•    Occupation forces evacuate Ibrahimi Mosque to allow the performance of Talmudic rituals

•    66% of Gaza is destroyed, and the coverage of Israeli crimes in the Strip is nearly absent from the media scene

Jeddah, 1 October, 2024 -The Israeli occupation forces have continued to strike safe havens in the Gaza Strip, murdering dozens of Palestinians. The total number of Palestinians murdered from September 24 to 30, 2024, has reached 171, according to the Media Observatory of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation on Israeli Crimes against the Palestinians.

The number of Palestinians murdered from October 7, 2023, to September 30, 2024, has reached 42,334, with 102,109 injured.

During the past seven days, the occupation army has targeted the tents housing the displaced persons west of the city of Deir al-Balah, and homes in the city of Khan Yunis. The OIC Observatory also documented the clear targeting of the displaced at Al-Faluja School in Jabalia camp, as well as Umm Al-Fahm and Abu Jaafar schools in Beit Lahia. A number of others were murdered in an Israeli bombardment of the displaced people’s tents around Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah.

Meanwhile, the United Nations Satellite Center issued an assessment of the demolished buildings in the Gaza Strip, which showed that two-thirds of all the buildings in the Strip were damaged, totaling about 66%, and included 163,778 buildings, according to images collected on September 3-6, 2024. The UN indicated that 52,564 buildings were completely destroyed, 18,913 buildings were severely damaged, 35,591 buildings were possibly damaged, and 56,710 buildings were moderately damaged. According to the images, the Gaza Governorate was the most affected by the destruction. 

On the other hand, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) stated that it was unable to make adequate preparations for the rainy season in the Gaza Strip, due to the obstacles imposed by the Israeli occupation forces. At the same time, reports indicated that more than 90% of the population of the Gaza Strip had already been displaced from their homes during the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza.

On another note, the OIC’s Observatory noted the near-disappearance of the coverage of Israeli crimes in the Gaza Strip from the media scene.

In the West Bank and occupied Al-Quds, two Palestinians were murdered in Hebron and Jenin over the past week, while the occupation forces arrested 231 Palestinians.

Jewish extremists continued to storm the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Al-Quds. Meanwhile, the occupation forces prevented members of the diplomatic corps accredited to the State of Palestine from entering the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron in order to hide the crimes committed by Israel.

The Israeli occupation forces also evacuated worshipers from the mosque to make way for Jewish settlers to perform their Talmudic rituals. They also prevented the dawn call to prayer at the mosque for 16 consecutive days as of the writing of this report. 

The occupation forces demolished nine homes in Al-Quds, Jericho, Hebron, Jenin, and Tubas, burned a home in Jenin camp, removed ten barns in Jenin and Hebron, destroyed a blacksmith workshop and confiscated its equipment in Qalqilya, and confiscated the contents of a grocery store as well. 

They demolished five water collection wells and damaged water tanks in the town of Beit Ula in Hebron. 

The occupation forces bulldozed streets and destroyed infrastructure in Jenin, besieged the government and Ibn Sina hospitals in Jenin, and searched ambulances at the government hospital. They bulldozed streets and infrastructure and damaged other shops during their raid on the Balata camp in Nablus.

The occupation forces also bulldozed an area estimated at about 20 dunams planted with about 600 olive trees in Hebron.

In the same context, the occupation forces issued a military order to confiscate eight dunams of Palestinian land in the village of Fasayil, in order to expand a new security road linking the "Tomer" settlement to Line No. 90 in Jericho. They also confiscated a bulldozer and a truck in Jenin.

The number of times settlers raided Palestinian villages and towns during the period of September 24-30, 2024, was 48 times, during which they burned and broke tree branches. There were five instances of settlement activities in the Palestinian territories during the same period, including bulldozing operations and attempts to seize Palestinian lands in Salfit, Nablus, Hebron, Bethlehem, and Ramallah. The toll number of crimes and violations committed by the occupation forces during the aforementioned period reached 1,622 across the occupied Palestinian territories. – OIC News
