palestinian deaths

A pre-dawn Israeli airstrike killed three members of a Palestinian family, including a one-year-old child, in central Gaza on Sunday, a hospital said. At least 890 Palestinians have been killed since the October 10 ceasefire, according to Gaza's health ministry, which operates under Hamas authority and whose figures are considered reliable by the UN. The Israeli military says five of its soldiers have also been during the same period.

Israel's parliament has greenlit a special tribunal to try and sentence to death Palestinians convicted in the October 7th Hamas-led attack. The bill, passed overwhelmingly, aims to punish those responsible for the deadliest assault in Israel's history. Rights groups, however, voice concerns over fair trial procedures and the ease of imposing the death penalty.

The United Nations condemned on Tuesday the toll from "escalating" Israeli military operations and settler attacks in the occupied West Bank on children, with 70 Palestinian children killed since the start of 2025. Since the start of 2025, when Israel began a large-scale military operation in the West Bank, "at least one Palestinian child has been killed on average every single week" there, adding that another 850 children had been injured during that period.

Israeli forces have killed Izz al-Din al-Haddad, a senior Hamas military commander linked to the October 7 attacks. Haddad, who assumed a key role after Mohammed Sinwar's death, was reportedly involved in holding Israeli hostages. His elimination marks another significant blow to Hamas's leadership amid ongoing Israeli operations in Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged some responsibility for the October 7th security failures, stating accountability rests with "everyone" across the establishment. He emphasized focusing on post-attack events and Iran's broader threat, asserting he was previously a restrained leader. The offensive in Gaza has resulted in significant Palestinian casualties and destruction.

A version of the British Parliament has been around since 1265 in one form or another, and has survived murderous kings, civil and world wars, lord protectors, skirmishes that inspired the Game of Thrones Red Wedding, and one lettuce that briefly became a constitutional actor. It has seen its fair share of entertaining characters.

During the celebrations of St George's Day, a Nottingham councillor sparked a lively discussion by questioning the English heritage of the saint, which led to a spirited disagreement with a former MP. While St George has been celebrated in England for centuries, his narrative is intertwined with Middle Eastern history, a nuance often eclipsed by modern-day nationalism and tensions.

The measure marks a significant win for the country’s far-right bloc and reflects a tougher posture toward Palestinians following the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attack and the subsequent war in Gaza. While capital punishment has long existed in Israeli law, it has been carried out only twice in the country’s 78-year history.

Israel's parliament has approved a controversial law allowing the execution of Palestinians convicted of deadly terror attacks, alongside a crucial national budget. Prime Minister Netanyahu backed the bill, which critics argue creates unequal legal tracks. This dual move comes amid ongoing regional conflict and rising violence in the West Bank.

More than 100 Palestinians have been killed across the occupied West Bank since war erupted between Israel and Gaza's Islamist rulers Hamas on October 7, the health ministry said Wednesday. Violence had already spiralled in the West Bank before the Gaza war, with the highest death toll in the Palestinian territory since at least 2005. Many of the palestinian deaths came in raids by Israeli troops, but there has also been a rise in violence between Palestinians and Israeli settlers which has seen civilians as well as fighters killed on both sides.

Shireen Abu Akleh, 51, a Palestinian-American, was wearing a press vest that clearly marked her as a journalist while reporting in the city of Jenin, the Qatar-based outlet said.

Violence has escalated in the occupied West Bank following Israel's declaration of war on Hamas. Israeli security forces have killed at least 27 Palestinians in clashes since Saturday.

The prospect of an independent Palestinian state seems further away than ever, as Israeli settlements expand and negotiations remain frozen.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed concern over the high number of Palestinian casualties in Gaza due to Israel's bombardment and ground invasion.

He also mentioned ongoing discussions with Israel to secure the release of hostages held by Palestinian militants.
