Israel’s Aggression Against Occupied Palestine: November 2025

In November, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) expanded the area under their control along the "Yellow Line" into residential neighborhoods of eastern Gaza City, including parts of Shuja'iyya and Tuffah, displacing civilians from areas that had been treated as relatively "safer" under the Gaza ceasefire agreement.​ Human rights and monitoring groups, as well as UN experts, describe these actions as violations of the Gaza ceasefire and of assurances that civilians would be protected in the designated "red zone." Satellite imagery indicates that more than 58% of the Gaza Strip remains under Israeli occupation control, with 40 active military positions still operating outside the "Yellow Line." Amid Israel’s ongoing policy of starvation and the prevention of all aid entering the Gaza Strip, the World Food Programme (WFP) confirmed that since the ceasefire took effect on 11 October, delivering assistance to northern Gaza has remained challenging due to the closure of border crossings in the area. Only two border crossings are currently operational for entry into Gaza, significantly limiting aid delivery and hindering efforts to achieve food security and meet the needs of Palestinians in Gaza.

In the occupied West Bank, the Israeli occupation continues to impose arbitrary measures against the Palestinian people, notably through ongoing day and night raids into various cities, refugee camps, and villages, especially in the governorates of Jenin, Tulkarem, Nablus, Tubas, Ramallah, and Jerusalem. During November, the occupation persisted in its violations of Palestinian national and human rights through various systematic policies, including killings, arrests, colonial settlement expansion, demolitions of Palestinian homes, and supporting settlers’ terror attacks against Palestinians and their properties. Additionally, the Israeli Knesset advanced three draconian bills that further entrench Israel’s apartheid system: one authorizing the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners and detainees; one granting sweeping powers to silence and shut down foreign media without court approval; and one allowing the arrest of Palestinian citizens of Israel for "alleged online incitement" without judicial oversight.
