On October 16, 2025, in the evening, a young man was killed by Israeli occupation forces’ bullets, in the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin. The Israeli forces stormed the town, deployed soldiers in its streets, arrested a young man after raiding his house, and shot and wounded another young man, preventing ambulances from reaching him and leaving him to bleed to death. The Ministry of Health later announcing his martyrdom. With the martyrdom of Kamil, the number of martyrs in Jenin Governorate since the start of the aggression against the city and camp of Jenin on the twenty-first of last January has risen to 51 martyrs. **Name of the martyr:** Mahdi Ahmed Kamil (20 years old)

On October 16, 2025, an 9-year-old Palestinian child, Mohammad Bahjat Al-Hallaq, was pronounced dead on Thursday evening after succumbing to wounds sustained earlier in the day when Israeli occupation forces opened fire in the village of Al-Rihiya, south of Hebron. Israeli soldiers fired live bullets toward a group of children who were playing football in the yard of Al-Rihiya Girls Secondary School. The child was struck by a bullet that penetrated his pelvis. Muhammed’s mother, Alia, was told by witnesses that the sniper had raised his arms in the air as if in celebration. He killed a nine-year-old boy, for playing soccer, for no reason. The car carrying Mohammed’s wounded body to the hospital was delayed by the Israeli military, who after the shooting had put up roadblocks and fired tear gas grenades into the gathering crowd. Mohammed’s father, away at work, began receiving messages and images of his son. That 4 hour car ride, also extended due to Israel’s military roadblocks, “felt to him like four years,” Alia recounted. Muhammed died before his father could reach the hospital Family followed Sharia burial customs, waiting for father to return to bury Muhammed in the family grave. Several weeks later, their younger siblings are traumatized: Her 4 year old son Ilyas clings to her skirts, constantly afraid that soldiers are going to come and hurt him. Seela, 6 years old and accustomed to her older brother waiting for up to two hours to walk her home, refuses to go to school. Mother frequently visits the family grave on a hillside visible from their home. Muhammad Al-Hallaq was a fourth-grade student. He had spent the morning of his assassination at school and had returned “the happiest I had ever seen him” because he had just received a brand new backpack from UNRWA. Living in poverty since his father lost his job in Israel after October 7, receiving new things was rare and Muhammed had never received a new backpack before. Alia stated that he “immediately and excitedly began unpacking his old school bag and filling his new one.” Upon noticing the sadness of his older brother, Wajdee, who went to a different school and had not received a backpack, however, Muhammed rushed back to his school to try to get an extra one. He returned dejected, as his mission was not successful.  *Alia holding Muhammed bag and his grandmother. Credit ISM.* **Name of the martyr:** Mohammad Bahjat Al-Hallaq, 9 y/o **Defense for Children - Palestine investigation:** "On October 16, around 5:00 p.m., Mohammad was playing football along with several other young boys in the center of the village of Al-Rihiya, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank. Two Israeli military jeeps entered the village, after which four Israeli soldiers exited the vehicles, spread out along the street, and began firing tear gas canisters and live bullets randomly and directly at the children. As Mohammad and the other children fled westward, one soldier took a kneeling position and fired a single live bullet that struck Mohammad. An older boy managed to pull Mohammad away and carry the injured Mohammad to his uncle’s house nearby. Mohammad was then taken in a private vehicle to Abu Al-Hasan Al-Qasim Hospital in Yatta, where he was later pronounced dead around 6:00 p.m. As soon as the military vehicles arrived, the children fled westward between nearby houses to escape the soldiers. Mohammad was shot while standing on the roadside overlooking the soldiers’ position, near his uncle’s house, about 200 meters away from where the soldiers were stationed. He was shot in the right side of his pelvis, after which the bullet exited from his left side. Mohammad was able to take a few steps before falling to the ground when an additional tear gas canister was fired in his vicinity. A 17-year-old child came to carry Mohammad away when the soldiers fired two additional live bullets at them both. The boy managed to take Mohammad to his Uncle’s home, where he was then driven to the southern side of the village, fearing that soldiers might stop the car during transport. After arriving at the Al-Fawwar refugee camp, south of Hebron, Mohammad was transferred to another vehicle and taken to Abu Al-Hasan Al-Qassem Hospital in Yatta. Upon arrival at the emergency department, doctors attempted to resuscitate his heart twice. Despite continuous efforts, the medical team was unable to save Mohammad." **Impunity:** The Israeli army falsely claimed the boy had been throwing rocks; they recanted their statement after footage from the many cameras placed around the village proved otherwise. Muhammad's family wants nothing more than to see the soldier who killed her son held accountable, but it will never happen. Israel has condemned the shooting of Alia’s son, saying it went against protocol, and has opened an investigation. Though they have the whole thing on camera, Isaac is certain the investigation will amount to nothing. Because, it never happens before.

