor conditions in detention: overcrowded rooms with light mattresses and inadequate bedding, no heating or cooling, very meagre meals (e.g., three small pieces of bread and spoonfuls of labneh for breakfast, tiny portions for lunch, often no dinner or fruit) and limited hygiene access. He has reportedly lost a significant amount of weight during his detention and suffered from a scabies infestation, attributed to overcrowding, lack of hygiene, and medical neglect. The case has drawn diplomatic and human rights attention: He is the only U.S. citizen among the hundreds of Palestinian children held in Israeli military detention, and his family is pressing the U.S. government for intervention.Human rights organizations cite his case as illustrative of broader concerns: the prosecution of Palestinian children in military courts, detention without adequate legal representation, and deteriorating prison conditions since the escalation of conflict in October 2023. **Pressure and campaign to his release:** U.S. State Department appoints official (Guardian – 27 Sept 2025): The U.S. State Department appointed a dedicated official to oversee Mohammed’s case, marking an escalation in U.S. diplomatic involvement. More than 100 civil-rights, faith-based and advocacy groups in the U.S. have urged his release, citing his deteriorating health and lack of legal representation. Pressure mounts for U.S. government to act (The Washington Post – 23 Oct 2025): After eight months in detention without trial, Mohammed remains incarcerated despite a large prisoner exchange following a cease-fire. Twenty-seven U.S. lawmakers wrote to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and U.S. Ambassador to Israel to demand his release and note his mounting health issues. The Israeli military charges him with rock-throwing, which could carry a sentence of up to 20 years, even though evidence has not been publicly presented. His family says his condition has worsened (significant weight loss, limited contact), they fear for his life, and they no longer feel safe where they are living **Liberation:** Mohammed was eventually released on Novemebr 27, 2025 thanks to the pressure of some US political figure, as Senator Van Hollen. **Campaign by Jasper Nathaniel:** Israel’s two big moves to double down on keeping Mohammed earlier this month — the embassy letter packed with disinformation and Netanyahu’s statement accusing him of a “potentially deadly crime” — completely backfired. They pissed people off, triggered a wave of calls to lawmakers, pushed more media coverage, and led outlets and officials to fact-check those spurious claims with Israeli authorities, ultimately creating the pressure that tipped the scales. In other words: holding Israel to account for its lies can pay off.

Late afternoon, Israeli troops opened fire on Palestinians inspecting their home in the Bureij camp, killing a 15 y/o child **Name of the martyr:** - Anas Saqr Ahmed Al-Nabahin

Around 10:30 am, Israeli tanks opened fire in the Saudi neighborhood in Tal al-Sultan, west of Rafah, killing a young man who succumbed shortly to injuries. **Name of the martyr:** - Muhammad Nafez Hosni Abu Taha

