Israeli forces killed at least one Palestinian in Gaza and recovered another body from rubble on 10 August, according to Al Jazeera English, as Prime Minister Netanyahu formally rejected a US-backed plan to end the war. Across the West Bank, Israeli forces raided villages, demolished homes, seized land, and converted a Palestinian house into a military barracks, while the UN Security Council scheduled a session specifically on conditions in the occupied West Bank, WAFA reported.
Gaza
The Gaza Health Ministry reported that hospitals received the bodies of two Palestinians on 10 August — one killed by Israeli forces and another recovered from the rubble of a prior strike — as Netanyahu rejected the Trump administration’s 15-point plan to end the war, Al Jazeera English reported. Al Jazeera published an analysis warning that Netanyahu’s effective “coup” against the Gaza plan risks perpetuating endless war, examining what comes next as Netanyahu demands what he calls “genuine” Hamas disarmament before considering any withdrawal from Gaza.
Humanitarian conditions remain catastrophic. OCHA reported that the 2026 Flash Appeal for the occupied Palestinian territory requires $4.1 billion, with only 37.5% covered and $2.5 billion in needs unmet, according to its Flash Appeal overview. WAFA reported that the Palestinian Cabinet warned of escalating Israeli aggression in Gaza and stated that all efforts were underway to improve Gaza’s humanitarian situation, as of 5 August. The Palestinian Red Crescent opened a North Field Hospital in Gaza, WAFA reported on 10 August. Children in Gaza are still suffering the effects of the 2025 famine, with a new food emergency now emerging, Al Jazeera reported.
10 August also marked one year since Israeli forces killed Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif. Gaza held commemorations for al-Sharif and fellow journalist Mohammed Qraiqea, Al Jazeera reported. The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate documented 108 attacks against Palestinian journalists in July alone, with more than 270 journalists killed in Gaza since October 2023, according to Al Jazeera.
West Bank
Israeli forces raided the village of Tell ahead of the demolition of the home of a Palestinian killed by Israeli gunfire, WAFA reported. Israeli forces subsequently demolished the home of a slain Palestinian in Nablus, WAFA reported on 11 August. A military incursion near Nablus left six Palestinians injured, according to WAFA. Israeli forces also converted a home in al-Jarushiya in Tulkarm into a military barracks, WAFA reported, and destroyed water pipelines southeast of Tubas, WAFA reported.
Israeli settlers carried out multiple attacks: colonists raided three villages in Nablus, WAFA reported; colonists burned agricultural land in Jiljilyya village north of Ramallah, WAFA reported; and colonists besieged a Palestinian family’s house near Nablus for a second consecutive day, WAFA reported. Israeli forces shot at Palestinian civilians, WAFA reported on 10 August. Occupation authorities also seized land in Qalqiliya under the pretext of military purposes, WAFA reported, and advanced efforts to turn outposts around Sinjil into permanent colonial settlements, WAFA reported. A girl died from injuries she sustained from Israeli fire, WAFA reported on 10 August.
OCHA’s running data shows that so far in 2026, 935 structures have been demolished and 1,256 Palestinians displaced across the West Bank, according to OCHA’s demolition tracker. Palestinians in Ramallah-area refugee camps say escalating Israeli raids and official statements promising a massive military operation against refugee camps have left them feeling it is not a question of whether their turn will come, but when, Mondoweiss reported.
Jerusalem
The Jerusalem Governorate reported an Israeli plan to establish a new colonial settlement at the entrance to the Umm Tuba neighbourhood, WAFA reported on 11 August. Israel’s closure of the Christian village of Taybeh continued to restrict its inhabitants, WAFA reported on 10 August. UN agencies and NGOs earlier decried recurrent Israeli incursions into the Kalandia Training Centre in occupied East Jerusalem, in a joint statement published by OCHA on 28 July, reflecting an ongoing pattern of pressure on Palestinian institutions in the city.
Politics
The UN Security Council is set to hold a dedicated session on the occupied West Bank, WAFA reported on 11 August. Netanyahu’s rejection of the US-backed 15-point Gaza plan — demanding what he called “genuine” Hamas disarmament before any Israeli withdrawal — has left Palestinians saying there is “no clear path” to peace, Al Jazeera reported. Israel also confirmed the death of Palestinian detainee Ihab Diab nearly two years after the fact; his family disputes Israeli claims of health issues and alleges torture, Al Jazeera reported. The secretary of the Fatah Movement’s regional branch in Jenin was sentenced to 42 months in an Israeli prison, WAFA reported. UN experts condemned the escalation in attacks against Palestinians, WAFA reported on 10 August.
