At least 12 people were killed, including 5 children and 5 women. A young man who was seen mourning children killed spoke tp Palestine Today TV saying that his family's tent was struck with two rockets while they were baking bread. He lost 3 children, along with his brother and his fiancée, his sister and her husband, another brother and his grandmother.

On May 29, 2025 the IDF issued orders for a complete evacuation of Al-Awda Hospital in North Gaza, which housed 97 people including 13 patients and injured and 84 medical staff. This follows continued Israeli strikes on the hospital that lasted throughout a one week period starting May 22nd. UN staff participated in evacuating the hospital who was effectively shut down hours after the order according to medical staff. Al-Awda was the last hospital relatively operating in the North Gaza governorate after Israel had destroyed Kamal Adwan Hospital and besieged and shelled the Indonesian Hospital, forcing the latter's evacuation.

On May 28, Israeli authorities have invaded the village of al-Rifa'iyya in order to destroy a fence, solar panels, a water tank, a chicken coop, and a family home – a father, mother, and six children. The forces evacuated the family from the house and prevented them from removing their belongings, so they would be destroyed along with the house. The systematic destruction of homes is an integral part of the state’s efforts to dispossess Palestinians of their land and push them into the urban ghettos of Area A – which themselves are subject to endless raids and attacks by the Israeli military. **Testimony of local activist Mohammad Hesham Huraini @MHureini:** *"Today, a large-scale demolition took place in my community, Masafer Yatta. IOF forcibly displaced yet another family in the village of Al-Rifaiya, leaving them homeless. But it didn’t stop there — they moved on to the nearby village of Al-Jawaya, next to my village Al-Tuwani, demolished an agricultural home and a livestock shelter that families depend on to survive. This is not just destruction. This is a deliberate policy of ethnic cleansing — a systematic attempt to erase us from our land and our lives. Every home destroyed is a family shattered. Every demolition is an act of violence. And every silence is complicity. We are here. We will not be erased. The world must see. The world must act."* **According to the Activestills Collective:** Israeli forces demolished two homes and agricultural structures in The villages of Ar Rifa’iyya and al-Jawaya, east of the city of Yatta. In Ar Rifa’iyya the home belongs to the Al-Amur family and 8 people lived there. The home in Al-Jawaya, made of tin, housed 5 members of the Shawahiya family (Photo 1) and their sheep pen. These demolitions have left the family displaced and without shelter or livelihood. The destruction is part of a broader pattern of demolitions in Area C of the West Bank, where Palestinians often face severe restrictions on building and development. The Photoreporter was @basilaladraa and @mosab.shawer for Activestills. **Location** The village mentioned, א-ריפאעיה (al-Rifa'iyya), is a Palestinian village located in the southern West Bank, near Yatta in the Hebron Governorate. Area A refers to one of the three administrative divisions of the West Bank established under the Oslo II Accord (1995) between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Here's what it means: - Full Palestinian civil and security control. - Comprises about 18% of the West Bank. - Includes major Palestinian cities like Ramallah, Nablus, Bethlehem, and parts of Hebron. - Israeli citizens are prohibited from entering without special permission. In practice, the Israeli military regularly enters Area A for operations such as arrests or raids, despite the official designation.

On May 28, 2025, at dawn, Israeli special forces executed 20-year-old Jassem Ibrahim al-Sadda during a raid on the village of Jit, east of Qalqilya. Israeli special forces stormed the village at dawn and raided several homes, including the home of al-Sadda family. When they stormed al-Sadda's home, they come inside his beroom and shot him with several bullets while he was sleeping, leaving him bleeding on the ground. Then they detained al-Sadda's body before later handing it over to Palestinian Red Crescent crews at the entrance to the village, who transported it to Darwish Nazzal Governmental Hospital in Qalqilya. Jasem al-Sadda was his parents' youngest son and worked as a vendor at a small stall in the village. **Location :** Jit (Arabic: جيت) is a Palestinian village situated in the northern West Bank, within the Qalqilya Governorate. It lies approximately 10 kilometers west of Nablus and about 19.7 kilometers northeast of Qalqilya. **Name of the martyr :** Jasem Ibrahim Al-Sadda, 20

On May 27, Israeli soldiers raided the town of Nablus, storming the city of Nablus from the Hawara checkpoint, raiding the Gulf Exchange at Zawata Roundabout and the Ashqar Gold and Jewellery shops in the commercial market, seizing their contents amid gunfire and tear gas canisters. An Israeli army officer was filmed celebrating after his colleague successfully shot and killed a Palestinian man, Mahmoud Al-Kharraz, 36. Mahmoud Al-Kharraz, a father of three, was initially reported to be in critical condition after being shot in the chest with live ammunition. He was evacuated to the nearby Rafidia Government Hospital under heavy gunfire. The ambulance was targeted and damaged by Israeli bullets. Mahmoud Al-Kharraz succumbed to his wounds about an hour later. Six citizens were injured by Israeli occupation forces' bullets during the raid on Nablus, including two who sustained serious injuries Six Palestinian journalists covering the raid were injured by gas canisters fired by Israeli forces.

