Tensions are high in the Tumus Ayya plain, north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, as Israeli occupation forces and settler militias are trying to stop local Palestinian farmers from working and being present in their own lands.

Israeli settler colonizers uprooted around 1000 olive trees in the Turmus Ayya plain north of Ramallah. The uprooting of olive trees is a repeated pattern of settler attacks, where hundreds of trees are destroyed daily across various areas of the West Bank.
These acts cut off Palestinian families’ livelihoods and are often accompanied by assaults on farmers and theft of property, with the aim of forcing Palestinians into displacement.
Gaza and the West Bank: Dispatches from Catastrophe (I)

In Nov.-Dec.2025, Jewish Currents reached out to some two dozen Palestinians from #Gaza and the #WestBank — all of whom the magazine had previously interviewed after October 7 — to ask them how their lives had changed since they last shared their stories.
The resulting testimonies are difficult to read. They show the effects of years of industrialized, live-broadcast massacres and colonization, particularly in Gaza, where more than 10% of the population is estimated to have been killed or injured in the last two years.
“What all the voices share is disillusionment: with the political parties #Hamas and #Fatah; with supposed allies like #Arab countries; with international systems such as the #UN; and with notions of international law and justice writ large..."
At the end of 2025, Jewish Currents reached out to about two dozen Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank — all of whom the magazine had previously interviewed after the Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 — to ask them how their lives had changed since they last shared their stories. “The resulting testimonies are difficult to read,” says the introduction to these stories. “They show the effects of years of industrialized, live-broadcast massacres and colonization, particularly in Gaza, where more than 10% of the population is estimated to have been killed or injured in the last two years." This is the first of two parts.
WEST BANK, The Occupied Palestinian Territory –“Even during labour, I was afraid. I could hear sirens and kept thinking about my children,” said Haneen*, from the village of Ras Tira in the occupied West Bank.“Life here is not
“Go inside, he will kill you”
A 14-year-old Palestinian student, Aws al-Naasan, was shot in the head and killed outside his school in al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, after an Israeli reservist took position on a nearby hillside and opened fire toward the school.
The Guardian reports testimonies from teachers and students describing scenes of terror, with children hiding in stairwells as staff rushed to secure the building.
Teachers shouted warnings “go inside, he will kill you”, as gunfire rang out. Aws collapsed instantly, and his classmates carried his bleeding body along the school wall, leaving a trail of blood, but he died before reaching medical care. Minutes later, the same attacker shot and killed 36-year-old Jihad Abu Naim, whose wife is pregnant with their first child.
The killings unfolded amid a surge in Israeli settler violence targeting schools and students across the occupied West Bank. Residents say al-Mughayyir has long been subjected to repeated attacks, with Aws already having lost his father in a previous settler shooting.
After the latest killings, classes were suspended as families weighed sending children back to school against fears for their lives. “We want to go back, but our families are afraid,” one student said.
Israeli settlers release their livestock near Palestinian homes in the village of Sousia, southern Hebron, occupied West Bank.