On October 15, 2025, the Israeli forces arrested the child Mohammed Sabta along with his mother after raiding the family’s home and vandalizing its contents in the town of Issawiya in occupied Jerusalem.

On the morning of 13 October 2025, the Asra Media Office published the lists of Palestinian prisoners to be liberated today by the Hamas in the latest stage of the prisoner exchange taking place as part of the ongoing ceasefire agreement in Gaza. The Palestinian prisoners to be liberated have already boarded buses in Ofer and Ketziot Detention center — after being subjected to torture, abuse and attempted humiliation inside the occupation prisons, once again. **Israeli restrictions**: Israeli forces have fropped by drone and distributed leaflet threatening the families of the liberated prisoners by ordering them not to hold celebrations. They arrested and detained their fathers, brothers and sons in multiple invasions and attacks on villages, cities and refugee camps in the West Bank of occupied Palestine. Exile of over 150 prisoners instead of return home. Prior denial of family visits, prolonging separation and emotional strain. Prisoner transfers between facilities before release, often under strict monitoring. **Attack on the families and journalists near Ofer prison:** The families attempting to meet their loved ones, along with Palestinian and international journalists covering the event near Ofer Prison, were subjected to tear gas, stun grenades, and even live ammunition. Armored vehicles also fired in Beituna, a village near the prison. One young man was wounded by live bullets. **The detaines released in West Bank:** Among those released were 250 Palestinians sentenced to prison terms, most of them convicted by the unfair Israeli military court for deadly attacks on Israelis dating back decades, as well as others convicted on lesser charges. Of those, Israel exiled 154, sending them to neighboring Egypt, where officials said they will be sent to third countries. The rest were returning to homes in east Jerusalem & the West Bank. The agreement also includes 1,718 Palestinian hostages abducted in Gaza and held in Israeli detention facilities since the Israeli ground invasion in October 2023. They were released in Gaza the same day, after Hamas freed 20 Israeli prisoners (all male IDF members) who had been held since October 7, 2023. **Some testimonies** As part of the October 2025 prisoner release deal, two Palestinian prisoners from Hebron had very different fates: Muhammad Ahmad Imran – detained in December 2022 and sentenced to 13 life terms, was exiled by Israel rather than allowed to return home. Israel’s exile policy affects over 150 of the 250 prisoners released, restricting their movements and likely preventing families from seeing them again. His siblings, Ibtisam and Raed Imran, traveled to Ramallah expecting to welcome him, but faced Israeli threats forbidding celebrations or messages of solidarity. Hani al-Zeir – arrested on June 28, 2002, sentenced to 25 years, and served 23 years, was freed and returned home. He reunited with his brother Bassam al-Zeir at the Ramallah Cultural Centre, accompanied by cousin Arafat al-Zeir, who was also released but had deteriorating health and required medical attention. Israeli restrictions prevented families from fully celebrating the reunion. Kamal Abu Shanab, a 51-year-old from the West Bank town of Tulkarem who was released after more than 18 years in prison: “It was an indescribable journey of suffering — hunger, unfair treatment, oppression, torture and curses — more than anything you could imagine,” He said he lost 139 pounds (59 kilograms) in prison. “We don’t recognize him. He’s not the person we knew. Our uncle doesn’t look like our uncle,” said his niece, Farah Abu Shanab. A military court in 2007 convicted Abu Shanab of “military trainings, voluntary manslaughter and membership in an unrecognized organization,” according to Israel’s list of exchanged prisoners. He was arrested that year during an Israeli raid targeting members of the armed wing of Fatah, the political party that runs the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. **The list of 250 life and long sentence prisoners to be liberated:** Some of the freed prisoners will return home, while others will be forcibly deported from their homeland: 1.