**On May 27, 2025**, Israeli settlers carried out a pogrom on Al-Mughayyir. Settlers had attacked the outskirts of Al-Mughayyir village and attempted to burn agricultural lands and wheat crops in the Marj Sa’i plain, before residents confronted them and forced them to flee. As clashes broke out between Palestinians and extremist groups, Israeli soldiers arrived at the scene and intervened by trying to push the Palestinians out of the area. While documenting the incident, AA photojournalist Issam Rimawi was attacked by Israeli settlers as he was heading to his vehicle. This assault was part of a series of attacks on journalists in the West Bank. On the same day, at least 12 other Palestinian journalists were injured in attacks by Israeli forces Gaz canister, 6 near Nablus and 6 near Bethlehem. ### **Previous events:** **On May 18**, Israeli settlers established an illegal outpost inside the Palestinian shepherding community of Maghayer Al-Dir in Area C of the West Bank, just 100 meters from homes. Within days, about half the villagers fled, fearing violence. **On May 21**, a settler “walking tour” escalated into an attack involving dozens of armed settlers, stone-throwing, and beatings of Palestinians and activists, forcing the entire community of 23 families (around 150 people) to flee by the next day. This event is part of a broader pattern since October 2023, where over 60 Palestinian shepherding communities have been displaced by settler violence and new outposts, often backed by the Israeli army. Maghayer Al-Dir was the last Palestinian community in its area, now surrounded by settlements and outposts. Settlers used tactics like land seizures, fencing, water theft, and livestock theft to push Palestinians out. Residents reported police complicity with settlers and ongoing harassment. The attack on Maghayer Al-Dir was described as a deliberate effort to ethnically cleanse the area, with settlers openly boasting about driving Palestinians away to replace them with Jewish settlers. The displaced families face an uncertain future, with some hoping for temporary resettlement in Area B, though permanent solutions remain elusive. The Israeli army states the outpost was built on state land and that stop-work orders were issued, but settlers continue expanding. This violent displacement highlights the ongoing struggle over land in the West Bank, with settler outposts serving as tools to force Palestinians off their ancestral lands. **Location** Al-Mughayyir is a Palestinian village situated northeast of Ramallah, with a population of approximately 4,500 residents as of 2024. (This is a different place than the close Bedouin village ethnically cleansed on May 22, 2025, with an estimated distance of approximately 10 to 15 kilometers separating them : The both villages have been subjected to repeated attacks by Israeli settlers, but these two communities are distinct in their demographics and specific circumstances) **Injured journalist**  *Anadolu photojournalist injured in an Israeli raid in West Bank* Issam al-Rimawi is a seasoned Palestinian photojournalist affiliated with Turkey's Anadolu Agency (AA), recognized for his extensive coverage of events in the occupied West Bank. His work often focuses on documenting the daily lives of Palestinians, protests, military incursions, and the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict. On May 27, 2025, while documenting the wheat harvest in the village of al-Mughayyir in the West Bank, Rimawi was brutally attacked by masked Israeli settlers. He was ambushed, beaten unconscious with clubs and rocks, and left with a fractured arm, head injuries and 10 stitches, a concussion and skull fracture, and broken equipment (cameras, phone, Apple Watch) He had arrived to document farmers rushing to harvest their crops after settlers had torched fields the night before. He was ambushed alone near his car after photographing from a distance with a zoom lens and despite shouting “I am press!”, settlers continued the assault. He was unconscious for three hours, had to be hospitalized for 10 days. After this period, he still suffers from dizziness but plans to return to work with more caution. Al-Rimawi maintains an active presence on Instagram, where he shares his photographic work and experiences. In addition to the May 2025 incident, al-Rimawi has faced other challenges in his career. Rimawi has been injured 13 times in his career. For instance, on November 7, 2024, Israeli occupation forces briefly detained him at the Ennab checkpoint east of Tulkarm, searching his vehicle and camera equipment. english.wafa.ps Al-Rimawi's dedication to photojournalism has made him a prominent figure in documenting the realities of life under occupation, and his work continues to shed light on the experiences of Palestinians in the region.  *Rimawi at home in El Bireh, this week. While witnessing and documenting life in the West Bank for 20 years, he's been wounded 13 times, usually lightly.Credit: Alex Levac* **On May 28 to 30:** Israeli soldiers invaaded the village of Mugghayyir in order to demolish houses, using Hyundai excavators. **On May 29:** Israeli settlers set fire to Palestinian-owned lands at the entrance to the village of Al-Mughayyir **On June 2, 2025**, an Israeli settler, under the protection of Israeli forces, stormed the "Abu Hammam" gathering in the village of Al-Mughayyir, east of Ramallah, at dawn. He assaulted the family and solidarity activists before seizing two phones from the site.

