Israel murders children in West Bank, then STOPS medics reaching them

Israel continues to use the so-called ‘ceasefire’ – still breached massively every day – to murder Palestinians and steal territory in the West Bank.

After attacking Palestinian farmers to prevent the olive harvest, abducting dozens, burning farms and destroying water resources, the colonisers have killed an older woman and a child overnight in separate attacks in the West Bank areas of Ramallah and Jenin.

Occupation soldiers stormed Haniya Hannoun’s home in the early hours of this morning in the al-Mazra’a al-Gharbiya village north of Ramallah. Local journalists report that she was beaten to death as Israeli troops abducted her grandson Mohammad Abbas Hannoun and ransacked the home.

During the night, occupation forces also shot 15-year-old Murad Fawzi Abu Saifein – then blocked Palestinian medics from reaching him until he died and took Murad’s body so the family cannot even bury him.

Israeli impunity

Israel has now murdered at least fifty-six people in Jenin Governorate since it began its assault on the city and refugee camp located there. Countless others have also been wounded. And, Israel have completely demolished a third of the camp – 600 homes – displacing around twenty-two thousand residents in the area.

Zionist forces have also continually intensified their daily incursions and attacks on civilians in the area since the beginning of the so-called ceasefire in Gaza. The strategy mirrors the occupation’s actions in January when Netanyahu offered an escalation in the West Bank to bribe fascist settler ministers into remaining in the government after the first Gaza ‘ceasefire’ of 2025, even while breaching it daily.

Israel has continued to bomb and shoot civilians in Gaza, initially using the current supposed ceasefire to retrench and re-fit, but has already returned to intense bombing of civilian areas little reported by the UK ‘mainstream’ media, which whitewashes the crimes even when they are reported by repeating Israel’s lies it uses to excuse them.

The occupation regime has openly said it will resume its full attack on Gaza as soon as it suits its purposes – again, unreported by the corporate media.
