26.07.2026The day of the mosque burnings and the assassination of Gaza's security chief

Editors led with a sharp escalation in settler violence across the West Bank, focusing on the burning of two mosques in Nablus and Tulkarm, alongside new outposts and road closures. This was framed as part of a three-day surge of raids and attacks, with outlets highlighting the arson of Al-Rahma Mosque in Qusra before its opening for prayer.

In Gaza, the targeted killing of the Internal Security Director for the central governorate and his deputy in a strike on their vehicle in Deir al-Balah dominated coverage, seen as a deliberate ceasefire violation. Casualty reports rose to nine dead and 36 injured over 24 hours.

By afternoon, attention shifted to Israel's cabinet approving the entry of an international 'Peace Council' and a 200-soldier force into Gaza, with a pilot project in Rafah, while Netanyahu rejected US withdrawal demands. Regional diplomacy continued with Trump halting strikes on Iran for negotiations.
