YESTERDAY: Mughayer al-Deir remains one of the last Palestinian communities in a vast rural area stretching from the eastern side of Ramallah. After most Palestinian residents of the region were forced out, those in Mughayer al-Deir continue to resist ongoing attempts to drive them from their village. Recently, colonial settlers from a nearby outpost began carving an illegal road through the village, destroying trees and infrastructure and advancing within meters of Palestinian homes. The residents are refugees from the Naqab, once again facing the threat of displacement.

Only a few hundred meters away, there are the destroyed houses and property in the depopulated village of Wadi al Seeq. The village's 180 residents were forcibly displaced in October 2023 when armed settler militias, backed by soldiers, attacked the community. Now scattered across the region, they struggle to find safe refuge. Like many other Bedouin communities, the residents of Wadi al-Seeq were originally displaced from the Naqab in the years following the 1948 Nakba. Today, the vast lands they cultivated for decades have been illegally seized and repurposed as grazing areas for Israeli settlers' cattle. Photos: Avishay Mohar and Omri SP /Activestills.

TODAY: Palestinians inspect the site of an Israeli airstrike where 13 people were killed in another devastating day of Israeli bombardment. Meanwhile at the European Hospital, Palestinians mourn the killing of their loved ones. Since dawn, at least 110 people have been killed across the Gaza Strip. As of Tuesday, when Israel shattered the ceasefire, at least 506 Palestinians, including 200 children, have been killed, and 909 have been injured. As of today, 49,617 Palestinians have been confirmed dead and 112,950 wounded in Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, with thousands still missing under the rubble, presumed dead. Israel's refusal to allow the entry of humanitarian aid leaves no hospital in Gaza able to cope with the overwhelming number of injured. Photos: Doaa Albaz /Activestills.

TODAY: At the European Hospital, Palestinians mourn over the bodies of their relatives who were killed by Israeli airstrikes last night in Khan Yunis during Israel’s massive bombardment across Gaza, shattering the ceasefire with Hamas. The victims are from the Jaroun, Al-Tawil, and Abu Al-Tayr families.
At least 412 Palestinians have been killed as Israeli colonial forces continue their attacks on Gaza, and the death toll rises, with many more people buried under the rubble and still unaccounted for.
Attacks took place across Gaza; in Khan Younis and Rafah in the south; Gaza City in the north; and Deir el-Balah in central Gaza. Hospitals in Gaza, which have received a high number of injured Palestinians, are low on basic medical supplies, as last week Israel completely cut the entry of humanitarian aid and cut of electricity. Renewed evacuation orders for several areas have also been issued by the Israeli colonial forces. Photos: Doaa Albaz /Activestills.

YESTERDAY: Residents of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, play volleyball amidst the rubble of destroyed homes, determined to find joy in continuing their sport before breaking the Ramadan fast despite the devastation. Demonstrating resilience, teams were named after martyrs, honoring their memory and affirming a commitment to life amidst adversity.
According to the Palestinian Sports Media Association, since October 2023, Israeli attacks have resulted in the deaths of 708 athletes, including 95 children. Additionally, 273 sports facilities have been destroyed, further hindering athletic activities in the region. Notably, Yarmouk Stadium, once a hub for aspiring Olympians, was destroyed at the start of the genocide and repurposed as a detention center by Israeli colonial forces.

Palestinian families who fled from Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps are seen in a displacement camp in the village of Kafr Al-Labad. Israeli military operations in three West Bank refugee camps since January have displaced 40,000 people—the largest such displacement since 1967. The raids began in Jenin and later expanded to Tulkarm and Nur Shams. Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that troops would remain “for the coming year,” preventing residents from returning. Families sheltering in mosques and relatives’ homes see parallels with the destruction in Gaza. Analysts warn that targeting these camps, alongside restrictions on UNRWA, is part of an effort to erase the Palestinian refugee issue by reshaping their geography and demographics.

YESTERDAY: Three burnt houses and a car are seen in the Palestinian village of Khirbet al-Marajim, south of Duma, after about 50 Israeli settlers stormed the village in the middle of the night on March 14. The settlers threw stones at residents and set fire to three houses and a car while families were sleeping inside. In one of the rooms, two children were asleep when settlers abducted them and later released them in a different location.
Fortunately, the residents woke up in time and managed to escape the burning homes.
Duma has repeatedly been targeted by violent settler attacks. On July 31, 2015, Israeli settlers firebombed a Palestinian family home in the village, killing three people. 18-month-old Ali Dawabsheh was burned alive, while both his parents succumbed to their injuries within weeks.

MARCH 11: An Israeli settler is seen talking with an Israeli officer during a wave of violent colonial attacks on the Palestinian residents of the West Bank village of Hraibat al-Nabi in Masafer Yatta. A settler’s complaint over a stolen donkey led to an invasion by settlers and the army and an attack on the residents. The Israeli colonial forces were present from the start, backed the settlers’ attacks, and did not intervene to stop the violence. Settlers pepper-sprayed and beat elderly residents and solidarity activists, smashed a cellphone and a camera, and slashed all the tires of the activists’ car with a knife.
One Palestinian man was detained and taken to the Susya military base. He was released several hours later, without even being questioned.
After the residents of the neighboring community of Bir al-Eid were forcibly displaced, an Israeli settler outpost and vineyard were established, blocking Palestinian passage through the valley leading to the village of Jinba. Settler attacks have sharply increased since the start of the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza, forcing entire Palestinian communities to flee. Photos: Activestills.

TODAY: More than 80,000 Palestinians perform the second Friday prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, according to the Islamic Endowments Department. Despite restrictions, worshippers flocked from various regions, particularly the 1948 territories and Jerusalem. Access to Jerusalem still remains severely restricted for Palestinians from the West Bank, with only men over the age of 55, women over the age of 50, with valid permits, or children of the age of 12 and under, are allowed to enter. As a result, the Al-Aqsa Mosque - the third holiest site in Islam - is inaccessible to the vast majority of Palestinians, including those from Gaza. Photos: Faiz Abu Rmeleh / Activestills

TODAY: On the second Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, Israeli colonial forces subject Palestinian worshippers to extensive checks as they pass through the Bethlehem checkpoint to go to Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Despite having obtained the required permits, many worshippers were turned back by the Israeli colonial forces and could not enter Jerusalem. Access to the city remains severely restricted, with only men over the age of 55, women over the age of 50, with valid permits, or children of the age of 12 and under being allowed to enter. As a result, the Al-Aqsa Mosque - the third holiest site in Islam - is inaccessible to the vast majority of Palestinians, including those from Gaza. Photos: Mosab Shawer/ Activestills

YESTERDAY: Activists in Tampere, Finland, take to the streets to protest and call for an end to the arms trade with Israel. Protesters demanded the cancellation of the recent purchase of David's Sling and called for a complete and immediate end to all military cooperation with Israel and Israeli weapons companies, including the recently announced collaboration with Insta Advanced, a Tampere-based company. Finland has a long history of arms trade with Israel and continues this collaboration despite the ongoing genocide and widespread criticism, investing hundreds of millions of euros in Israeli weapons and military technology.