Weeks after attack on Gaza Freedom Flotilla, it decides to sail again on June 1st to attempt break siege imposed by the Israeli occupation on the Gaza Strip. Last month, the Flotilla sailed to Gaza but was soon halted by drone attack, forcing the internationals on board to return. Famous names expected to be on board: Greta Thunberg, actor Liam Cunningham and EU lawmaker Rima Hassan. **12 volunteers aboard 'Madleen'** Baptiste Andre 🇫🇷 Greta Thunberg 🇸🇪 Sweden Climate and Social activist Şuayb Ordu 🇹🇷 Mark van Rennes 🇳🇱 Omar Faiad 🇫🇷 Al Jazeera correspondant Pascal Maurieras 🇫🇷 Reva Viard 🇫🇷 Rima Hassan 🇫🇷 French-Palestinian European deputee Sergio Toribio 🇪🇸 Thiago Ávila 🇧🇷 Yanis Mhamdi 🇫🇷 Blast journalist Yasemin Acar 🇩🇪 **Madleen Tracker** Don’t lose the Madleen. Track her journey for safety, accountability, and solidarity." Forensic Architecture has created an online "Madleen Tracker" to keep an eye on her perilous journey to bring Aid to the besieged Gaza: [https://freedomflotilla.org/ffc-tracker/](https://freedomflotilla.org/ffc-tracker/) **Gaza Flotilla statement** *Catania, Sicily, Italy | June 1, 2025 – Today at 16:00 GMT+2 the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) launched the Madleen, a civilian ship now sailing toward Gaza carrying humanitarian aid and international human rights defenders in direct defiance of Israel’s illegal and genocidal blockade. Named after Gaza’s first and only fisherwoman in 2014, Madleen symbolizes the unyielding spirit of Palestinian resilience and the growing global resistance to Israel’s use of collective punishment and deliberate starvation policies. Her launch comes just one month after Israeli drones bombed Conscience, another Freedom Flotilla aid ship, in international waters off the coast of Malta—underscoring both the urgency and the danger of this mission to break the siege on Gaza. On board are volunteers from multiple countries, among them Member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan, and climate justice activist Greta Thunberg. The ship is carrying urgently needed supplies for the people of Gaza, including baby formula, flour, rice, diapers, women’s sanitary products, water desalination kits, medical supplies, crutches, and children’s prosthetics. Fifteen years ago, Israel carried out an unlawful and deadly attack on the Mavi Marmara, in which ten humanitarian volunteers were killed while attempting to deliver aid to Gaza. This mission is a continuation of that legacy—a refusal to surrender to silence, fear, or complicity. The siege on Gaza is maintained not just by Israeli firepower, but by global inaction. Despite the risks, we believe that direct, civil resistance still matters —that active solidarity, can shift the moral compass of the world. That is why Madleen sails. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition emphasizes that this is a peaceful act of civil resistance. All volunteers and crew aboard Madleen are trained in nonviolence. They are sailing unarmed, united by the shared belief that Palestinians deserve the same rights, freedom, and dignity as all people. **The Freedom Flotilla Coalition calls on:** - Governments to guarantee safe passage for Madleen and all humanitarian vessels - Media outlets to report on this mission with accuracy and integrity - People of conscience everywhere to reject silence and take action for Gaza We will not be deterred. We will not be silenced. **Voices from the Madleen** *“I am aboard Madleen because silence is not neutrality—it is complicity, The Palestinian people in Gaza are being starved and slaughtered, and the world watches. This ship is not just carrying aid, it is carrying a demand: End the blockade. End the genocide.”* Rima Hassan *“We are seeing a systematic starvation of 2 million people. The world cannot be silent bystanders, Every single one of us has a moral obligation to do everything we can to fight for a free Palestine.”* Greta Thunberg **Chronology of the event** On June 3, reports from the Madleen Freedom Flotilla, sailing to break the US-Israeli siege on Gaza and deliver aid, that a drone appeared at the ship a short while ago and hovered over it. It has now moved on, but the passengers are still alert and concerned. On June 8, Madleen vessel was experiencing heavy GPS and network jamming. The Israeli Army has sent three ships toward it On June 9, around 01:00, while the Madleen is approaching to the Gaza coast, Franceska Albanese, write on X "BREAKING!!! - 11:18PM UK time; I am with the flotilla online. They have just been reached by the Israel speedboats - 5 vessels circling the flotilla. The captain is instructing the team to stay calm and seated, with their passports and life jackets on. I hear them speaking with Israeli soldiers as I type... telling they are carrying humanitarian aid and go in peace. For the time being they are just circled. I am with them, recording everything." At 1:50, the Israeli boats that were encircling the flotilla had left. It was the first step of an intimidation process. Their GPS devices was dammaged by