Israel initially denied the attack, while Hamas condemned the incident as a massacre. - **22 June**: Israeli artillery shelled refugee tents in Al-Mawasi, Rafah, killing 25 Palestinians and setting tents on fire, forcing residents to flee north to Khan Yunis. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) reported that shells landed near its office and staff residences, affecting many of their Palestinian staff and families. The shelling led to a large influx of casualties to the ICRC's field hospital in the area. - **13 July**: Airstrikes on Al-Nas part of Al-Mawasi refugee camps killed 90 people and injured 300, half of whom were women and children. Israel stated the target was Hamas military leaders, though this was denied by Hamas. - **16 July**: A drone strike hit a civilian vehicle in Khan Yunis, killing 17 Palestinians and injuring 26. - **10 September**: Israeli forces bombed refugee tents near Khan Yunis, killing 40 Palestinians and injuring 60. Many victims remain buried under the sand. Israel claimed it targeted Hamas operatives, but survivors described it as a mass grave. ### Context of Violence - Since October 7, 2023, Israel's Gaza offensive has caused over 41,000 Palestinian deaths, mostly women and children, and left 95,000 injured. - Due to the siege of all the Gaza Strip by IDF since 11 months, Gaza is suffering from severe shortages of food, water, and medicine due to an ongoing blockade. - Israel faces accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.

Bana Amjad Bakr Laboum assassination

West Bank, Nablus, Qaryut 06 September, 2024
On September 6, 2024, around 2 p.m., groups of Israeli settlers attacked the village of Qaryut, which is surrounded by the illegal Israeli settlements of Shiloh, Eli, and Rachel. The residents confronted the settlers to protect their homes and property, forcing the settlers to retreat to the outskirts. Around half an hour later, Israeli forces entered the village, firing indiscriminately at homes and residents, and confrontation erupted between the forces and residents by throwing stones. The Israeli raid on the village continued until around 6 p.m. on the same day, resulting in the killing of Banah and injuring two Palestinian youths. **According to documentation collected by Defense for Children International - Palestine** Banah Amjad Bakr Laboum, 13, was shot and killed by an Israeli sniper around 4:50 p.m. Banah had opened a window of her family’s house, located in the center of the village, where Israeli soldiers were stationed in an alley directly across from the house. An Israeli sniper shot Banah in the chest after she opened the window and was struck by a bullet in the chest from a distance of 150 to 200 meters (492 to 656 feet) away. Banah was covered in blood and unconscious. Her father immediately carried her to an ambulance close to the house and transferred her to Rafidia Governmental Hospital in Nablus city, where she was pronounced dead on arrival. **Qaryut** is located 17 km south of Nablus. It is bordered by Duma and Jalud to the east, Qusra and Talfit to the north, As Sawiya to the west, and Turmus'ayya to the south. **Father’s Grief**: *The father of 12-year-old Bana Baker is mourning his daughter, who was shot and killed in their home in the town of Qariout, southeast of Nablus. A few days ago, Bana had prepared her school uniform with her mother and bought a new bag. She was eagerly anticipating returning to school on Monday. The summer break had ended, and with great excitement, she was ready to go back and become a ninth-grade student. However, instead of welcoming her home after school on Monday, her father bid his final farewell to her in the hospital morgue on Friday evening. Father Amjad had prepared his daughter for school; he was filled with excitement. …But my daughter was shot by a sniper. She was on the balcony of our house, struck directly in the heart. My daughter is no more important than those who died in Gaza or Jenin. They are all the children of Palestine. The fate of the Palestinians is our fate.Bana had eagerly prepared for her return to school after the summer break, anticipating her first day as a ninth-grader. Her father, who had shared her excitement, instead said his final goodbye in a hospital morgue.* **Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Response**: The Ministry condemned the "execution" of Bana Baker, citing it as part of a broader pattern of violence against Palestinian civilians, especially children, by Israeli forces and settlers. **Call for International Protection**: The MFA urged the international community to enforce international law, provide protection for Palestinians, and impose sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements, as violence against Palestinians escalates under the protection of the Israeli military.
