Rights group: Over 1,000 Palestinian
children displaced in West Bank
this year
July 25th, 6:59pm
(PressTV)
The world's leading independent organization for children has
revealed in its latest report that more than 1,000 Palestinian
children have been forcibly displaced from their residences
in the occupied West Bank this year.
In a statement released on Saturday, Save the Children described
the figures as “deeply alarming,” noting that the number of
children displaced since January represents roughly half
the total number forced from their homes by settler
violence during the previous three years.
The international organization added that approximately 2,000
Palestinian children were forced to leave their homes from
January 2023 to December 2025. Over 1,000 minors have
already been displaced........ in the initial six months of
2026 alone.
According to Save the Children, the data indicates a notable rise
in the number of attacks perpetrated by illegal Israeli settlers
throughout the occupied West Bank.
The United Nations reports - that settler attacks increased by 45%
in the first half of 2026 in comparison to the corresponding period
last year.
Between January and June of this year, over 1,020 attacks by
settlers were documented, in contrast to 757 such incidents
reported during the first half of 2025.
Humanitarian organizations ----have consistently cautioned
that assaults by Israeli settlers ------ targeting residences,
agricultural areas, livestock & Palestinian communities
---- have escalated in conjunction with the increasing
settlement activities all over the occupied territory.
UN inquiry says Israel’s deliberate killing
of Gaza children amounts to --- genocide
A United Nations commission of inquiry states that Israel
continues to deliberately target and kill Palestinian
children, amounting to genocide in Gaza.
The report additionally cited findings from the UN
Independent International Commission of Inquiry
(COI), which was established by the Human
Rights Council in May 2021.
The commission states that settler violence is systematically
organized and facilitated by the Israeli authorities, creating
an environment of impunity.
According to the inquiry, the Israeli regime and its occupation
forces are directly responsible for the attacks carried out by
settlers, which have caused fatalities, injuries, and the
displacement of Palestinians.
The rise in attacks has resulted in
an increasing number of injuries
among Palestinians.
As per the statistics provided by the UN in the report,
around 569 Palestinians have sustained injuries due
to Israeli settlers, since the start of 2026.
The report contrasts that number with the 832
injuries documented in 2025, 362 in 2024,
and 376 in 2023.
Since October 2023, violence in the occupied West Bank
has escalated significantly, characterized by Israeli
military offensives occurring in tandem with a
rise in attacks by Israeli settlers.
According to the official Palestinian figures cited in the report,
Israeli occupation forces and illegal settlers have killed 1,181
Palestinians in the occupied West Bank - since the onset of
the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
As of July 7th, 2026, nearly 13,000 individuals have
sustained injuries, and around 24,000 Palestinians
---- have been abducted.

‘total surrender’: Iran’s security chief
July 25th, 10:43am
(PressTV)
Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Mohammad-
Bagher Zolghadr says its ongoing strikes against US targets will
continue until the “enemy’s total surrender” and in retaliation
for the massacre of children in Minab and Lamerd.
In a message released on Saturday, Zolghadr said, “Every column of
smoke in the region means that a US military, security, or financial
centre has been targeted.”
He added - that the “continuous and targeted strikes” by Iranian
fighters were “the lashes of the anger of the awakened Iranian
nation upon the back of the system of domination” and would
continue “until the enemy’s total surrender and revenge is
taken for the blood of the oppressed children of Minab
and Lamerd, God willing.”
The illegal US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran,
which began on February 28, enters its fifth month.
On April 8, after 40 days, because of Iran’s retaliatory operations
and control over the Strait of Hormuz, the US and the Israeli
regime were forced to agree to a ceasefire.
Iran determined to defend national interests, security: FM Araghchi
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, says the country remains
firmly committed to defending its national interests and security.
However, the US renewed its onslaught on Iran after violating the
Pakistan-brokered Memorandum of Understanding of June 17 by
attempting unauthorized naval movements through the Strait of
Hormuz, with the Iranian Navy intercepting the vessels ---- to
enforce the agreement.
The US military has conducted air raids across the country for
13 consecutive nights, targeting civilian sites --- including
telecommunication infrastructure, bridges and water
desalination plants, killing 55 people and injuring
645 others.
In response, Iran's Armed Forces have launched retaliatory drone

