In Defense of Life and Breath: Free Khalida Jarrar
On August 12, 2024, Zionist prisoner authorities violently transferred researcher and lecturer at Birzeit University, Khalida Jarrar, into solitary confinement. This occurred after nearly eight months of an unjust imprisonment without charge, where she has been held under illegal administrative detention. In the early morning hours of December 26, 2023, the Israeli settler army invaded Khalida Jarrar’s home and stole her away from her family and her work. Khalida Jarrar is a political leader and a researcher and lecturer. Over the course of her life as a feminist activist and political scholar, the Israeli state has consistently tried to silence her. This most recent solitary confinement is part of the landscape of structural violence against Palestinians and an intensification of its war of elimination of Gaza and all of Palestine.

UN Human Rights Office calls on Israel and on Member States, particularly those with influence, to stop attacks by the Israeli Security Forces, settler violence and forcible transfer of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank
The UN Human Rights Office condemns the Israel Security Force’s (ISF) increasingly military response in the Occupied West Bank in a manner which violates international law and risks further enflaming an already explosive situation. At about 22:30 on 26 August, the Israeli air force launched at least four airstrikes in the Nur Shams Refugee Camp in Tulkarem and killed three Palestinian men and two boys aged 13 and 15. There were no clashes or confrontations taking place at the time, but ISF claimed that the airstrikes they had targeted an “operations room,”. According to information gathered from multiple sources, three of the fatalities, including the two boys, were killed while they were passing by the targeted house, which was located in one of the small and crammed alleyways in the camp.
