This year, Israeli forces have conducted operations across refugee camps that have created the largest refugee crisis in the West Bank since 1967. Recent UNOSAT satellite imagery analysis revealed that Israel destroyed, severely damaged, or moderately damaged 676 structures (52% of all structures) in Jenin Camp, 382 structures (48%) in Nur Shams, and 402 structures (36%) in Tulkarm.
This systematic destruction of Gaza's built environment, which has affected four out of every five structures across the entire Strip, represents the deliberate rendering of Palestinian territory uninhabitable, transforming an entire society's homeland into an endless landscape of rubble while forcing survivors into perpetual internal exile.
It's important to note that despite our error, the number of Palestinians killed since the initiation of the ceasefire is at least 236. This is still significant, as it represents direct deaths — executions that have continued despite an ostensible end to Israel’s attacks.

Israel’s killings in Gaza are a reminder that every child's death isn’t collateral damage. Still, rather it is the central logic of a system that cannot tolerate indigenous futurity on land it has marked for capitalist transformation.
The fundamental issue isn't whether aid increased after the ceasefire, but whether humanitarian supplies can ever substitute for a functioning economy. The post-ceasefire period showed daily deliveries of 1,011 metric tons—an improvement, yet still dependent on maintaining 94 trucks crossing daily. A single policy change at a checkpoint can reverse these gains overnight.
New data reveals an escalating pattern of displacement and violence in the occupied West Bank, with Israeli forces conducting 445 demolition operations year-to-date, displacing 1,770 Palestinians and destroying 1,409 structures. The daily reality—averaging 6.87 people displaced and 4.85 structures demolished—reflects zionism's systematic policies of territorial control through bureaucratic violence and collective erasure.
As the work continues, we're reaching out to folks like yourself to ask that you continue to invest in the work here on the ground in Palestine.
The way forward can feel uncertain and even scary, particularly when the stakes are so high. But we cannot give up, as people in Gaza and the rest of Palestine have also refused to give up.
Last night, Israel intercepted the Gaza Sumud Flotilla—the largest flotilla ever to attempt breaking the nearly two-decade siege, with 41 boats supported by solidarity teams worldwide. Despite Israel seizing all vessels, at least one ship successfully broke through the naval blockade into Gaza's territorial waters, revealing another crack in the colony's claim to impenetrability.
Wafa Al-Udaini, 39, wrote for The Guardian and mentored young Palestinian journalists. An Israeli airstrike on her home killed her alongside her husband and two children on September 29, 2024. Just one week before her death, she wrote - "There is no such thing as protective attire for journalists in Gaza." Her last message read, "I am fine, patient and steadfast."
Israeli forces killed 416 Palestinians between September 10 and 17, bringing total fatalities since October 2023 to 65,062, with 165,697 injured—figures universally recognized as undercounts, with some scholars estimating closer to 680,000 deaths—while damaging 11 UNRWA shelters and forcing 125,600 people to flee in just one week.
As an organization that has rejected chasing grants from large foundations and institutions, the Good Shepherd Collective has been fully reliant on the movement to finance the work in Palestine. We're asking folks to consider becoming monthly contributions to advance the work in Palestine.
Twenty-nine settler attacks were documented this week, injuring 24 Palestinians and damaging property, including 30 trees, 12 vehicles, four houses, and various infrastructure. In Khallet Addaba', settlers attacked residents with knife-fitted sticks, injuring 14 Palestinians, including seven children. In Hebron, armed settlers forced a Palestinian family from their vehicle at gunpoint, assaulting them and preventing medical teams from reaching them for four hours.
Today, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club announced that the total number of known Palestinian prisoners has risen to 11,100. This includes 3,577 administrative detainees, who are held indefinitely and without charge, 2,662 detainees classified as “unlawful combatants”, and 400 children. I note these are the total number of known prisoners because it is not known how many Palestinians from Gaza have been abducted and continue to be held in Israeli army camps.