On October 10, 2025, during confrontations with Israeli soldiers raiding the town of Jenin, 25-year-old Muhammad Adnan Youssef Salameh was killed after being hit by live bullets in the abdomen and neck near the Cinema Roundabout in the center of the city. The incident occurred as Israeli forces carried out a large-scale raid on several neighborhoods, opening fire toward residents and triggering armed clashes with local fighters. According to researcher Chris Ozieck, geolocation analysis indicates that an Israeli sniper positioned near the Cinema Roundabout in Jenin (coordinates 32.461758, 35.296580) fired the shots that struck Salameh. The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) confirmed that its medical teams transferred the victim’s body after he succumbed to his wounds. The Palestinian Ministry of Health later identified him as Muhammad Adnan Youssef Salameh, aged 25. In the same incident, WAFA News Agency reported that “a 15-year-old child was also injured by live-bullet shrapnel in his lower extremities near the Cinema Roundabout and was transferred to hospital by Red Crescent crews.” With the killing of Salameh, the number of Palestinians killed in the Jenin Governorate rose to 50 since the beginning of the Israeli military campaign on January 21, 2025 **Name of the martyr:** Muhammad Adnan Youssef Salama

These acts of violence against Palestinians during the olive harvest are not new, but their scale and intensity have never been as great as in the past two years. These attacks serve a twofold purpose: first, to spread terror among the population, but also—and above all—to deprive the Palestinian people of one of their only sources of livelihood: the production, sale, and consumption of olive oil. **On October 10, in Beita, Nablus Governorate:** Shortly after midday, two groups of Israeli settlers armed with sticks and stones -- numbering around 70 people in total -- attacked the olive pickers and journalists at the scene in the village of Beita. Israeli troops, who were escorting the settlers during the attack, fired tear gas grenades and stun bombs at the Palestinian farmers; Dozens of settlers, armed with iron bars, brutally beat farmers as well as journalists and international solidarity activists. The army, which followed them, used stun grenades and tear gas, which resulted in additional injuries due to suffocation. Journalists were also among the injured. **Wounded :** 1. According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, 36 people were injured in Beita and nearby villages during the day’s settler attacks, with most of them suffering minor or moderate injuries, with the exception of two who were wounded by gunfire. 2. Journalist Wahaj Bani Moufleh was directly hit by one of these projectiles. 3. The AFP Photographer, Jaafar Ashtiyeh, a veteran Palestinian journalist, was hit by stones on his back, arm, and hand and later treated for bruises. His car was set on fire, along with others parked nearby. He reported that Israeli soldiers present at the scene did not intervene to stop the settlers but instead fired tear gas and rubber bullets at Palestinian farmers and activists to disperse them. **AFP statement :** AFP’s Global Editor-in-Chief Mehdi Lebouachera condemned the “outrageous attack” and called on the Israeli army to protect journalists and ensure that the attackers are prosecuted. **On October 10, in Kafr Ni'ma, west of Ramallah** After the settlers’ attack, Israeli occupation forces arrested six young men after raiding the area where they were harvesting olives in the village of Kafr Ni'ma, west of Ramallah. **Testimony by @Ireallyhateyou on X** "During the settler pogrom last Friday, in the olive orchards of Beita in the West Bank, a friend of mine, a Jewish solidarity activist, got separated from the locals and the other activists and was cornered by masked settlers who were throwing rocks at her. She fell, broke her hand, and couldn't get up, while the settlers continued to stone her. Meanwhile, the Israeli soldiers were firing live rounds to disperse the Palestinians and the rest of the activists. Luckily for her (if you can call it "luck"), one of the pogromists felt sorry for her when he realized she was Jewish and stopped his friends from continuing the attempted lynch." **Testimony of International Solidarity Movement:** *"On October 10, in the hills above Beita, what should have been a joyous start to olive harvesting season illustrated what our Palestinian comrades face as they try to work their land. We arrived to ambulances and three injured Palestinians, attacked by settlers before 8am. Within the first hour, we encountered a group of seven settlers. There was shouting, aggressive posturing and immediate confrontation with the Israeli Occupation Forces. The army fired tear gas canisters at us, and a journalist was