Israel Continues Deadly Attacks in Gaza, Reestablishes Evacuated West Bank Settlement

HeadlineApr 21, 2026

In Gaza, Israeli strikes have killed at least five Palestinians in ​separate incidents. An Israeli airstrike killed at least three people in western Khan Younis, according to health officials at Nasser Hospital. With the latest strikes, Israeli attacks have killed more than 750 Palestinians since last year’s so-called ceasefire deal took effect.

In the occupied West Bank, Israel has officially reestablished the Sanur settlement, more than two decades after it was ordered dismantled. Elsewhere, a Palestinian boy was killed earlier today after being struck by a vehicle in the security convoy of an Israeli minister in the occupied West Bank. Sixteen-year-old Mohammad Majdi al-Jaabir was riding his bicycle to school when he was run over. Haaretz reports that the convoy was en route to secure Israeli settlement minister Orit Strock, who lives in an illegal Israeli settlement in Hebron.

Meanwhile, a joint report by the EU, U.N. and the World Bank reveals that $71.4 billion will be needed over the next decade for Gaza’s recovery and reconstruction. The report also warns that human development across the Gaza Strip has been set back by 77 years.
