Israeli forces continued strikes across Gaza on 27–28 June 2026, killing Palestinians in areas designated as safe zones, while the occupied West Bank saw persistent settler attacks, detentions, and raids. OCHA’s 26 June Humanitarian Situation Report documented an accelerating humanitarian crisis across the occupied Palestinian territory, with its 24 June Gaza impact snapshot detailing the ongoing toll of the conflict. A separate UN warning reported by WAFA stated that Israel’s war on Gaza has left tens of thousands with hearing impairments.
Gaza
An Israeli drone strike killed a brother and sister in a Gaza “safe zone” on 27 June, according to Al Jazeera. A separate WAFA report recorded one Palestinian killed and several injured in an Israeli drone strike north of Gaza. Earlier, on 24 June, Al Jazeera reported that health officials at Nasser Medical Complex confirmed a 12-year-old child was killed in al-Mawasi, Gaza. WAFA also reported several Palestinians injured in a separate Israeli drone strike.
Ceasefire negotiations remain active but stalled. Al Jazeera reported exclusively that talks are being tested by US demands for the handover of tunnel maps and the surrender of family-held weapons. Humanitarian conditions remain catastrophic: OCHA’s 2026 Flash Appeal requires $4.1 billion, with only 24.8% covered and $3.1 billion unmet, according to OCHA. The UN Relief Chief told the Security Council on 18 June that Gaza civilians cannot wait for diplomacy.
Electronic Intifada reported that Israel destroyed 16 CT scanners across the Gaza Strip during its ongoing operations, leaving northern Gaza with only two CT scanners for roughly one million people. With schools destroyed, Al Jazeera documented children attempting to sit exams while living in tents and displaced from their homes.
West Bank
Displacement in the West Bank has now surpassed 3,000 Palestinians in 2026, with most cases linked to settler violence, according to OCHA. The OCHA West Bank Monthly Snapshot for May 2026 recorded 749 structures demolished and 1,005 Palestinians displaced so far in 2026. Palestinian deaths attributed to Israeli forces or settlers reached 45 in 2026 (until 5 May), with 1,089 injuries recorded, per OCHA casualty data.
Israeli settlers attacked a Bedouin community near Khan al-Ahmar on 27 June, WAFA reported, while settlers separately attacked a Bedouin community east of Jericho. A Palestinian teenager was injured in a settler attack, and Israeli colonists grazed sheep on Palestinian agricultural land. Israeli forces also closed the entrances to several towns on 27 June. On 28 June, WAFA reported one Palestinian injured and two others detained during an Israeli military incursion.
Israeli forces raided Aboud village and seized surveillance equipment, and separately detained a Palestinian during a raid on 27 June. A Palestinian man was injured as Israeli forces raided his area, and occupation forces fired tear gas into a home in al-Mughayyir, causing suffocation cases. Israeli forces also detained a former Palestinian detainee after surrounding his home north of Hebron. Al Jazeera reported that Israeli prosecutors charged six settlers following an attack on a West Bank mosque. Video footage published by Al Jazeera showed Israeli settlers attempting to seize a house under construction in the occupied West Bank.
Jerusalem
Today’s available sources contain no specific reports of detentions, evictions, or Al-Aqsa restrictions in Jerusalem on 28 June 2026. This absence reflects a gap in today’s source material rather than an absence of activity; OCHA has noted that across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, military operations, movement restrictions, demolitions, and settler violence have been ongoing throughout June 2026. A +972 Magazine analysis noted that a movement seeking Jewish sovereignty over Al-Aqsa is increasingly going mainstream within Israeli right-wing politics.
Regional
A framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel was signed in Washington, WAFA reported on 26 June. President Abbas sent letters to world leaders warning of Israeli measures, and separately discussed bilateral ties and the latest developments with the Cypriot president. The Vietnamese president reaffirmed Hanoi’s unwavering support for Palestine on 25 June.
Politics
President Abbas congratulated Nabil Fahmy on his appointment as Arab League secretary-general. Palestinian prisoner institutions reported that thousands of detainees remain held in Israeli custody. The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society said two Palestinians were killed in Israeli detention. +972 Magazine reported that fourteen Gazan physicians remain in Israeli prisons without charge, where they say they have been singled out for particularly severe abuse. Separately, +972 reported on hundreds of Bedouin left homeless as Israel ramped up demolitions in the Naqab, with residents of two Palestinian villages forced to dismantle their own homes.
