Summary

Israeli forces demolished a five-story residential building in the Al-Tur neighborhood of East Jerusalem on October 6, 2026, displacing approximately 70 Palestinians, most of them women and children. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir oversaw the demolition, which Israeli authorities said was carried out because the building lacked a permit. Residents had been given less than a day's notice to vacate. Hamas and the Arab League General Secretariat condemned the demolition as a violation of Palestinian rights and called for international intervention. The Palestinian Authority's Jerusalem Governorate also condemned the action, calling it official incitement and political exploitation ahead of Israeli legislative elections. Report 1 also documented two Palestinians injured in separate attacks in the West Bank and Israeli forces conducting raids in other locations.