**On February 11**, Isreali forces raided Sa’ir near al-Khalil in the southern West Bank. They fired several young people, killing one and injured 3. ## A filmed summary execution - A Palestinian young man, 19-year-old Abdullah Murad Hussein Al-Faroukh, was killed when walking in the street. The moment of his summary execution was filmed. ### 3 others were injured by Israeli gunfire : - Earlier, the Palestinian Red Crescent reported that a young man was seriously injured by live bullets in the chest. - The Red Crescent also said that another young man was shot and injured in the abdomen and limbs - Another young man was shot in the abdomen and was transferred to the hospital for treatment, the source added. ### Targeting and injuring children in their home -**Jannat Faisal Sabri Mutawar**, a 8-year-old Palestinian girl, was seriously injured in the eyes and face after Israeli occupation forces opened fire on her house in Sa'ir around 5 p.m. According to Wafa, she was injured by bullet shrapnel in her eyes and face while she was hugging her little brother Muhammad (3 years old) in order to protect him, while Israeli soldiers were tagerting them through the windows of their home. According to her father, Faisal Al-Mutwar : *“Jannat is my eldest child and has two siblings. They were all inside the house when the tragedy began. Her younger brother, Mohammed, was standing on the bed in the bedroom, facing a window overlooking the courtyard of the house, as the occupation forces stormed the area. **Jannat rushed to her brother to protect him and move him away from the window after she saw one of the occupation soldiers pointing his rifle at him.** She was able to get him down, and as soon as she completed the mission and raised her head, a bullet fired by that soldier penetrated the window glass into the bedroom, hitting her scalp. The bullet exploded, and its fragments mixed with the shattered glass from the window, a large portion of which landed in the girl's eyes and face. At the sound of gunfire and screaming, Jannat’s mother rushed to the room. Jannat had closed her eyes, her face covered in blood, screaming and shouting. So I quickly carried her outside, **but the occupation soldiers deployed around the house and firing bullets at the citizens prevented her from leaving in search of help**. **Jannat remained bleeding until one of her uncles was able to reach her and transport her to Al-Mezan Hospital, after having traveled a long distance and taken alternative routes due to an occupation forces checkpoint that completely closed the entrance to the town, preventing citizens from moving**.”* Her family rushed her to Alia Governmental Hospital before she was transferred with severe eye injuries caused by bullet and glass fragments to Al-Mizan Specialized Hospital in Hebron for emergency treatment. Her vision is nearly lost, requiring multiple surgeries. Doctors removed shrapnel from her right eye, slightly improving her vision, but significant damage remains. Her left eye has little to no chance of recovery. Psychologically, Janat is deeply traumatized, suffering from severe shock, panic attacks, and nightmares where she envisions being hunted by monsters—symbols of the soldiers who harmed her. Her case reflects the ongoing suffering of Palestinians amid the aggression in Gaza.  *Jannat Faisal Sabri Mutawar* Similar attacks were also reported in the Al-Shuyukh town, adjacent to Sa’ir, after being stormed by the IDF troops. A bulldozer and a sawmill were also confiscated during the raid.

**On February 11, 2025,** 10 Israeli military vehicles, accompanied by two bulldozers, stormed the village of Deir Ibzi', west of Ramallah, on the morning, and demolished a two-story house under the pretext that it was built without a permit. - The targeted house is owned by local resident Ihab Al-Sa'afin, and that 16 people live in it. - Its area is 200 square meters. **Context :** Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Deir Ibzi has been under Israeli occupation. The population in the 1967 census conducted by the Israeli authorities was 536, 34 of whom originated from the Israeli territory. After the 1995 accords, 27% of village land was classified as Area B, the remaining 73% as Area C. Israel has confiscated land from Deir Ibzi for bypass roads, in addition to 22 dunams taken for the Israeli settlement of Dolev.This included spring Ein Bubin, now used by the Israeli settlers in Dolev for their own irrigation projects. The report of the *'Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission'* stated that the occupation authorities carried out 76 demolition operations last January, affecting 126 facilities, including 74 inhabited homes, 4 uninhabited ones, and 29 agricultural and other facilities. They were concentrated in the Jenin governorates, with the demolition of 47 facilities, then the Jerusalem governorate with 14 facilities, Qalqilya with 11, and Bethlehem and Nablus with 10 facilities each.

