WW3 Map Updates Show Israeli Forces Raid Ramallah Medical Complex and NGO Offices

Israeli forces raided the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah and the offices of several Palestinian NGOs including Addameer on 13 October 2026, while the UN verified 1,076 Palestinian deaths in Gaza during the ceasefire period from October 2025 to July 2026, according to the latest ww3 map developments.

Israeli Raids on Ramallah Medical Complex and NGO Offices

Israeli forces stormed the courtyard of the Palestine Medical Complex in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah on Tuesday and raided the offices of several prominent Palestinian human rights organisations, including Addameer, seizing equipment and files [1]. Israeli forces deployed snipers at the entrances to the medical complex during the incursion, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa [1]. They also blocked people from entering and leaving the facility [1]. The Palestine Medical Complex, considered the largest government medical facility in the occupied West Bank, has previously been targeted by Israeli forces [1]. In July, local reports said soldiers stormed the area surrounding the complex and fired tear gas canisters extensively, causing suffocation injuries among Palestinians [1]. The latest developments came as Israeli forces also raided the offices of several Palestinian non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Ramallah on Tuesday, including Addameer, which advocates for Palestinian prisoners, as well as the Union of Palestinian Women's Committees and the Human Rights Association, according to Al Jazeera English [1]. Israeli forces confiscated equipment belonging to Addameer, which Israeli authorities have previously designated a "terrorist organisation" [1]. Israeli forces have previously raided the offices of several Palestinian human rights groups across the occupied West Bank, accusing organisations advocating for Palestinian rights of having links to armed groups [1]. Israel has claimed that several of these organisations have ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a secular, left-wing movement with political and armed wings [1]. However, the organisations have disputed the allegations, and the claims have been challenged over the lack of publicly substantiated evidence supporting them [1].

Military Operations in Surrounding Ramallah Areas

On Tuesday, Israeli forces, accompanied by two tow trucks, also entered Al-Bireh, the Al-Tireh neighbourhood and the town of Sarda, north of Ramallah, patrolling the streets in military vehicles, Wafa reported [1]. Israeli forces also stormed the Legislative Council Roundabout, a prominent junction in central Ramallah, firing live ammunition, rubber-coated metal bullets and tear gas canisters while targeting journalists in the area, according to Wafa [1]. Local media reports said Firas Lutfi, a journalist with Sky News Arabia, sustained a shrapnel wound to his leg after being directly struck by a tear gas canister [1].

UN Verification of Gaza Deaths During Ceasefire

The United Nations Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory has verified the deaths of 1,076 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip between October 2025 and the end of July 2026, warning that continued Israeli attacks during the ceasefire period raise serious concerns about possible war crimes [3]. In a report released on Monday, the office said Palestinian medical sources had recorded more than 1,400 deaths since the ceasefire was announced on 10th October 2025 [3]. Of the 1,076 deaths verified by the UN office, 268 were children and 126 were women, together accounting for approximately 37 percent of the total [3]. The report also noted that more than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza since 7th October 2023 [3]. It indicated that the proportion of civilian deaths may be higher than the available figures suggest, as the breakdown does not account for civilian men among those killed [3]. Ajith Sunghay, head of the UN Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, described the continuation of violations during a period intended to be a ceasefire as appalling [3]. He warned that Palestinians were facing attacks within increasingly restricted areas, amid the continued deployment of Israeli forces and difficulties accessing essential supplies and services [3].

Israeli Territorial Control and Yellow Line Incidents

According to the report, Israeli forces controlled approximately 53 percent of Gaza’s territory when the ceasefire was announced, with plans to expand their deployment to approximately 70 percent [3]. UN monitoring also found that the boundaries of the so-called Yellow Line, marking areas of Israeli military deployment, were neither fixed nor clearly defined [3]. The report documented continued Israeli military incursions and advances into residential areas [3]. Between October 2025 and July 2026, the office verified the deaths of 331 Palestinians near the Yellow Line, including 66 children and 27 women [3]. The UN office stressed that deliberately targeting civilians who are not directly participating in hostilities may constitute a war crime, regardless of their location [3].

