Israeli forces launched overnight airstrikes across Gaza, killing at least two Palestinians and injuring others, according to WAFA. Separately, Israeli forces destroyed a home in al-Maghazi, in central Gaza, on the morning of 12 June. In the West Bank, settlers attacked homes and vehicles in Yasuf village, and the Jerusalem Governorate issued a warning over an Israeli plan targeting UNRWA facilities.

Gaza
Israeli airstrikes killed two Palestinians and wounded others across Gaza, WAFA reported on 11 June. Israeli strikes also destroyed a home in al-Maghazi in central Gaza on 12 June. Al Jazeera broadcast footage of the overnight strikes.
On 11 June, Al Jazeera reported that Mohammad Abu Giab, a 15-year-old fisherman from Gaza, was shot dead by Israeli forces off the coast of Deir el-Balah. Al Jazeera also reported that detained Gaza paediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safia showed signs of torture, according to his family, as he appeared by video link in an Israeli court; his lawyer and family are demanding his release and say they fear for his life.
Humanitarian conditions in Gaza remain severe. OCHA’s 5 June humanitarian situation report documents ongoing dire living conditions, with most people displaced and exposed to continued health and environmental risks. OCHA also reported that health risks posed by pests and rodents in Gaza remain high as restrictions persist on access to landfills and the import of necessary materials. The 2026 Flash Appeal for the occupied Palestinian territory has a funding gap of $3.5 billion, with only 13.9% of the $4.1 billion requirement covered, according to OCHA.
Mondoweiss reported that 96 percent of Gaza’s farmland has been destroyed, with farmers attempting to return to fields buried in rubble and unexploded ordnance while Israel’s blockade continues to obstruct recovery.
West Bank
Settlers attacked homes and vehicles in Yasuf village in the central West Bank on 12 June, WAFA reported. On 11 June, armed settlers attacked farmers and stole agricultural equipment. Israeli forces also opened fire on a vehicle near Awa and demolished structures and issued new demolition orders.
Israeli occupation forces detained two Palestinians in the West Bank on the morning of 12 June. OCHA data records 684 structures demolished and 952 Palestinians displaced so far in 2026, with 45 Palestinian deaths and 1,089 injuries in the West Bank up to 5 May 2026 — caused by Israeli forces or settlers — according to OCHA casualty tracking.
Amnesty International and Oxfam this week released reports documenting a rise in state-backed Israeli settler violence, Al Jazeera reported. Al Jazeera also reported that Amnesty International characterised Israeli settler attacks and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank as Israeli state policy, saying Israel uses war crimes to accelerate its annexation agenda and settlement expansion. Al Jazeera further reported that the Israeli government is considering major funding to expand a West Bank settlement, according to an NGO.
Mondoweiss reported that Israeli soldiers shot and killed Sam Abu Haikal, a seven-month-old baby, in Hebron while he was riding in his parents’ car. His mother was left in intensive care and his father, wounded in the hand, buried him alone the following morning. Al Jazeera also reported the killing, noting an Israeli soldier fired at the Palestinian family’s car, fatally shooting the infant in the head.
Jerusalem
The Jerusalem Governorate issued a warning on 11 June over an Israeli plan targeting UNRWA vocational training facilities, WAFA reported. Israeli occupation forces detained two Palestinians in Jerusalem on 12 June. OCHA has previously noted that Palestinians in East Jerusalem are frequently issued demolition orders for structures built without permits that are rarely granted — part of a longstanding coercive pattern documented by OCHA. The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem also warned of worsening conditions in the region on 11 June.

The UK, Australia, and Canada launched a $4 million peace fund for the Israel-Palestine conflict, which Al Jazeera reported will provide humanitarian support to Palestinians, crack down on Israeli settlers, and support a Gaza peace plan. Mondoweiss reported that the U.S. and Israeli campaign against the International Criminal Court is intensifying, with the suspension of ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan described as part of coordinated efforts to prevent accountability for Israeli actions.
