Another Palestinian was killed by Israeli army fire near the Bani Suheila roundabout east of the city, the same article added.

Palestine Chronicle also described Israeli artillery shelling targeting the Al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City, while bombardment resumed in the eastern parts of the city.

It further said additional shelling struck Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, while gunfire and artillery attacks continued east of Khan Yunis.

The article stated that on Saturday, Palestinian Mohammed al-Sayed Suleiman Sbeitan was killed in an Israeli drone strike near the al-Qastal Towers east of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, and that drones continue to fly over Khan Younis.

It added that artillery shelling is targeting the eastern areas of the city and that gunfire and artillery attacks continued east of Khan Yunis, placing the violence alongside “continued Israeli military operations despite the ceasefire agreement.”

Palestine Chronicle said the attacks came amid continued Israeli military operations despite the ceasefire agreement, and it placed the violence within a broader tally of deaths and injuries since the ceasefire declared on October 11.

The article stated that “the number of Palestinians killed since the ceasefire declared on October 11 has risen to 828, with 2,342 wounded,” and it said authorities reported the recovery of 767 bodies during the same period.

It also described Israeli occupation forces continuing “large-scale raids and arrest operations across the occupied West Bank on Sunday.”

In the village of Arana, northeast of Jenin, the report said Israeli forces arrested Hamza Munther Hanani and Haitham Ahmed al-Saleh during raids.

In Qabatiya, south of Jenin, it said troops arrested Islam Daghlas and his brother Abdullah after raiding their home, and it added that local sources said Israeli forces confiscated four gazelles during the operation.

Palestine Chronicle further described raids in Tulkarm, saying Israeli occupation forces raided homes in the town of Saida north of the city and reportedly converted several houses into military barracks.

It also said that in Bethlehem, Israeli troops stormed the Dheisheh refugee camp and detained journalist Islam Amarna, along with Fayez Muhammad Rabay’a, after raiding and searching their homes.

Multiple reports described a parallel pattern of raids, arrests, and injuries across the occupied West Bank as the Gaza fighting continued.

Middle East Monitor reported that “Seven Palestinians were injured on Saturday in Israeli occupiers’ attacks in the West Bank, while the Israeli army arrested six others,” citing Wafa for details including injuries in Jalud south of Nablus and in Jabal Jalis east of Hebron.

It said four Palestinians, including a 71-year-old woman, were injured in an assault by the occupiers in Jabal Jalis, and it added that in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, the occupiers released their livestock onto residents’ lands and uprooted around 30 olive trees, according to an activist, Osama Makhamreh.

The same report said the occupiers continued daily attacks on the village of Duma, southeast of Nablus, and it described arrests in Jenin after the Israeli army arrested two residents from the village of Kafr Qud.

TRT عربي described a different set of incidents, saying in the town of Salwad, east of Ramallah, Palestinian Abdul-Halim Hamad, 37, was killed by live fire from the Israeli army during its raid and the army later detained his body, citing WAFA and the Ministry of Health.

TRT عربي also said Israeli forces closed the Atara and Ein Sina checkpoints north of Ramallah, restricted civilian movement, and fired tear gas, causing a severe traffic jam, while also closing entrances to the towns of Salwad and Deir Jarir.

It added that the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club said the Israeli army detained around 140 Palestinians during Monday and Tuesday as part of wide-ranging raids, including beatings, field interrogations, and property destruction.

The sources also diverged in how they framed the conflict and the actions described, with some reports emphasizing humanitarian and legal concerns while others focused on security operations.

Zeteo’s weekly round-up described Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank through a rights-based lens, stating that “Israel Starves a Prominent Journalist in Prison, Commits 'Piracy' at Sea, and Kills More Palestinians in Gaza,” and it asserted that “Israel continues its genocidal war and apartheid policies.”

Zeteo also referenced a Reuters-linked death toll, saying that “Israel Kills 4 Across Gaza” and that “The death toll in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire began more than six months ago has topped 820.”

In contrast, The Jerusalem Post described an Israeli security operation in Nablus, saying the IDF, Israel Police, and Border Police conducted a joint operation overnight on Thursday night, raiding an illegal weapons manufacturing site in Nablus, seizing equipment, and arresting one individual.

The Jerusalem Post said Israeli forces found a lathe used to make weapons and “a slew of illegal firearms, including an M16 rifle, a pistol, and a shotgun,” along with combat vests, a helmet, and a dagger.

Meanwhile, Palestine Chronicle included a personal statement shared in the report’s body, quoting: “I know that war will return, and you will remain silent, letting us die because of your silence. 💔pic.twitter.com/ThXGCcNSvq — Mahmoud🇵🇸 (@AbwYl10389)May 2, 2026.”

The same Palestine Chronicle report also described the detention of journalist Islam Amarna and Fayez Muhammad Rabay’a in Bethlehem, tying the West Bank raids to the broader Gaza ceasefire context.

As the fighting and raids continued, the sources described ongoing campaigns and the persistence of restrictions and arrests rather than a clear end point.

“The occupied West Bank was the theater, from Sunday night into Monday and at dawn on Monday, of a wide-scale Israeli military raid campaign marked by mass arrests, assaults on civilians, and the systematic destruction of Palestinian property”

Palestine Chronicle said Israeli occupation forces continued “large-scale raids and arrest operations across the occupied West Bank on Sunday,” listing arrests in Arana and Qabatiya and describing raids that included converting houses into military barracks in Saida north of Tulkarm.

The Jerusalem Post

It also said Israeli troops stormed the Dheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem and detained journalist Islam Amarna and Fayez Muhammad Rabay’a, while QNN noted that Rabay’a had recently been shot while attempting to reach his workplace in occupied Jerusalem.

TRT عربي reported that Israeli forces closed checkpoints north of Ramallah and fired tear gas, causing a severe traffic jam, and it added that the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club said the Israeli army detained around 140 Palestinians during Monday and Tuesday.

Middle East Monitor described a continuing pattern of daily attacks, saying the occupiers continued their daily attacks on Duma southeast of Nablus and that Palestinians faced increasing attacks aimed at pressuring residents to leave their land for settlement expansion.

It also provided a longer-running context, stating that since October 2023, attacks by the Israeli army and occupiers in the West Bank have killed at least 1,155 Palestinians, injured about 11,750 others, and arrested nearly 22,000 people, according to official Palestinian figures.

In parallel, Zeteo’s round-up said “Saturday, April 25” marked “First Elections Held in Gaza Since 2006,” while also stating that people in Deir Al-Balah were “busy with surviving,” and it framed the week as continuing violence despite “so-called “ceasefires” in place.”
