Israel Gaza ceasefire violations 

Israeli forces continue to violate the Gaza ceasefire agreement nearly two months after its conclusion, killing and injuring more civilians across the war-ravaged territory. According to local sources, two civilians, including a child, were killed, and at least 15 others injured after Israeli artillery fire targeted a house in the al-Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City. Two more civilians, including a child, were killed and over 20 others, mostly women and children, injured in artillery shelling of Al-Sanafour area and Al-Daraj school, east of Gaza City. The school was used as a shelter for displaced people. Gaza’s health ministry said the territory’s hospitals received five bodies on Tuesday, increasing the number of Palestinian civilians killed since the enforcement of the truce to about 360. Among those killed was a Palestinian photojournalist, who lost his life in a drone strike on Khan Yunis, in southern Gaza. Another journalist was wounded in the same attack. Since October 2023, the Israeli genocide has claimed the lives of over 70,100 Palestinians, leaving nearly 171,000 others injured.

Israel West Bank crimes 

A Palestinian prisoners’ rights organization says Israeli forces have greatly intensified their crackdown on Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank since the Gaza genocide started. According to the Palestinian Prisoners' Society, about 21,000 Palestinians have been abducted by Israeli forces since October 2023. The society described Israel’s abductions in the West Bank as “the largest in decades.” It noted that abductions have involved serious crimes such as extrajudicial killing of Palestinian civilians. The society said the regime also demolishes the homes of Palestinian prisoners, as part of its collective punishment policy against the Palestinian people. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continued their violent raids across the occupied territory. On Tuesday, they raided the home and mourning house of a 17-year-old Palestinian youth who was killed earlier in al-Khalil. Separately, a young Palestinian man was injured by the regime’s forces’ in the town of Beit Hanina, north of the occupied city of al-Quds. Local sources said Israeli forces chased several workers near the so-called separation wall and opened fire on them, injuring one worker.

Iran nuclear program 

Iran, Russia and China have formally informed the UN Security Council that all provisions of Resolution 2231, which endorsed the 2015 nuclear agreement, have ended in October 2025. They emphasized that triggering of the resolution’s so-called snapback mechanism by Western states is, therefore, devoid of any legal basis. The three countries made the comments in a joint letter to the UN chief and the Security Council's president. They stressed that the snapback mechanism cannot be applied without completing the dispute resolution mechanism embedded in the nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. They argued that the United States’ 2018 withdrawal from the deal fundamentally altered the mechanism. Also, the European Troika’s unilateral restrictions against Iran and failure to meet their commitments have invalidated their claims about Iran's non-compliance. Reaffirming that all provisions of Resolution 2231 have expired on October 18; Iran, Russia and China said the Security Council must close Iran’s nuclear file. The UN secretary general’s report on Resolution 2231 is set to be presented on December 13.