a white substance thrown on the boat. At the same hour, Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt writes on X "I just spoke again with the Flotilla, incl its Comm Room in Catania. All looks calm and safe now. Speedboats watching; but the flotilla continues its sailing. It will be a long night. And as they say and we say, "we are together"." At 2:37 Franceska Albaneses writes on X : "Two drones over the Madleen. They say they are quadcopters, the dangerous ones. TEAM IS TAKING COVER." At 3:00. Israeli speedboat reached Madleen. "At the time the boat was intercepted no one is wounded" the captain asked me to record. I heard the soldiers speaking while the captain was on the phone with me. I lost connection with the captain as he was telling me that "another boat is approaching". At 3:10 The Israeli army has the Madleen passengers at direct gunpoint At 3:14 Israeli forces have boarded the Freedom Flotilla and the crew were arrested. The boat was in the international waters. **On June 10**, 8 activists are still detained by Israel in Givon detention facility in Ramla for ‘illegal residents’ including MEP Rima Hassan for refusing to sign a document requiring them to acknowledge having entered Israeli territory illegally, a condition imposed by Israel for their release. As a reminder, their arrest took place in international waters not in “Israel’s territory” and they were heading towards Gaza which is not part of ‘Israel’. Suayb Ordu (Turkey) Mark van Rennes (The Netherlands) Pascal Maurieras (France) Reva Viard (France) Rima Hassan (France) Thiago Avila (Brazil) Yanis Mhamdi (France) Yasemin Acar (Germany) Approximately 24 hours after contact was lost with the Madleen, Adalah lawyers were able to meet with 10 of the 12 activists abducted by Israel from international waters. Two, Omar Faiad (Al Jazeera) and Yanis Mhamdi (France), are represented separately by private counsel. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition confirmed that four have been deported: Baptiste Andre (France) Greta Thunberg (Sweden) Sergio Toribio (Spain) Omar Faiad (France) The remaining eight activists—including journalists and human rights defenders from France, the Netherlands, Brazil, Turkey, and Germany—remain in Israeli detention, refusing to sign deportation papers and awaiting a tribunal. All 12 deny any illegal entry, asserting their mission was humanitarian and that Israel’s actions are unlawful under international law. The FFC calls their detention arbitrary, politically motivated, and part of a broader system that silences humanitarian resistance. They emphasize solidarity with Palestinians, who face daily imprisonment and systemic abuse under occupation, with over 10,400 currently detained by Israel, including children and thousands held without trial. **Israel Foreign Ministry statement** @IsraelMFA *With recent reports of a “celebrities yacht” heading to Gaza, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to clarify the following: The maritime zone off the coast of Gaza is closed to unauthorized vessels under a legal naval blockade, consistent with international law. The yacht is claiming that it is delivering humanitarian aid. In fact, it is a media gimmick for publicity (which includes less than a single truckload of aid) - a “selfie yacht”. Humanitarian aid is delivered regularly and effectively via different channels and routes, and is transferred through established distribution mechanisms. Over the past two weeks, more than 1,200 aid trucks have entered Gaza from Israel. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has distributed close to 11 million meals directly to civilians in Gaza. The Gaza maritime zone remains an active conflict area, and Hamas has previously exploited sea routes for terrorist attacks, including the October 7th massacre. Unauthorized attempts to breach the blockade are dangerous, unlawful, and undermine ongoing humanitarian efforts. We call on all actors to act responsibly and to channel humanitarian aid through legitimate, coordinated mechanisms, not through provocation* Other Israel Foreign Ministry statement @IsraelMFA *"The “selfie yacht” of the “celebrities” is safely making its way to the shores of Israel. The passengers are expected to return to their home countries. While Greta and others attempted to stage a media provocation whose sole purpose was to gain publicity — and which included less than a single truckload of aid — more than 1,200 aid trucks have entered Gaza from Israel within the past two weeks, and in addition, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has distributed close to 11 million meals directly to civilians in Gaza. There are ways to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip — they do not involve Instagram selfies. The tiny amount of aid that was on the yacht and not consumed by the “celebrities” will be transferred to Gaza through real humanitarian channels." **French European deputee Rima Hassan statement:** *Israel once again violates international law — with complete impunity. By intercepting