Israeli military operations continued across Gaza and the West Bank on 10 June 2026. WAFA reported that Gaza’s death toll has risen to 72,988 amid ongoing attacks. The Palestinian Cabinet urged international action on what it described as Israeli violations of the Gaza ceasefire, while six allied governments moved to impose new sanctions on networks enabling settler violence in the occupied West Bank.
Gaza
Gaza’s cumulative death toll reached 72,988, according to WAFA. Al Jazeera reported that Israeli forces killed at least 14 people in Gaza on 8 June in strikes across Khan Younis, Gaza City, and Deir el-Balah. On 7 June, Israeli attacks killed 13 more people near Khan Younis, in Gaza City, and Deir el-Balah as Hamas and other groups met mediators in Cairo for renewed ceasefire talks.
The Palestinian Education Ministry reported that more than 21,000 students and educational staff have been killed since the start of the war. The Israeli navy detained nine fishermen off the coast of Gaza, according to WAFA. The Palestinian Health Minister announced that 2,000 blood units had been dispatched to Gaza as part of the « Our Blood is One » campaign. Al Jazeera reported that Israel is preventing more than 16,500 Palestinians from accessing medical treatment. The UN Secretary-General called for the immediate reopening of Gaza, according to WAFA.
Humanitarian conditions remain dire. OCHA’s Humanitarian Situation Report of 5 June 2026 documented the ongoing crisis, and the 2026 Flash Appeal — requiring $4.1 billion — remains only 13.9% funded, leaving $3.5 billion unmet. OCHA noted that health risks posed by pests and rodents in Gaza remain high as restrictions persist on access to landfills and on the import of necessary supplies. Gaza farmers face near-total agricultural destruction, with Mondoweiss reporting that 96 percent of Gaza’s farmland has been destroyed, and Israel’s blockade is making recovery nearly impossible.
West Bank
Israeli forces raided several villages and towns in Jenin on the morning of 10 June, detaining local residents, according to WAFA. Forces also raided towns in the Hebron area and raided a village west of Bethlehem. Israeli forces converted a home into a military outpost and demolished two structures, while Israeli authorities demolished a home in a West Bank town. Demolition notices were delivered to additional Palestinian structures.
Settler violence continued across the West Bank. Colonists attacked and injured a Palestinian in the northern West Bank. Large tracts of land caught fire due to Israeli army bombardment. Israeli colonists attacked a Palestinian’s home west of Ramallah and vandalized property in al-Tuwani. Colonists also destroyed a drinking water network, and Israeli bulldozers destroyed water networks in the eastern West Bank. An Israeli soldier detained a Palestinian for defending himself against a settler attack. Occupation forces attacked a protest against settler violence.
OCHA’s West Bank data shows 659 structures demolished and 934 Palestinians displaced so far in 2026, with incidents updated within 48 hours. Palestinian deaths in the West Bank stand at 45 for 2026 and 1,089 injuries, according to OCHA figures current through 5 May 2026. Mondoweiss reported that seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers while riding in his parents’ car through Hebron; his mother was left in intensive care and his wounded father buried him alone. Al Jazeera also reported on the family’s grief.
Jerusalem
Dozens of Israeli colonists stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, according to WAFA. This follows an established pattern: OCHA has noted that Palestinians in East Jerusalem are routinely issued demolition orders for structures built without rarely granted permits. No additional Jerusalem-specific events with citable source URLs were available in today’s sources.
Regional
Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported that the toll from Israeli attacks on the country since March 2 has reached 3,666 dead, according to Al Jazeera’s live updates. WAFA reported that eight Lebanese people were killed in an Israeli strike on southern Lebanon.
Politics
Six countries — Australia, Canada, France, Norway, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand — imposed new sanctions on networks enabling settler violence in the occupied West Bank, according to Al Jazeera. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry welcomed the sanctions. WAFA reported the details of the joint sanctions action, and France separately imposed new sanctions on colonists and related entities.
A UN Commission found that Israeli authorities are directly involved in colonist attacks against Palestinians. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the Israeli occupation’s rejection of a petition against a law on the registration of international non-governmental organizations. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry also condemned a Knesset bill approving the expansion of deductions. U.S. rights groups launched a campaign pressuring Congress over West Bank violence. Mondoweiss reported that FIFA is supporting the Israeli occupation by legitimizing 10 clubs that play in illegal West Bank settlements, despite earlier promises to investigate.