British Soldier Poses Before Burning Gaza School

A British man posed in front of a burning school in Gaza while serving with the Israeli army, an investigation by Declassified UK has revealed [2]. A film published by Declassified on Tuesday on YouTube entitled "We Exposed a British-Israeli Who Fought in Gaza" features a photograph of a British citizen it names as Jonathan Burman standing as a soldier in the Israeli military in front of the school in Gaza [2]. The film documents Declassified's investigation as the news organisation uncovered the details behind the photo, which it said Burman had originally posted on his private Instagram account [2]. Airwars, a transparency watchdog, traced the school to the Bani Suheila town east of Khan Younis in Gaza [2]. The school was called Madrasa al-Farabi [2]. On 12 December 2023, just over two months into the Gaza genocide, it was reported that Israeli soldiers attacked it [2]. In response to Declassified's request for comment, the Israeli military sent a statement from December 2023 saying it had eliminated a terrorist cell in a school [2]. But Airwars found this was a different school two kilometres away from the one in the photo - not the one Burman posed in front of [2]. Burman, according to Declassified, went to school in Manchester before going on a gap year in Israel [2]. He later joined the Israeli army [2]. The Israeli military confirmed to Declassified that Burman served in the 55th Brigade, an elite reserve unit of paratroopers [2]. According to Declassified, Burman posted a photo on his Instagram account which appeared to show him in Gaza's Khan Younis with heavy destruction visible behind him, as well as photos of himself serving in Lebanon and sitting in military overalls with other soldiers [2]. The film says Burman likely served in the brigade's 66th Battalion [2]. It features an interview with Yuval Green, a man who had served in that battalion as a medic [2]. "Some of the people are really driven by crazy insane religious ideas," Green said [2]. "This [fighting in Gaza] was just an opportunity for them to kill as many Gazans as they can and kick them out and get their lands" [2]. The film also cites research by the Hind Rajab Foundation which identified a company which it believed Burman had "likely" served with [2]. That company was involved in "close combat fighting and blowing up many residential buildings" in Khan Younis, and "laid waste to vast swathes" of the area, according to the foundation's findings [2]. Chris Sidoti, a member of the United Nations Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, also appears in the Declassified film [2]. He said Declassified's methodology "is exactly the methodology we use in" our investigations [2]. Sidoti said "you are not saying that this person is guilty of war crimes", but that "the evidence is sufficient" to warrant "further investigation" [2]. Sidoti said that the London Metropolitan Police's war crimes unit should investigate Burman [2]. Burman himself did not respond to requests for comment, according to Declassified [2]. Around 2,000 British-Israeli dual nationals are believed to have served in the Israeli military during Israel's war on Gaza, which a UN commission of inquiry found was a genocide last year [2]. Israeli forces have killed more than 74,000 Palestinians since the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023 which killed 1,200 people, with a further 170,000 wounded [2]. Thousands more in Gaza remain missing and are presumed dead beneath the rubble [2]. In April, London's Metropolitan Police announced it would not investigate 10 British nationals accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity while fighting with the Israeli military in Gaza [2]. This came after the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) and the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC) filed a 240-page dossier to the Met's War Crimes Team in April last year [2]. The Met said there was no realistic prospect of conviction and that an effective investigation could not be conducted [2].

Broader Context of West Bank and Gaza Violence

After the war in Gaza began in October 2023, Israel also increased its attacks in the occupied West Bank, with repeated Israeli military raids and settler attacks which have killed hundreds of people [1]. Israeli forces have killed more than 74,000 Palestinians since the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023 which killed 1,200 people, with a further 170,000 wounded [2]. The report also noted that more than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza since 7th October 2023 [3].

What to watch next: The UN Human Rights Office warned that the continuation of violations during the ceasefire period raises serious concerns about possible war crimes, with 331 verified deaths near the Yellow Line including 66 children and 27 women.