a humanitarian ship in international waters, Israel once again tramples on maritime and humanitarian law. This illegal act is carried out by an army committing genocide, under the command of a Prime Minister subject to an international arrest warrant. But instead of taking responsibility, Israel opts for grotesque theater: after an illegal nighttime interception, its forces stage a media farce by handing out water and sandwiches to detained civilians. A pathetic attempt to cover up what is, in truth, an act of state piracy. This strategy is nothing new. This week, thanks to the “selfie yacht” of the Freedom Flotilla — which they tried to ridicule — civil society and political voices from around the world rose up. As a result, we avoided a repeat of the deadly 2010 flotilla attack, which left 9 dead. Israel has replaced drones with cameras. Even in illegality, it adapts its communication strategy. 👉 What we must remember: When states fail in their duty to act against genocide, citizens rise. And in response, Israel does not hesitate to use force, in blatant violation of international law. This arrest is illegal — and it must be condemned with the utmost firmness. (Message from Rima’s team)* ### The aftermath of the vessel arrest Adalah represents Freedom Flotilla activists and demands immediate disclosure of their whereabouts. 09/06/2025 **Adalah Center Update (June 9, 10 PM, Jerusalem time):** *All detained volunteers from the Madleen Freedom Flotilla are being held at Ashdod Port and are currently undergoing processing. They will be handed to immigration authorities. Those who refuse immediate deportation will be sent to the Ramleh detention facility. Authorities say volunteers who agree to deportation might fly out from Tel Aviv tonight, but the terms, such as signing documents or waiving rights, are unclear. Adalah is demanding access to the volunteers before any transfer or deportation takes place.* **Abdalah Center statement on June 9:** *(...) According to available information, the ship was sailing in international waters when it was intercepted at 3:00 a.m., after being surrounded by the Israeli Navy and drones. It did not enter Israeli territorial waters, nor was it intended to do so. Rather, the Madeleine was en route to the territorial waters of the Palestinian state, as recognized under international law. Accordingly, Israel has no legal jurisdiction to intercept the ship or arrest those on board*. *The interception of the ship and the arrest of the unarmed civilian activists seeking to deliver humanitarian aid constitute a flagrant violation of international law. The blockade of Gaza is an illegal siege, used as a military weapon to starve the civilian population, constitutes collective punishment prohibited under international humanitarian law, and violates the provisional measures issued by the International Court of Justice in the genocide case (South Africa v. Israel).* *Testimonies indicate that Israeli forces towed the ship to the port of Ashdod, where all activists were transferred into detention without any official announcement of their whereabouts or legal status, and without allowing them access to lawyers*. *Accordingly, Adalah demands immediate disclosure of the whereabouts of the 12 activists, their legal status, and the guarantee that they have access to the legal representation necessary to present their cases before the courts. Adalah affirms that it will take legal steps in the coming days to secure their release.* **The Hind Rajab Foundation has filed a criminal complaint in the UK** against elite unit Shayetet 13, under the command of Vice Admiral David Saar Salama over Israel’s illegal raid on the British-flagged aid ship #Madleen and the abduction of 12 people. For more info read. **The Spanish National Court opens a criminal investigation on Augustus 8:** According to Jaume Asens (@Jaumeasens) Member of the European Parliament & Advocat, the Spanish National Court informed that it is opening a criminal investigation for war crimes and crimes against humanity against Netanyahu, his Foreign Minister, and several high-ranking Israeli military officials. The court ruling considers that the assault on the Madleen ship, on June 1st en route to Gaza, constitutes a criminal offense. The investigation covers the use of drones, tear gas, and the illegal detention of 12 activists, including Greta Thunberg and Rima Hassan. The European deputee, Jaume Asens, filed the complaint on behalf of Spanish citizen Sergio Toribio and the Committee for Solidarity with the Arab Cause. 📌 Based on the principle of universal jurisdiction 📌 Requests cooperation with the International Criminal Court 📌 Denounces the assault in the context of genocide in Gaza *"This is a major step in the fight against Israel's impunity. When states fail to fulfill their obligations, it is up to civil society to activate justice as an ethical, legal, and political tool against horror. We now hope this initiative spreads to other countries, so that Netanyahu cannot set foot in Europe without facing justice".*
