After 35 years of defending Palestinian children's rights, we are not able to overcome operational challenges resulting from Israel's targeted criminalization of Palestinian human rights organizations.

The major offensive that Israel launched on Lebanon on Wednesday hit previously untouched districts of Beirut and attempted to separate the Lebanese front from the ceasefire agreed between the United States and Iran.

"Those attending should be aware that showing support for a proscribed organisation is an offence under the Terrorism Act, and we will not hesitate to act where the law is broken," said commander Claire Smart.

Human rights groups, UN investigators, and Israeli legal organizations say torture and sexual violence of Palestinian detainees is part of a wider system of repression.

The Israeli military and police said in a joint statement that security forces opened fire during an operation after perceiving the vehicle as 'an immediate threat.' Authorities said the car accelerated toward the forces, prompting the gunfire that killed the four people inside the vehicle.

Dozens of Palestinian prisoners have died in Israeli prisons over the past two and a half years, some during torture while others as a result of medical neglect by prison authorities, rights groups say. Now, Israel is making plans for the execution of possibly hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held on charges of fatal attacks against Israelis, according to an Israeli media report, under what legal experts have called racist legislation that has rattled the families of thousands of Palestinians in Israeli jails.

Any governance structure that does not take into account the Palestinian national aspirations is doomed to failure. Last week, just as Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip intensified, United States presidential envoy Steven Witkoff announced on social media that the ceasefire is entering its second stage. In the following days, the administration of US President Donald Trump unveiled the makeup of a foreign executive committee and a peace board that will oversee the provisional administration of Gaza composed of Palestinian technocrats.

At least one of the group knew a crime was being committed and intervened, not to stop the torture but to prevent its documentation. Al-Saei said he heard the man warning others don't take a photo, don't take a photo as they attacked. He bled from his rectum for more than three weeks after the assault, which happened soon after he was detained in February 2024.
