Two children killed and wounded  by Israeli army gunfire  in Beit Lahia and Nablus

A Palestinian girl was wounded by Israeli army gunfire in the town of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip on Friday morning, in a new incident that is part of the ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement in force in the Gaza Strip since October 2025.

The Directorate of Medical Services in northern Gaza said that its teams transferred a 10-year-old girl to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, in a serious condition, after she was exposed to gunfire that targeted residents and displaced people in the area of the Beit Lahia project.

Eyewitnesses reported that the girl was shot in the head while she was inside the Khalifa school, which shelters displaced people, stressing that Israeli vehicles stationed in the north and east of the town have fired heavy fire since Thursday evening, coinciding with artillery shelling in the vicinity of the area.

Residents and displaced people living near the IDF deployment areas are subjected to repeated fire from vehicles and snipers, resulting in deaths and injuries on an almost daily basis.

As Israel continues to occupy more than half of the Gaza Strip, hundreds of thousands of displaced people are living in tents, schools and shelters amid dire humanitarian conditions, after their homes were destroyed during the war.

The government media office in Gaza announced on April 14 that Israel had committed 2,400 violations of the ceasefire agreement, including killings, arrests, sieges and starvation, resulting in the  death of 972 Palestinians and the wounding of 2,235 others, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

The agreement came after two years of a genocidal war that began on October 8, 2023, and resulted in more than 72,000 deaths and 172,000 injuries, in addition to extensive destruction of 90% of infrastructure.

A child was killed in Nablus by Israeli army gunfire

A  Palestinian child  was killed by the Israeli army during its raid into the city of Nablus in the northern West Bank,  and the official Palestine TV reported that a Palestinian child was "martyred by the Israeli occupation's bullets" during the raid into the city of Nablus, while local sources said that he was named Yousef Sameh Shtayyeh from the town of Tal, southwest of Nablus, and lives in the city.

Meanwhile, on the evening of Thursday, April 24, 2026, the Israeli army claimed  that its forces were subjected to an attempted ramming near the village of Burqa in Nablus in the northern West Bank, coinciding with the continuation of attacks in the city and other areas in the West Bank.

"A military force was subjected to a vehicular attempt in the village of Burqa in Nablus without causing any injuries," he said in a statement, noting that his forces began a vehicle chase of the suspect in the vehicular attempt.

On Thursday morning,  the Israeli army stormed  Nablus and raided a building in the Rafidia neighborhood, conducted a field investigation with citizens, and fired live bullets as it withdrew from the city towards the Beit Wazen area, injuring a young man.

Medical sources reported that the young man was hit by live bullets in his shoulder, and his condition is serious, and he was transferred to a hospital.

West Bank. Hebron Mayor Released After 8 Months of Arrest

Israeli authorities have released the mayor of Hebron, 71, Tayseer Abu Sneineh, after nearly eight months in detention, and local sources said Abu Sneineh appeared exhausted and thin at the moment of his release, in a sign of his deteriorating health. His family members and friends received him at a checkpoint before taking him to his home in Hebron.

The Israeli army arrested him on September 2, 2025, during a campaign of large-scale incursions that affected several governorates. Israeli forces continue to carry out daily arrests targeting national and religious figures, while their attacks in the West Bank since the start of the war of extermination in Gaza have resulted in the death of at least 1,153 Palestinians, in addition to thousands of wounded and detained.

Dutch pastor: The destruction of the statue of Christ in Lebanon is "systematic violence"

Dutch pastor Ariane Brewers said that the destruction of a statue of Jesus Christ by an Israeli soldier in the town of Dibal in southern Lebanon represents "systematic violence against humanity", stressing that what happened is not an isolated incident but an extension of military behavior based on the absence of law.

In an interview with Anadolu Agency, the pastor of the Dominicos Church in Amsterdam, explained that the destruction of a religious symbol comes in a broader context than targeting civilians and destroying homes and schools.

He criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks as "horrific," saying sending soldiers to an "unjust war" makes such actions predictable.

He added that Israel "attacks humanity and undermines the humanity of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank," noting that the transfer of violence to Lebanon reflects an extension of what is happening in the Strip, calling on European governments to act and reject the justification of the incident as an "individual mistake."

The Israeli army announced the removal of the soldier who smashed the statue and his colleague who filmed the incident from combat missions and detained them for 30 days, while keeping them on duty, and during the two recent aggressions on Lebanon, Israel caused the death of the priest of the parish of St. George's Church and damaged seven churches.
