Israeli forces and settlers carried out a wave of attacks across the occupied Palestinian territory on 13–14 June 2026. Gaza’s death toll neared 73,000, with total casualties — killed and wounded — exceeding 173,230, according to WAFA. In the West Bank, colonists set fires to farmland and vehicles, raided towns, and attacked Palestinian homes, while Israeli forces conducted overnight raids in multiple communities.
Gaza
An Israeli strike on southern Gaza killed two people and injured another on 14 June 2026, according to Palestinian authorities cited by Al Jazeera. The previous day, Israeli attacks killed three more people in Gaza, bringing the total number of deaths since the ceasefire took effect in October 2025 to 983, Al Jazeera reported. A separate Israeli strike on 13 June injured a Palestinian in Gaza, WAFA reported.
Mondoweiss reported that Israel killed 13 people in Gaza in a single day, characterising the pattern as ongoing ceasefire violations that have claimed more than 1,000 lives since the agreement took effect. The OCHA Humanitarian Situation Report of 12 June 2026 and the Reported Impact Snapshot for 10 June 2026 document the ongoing humanitarian emergency in the Strip. OCHA’s 2026 Flash Appeal for the occupied Palestinian territory has a funding requirement of $4.1 billion, of which only 16.1 percent has been covered, leaving $3.4 billion unmet, according to OCHA.
Mondoweiss reported that 96 percent of Gaza’s farmland has been destroyed, with farmers returning to fields buried in rubble and unexploded ordnance, while Israel’s blockade continues to obstruct recovery. Health risks from pests and rodents in Gaza also remain high, as restrictions persist on access to landfills and the import of necessary supplies, according to OCHA.
West Bank
Israeli colonists set fire to farmland and vehicles and damaged homes in the West Bank on 13 June 2026, according to WAFA. Separately, colonists attacked Ein Arik village west of Ramallah, and raided Arraba town south of Jenin, causing damage. Colonists also stole water pipes in Khalayel Al-Louza and attacked the Jerusalem District Electric Company, WAFA reported. A Palestinian house was also attacked by colonists on 13 June.
Israeli forces shot and injured a disabled Palestinian man south of Nablus on 13 June, according to WAFA. A Palestinian man was killed and two others wounded in a separate incident also reported by WAFA on 13 June. On 14 June, Israeli forces detained a Palestinian man during a raid in Saïr and raided Husan village and Beit Sahour near Bethlehem. Suffocation cases were reported as Israeli forces operated in the area on 13 June. Forces also carried out raids in several West Bank towns on 13 June.
OCHA data shows that so far in 2026, 684 structures have been demolished and 952 Palestinians displaced in the West Bank, according to OCHA’s demolition tracker. Palestinian casualties in the West Bank in 2026 stand at 45 killed and 1,089 injured by Israeli forces or settlers through 5 May, per OCHA casualty data. Palestine has sounded the alarm over what it describes as the largest forced displacement wave in the West Bank, WAFA reported on 12 June. Amnesty International and Oxfam also released reports documenting a rise in state-backed Israeli settler violence, Al Jazeera reported.
Jerusalem
Today’s sources carry no specific reports of detentions, evictions, or Al-Aqsa restrictions in Jerusalem on 14 June 2026. However, the broader pattern of settler attacks on Jerusalem-area infrastructure continued: colonists attacked the Jerusalem District Electric Company on 13 June, according to WAFA. The Al Jazeera report on the “Great Israeli Real Estate Event” promoting the sale of land in illegal settlements illustrates the continued commercialisation of Palestinian dispossession in and around Jerusalem.
Politics
Palestinian Vice President Al-Sheikh met with the Egyptian Foreign Minister to discuss developments in the region, according to WAFA. The State of Palestine reiterated its condemnation of attacks targeting UAE infrastructure. Palestine’s UN envoy called for a just and lasting peace based on international law, WAFA reported on 11 June. US lawmakers pressed Israel to allow cancer patients out of Gaza for treatment, WAFA reported on 12 June.
Mondoweiss published analysis warning that the U.S. and Israeli campaign to undermine the International Criminal Court is succeeding, pointing to the suspension of ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan as evidence of coordinated pressure to shield Israel from accountability. Separately, Mondoweiss reported that U.S. lawmakers are pushing to more closely integrate the Israeli and American militaries, a move critics say would give Israel dangerous leverage over U.S. foreign and defense policy. The Palestine football association chief said he was not granted a US visa to attend the World Cup, Al Jazeera reported.