**On Monday February 10**, Israeli authorities demolished 11 buildings in the Masafer Yatta region, in the southern Hebron Hills, in occupied West Bank, particularly in the village of Khalet al-Daba, with additional demolitions in Maghayir al-Abeed and Jinaba. According to Palestinian and Israeli activits (Breaking the Silence, resident and film director Basel Adra, Peace Now, Masafering), **the forcible transfer of Palestinians out of Area C continues.** - It's an extensive and unprecedented demolitions covering three villages in Masafer Yatta as described by regional council leader Nidal Younis. - The demolished structures included houses, caves, a tent, and infrastructure (including water and electricity systems), some of which were funded by foreign countries. **Testimony of Basel Adra** @basel_adra (Co-Author of "No Other Land" awarded documentary) *"I am surrounded by many armed soldiers and three large bulldozers. They have invaded the village of Khirbet al-Daba in Masafer Yatta, forcibly evicting families from their homes in this freezing cold. So far, three homes have been demolished, and the destruction is still ongoing."  **Legal and Political Context:** The demolitions come after a decades-long legal battle, which ended in May 2022 with the High Court of Justice authorizing the state to demolish all the villages in Firing Zone 918 in the Yatta area and expel their residents. While Palestinians are having their homes demolished in the Firing Zone, settlers are building more and more outposts (with direct and indirect assistance from the state). - The demolitions follow a ruling from Israel's High Court of Justice in 2022 that allowed the destruction of villages in the South Hebron Hills to create a military firing zone. - The ruling was in response to a petition from residents of eight villages located in the designated firing zone, which was established in 1981. - Since the court ruling, the residents' lawyers have filed several requests to exempt certain buildings, but those requests have been rejected faster in recent months, raising fears of imminent expulsion. - In December 2024, a request to exempt a school and clinic in the village of Khirbet al-Fakheit from demolition was rejected. The state has committed to giving advance notice of demolitions, but this commitment is now being questioned in light of ongoing demolitions. **Statements from Legal and Political Figures:** - Attorney Michael Sfard filed a petition to prevent the demolition of an electrical grid in the area. - Regavim, a far-right group, supported the demolitions, calling them a step toward restoring governance. - Military Justification: The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories stated the demolitions were carried out in accordance with the law, as the structures were built without necessary permits in a military firing zone. - Peace Now: *The demolitions in Masafer Yatta are part of a governmental plan to forcefully deport the Palestinians from their homes and lands and to settle it with Israelis. For years the State claimed in court that the demolitions are necessary because in a firing zone no civilian presence is allowed. Now it is becoming clear that the State has no problem with civilian presence, as long as it is of Israeli-settlers and not of Palestinians.*

Israeli police raided two [Educational Bookshop](https://educationalbookshop.com/) stores in east Jerusalem, ransacked them, confiscated books, and detained the owners, brothers Mahmoud and Ahmad Muna The brother of the owners told Haaretz that police "went through the books with Google Translate and took away anything they didn't like. They even came across the Haaretz newspaper with the picture of the kidnapped people, asked what it was, and said it was incitement. They took every book with the Palestinian flag on it." On February 10, the police requested an extension of their detention to 8 days at a court hearing. Their detention was extended by one day only. Several diplomats and journalists attended the hearing, due to their acquaintance with the store and its owners, renowned for being a rich source for the study of the Palestinian culture and the history of the Palestinian struggle. This raid led to the detention of his son and brothers, who were later placed under house arrest. List of confiscated books: - Lisa Tataki - Living Palestine: Family, Survival, Resistance, and Mobility under Occupation - Sami Adwan - Side by side - Dan Cohen Sherbok, Dawoud El-Alami - The Palestine Israeli Conflict - Michael Riordon - Our way to fight: Peace-Work under Siege in Israel-Palestine - Afzal Huda - Love Wins - Banksy - Wall and Piece different authors - Profile of an Occupation - Clare Solomon, Tania Palmier - Springtime: The New Student Rebellions - Hussein Nashwan - The Memory of Color, Jerusalem with brush of the Palestinian artist - Noam Chomsky, Ilan Pappe - Gaza in Crisis - Kathleen Christison, Bill Christison - Palestine in Pieces: Graphic Persperctives on the Israeli occupation - Ari Shavit - My Promised Land - Mohammed Zahid - The Muslim Brotherhood and Egypt's Succession Crisis: The Politics of Liberalisation and Reform in the Middle East **Second raid and arrest** On March 11, Israeli police raided the Educational Bookshop for the second time in a month, detaining co-owner Imad Muna and seizing around 50 books. Officers allegedly targeted books with Palestinian flags or titles mentioning Palestine, using Google Translate to examine them. Among the seized books were works by Banksy, Ilan Pappé, and Noam Chomsky. Muna was later released without charge, and most books were returned. Rights groups and intellectuals condemned the raids, calling them an attempt to suppress Palestinian culture. Authorities claim the latest raid followed a complaint about “inciting content” in some books.
