▪️ Southern Gaza: The Associated Press, citing Nasser Hospital, reported that at least one Palestinian was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Friday morning. The Israeli military claimed it had targeted a Hamas member.

▪️ Western Gaza City: Local reports indicated that one Palestinian was killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike near Al-Shati Boys’ School. An independently verified casualty count was not yet available.

▪️ Thursday’s casualties: Reuters, citing Palestinian medical sources, reported that at least four Palestinians were killed in separate Israeli attacks on October 22. These deaths belong to the previous reporting period and should not automatically be added to Friday’s casualty figures.

▪️ Children: UNICEF warned that Palestinian children continue to be killed in Gaza, reporting that more than 350 children have died since the October 2025 ceasefire.

⚖️ The Observer’s View | Has the West Bank Become a Hostage to Israel’s Elections?

Palestinian civilians have the right to protection from Israeli military attacks and acts of violence. Imposing sweeping restrictions on the population of the occupied West Bank constitutes a serious human rights concern.

Even more troubling is the timing of these measures, just four days before Israel’s elections, amid increasingly hardline security rhetoric as Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir compete to project strength.

Meanwhile, the continued loss of Palestinian lives in Gaza, particularly children, raises fundamental questions about the effectiveness of the ceasefire and the mechanisms intended to ensure civilian protection.

Conclusion

From Hebron to Jenin, Nablus, and Gaza, Palestinians continue to pay the price of occupation, military restrictions, and the absence of meaningful protection.

If Israel’s stated objective is to prevent attacks, will restricting the movement of millions of Palestinian civilians genuinely improve security, or will it deepen resentment and further fuel the conflict?

Real security cannot be achieved through collective punishment or settlement expansion. It requires ending the occupation, respecting Palestinian rights, protecting civilians, and ensuring accountability for violations.
