Israeli Occupation escalates attacks on Palestinians in West Bank, Quds
Quds/Al Khalil/Nablus – SABA: Israeli occupation forces and settlers escalated their assaults across the occupied West Bank and Quds on Monday evening, launching widespread raids, physical attacks, demolitions, and systematic harassment of Palestinians in various areas. In the latest developments, Israeli forces stormed the eastern part of Nablus, surrounding Joseph's Tomb, in preparation for a settler incursion, according to the official Palestinian news agency. Meanwhile, Quds News Network reported that occupation forces raided Idhna town west of Al Khalil, firing live ammunition and tear gas indiscriminately, leading to dozens of suffocation cases. Another unit raided the Al-Qata'a area in Beit Ummar, north of the city. In southern Hebron's Masafer Yatta, settlers released livestock onto Palestinian farmlands in Al-Qawaqis and Shaab Al-Butum to destroy crops. They also carried out bulldozing operations in Umm Al-Khair village. Israeli forces invaded Al-Karmel town and set up a checkpoint in its center. Elsewhere, forces stormed Birzeit and Jifna towns near Ramallah, closing the gate leading to Turmus Ayya and barring Palestinians from entering or exiting. Settlers in Turmus Ayya also set fire to Palestinian agricultural lands, while bulldozers continued to dig and lay pipelines in Deir Jarir as part of an accelerating settlement expansion plan. In Salfit, Israeli soldiers assaulted Palestinian civilians at the northern entrance of the city, stopping vehicles, beating passengers, and reportedly stealing cash from several youths before allowing them to pass. In Quds, occupation forces assaulted journalists in Al-Jadeera, firing sound grenades that sparked fires reaching nearby Rafat lands. Bulldozers demolished four structures, including a two-story home, under the pretext of lacking permits, and issued demolition notices for three residential buildings in Qalandiya comprising around 12 apartments. In Ariha, settlers poisoned livestock belonging to Mohammad Hassan Harizat in Shallal Al-Auja, killing several animals — part of ongoing efforts to forcibly displace herders. According to the Ma'ta Center for Palestinian Information, July alone saw 6,685 documented violations by Israeli forces and settlers across the West Bank and Jerusalem — part of an intensifying campaign aimed at erasing Palestinian presence and identity.

Occupation kills 58 Palestinians since dawn
Gaza – Saba: Fifty-eight Palestinian civilians were martyred and dozens of others injured on Sunday in ongoing Israeli attacks on various areas of the Gaza Strip since dawn, according to medical, local, and media sources monitored by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba). Israeli enemy forces targeted aid distribution centers, neighborhoods, homes, and civilian gatherings across Gaza in what observers describe as part of a continuing genocide campaign since October 7, 2023. Seven Palestinians were martyred by Israeli enemy gunfire while waiting for aid in the southern Gaza Strip, and another was martyred after the Zionist army directly targeted al-Tineh aid center in northwest Rafah. Two Palestinians were martyred and others wounded in an Israeli enemy airstrike on humanitarian aid security personnel near the intelligence area in northwest Gaza City. Medical and civil defense teams recovered the bodies of 22 martyrs from al-Shuja'iya and al-Tuffah neighborhoods in eastern Gaza City, including five martyred in a new strike on a civilian gathering in al-Zaytoun neighborhood. Elsewhere, 20 Palestinians were martyred and 44 injured when Israeli enemy forces opened fire on crowds waiting for aid at two distribution points in central and southern Gaza. Among them were: 9 martyrs west of Rafah, 6 on Salah al-Din Street in central Wadi Gaza, and 5 in al-Sudaniyya in northern Gaza. Three civilians were also martyred in an Israeli airstrike on a gathering in Al-Shuja'iya neighborhood in Gaza City. Earlier in the day, two Palestinians were martyred in an Israeli occupation strike on al-Amal School in Khan Younis's Japanese neighborhood. Meanwhile, a staff member of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society was martyred and three others injured in an Israeli strike on the association's headquarters, which ignited a fire on the building's first floor. With U.S. and European support, Israeli occupation continues to wage a genocidal war on Gaza that has, to date, resulted in the martyrdom of 60,839 civilians—mostly women and children—and injured 149,588 others, according to a non-final tally. Thousands remain trapped under rubble or on roadways unreachable by rescue teams. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