as death toll rises to 73,317:
Health Ministry
July 25th, 10:12am
(PressTV)
Six Palestinians have been killed and 37 others injured
in Israeli attacks across Gaza over the past 48 hours,
according to the Health Ministry.
The death toll from Israel’s military aggression in the
Gaza Strip, has risen to 73,317, the Ministry said on
Saturday, as Israeli attacks on the strip continued.
The ministry added that, since the ceasefire was
announced on Oct. 10, 2025, 1,191 Palestinians
have been killed and 3,853 others wounded.
It added that the bodies of 803 victims had
also been recovered from beneath rubble
during the same period.
The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas
slammed Israel for continuing its genocidal
war against civilians in Gaza.
In a statement, Hamas said Israel’s extensive airstrikes, the
destruction of residential and industrial buildings in the
Jabalia refugee camp and in the al-Yarmouk and
al-Zaytoun neighbourhoods of Gaza City, as
well as evacuation warnings issued for
several residential areas --- evidenced
a determination to continue the war
despite the ceasefire agreement.
Hamas further noted - that the Israeli regime was escalating
its military aggression, abandoning its commitments under
the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement, and continuing a
campaign of killing and destruction in Gaza
“The war has not stopped for a single day
since the agreement was signed,”
Hamas said.
The Gaza-based resistance movement called on the United States,
as a guarantor of the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement, along with the
agreement’s other guarantor states and mediators, to intervene
against Israel’s continued violations and to compel the regime
to halt its attacks on the Palestinian people.
Israeli attacks kill at least 13 Palestinians
in Gaza ----- including an entire family
In a series of fresh Israeli assaults over the past 24 hours,
at least 13 Palestinians have been killed across the
besieged Gaza Strip, including five members
of the same family.
According to the US-based conflict monitor ACLED, Israeli
airstrikes against Palestinian targets in Gaza rose to
more than 40 in June, the highest monthly total
since the ceasefire.
Many of these strikes targeted civilians near
the dividing lines imposed on the besieged
Strip, killing and injuring..... women
and children.
Since launching its genocidal war on October 7th, 2023,
nearly 90% of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure has been
damaged or destroyed.
Despite the supposed ceasefire, Israel persists with its
genocidal war - openly planning to occupy and control
around 70% of the Gaza Strip, while forcibly confining
the remaining population of nearly two million
Palestinians ---- to just 30% of their land.

Yemen’s Ansarullah: Saudi Arabia
resembles Israel .....in its lying,
and aggression
July 25th, 9:31am
(PressTV)
Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement says Saudi Arabia
has adopted policies and practices similar to those of
the Israeli regime, particularly concerning lying
and aggression.
In a statement released on Saturday, Mohammed Abdul Salam, head
of the Sana’a negotiating delegation and spokesman for Yemen’s
Ansarullah movement, said, “Saudi Arabia resembles Israel in
everything; in lying, arrogance, malice and aggression.”
He described the latest Saudi airstrike on the Sana’a International
Airport as proof that Riyadh remains determined to prevent the
reopening of the country’s main civilian gateway.
He maintained that the attack - reflects Saudi Arabia’s continued
insistence that the Sana’a International Airport should operate
only with the approval of the Saudi king, despite repeated
demands ----------- to lift the restrictions on civilian and
humanitarian flights.
“On the one hand, Riyadh insists on keeping Sana’a Airport closed,
while on the other it claims to be defending Yemen’s sovereignty,”
he said.
Abdul Salam warned that Saudi Arabia’s continued refusal to accept
the realities on the ground would carry serious consequences for
the kingdom’s security and economy, urging Riyadh to abandon
its failed policies.
“The Yemeni people will not give up their rights and will
reclaim them --- by every possible means,” he asserted.
On July 13, Saudi forces struck Sana’a International Airport,
violating a four-year-long ceasefire, and prompting Yemen’s
armed forces to resume retaliatory operations.
In the following days, the Yemeni armed forces targeted
strategic sites in Saudi Arabia, including Abha
International Airport, with the Ansarullah
movement saying the operations were
a direct response to the continued
Saudi military aggression.
On Monday, Ansarullah announced the start of what it
described as a “siege for siege” policy, declaring a
naval blockade against Saudi maritime traffic
through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
The movement said the measure -- was intended to match
the restrictions and military pressure imposed on Yemen,
stressing that its operations would continue until attacks
on the country ...came to an end.
