Palestine begs world: “STOP THE ISRAELI KILLING MACHINE!”
— as West Bank comes under fresh, brutal assault
(Al- Jazeera) Palestine’s Foreign Ministry is demanding action from the international community to halt Israel’s “war crime” as it continues its large-scale military assault on the occupied West Bank.
In Gaza, at least one Palestinians has been killed in Israeli attack on the Bani Suheila municipality, near Khan Younis city, as US-brokered ceasefire violations continue.
Another Palestinian man was wounded after an assault by Israeli settlers in the village of Rujeib, east of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.
Settlers attacked the man while he was on Rujeib Mountain, causing injuries that required his transfer to hospital for treatment, the Wafa news agency reported.

Israeli forces detained several Palestinians in the town of Yabad, southwest of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, local residents told the Wafa news agency.
Soldiers stopped a group of young men near a roundabout and severely beat one of them before holding others for questioning.
Later, troops raided the home of freed prisoner Nazmi Abu Bakr, 25, destroying his belongings before arresting him.
Israelis from illegal settlements also cleared Palestinian land in the town, while Israeli forces continued turning several homes into military outposts after forcibly evicting residents.
Yabad’s Mayor Amjad Attatra said settlers have stepped up assaults on private land as the army maintains its seizure of multiple homes in the area.
Three Palestinians have also been injured in an Israeli drone attack in an area northeast of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Gaza-based Wafa news agency said the three were hit by a drone-fired munition inside the “yellow line” zone in the town of al-Qarara.
Set out in the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, the yellow line refers to an unmarked boundary where the Israeli military repositioned itself when the deal came into effect last month.
It has allowed Israel, which routinely fires at Palestinians who approach the line, to retain control over more than half of the coastal territory.
The Palestinian Authority’s Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission said Israeli forces and settlers carried out 2,350 attacks across the West Bank last month alone.
Since the early hours on Friday, Israeli troops demolished Palestinian homes in the besieged Jenin refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank.
Israeli bulldozers started demolishing 24 homes in the Abdullah Azzam neighbourhood, west of the camp, including 12 slated for complete demolition, the report said.
The Israeli army has destroyed more than 600 homes in the refugee camp since January, forcing the displacement of 22,000 residents, the Wafa news agency reported.
The Palestine Center for Prisoners’ Studies says Israel has sharply intensified its mass arrest campaign across the occupied West Bank, a form of collective punishment aimed at intimidating communities.
Riyad al-Ashqar, the centre’s director, said Israeli forces have increased overnight raids on towns, villages and refugee camps, breaking into homes, damaging property, and seizing cash and jewellery before detaining residents. Many are taken blindfolded and handcuffed to makeshift interrogation sites.
Al-Ashqar said nearly all detainees experience some form of violence or degrading treatment from the moment of arrest, including prolonged exposure to cold and rain, and physical and verbal assaults.
No area of the West Bank has been spared, he said, citing a recent large-scale incursion in Tammun where more than 300 residents, including the town’s mayor, were detained and interrogated before most were released.
Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has killed at least 69,785 Palestinians and wounded 170,965 since October 2023. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks and about 200 taken captive.
