The Israeli occupation forces continued on Tuesday their large-scale demolition and destruction of Palestinian homes in the Nour Shams refugee camp, east of Toulkarm, as part of a sustained campaign that has displaced thousands and devastated entire neighborhoods.

Local sources said Israeli occupation forces deployed bulldozers early Tuesday to demolish two residential buildings in the Jabal El-Sali'heen area, as well as a home belonging to the Alyan family. The demolitions also targeted homes in the al-Qalansuwa area of the camp.

The latest destruction follows a major demolition campaign launched on December 31, 2025, beginning in the al-Maslakh neighborhood. The plan calls for the demolition of 25 residential buildings comprising more than 100 homes. Residents had already been forcibly displaced during the most recent Israeli assault on the camp, which started on December 14.

The demolitions are part of a systematic policy that has resulted in the forced displacement of residents from the Toulkarm and Nour Shams refugee camps, turning both areas into vast zones of destruction. The campaign has included sustained targeting of homes and critical infrastructure, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis facing local residents.

Israeli attacks on Toulkarm, now in their 332nd consecutive day, have displaced approximately 11,500 Palestinians from the Toulkarm district, marking one of the largest internal displacement waves in the northern occupied West Bank.

During these operations, Israeli occupation forces demolished 25 residential buildings inside Nur Shams camp, destroying an estimated 750 housing units. More than 1,600 additional housing units sustained varying degrees of damage, while over 80 homes and commercial properties were set ablaze.

The destruction also extended to civilian infrastructure, with total or partial damage reported to around 230 private and commercial vehicles and 260 commercial establishments. Public institutions, mosques, kindergartens, a rehabilitation center for people with disabilities, a youth social center, and an office of the UN relief agency were also partially or completely destroyed.

According to local assessments, Israeli forces bulldozed and destroyed more than 100,000 square meters of main and secondary roads, over 20,000 meters of water networks, 15,000 meters of sewage lines, and approximately 50,000 meters of electricity grids, including both high- and low-voltage networks.

Dozens of the illegal Israeli settlers defile El-Aqsa Mosque, in El--Quds (occupied Jerusalem)

Tuesday 6-January-2026

El--Quds (occupied Jerusalem), (PIC)

Scores of the illegal Israeli settlers desecratedEl-Aqsa Mosque in El--Quds (occupied Jerusalem) on Tuesday morning and later in the afternoon, amid tight restrictions on the entry of Muslim worshipers to the holy site.

According to local sources, at least 163 settlers and 15 intelligence officers entered the Mosque through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under police protection in the morning.

During their tours at the Islamic holy site, the settlers received lectures from rabbis about the alleged temple mount and a number of them provocatively performed Talmudic prayers in the eastern area of the Mosque and on the staircase leading to the plateau of the Dome of the Rock building.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation regime police imposed movement and entry restrictions on Muslim worshipers at El-Aqsa Mosque’s entrances and gates and prevented many of them from entering the holy site.

The Aqsa Mosque is exposed to daily desecration by Jewish settlers and police forces in the morning and afternoon except on Fridays and Saturdays.

Illegal Israeli settlers carry out fresh attacks in different W. Bank areas

Wednesday 7-January-2026

WEST BANK, (PIC)

Groups of the illegal Israeli settlers carried out new attacks today, Wednesday, in the occupied West Bank, particularly in the governorates of Jenin, Nablus, and Jerusalem.

Local sources reported that settlers stormed an area near a Palestinian farm in the town of Raba in Jenin and tried to assault residents.

A horde of settlers also attacked Palestinian lands near the town of Mikhmas, northeast of El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), while others vandalized some Palestinian cars near Madama village in southern Nablus.

Following the settler attack, Israeli forces broke into and ransacked several homes in Madama.

On Tuesday, armed settlers seized an agricultural tractor belonging to a Palestinian farmer in the northern Jordan Valley.

Other settlers also grazed on the same day their livestock near Palestinian homes in Kisan village, east of Bethlehem.

Groups of the illegal Israeli settlers attack Palestinian citizens’ vehicles southeast of Bait La'hm (Bethlehem)

Bait La'hm (Bethlehem), January 5, 2026 (WAFA) –

Groups of the illegal Israeli settlers attacked, on Monday night, Palestinian citizens’ vehicles near the town of Tuqu‘ and the village of al-Minya, southeast of Bethlehem.

The director of the Tuqu‘ Municipal Council, Taysir Abu Mufarreh, told WAFA that groups of colonists targeted vehicles traveling along the main road, causing damage to one car.

Israeli settlers’ vandalism in the occupied West Bank is routine and is done with full backing by the Israeli authorities, said the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem.

“Settler violence and vandalism take place with full backing by the Israeli authorities. Sometimes soldiers take part in the assault; at other times, they stand idly by. The police make no substantial effort to investigate the incidents, nor takes measures to prevent them or stop them in real-time,” it said.

Israel benefits from the repercussions, as settler violence has gradually dispossessed Palestinians of more and more areas in the West Bank, paving the way for a state takeover of land and resources, said B’Tselem.

The settler violence against Palestinians and their properties has dramatically increased since the onset of Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people on October 7th, 2023.

The indiscriminate violence by Israeli colonists against Palestinian civilians and their properties has been widely condemned.

Several countries have imposed sanctions against Israeli colonists accused of committing acts of violence against the Palestinian people in the West Bank.

News Related to the Israeli Genocidal War on the Palestinian People

***

While brutal force has been used to create Zionist Israel and sustain it thus far, Zionist claims to Palestine are false. Actually, from the five thousand years of known written human history, there has been a continuous Palestinian-Canaanite presence in the Holy Land. Despite the Zionist false claims, the ancient Israelites ruled part of the land for only 85 years (during the reign of Prophets David and Solomon , peace be upon them, and Solomon's son).

 After that, the Egyptians conquered Palestine-Canaan in 925 BC, followed by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans, before the Arab Muslim rule, starting from 636 AD.

By the Time Jesus, peace be upon him, started his mission, the three population groups of Canaanites, Palestinians, and Israelites were melted together in religion and language. Most of them became Christians when Constantine converted in 313 AD. Then, most of them became Muslims in the 7th and 8th centuries AD.

So, Palestinian Muslims, Christians, and Jews are the ones who have the right to claim descent from ancient Israelites, Palestinians, and Canaanites, not Zionists from other continents.

No matter what the Zionists and their supporters do, they cannot change the will of God, Who promised the Holy Land to Abraham and his descendants, basically the Palestinian Muslims and Christians.

No matter how much persecution and aggression the Zionists and their supporters inflict upon the Palestinian people, they will never be able to force them out of the Holy Land, which Allah, praise to Him, promised for them, and kept His promise ever since.

This is a necessary brief background to understand the US-Backed Zionist Israeli continuous wars against the Arab nation generally, and the Palestinian people in particular, which included the wars of 1948, 1956, 1967, 1978, 1982, the brutal crushing of the two Uprisings (1987-1993 and 2000-2004), 2009, 2012, 2014, 2021, and the current genocidal war on Gaza (Since October 7, 2023), which has culminated a blockade of Gaza since 2007. In addition, the Israeli occupation and apartheid regime launched so many covert operations, raids, and air strikes on many Arab states since 1948.

The following news stories are just examples, not a systematic record, of the Israeli occupation government abuse, mistreatment, and violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.
