Military escalation in the Gaza Strip and raids in Judea and Samaria

Various sources identified with the Palestinians report on June 24, 2026, about extensive military activity in the Gaza Strip. According to أخبار غزة الأن│Warlife, which takes a critical and sharp line against Israeli activity, a sharp 67% decrease in the birth rate in the Strip has been recorded since last November. In the same report, it was claimed that "97% of schools in Gaza and 22 universities have been destroyed" as a result of the war.

On the ground, Shehab Agency reports the "demolition of residential buildings" east of the Jabalia camp and heavy artillery fire in the south of the Strip. In parallel, Al-Quds Channel documented the use of combat boats that opened fire on fishermen off the coast of Khan Yunis. On social networks, and particularly on the Nabatieh channel, footage was published of bulldozers carrying out "clearing operations" in the Al-Atatra area, alongside claims of intentional damage to camps for displaced persons and the use of booby-trapped robots in the Gaza City area.

In the Judea and Samaria sector, local media outlets including Quds News Network report frequent raids by Israeli security forces. In the cities of Qalqilya and Beita Nablus, entries of forces were documented, while in the northern Jordan Valley, it was reported in Nablus Post that "the occupation confiscated agricultural equipment and solar energy panels."

In addition to the military reports, Jenin News emphasizes the difficult humanitarian situation, and calls for continued civilian aid efforts and a boycott of goods identified with Israel, while describing Gaza as needing "long recovery periods" due to the extensive destruction of homes.
