SEPTEMBER 1: A boat named after Odeh al-Hathalin join about thirty vessels in Barcelona as part of the 'Global Sumud Flotilla'. The initiative unites activists from over forty countries to challenge Israel’s 17-year blockade on Gaza, which intensified into a full siege in October 2023. The flotilla aims to deliver symbolic humanitarian aid such as medicine, food, and medical supplies to over two million Palestinians, and after being delayed by rough seas on August 31, 2025, it set sail again, with participants calling their journey a global outcry against siege and genocide and urging the creation of a safe humanitarian corridor to Gaza.

YESTERDAY: The Zuwahra and A’ra’arah families on the outskirts of Duma, West Bank, face daily settler raids and threats after a new Israeli outpost was established nearby. Following repeated settler attacks, the Zuwahra family barricaded the main gate to their land, and activists are maintaining a presence at the site. Their flock has been removed out of fear of further attacks, and the women have also left. Both communities are at risk of forcible displacement, after about 20 days ago, a new Israeli outpost was established just a few hundred meters away. Since then, settlers have been raiding the communities almost daily, blocking roads and threatening residents. They have also poisoned some of the Zuwahra family’s dogs. Having already been displaced from the nearby community of Ein Rashash, the family now faces the threat of displacement once again. Photos: Avishay Mohar , Anne Pak /Activestills.

LAST NIGHT: Dozens of Israeli settlers, backed by Israeli colonial forces, seize a 400-square-meter Palestinian home in the Old City of Hebron, in the West Bank. The property belongs to the Nasr family and is located near the central square of the Old City, where settlers reportedly held a celebration. Several streets in the area, including Al Zahed and Al Shalala Street, were closed as the Israeli army was deployed throughout multiple neighborhoods, restricting the movement of Palestinian residents and journalists.

YESTERDAY: Caravans placed by settlers recently in the middle of the village of Umm al Khair in Masafer Yatta are seen surrounded by village houses. The new outpost was established as a part of the increasing pressure applied by the state and its settlers in an attempt to force out the Palestinian residents, who were originally displaced from the Naqab around 1948.

TODAY: A settler security coordinator of the nearby settlement of Avigail, together with Israeli military forces, invade private Palestinian land in the village of al Rakiz in Masafer Yatta, southern West Bank so as to harass the residents. Two Palestinians were subsequently detained by the Israeli army. Several months ago, the very same settler shot the landowner, Sheikh Saeed al Amour, in the leg at point-blank range on the exact same plot that was invaded today, leading to the amputation of his leg. This individual settler has since continued invading the Sheikh's land on a daily basis, causing property damage, harassment, and summoning colonial forces to carry out false arrests and participate in the harassment.

TODAY: Israeli forces demolish a site containing a playground and outdoor café for families, as well as a two-story house belonging to Moath Salama in Anata, West Bank. The demolition was allegedly carried out for building without a permit in Area C. A sound gr***de was thrown at Palestinians and journalists who were trying to document the demolitions. The playground and cafe were the only places in the area where families could sit outside and relax. Salama built the house in anticipation of getting married. Israel rarely approves building permits for Palestinians in Area C, as this helps to maintain control in favour of Israeli construction, pushing Palestinians into smaller spaces. The demolition rate throughout Palestine is the highest it has been since 1967, as Israel accelerates its ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Photos: Anne Pak /Activestills.

BREAKING: Thousands of people gather in Barcelona, Spain, for the launch of the Global Sumud flotilla, the largest flotilla to sail to Gaza, in an attempt to break the Israeli siege. Vessels with delegates from over 40 countries are expected to reach Gaza in mid-September in the third attempt to break the siege that is occurring during a genocide that has killed over 63,000 Palestinians, although the real death toll is likely to be much higher.

YESTERDAY: Palestinian residents and Israeli solidarity activists are injured after being brutally attacked by masked Israeli settlers armed with clubs in the village of Qawawis in Masafer Yatta in the south-west of the West Bank. During the assault, the settlers sprayed pepper spray inside homes, attacking children and elderly residents. They also smashed the windows of most houses and vehicles in the village and completely destroyed the solidarity activists' vehicle. Several Palestinian residents and three solidarity activists were taken to the hospital. Two activists suffered head injuries, and one of them also sustained a broken arm and a fractured shoulder. The attack came after settlers with flocks of sheep invaded the Qawawis valley earlier in the afternoon. The Israeli police refused to come despite being called.
