Gaza Ceasefire Death Toll Reaches 818 Martyrs, 2,301 Injuries Since October 11, 2025

The Gaza Strip’s Ministry of Health reported that a total of 818 martyrs and 2,301 injuries had been recorded since the ceasefire went into effect on October 11, 2025.

The same report said that 762 bodies had been recovered from the missing under rubble, and that a number of victims remained under rubble and in the streets because ambulance and Civil Defense crews were unable to reach them at present.

It also stated that the death toll from the Israeli aggression had risen to 72,594 martyrs and 172,404 injuries since October 7, 2023.

The ministry’s figures were presented alongside a description of ongoing medical evacuation efforts through Rafah.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said its teams continued humanitarian work in accompanying patients and the wounded on travel through the Rafah border crossing.

In a statement, the society said that its ambulances carried travelers and ensured their safe arrival, and that the travelers were received and gathered at the Palestinian Red Crescent Medical Rehabilitation Hospital in Khan Younis.

The society concluded that the total number of evacuees was 47 travelers, including 24 patients and 23 accompanying persons.

In the Hebron Governorate, the same report described what it called a rapid Israeli settler-occupation escalation manifested in demolitions, notices, and forced evictions affecting 16 residential, agricultural, and industrial facilities within one week.

It said that occupation authorities notified of demolishing five homes and a sheep pen in the village of Beerin, southeast of Hebron.

The report also said that in the town of Beit Ummar north of Hebron, occupation forces filled a water well in the Wardān area east of the town after raiding it with military vehicles, and they handed a notice to demolish a car wash on the Jerusalem–Hebron road.

Earlier, it said forces notified stopping work and construction on seven homes east of Yatta, south of Hebron, after raiding the area of al-Dirat, whose ownership belongs to several Palestinians, in addition to a sheep pen.

In Tarqumia northwest of Hebron, it said occupation forces demolished a two-story house in the Shuʿab al-Bir area after evacuating its contents, which housed ten people.

The report added that authorities had previously, on December 22, 2025, notified demolishing six other houses in the same area despite the owners’ possession of title deeds.

It further stated that Israeli bulldozers demolished a factory for iron forming and other industrial facilities in the Beit Ola town, northwest of Hebron, after raiding the al-Mikhadh road.

The report also described settler activity in the village of Kisan east of Bethlehem, saying that settlers under protection of Israeli forces erected a communications tower in the village of Kisan.

It said local sources reported that the settlers installed the tower on land belonging to residents in the al-Matina area east of the village near residents’ homes.

The report stated that this “confirms that it poses a danger to their lives and paves the way for seizing more land and preventing its owners from accessing it.”

It added that last week settlers set up a tent in the area of Dhahr al-Mazrab south of the village and raised Israeli flags on it.

The report said Israeli forces and settlers intensified assaults on the village of Kisan by pursuing shepherds and seizing several heads of cattle, and attacking residents’ homes.

It also said Israeli forces conducted wide raids in various parts of the occupied West Bank, including raids on homes and arrests of Palestinians.

In the Hebron Governorate, it said Israeli forces raided the town of Idna to the west and raided the Abu Jahisha family home and detained several youths.

A separate report described an escalation of attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank on Tuesday, saying four people were killed in Ramallah, Hebron, and Jenin.

It said the largest assault targeted a school in the town of al-Mughir, north of Ramallah, where settlers opened fire on a boys’ school on the outskirts of the town, killing a child and a young man and wounding three others.

The Health Ministry announced the martyrdom of the child Ous Hamdi Al-Nassan (14) and the young man Jihad Marzooq Abu Naeem (32), and it said three injuries were recorded from live ammunition during the settlers’ attack on the al-Mughir Boys’ School.

The report quoted eyewitnesses describing how village youths reached the school to evacuate students and staff after the school appealed to locals to come and help.

It included a direct account from Qusai Nassan, who said: “As soon as ambulances arrived and began transporting the injured, the Israeli army intervened, backing the settlers and attacking the area.”

The report said soldiers fired a volley of poisonous tear gas canisters toward residents who rushed to the scene to protect their children.

It also described a separate death in Jenin, saying Mrs. Rajaa Aweis (45) from the Jenin refugee camp died after injuries she sustained about two and a half years ago during an Israeli army raid on the camp.

At the United Nations Security Council, Ramiz Alakbarov, UN Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, delivered an assessment that the progression of colonization in 2025 reached its highest level since the United Nations began tracking it in 2017.

The UN News report said Alakbarov warned that the dynamic was accelerating even as international law set red lines.

It said the report’s core message was that expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is “today the main factor of structural destabilization.”

It also said the decision taken on December 11 by the Israeli cabinet to approve or regularize 19 additional settlement outposts, including the Ganim and Kadim communities evacuated in 2005 in the north of the West Bank, fit this logic.

The UN News report stated that the UN said the policy no longer limits itself to expansion of existing settlements but now also encompasses outposts and associated infrastructure in contempt of international law.

It added that all Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the infrastructures associated with them, are devoid of any legal validity and constitute a violation of international law and UN resolutions.

In the same UN News account, it described Gaza’s ceasefire as fragile, saying the ceasefire that took effect on October 10 remains fragile while Israeli airstrikes continue and Palestinian attacks against Israeli soldiers also persist.
