Military source confirms continuation of naval ban on Israeli entity
A military source confirmed the continued enforcement of the Yemeni Armed Forces' decision to impose a naval ban on the Israeli entity, prohibiting the passage of any vessel, regardless of nationality or affiliation with companies that deal with the Israeli regime.
The source urged all ships to activate their Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), noting that the Yemeni Naval Forces are prepared to receive distress calls and communications to assist vessels and facilitate their passage via International Channel 16 or through the email info@navy.gov.ye.
Additionally, the source called on all ship-owning and operating companies, the maritime community, and the public to refrain from any dealings with the Israeli entity, regardless of offers, to ensure the safety of their ships and crews. It emphasized that maritime navigation remains safe for all except Israeli vessels, those heading to occupied Palestinian ports, or ships owned by companies that have violated the ban—until the aggression and siege on Gaza cease.
The military source stated that the vessel ETERNITY C was targeted after its captain refused to comply with repeated warnings from the Yemeni Naval Forces, issued via International Channel 16, demanding an immediate halt. The ship was operated by COSMO SHIPMANAGEMENT SA, a company that manages several vessels involved in trade with Israeli ports.
Among these vessels are HSL NIKE, which made four shipments from Turkish and Egyptian ports to the occupied port of Haifa in March, April, June, and July of this year, and FAITH, which conducted two shipments from Turkish and Egyptian ports in recent months.
The military source held violating shipping companies fully responsible for the safety of their vessels, crews, and the marine environment.

Israeli Settlers expand outpost in Masafer Yatta, storm Khirbet Samra in Jordan Valley
Occupied Qud – SABA: Israeli settler groups on Monday expanded an illegal outpost established after October 7, 2023, on Palestinian-owned land in the Al-Louza area, south of Khillet al-Daba'a in Masafer Yatta, southern West Bank. Meanwhile, other settlers stormed Khirbet Samra in the northern Jordan Valley. According to Ma'an News Agency, the Israeli military has long classified the Khillet al-Daba'a area as a 'firing zone' and has previously demolished homes, shelters, and caves in the village, forcibly displacing many residents under that pretext. Osama Makhameira, an activist in Masafer Yatta, said Israeli forces confiscated Palestinian land, demolished structures, and later handed the area over to settlers. He added that settler groups were conducting excavations near Palestinian homes in the village of Umm al-Khair, at the same site where settler Yinon Levy killed Palestinian activist Odeh al-Hathaleen last Monday. Levy returned to the same location today to oversee the excavation in what Makhameira called a deliberate provocation. Settlers also released their livestock among Palestinian homes and orchards in the areas of Khirbet al-Qawawees and Shaab al-Butum, intentionally damaging crops and trees. In a related development, armed settlers stormed Khirbet Samra in the northern Jordan Valley on Monday evening under Israeli military protection, triggering panic and fear among local residents. The northern Jordan Valley continues to witness a dangerous escalation in settler attacks on Palestinian villages, backed openly by Israeli occupation forces, compounding the suffering of the local population.

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.

Gaza – SABA: Six Palestinian civilians were killed and several others injured on Monday evening as Israeli occupation forces bombed multiple areas across the Gaza Strip. According to the Palestinian News Agency WAFA, Israeli forces targeted a group of civilians waiting for humanitarian aid northwest of the Strip, killing three people and wounding several others, who were taken to Al-Shifa Hospital. In another attack, Israeli warplanes struck civilians in the Al-Tuwam area, north of Gaza City, killing two more and injuring others.

Medical sources reported that the total number of martyrs in the Strip has risen to 74 since dawn Monday, including 36 civilians who were killed while waiting for humanitarian aid — amid an increasingly catastrophic humanitarian situation. Backed by the U.S. and Europe, the Israeli military has continued its genocidal campaign in Gaza since October 7, 2023. As of today, it has killed 60,933 Palestinian civilians — the majority of them women and children — and wounded 150,027 more. Thousands remain trapped under rubble or in the streets, beyond the reach of rescue and medical teams. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