injured. Then we were able to negotiate to continue the harvest, and for two and half hours, we enjoyed relative calm until the settlers returned in larger numbers. We started to hear the screams of the Shabab, pointing at a confrontation on a nearby hill. We saw the first car out of eight lit on fire by the settlers, and then sound of live ammunition sent us looking for shelter. A crowd of Palestinians started to move around the hills, while others directed us to safe places as they extinguished the fire. The settlers attacked the Palestinians from the hill behind, leading to the hospitalization of 11 Palestinians and one international volunteer, as well as the setting ablaze of eight cars, and a failed attempt at lighting the ambulance too. This all happened in a well-known place of resistance, where just last year, one of our volunteers– Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi– was martyred while taking shelter in this olive grove. Despite the injuries and violence, farmers we spoke to in Beita saw the day as a success. They still managed to collectively go to the villages’ land and harvest some olives. In many other locations, the harassment and violence of army-supported settlers have kept Palestinians from accessing their land at all. Palestinians pay a heavy price for resisting on a daily basis, but the people of Beita refused to back down, in spite of the odds. The steadfast spirit of resistance is strong. We are not defeated."* **Testimony of photojournalist Jaafar Ashtiyeh:** On October 10, photojournalist Jaafar Ashtiyeh went to document a joint olive harvest between Israeli peace activists and Palestinian farmers in Beita, coordinated with the army. *“Things were quiet when he arrived,” *and soldiers had ordered the group *“not to cross a certain line.”* Suddenly,* “dozens of masked settlers descended upon the harvesters and attacked them with clubs and stones.”* A Palestinian Jeep was torched, and Ashtiyeh’s own car was also destroyed. As he fled, *“they pelted him with stones,”* and he was injured. Unable to reach his vehicle, he watched helplessly as *“my car [was] going up in flames.”* He described it as *“one of the worst moments ever: You see how your property is being destroyed and you are helpless to do anything about it.”* Ashtiyeh lost cameras and equipment in the fire but survived. Despite the injuries, he continues his work: *“I’m trying to avoid the dangers now, but I’ll go back to them. They are my life.”*  *An Israeli throws a stone at olive pickers in the village of Beita as soldiers stand behind him last month. "I'm trying to avoid the dangers now, but I'll go back to them," Ashtiyeh says. "They are my life." Credit: Jaafar Ashtiyeh / AFP*

In October 2025, the Palestinian village of Kafr Qaddum, located in the northern West Bank near Qalqilya, has experienced intensified Israeli military actions and settler violence. **1. Settlement Expansion:** Israeli authorities approved a plan to seize 35 dunams (approximately 9 acres) of land from Kafr Qaddum for the construction of 58 new housing units at the recently legalised Mitzpe Yeshai settlement, situated on the land of Palestinian village Kafr Qaddum, beside the Israeli settlement town of Kedumim where Israeli Minister Smotrich lives, west of Nablus. **2. Attacks on Farmers:** Farmers in Kafr Qaddum have faced attacks from both Israeli forces and settlers during the olive harvest. These assaults have disrupted agricultural activities and posed threats to the livelihoods of local farmers. According to the head of the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, Mu'ayyad Shaaban, "Yesterday we were in Kafr Qaddum, and today we are in al-Nazla al-Sharqiya. All areas are subjected to oppression by the occupation and its colonists. Despite this, the Palestinian farmer insists on reaching his land, which is a source of pride and honor for our people, who rise up as one to protect their land and olives." **3. Military Incursions and Arrests:** Israeli forces have conducted extensive raids in Kafr Qaddum, including the storming of homes and the imposition of curfews. Notably, on October 16, they arrested Murad Shteiwi, the director of the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, and detained two brothers from the village **4. Ongoing Protests:** Despite the challenges, residents have resumed their weekly demonstrations against Israeli occupation and settlement expansion. On October 15, over 100 people participated in a march to the olive groves, signaling a revival of the village's longstanding resistance activities The continuous military presence and settler violence have severely affected daily life in Kafr Qaddum. Local businesses, health facilities, and schools have been forced to close due to security concerns, and residents live under constant fear and disruption.
