An Israeli news report documents worsening anti-Christian hostility in Jerusalem and the West Bank. Clergy and residents report daily spitting, verbal abuse, and vandalism against churches and symbols. A soldier was recently filmed smashing a Jesus statue in Lebanon. Christians say they feel unsafe, with many considering emigration. The article notes declining US evangelical support for Israel due to these incidents. Authorities issue condemnations but critics say enforcement is lacking.

Israel has expanded a blanket ban on Red Cross access to Palestinian captives despite a High Court decision declaring it unlawful.

Israel Prison Service Commissioner Kobi Yaakobi last week imposed new restrictions that significantly limit access for the humanitarian group.

The new regulations prevent them from visiting certain categories of Palestinians under any circumstances.

“Welcome to Hell” is a report on the abuse and inhuman treatment of Palestinians held in Israeli custody since 7 October 2023. B’Tselem collected testimonies from 55 Palestinians held during that time and released, almost all with no charges. Their testimonies reveal the outcomes of the rushed transformation of more than a dozen Israeli prison facilities, military and civilian, into a network of camps dedicated to the abuse of inmates as a matter of policy. Facilities in which every inmate is deliberately subjected to harsh, relentless pain and suffering operate as de-facto torture camps.

The Israel lobby’s attempt to destroy Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign is a disturbing example of how money warps democracy.

On August 25, 2025, Israel bombed the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, then struck the same location minutes later as journalists and rescue teams rushed to help. The attack killed at least 20 people, including Reuters photojournalist Hossam Al-Masri, Al Jazeera's Mohammed Salama, freelancer Mariam Abu Daqah, and several medics and civil defense personnel. The Euro-Med Monitor described it as a "double tap" tactic designed to maximize casualties and silence witnesses. MSF condemned the strikes as "horrendous" .

On Monday, 17 November 2025, after the military uncharacteristically evacuated one outpost out of the roughly 350 outposts Israel has established across the West Bank, settlers, as expected, went on rampages in Palestinian communities.

At around 5:30 or 6:00 P.M., dozens of settlers, most of them masked, raided the village of al-Jaba', west of Bethlehem. The settlers entered the village from the west, advancing on foot from Route 367, which leads west toward the Green Line. During the events, the settlers attacked at least five residential homes. They threw stones at houses and cars, and injured a one-and-a-half-year-old in the face by throwing a stone at the car in which she was arriving at her grandmother’s home.

The settlers smashed house windows with stones and threw Molotov cocktails that caused fires to break out in four homes, which were extinguished by residents. In the yard of one home, settlers set fire to three sofas, a wooden chair, and laundry hanging on a clothesline. They also set fire to five vehicles, three of which were completely burned and two partially damaged, and vandalized three additional vehicles with stones. In addition, settlers damaged security cameras installed on one of the homes and sprayed the graffiti “Regards from the detainees.”

During the attacks on the homes, settlers told residents they must leave their homes and the village and threatened to return and set the houses on fire if they did not. They attempted to break into one home and threatened the family who lives there, saying that if they did not leave, their fate would be the same as that of the Dawabsheh family, whom settlers burned to death in the village of Duma about 10 years ago.

Only at around 9:30 P.M. did Israeli military and police forces arrive at the village and take testimonies from residents.

Israeli forces were filmed chasing a Palestinian child with special needs in the Shu’afat refugee camp, north of Jerusalem, before detaining him and reportedly assaulting him. The incident took place amid ongoing raids and heightened tensions in the camp, where Israeli forces frequently conduct operations that residents say place civilians, including children, at risk.

Shu’afat, the only refugee camp within Jerusalem’s municipal boundaries, has seen repeated incursions, arrests and violent confrontations in recent months.
