Israeli forces have killed Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank at the highest rate since 1967, with 54 minors killed in 2025, according to Israeli human rights group B'Tselem. The group also stated that nearly a quarter of all Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank since October 2023 have been minors, with no known accountability for these deaths. In a separate development, a Palestinian man, Majdi Nour Abu Ara, has been confirmed dead by Israeli authorities 18 months after an Israeli drone strike targeted his vehicle. His family was informed of his death through a legal rights group, indicating his fate had been concealed.
Hostilities have also extended to Lebanon, where the Ministry of Public Health reported that Israeli attacks have resulted in at least 4,247 deaths and 12,195 wounded since March 2. These figures highlight ongoing conflict and displacement, prompting calls for international action and accountability. Analysts express concern that a security deal between Israel and Lebanon, which ties Israel's withdrawal to Hezbollah's disarmament, may entrench a stalemate rather than resolve the conflict. This condition is seen as unattainable, potentially allowing Israel to maintain a long-term military presence in southern Lebanon.
In Gaza, journalists are forced to report from tents and shelter centers following the destruction of media offices by Israeli attacks. The conflict has led to a high number of media worker casualties and a significant collapse of journalistic infrastructure. Furthermore, Iranian cyberattacks against Israel have surged, with figures rising from 1,600 in June 2025 to 4,800 in June 2026, according to Yossi Karadi, Director General of Israel's National Cyber Directorate. This increase followed a U.S.-Israeli offensive against Iran. Separately, a Palestinian advocacy group reported an increase in Israeli detentions of students in the West Bank during secondary school examinations, with some students placed in administrative detention.
Mohammed bin Ahmed Al Yamahi, speaker of the Arab Parliament and chairman of the Committee on Palestine, has urged intensified efforts to hold Israeli officials accountable. He called for stronger parliamentary and diplomatic action to counter settlement expansion and ensure international protection for Palestinians.
