Israeli military maps have failed to reflect the true extent of the country’s territorial control since the war on Gaza began on October 7, 2023. A new probe by Al Jazeera’s open-source investigation unit reveals that Israeli forces have established a de facto military footprint across the Gaza Strip, southern Lebanon, and southern Syria covering approximately 1,000sq km (386 sq miles), a size larger than the whole of New York City.

This newly controlled territory amounts to roughly five percent of Israel’s total landmass prior to October 2023, which includes the occupied Palestinian territories and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

Colonial settlers and occupation forces stormed a village in Ain al-Duyuk, Jordan Valley

Colonial settlers and occupation forces stormed a village in Ain al-Duyuk, Jordan Valley, seven times in one month, in a continued effort to displace Palestinians amidst the ethnic cleansing campaign in the West Bank

May 27, 2026 - Halq Al Rummaneh is a beautiful village located in Ain Al-Duyuk, outside of Jericho, home to a Palestinian community that has lived here for generations. The village is located on top of a mountain in Area A, yet is adjacent to a road classified as Area C, which settlers and IOF use to drive to nearby outposts and bases, notably the settler outpost of Mevo’ot Yeriho and the Harmonot Military Base.

The only road that leads to the village, which is mostly dirt and stone, is in disrepair and can only be used by four-wheel drives due to not having been maintained since October 7, 2023. This makes the villagers all the more vulnerable to settler attacks, including the reality that ambulances cannot reach the community.

From October of 2025 until the end of 2025, settlers attacked the village on nine occasions. In one attack on December 14th, settlers brutally assaulted residents, after which more than 10 villagers, including elderly men and women, had to receive intensive care. Settlers also struck children under the age of four so violently that the children’s heads hit the walls of the room. Over the course of two months, the settlers also vandalized houses and a solar panel, and stole 200 sheep (worth a total of around USD 200,000), 20 chickens, 7000 shekels in cash, gold, and a car.

Yet another sign of Genocide: Denying a people their religious identity

For third year in a row, Israel blocks Hajj pilgrimage for Gaza Muslims

As millions of Muslims gather in Mecca, Palestinians in Gaza face a third year of heartbreak as Israel has shut the border.

May 24, 2026 - Hanan al-Hams was among the 3,000 Palestinians from Gaza scheduled to travel for the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in 2024. But her lifelong dream to perform Hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam, was shattered by Israel’s war on Gaza, launched on October 7, 2023.

“I lost my son, my home was destroyed, and now I am deprived of the journey I waited decades for,” al-Hams, 65, told Al Jazeera, sitting inside a makeshift tent pitched over the ruins of her home in northern Gaza.

Entry and exit from Gaza were decided by Israel even before the war began. A partial opening in February of the Rafah crossing – the only connection to the outside world –  has allowed passage only for patients who need medical treatments abroad.

For any other travel requirement, including pilgrimage, study, and work, getting out of the enclave is near to impossible amid an Israeli land, air and sea blockade in place since 2007.
