#GazaUnderAttack

4 houses in the town of Beit Kahil, near Hebron, have been issued with demolition orders which will become effective later today. 5 families will be made homeless and the land will be confiscated by the state. The orders have been issued in Hebrew only and the families are powerless to resist.

The property belongs to the relations of a number of Palestinians held in prison awaiting trial. Despite these individuals not having been convicted by a court, the Israeli Occupation Forces are proceeding to punitively target their family members and appropriate their land.

ISM activist Philippa Laburnum speaks with The Canary about what she witnessed as a volunteer in Al Khalil (Hebron), Palestine.

Yesterday marked the 30th anniversary of the Berlin Wall. In the Palestinian city of Tulkarm, which sits on North Eastern border of the West Bank, Palestinians joined with internationals for a symbolic protest against the illegal Israeli apartheid wall. The wall exists in contravention of international law, appropriates Palestinian land, and cuts Palestinians off from their own land, their communities, and from vital services such as hospitals and schools. The wall must fall. #apartheid #revolution #freepalestine

Shot in the back for obeying Israeli military orders: Israeli forces shoot rubber-coated steel bullet at a unarmed Palestinian man at Za'ayyen checkpoint in occupied East Jerusalem, as he obeys their specific orders to walk away, with his hands raised in the air.

Gazan journalist Wafa Aludaini writes from Gaza on the 102nd anniversary of the Balfour Declaration and Palestinian refugees' continued protests for the right to return to their homes.

An ISM activist writes about her time volunteering in Hebron (al Khalil) during then Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit, and how his arrival affected the daily lives of Palestinians living there.

Time Magazine's newest piece on the Palestinian olive harvest, the threats they face from Israeli settlers and occupation forces, and the international volunteers who have come to stand with Palestine.

"Palestinian children are constantly exposed to violence as a result of Israeli military law." The UK's Independent takes a closer look at the shooting of 9 year old Abd in Kafr Qaddum.

Woman shot this morning at Ibrahim Mosque, in the restricted military area of Hebron in the Old City. The Israeli army prevented the ambulance from approaching the woman. Checkpoints were closed for one hour. All of the employees of the Mosque were sent home. The woman’s state is still critical. #violence #occupation

"The children were killed by smashing of their skulls with sticks." Today, October 29th, marks the 71st anniversary of the 1948 massacre in Al-Dawayima, where Palestinian villagers were slaughtered by invading Israeli forces. 2 years ago, a letter from an Israeli soldier there that day was finally released and published. (Link below.)

Israeli soldiers fired tear gas twice (the second time with live ammunition) at children going to school this morning after passing the checkpoint Salaymeh in Hebron.

Children shouldn’t be facing such violence and should have the right to go to school with no fear.

Palestinian and international activists entered an illegal settlement, singing and raising the Palestinian flag. Israeli settlers and police responded with mass arrests, tear gas, flash grenades, and stopping ambulances to make arrests. 20 were arrested, including 9 internationals and 7 journalists, now released. One ISM activist has his passport seized by the IOF which has refused to return it.
