Since Friday, 24/7/2026, the occupation forces have imposed a military siege on various areas of the northern West Bank. This siege is enforced through a significant tightening of procedures at fixed and mobile military checkpoints, on the one hand, and continuous raids on villages and cities, paralyzing the movement of residents within them, on the other. The city of Nablus, in particular, has faced a military grip since the bloody events resulting from the settlers' attack on the village of Tell, southwest of the city, on Friday, 24/7/2026. This grip is exacerbating the suffering of the people in those areas. The measures began within hours of the Tell massacre, with checkpoints, raids, and arrests initially concentrated in the Nablus area. However, the scope of the operations quickly expanded to include a campaign in villages along the Green Line, and the demolition of homes and structures in various areas.

A frenzied campaign and organized brutal crimes are being carried out by settler gangs under the protection of the occupation forces against the people of the blessed land. They kill, burn homes and property, displace people from their homes and seize them, bulldoze their lands, uproot trees and crops, establish settlement outposts on these lands, steal or kill livestock, burn mosques and write racist slogans on their walls, desecrate the Masra, site of our Prophet’s Night Journey (saw), and hold their prayers, dance and sing in its courtyards, in steps supported by Netanyahu’s extreme right-wing government, with the aim of displacing the people of the blessed land. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), more than 1330 incidents involving settlers in the West Bank have been documented since the beginning of 2026. According to the office’s data, 77 Palestinians, including 18 children, have been martyred since the beginning of this year until last Saturday by the occupation forces or settlers. Since last Thursday, at least 8 Palestinians, including a child, have been martyred. The OCHA office said that homes, mosques, trees and agricultural facilities were burned or vandalized, some of which were completely destroyed, while at least 10 families were forced to flee due to the latest wave of violence. This government gives free rein to settlers to commit their crimes, and it, for its part, is enacting racist and unjust laws and committing brutal massacres against the people of the blessed land in the West Bank, Gaza and Al Quds; including killing, imprisonment, confiscation of lands, erecting barriers and gates and demolishing homes and facilities. According to the Palestinian Colonization & Wall Resistance Commission, in a report published on July 9th, the Jewish entity carried out 341 demolition operations during the first half of this year, resulting in the destruction of 740 Palestinian facilities, and 923 Palestinians were affected. It also issued 254 new demolition notices under the pretext of building without a permit (Al Jazeera Net).

Collective punishments, brutal crimes, and attacks have tightened the noose around the people of the blessed land, inflicting upon them countless forms of suffering and torment. Hundreds of families have been left homeless after their houses were demolished, while others have lost their source of income after their shops, industrial and commercial facilities were destroyed, their agricultural lands were seized, or their crops were burned. Many children have been prevented from attending school, particularly in the Masafer Yatta and Al Aghwar (Jordan Valley areas). People now live in a large prison under the shadow of checkpoints and barriers, not to mention the cutting off the roads of cities and villages and the humiliation and suffering endured at these checkpoints and gates. Amid the ongoing siege and military operation in the northern West Bank, especially in and around Nablus. Ghassan Hamdan, the director of medical relief in Nablus Governorate, said, "The testimonies of paramedics and their companions have become terrifying." He explained that the occupation soldiers no longer merely delay ambulances for a few minutes, as was the case previously, but now detain them for hours, accompanied by insults, searches, and forcing patients, including pregnant women, to get out of ambulances. He also mentioned the occasional confiscation of vehicle keys, emphasizing that these practices, "We did not witness in this form even in the first months after October 7th, 2023”.

The crisis is not limited to pregnant women. Hamdan confirms that military restrictions have disrupted access to medical care for dozens of patients, including kidney dialysis patients and emergency cases. According to media reports, five pregnant women from the Nablus governorate were forced to give birth under unusual circumstances due to military checkpoints and the imposed siege. One of these women gave birth inside a vehicle, while the others delivered in ambulances or inadequate health centers because the occupation forces refused them passage through the military checkpoints surrounding Nablus. Meanwhile, a woman from the town of Qaryut, south of Nablus, lost her fetus after being detained by the Israeli army at the Awarta military checkpoint south of the city, which prevented an ambulance from reaching her. The woman was six months pregnant and suffering from severe bleeding. Despite her critical condition, she was subjected to a thorough search. The occupation forces allowed the ambulance to pass after more than half an hour, at which point doctors were able to save the woman upon her arrival at the hospital. However, it was too late to save the fetus, which died three months before birth.

O Muslim Ummah: The Jews have become exceedingly powerful, and they are committing massacres and heinous crimes against the people of the blessed land in the West Bank, Gaza, and Al-Quds, right before your eyes and ears, in sound and image. They are under siege and strangled, and their eyes grew wild ˹in horror˺ and your hearts jumped into your throats because of these crimes. How long will you remain silent and letting them down?! Are you waiting for the Masra, site of your Prophet's Night Journey (saw), to be demolished and replaced with their alleged temple?! Are you waiting for the people of the blessed land to be wiped out completely?! Or are you waiting for the Jews to succeed in implementing their plan to displace them?!

O Lord, help the people of Palestine. O Lord, provide us with supporters like the supporters of the Messenger of Allah (saw), through whom the Deen will be strengthened, the countries will be liberated, and the oppressed will be given victory. O Allah, we call upon You with the supplication of the master of the Ansar, Saad bin Muadh: “O Allah, do not let me die until my eyes are gladdened by Your punishment on Banu Qurayza.” O Allah, do not let us die until our eyes are gladdened by Your punishment on the descendants of Banu Qurayza, their supporters, and their masters”.
