Israel kills 60+ Palestinians in 24h as West Bank settler violence soars
Shafaq News – Gaza/Ramallah Israeli airstrikes killed at least 61 Palestinians and injured 231 others across the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, according to the Health Ministry. Strikes hit Gaza City's Zaytoun neighborhood, Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, and southern Khan Younis, the Palestinian Information Center reported. Since the war began on October 7, 2023, the death toll has climbed to 57,823, with 137,887 injured. In the occupied West Bank, settler violence—often carried out with military support—continued to escalate. In Sinjil, north of Ramallah, 23-year-old Saif al-Din Mslat was beaten to death by Israeli settlers in what witnesses described as a targeted assault. Clashes also erupted in Khirbet al-Tal, south of Sinjil, where settlers tried to block Palestinian residents and international activists from reaching farmland near newly established outposts. At least 10 people were injured, some with fractures and head wounds, while ambulances were damaged by rocks. Further south in Susiya village, Masafer Yatta, settlers stormed homes and injured two residents with blunt objects, according to village council head Jihad Nawajaa. #شاهد | مستوطنون مقنّعون يعتدون على مركبة فلسطينية في بلدة سنجل شمال رام الله — المركز الفلسطيني للإعلام (@PalinfoAr) July 11, 2025 In Bethlehem's al-Maniya area, settlers vandalized homes in Wadi Sa'ir, damaging at least 10 buildings and injuring several civilians.

Oscar-winning Palestinian director injured in clash with Israeli settlers and arrested
RAMALLAH (Reuters) - The Oscar-winning director of a documentary on the Israel-Palestinian conflict was arrested late on Monday during a standoff over an attempt by settlers to steal sheep from Palestinian farmers in the occupied West Bank, a witness said. Hamdan Ballal, co-director of the award-winning "No Other Land", was attending a gathering for Iftar, the end of the daily Ramadan fast, at Susiya village near Hebron, when a group of settlers attacked the gathering, said Jihad Nawajaa, head of the Susiya local council. "Dozens of settlers attacked the gathering at Iftar," Nawajaa told Reuters by phone. "The young men came out to prevent them, and there were about eight injuries on our side." Israeli police arrested three men, including Ballal, who was injured during the standoff, he said. It was unclear how badly he had been injured. The Israeli military said police and soldiers intervened after Palestinians threw rocks at the vehicles of Israeli citizens. It said three Palestinians suspected of throwing rocks at them were arrested. It denied reports that at least one of the Palestinians was arrested in an ambulance. "No Other Land," a film about Israeli displacement of a Palestinian community, co-directed by Palestinian and Israeli directors, won the Oscar at this year's Academy Awards.
