An analysis by the OIC Media Observatory on Israeli Crimes against Palestinians revealed that, over the past twelve months, the average number of Palestinians murdered by Israel in the Gaza Strip reached 1,477 per month, confirming Israel’s intention to pursue a systematic and ongoing genocide.
The OIC Observatory recorded 298 Palestinians murdered between May 6 and 12, 2025, in addition to 1,063 injured. The total number of Palestinians murdered from October 7, 2023, to May 12, 2025, reached 53,835, and the injured were 126,348.
This data comes as The Economist magazine estimated that the actual number of Palestinians murdered in the Gaza Strip could reach 109,000, roughly double the officially announced figures, noting that thousands of Palestinians who died under the rubble of destroyed buildings remain undocumented.
In July 2024, it was announced that 21,000 missing persons, referred to as “shadow victims,” were presumed dead under the rubble or buried in mass graves.
Meanwhile, over the past seven days, Israeli occupation forces have bombed a number of schools housing internally displaced persons (IDPs), including the Abu Hamisa School, which is affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
In the Bureij refugee camp, the agency’s food supply building was also bombed. Other schools targeted included the Al-Karama School in the Tuffah neighborhood, the New Gaza School on Al-Nasr Street in Gaza, and the Fatima Bint Asad School in the Jabalia refugee camp.
Furthermore, the Thai Restaurant in Western Gaza, was also bombed, where 20 Palestinians, including a journalist, were murdered. The bombing also targeted homes and tents of the displaced, which were burned, amid a politicized state of starvation. UN human rights experts have confirmed that Israel, the occupying power, uses starvation as a tool of war.
The Israeli occupation forces repeatedly targeted fishermen on the shores of Beit Lahia between May 6 and 12, 2025. They had previously targeted fishermen off the coast of Khan Yunis and the town of Az-Zawaida.
They also bombed farmers and agricultural lands to prevent them from being cultivated by burning their crops. The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor reported the deaths of 14 elderly people due to malnutrition.
During the mentioned period (May 6 and 12, 2025), the occupation forces arrested 144 Palestinians in the West Bank, bringing the total number of arrests during the period from October 7, 2023, to May 12, 2025, to 21,651 in the West Bank alone.
Over the past week, Israeli occupation forces arrested seven children in the West Bank, injured five others, and deprived 800 students of education after six UNRWA schools in occupied Al-Quds were closed, in implementation of the agency’s decision to suspend its operations.
Settlers also provoked Palestinians near the Umm Safa village school in Ramallah, while Israeli occupation forces disrupted school hours during their deployment in front of schools in the town of Hizma in Al-Quds, and raided the Husan secondary school for boys in Bethlehem.
Israeli occupation forces demolished 22 homes in the West Bank and occupied Al-Quds, in addition to a horse stable, fences, and bulldozers of agricultural land in the village of Al-Issawiya in Al-Quds, as well as sheep pens, water tanks, wells, and seven caves near the village of Ein Al-Bayda in Tubas, and the village of Wadi Rahhal in Bethlehem.
They confiscated two bulldozers and an agricultural tractor in the village of Zabda in Jenin, and raided and searched a prayer hall in the village of Al-Rashaydeh in Bethlehem.
The number of Israeli crimes reached 2571 in just 7 days, and 255763 crimes in a year and a half. A significant incident was the settlers’ attempt to slaughter a sacrifice upon bringing it in through the Ghawanmeh Gate in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, which constituted a deliberate desecration of the sanctity of the mosque, which has been subjected to daily raids throughout the past week.
The occupation authorities have also begun excavations in the Al-Shihabi courtyard, near the Iron Gate leading to Al-Aqsa Mosque, with the aim of expanding the area allocated for settlers to perform “Talmudic” rituals in the place.
Settler attacks accounted for a large portion of the monitored crimes, with seven settlement activities in the West Bank between May 6 and 12, 2025. Lands surrounding the settlements of Movo Dotan and Hermesh were bulldozed in the plain of Ya’bad town in Jenin.
An order was issued to confiscate 1,965 dunums of land from the villages of Sanniriya and Mas’ha in Qalqilya, in preparation for the construction of six settlement units. Lands east of the village of Beit Ta’mar in Bethlehem were bulldozed, and mobile homes were placed on them to establish a new settlement outpost.
Settlers also bulldozed land in the Umm al-Jimal area of Tubas, while others set up tents in an attempt to establish a new settlement outpost south of the town of Tekoa in Bethlehem.
They also re-erected a tent in place of the settlement outpost near the village of al-Mughayyir in Ramallah. They seized a drinking water well and built a water pool next to it, south of Bethlehem.
The West Bank have been subjected to 41 settler attacks over the past seven days. During these attacks, settlers cut down and uprooted 200 olive trees in the village of Al-Mughayyir in Ramallah, and dozens of fig trees in the plain of the village of Ramin in Tulkarm.
