'Like Land Like Money': Israeli Occupation Forces Raid West Bank Money Exchange Shops
Dozens of Palestinian casualties and detainees have been reported as Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) escalate their aggression in the West Bank, along with illegal settlers' violence on Palestinian civilians.
The IOF conducted coordinated raids on multiple foreign exchange businesses across Nablus and Jenin in the occupied WB late on Tuesday, leaving at least one Palestinian martyred and dozens injured. Over 30 individuals were detained during the raids.
Over 2$ million were confiscated, sources said, under the pretext that the shops supported 'terrorism' and that the money was designated for 'terrorism infrastructure'.

Meanwhile in the northern WB, occupation forces have intensified their operations, particularly in Jenin and Tulkarm. The military has imposed sieges on several towns and refugee camps, leading to widespread displacement and destruction.
In Jenin, bulldozers have demolished roads and homes, and many families have been forced to flee.
The United Nations reported that at least 39 Palestinians have been killed and over 40,000 displaced since the beginning of the offensive in January.
The escalated aggression on the WB came as 'Israel' continued its intensified military campaign in Gaza, killing more than 54,000 Palestinians since the war began on October 7, 2023, as tens of thousands of people starve in the besieged enclave.
Settler Violence Against Palestinians
On Wednesday, illegal Israeli settlers launched a violent attack on the Palestinian village of Mughayyir Al-Deir east of Ramallah, resulting in severely injured civilians.

Armed settlers assaulted Palestinians dismantling homes in the nearly vacated village, leaving ten people hospitalized, including a 14-year-old Palestinian boy. The settlers used firearms, batons, drones, and mobile reinforcements during the assault. Rights organizations have condemned these actions as part of a broader campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Gaza Ceasefire Talks Advance as Trump Says Deal with Hamas ‘Very Close'
Efforts to halt the war in Gaza gained new momentum early Saturday as US President Donald Trump said that Hamas and the Israeli occupation are seeking 'a way out of the chaos,' indicating that a ceasefire agreement in Gaza could be imminent. His remarks come after earlier affirming that negotiations were nearing a breakthrough, as the Israeli offensive in Gaza faces mounting international condemnation over the scale of civilian casualties and destruction. Speaking from the White House late Friday, Trump stated that 'Hamas and Israel are very close to reaching a ceasefire agreement in Gaza. We'll let you know later today or perhaps tomorrow. We have a real opportunity.' The statement signaled a potential turning point in months of conflict and behind-the-scenes diplomacy. US President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday that he believes they're 'very close' to a new ceasefire in Gaza. Earlier, Israel warned Hamas to accept the US-backed proposal or be 'annihilated' — Middle East Eye (@MiddleEastEye) May 31, 2025 Hamas Engaged in Talks as Ceasefire Framework Emerges On Friday, Hamas confirmed it is holding consultations with Palestinian factions regarding a ceasefire proposal submitted by US Middle East envoy Steve Weitkov. The proposal was delivered through Qatari and Egyptian mediators. In a statement, Hamas said it was discussing the terms of the ceasefire offer with allied Palestinian groups, signaling serious engagement with the initiative. In response, Israeli War Minister Yisrael Katz said Hamas must now decide between accepting the terms of the Weitkov proposal—including the release of Israeli captives—or facing full-scale annihilation. On the same day, Israeli Channel 12 quoted Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi as saying that if a deal is within reach, military operations should be paused to secure it, even if the agreement is partial. He emphasized that Israel cannot allow itself to be drawn into an indefinite war. The Zionist cabinet had already approved the Weitkov plan on Thursday. According to Israeli media, the proposal is seen as the most favorable to Israel among all previous ceasefire frameworks discussed since the conflict began. Details of the Weitkov Proposal According to reports by Al Jazeera, the US proposal centers on a 60-day ceasefire, during which Israel would suspend all offensive military operations in Gaza. Trump is said to personally guarantee Israeli compliance with the terms during the truce period. The proposal includes the release of 10 live Israeli captives and the remains of 18 others from a list of 58 detainees. Under the terms, five live captives and nine bodies would be handed over on the first day of the agreement, with the remaining detainees released on the seventh day. In exchange, the Israeli occupation would release 180 Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life, along with 1,111 individuals from Gaza arrested since October 7, 2023. Additionally, the remains of 180 deceased Palestinians would be returned in exchange for the bodies of the 18 Zionist captives. The agreement also stipulates the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza upon Hamas's approval of the ceasefire. Aid distribution would be conducted through mutually agreed channels, including the United Nations and the Red Crescent, and maintained throughout the duration of the truce. On the first day of implementation of the agreement, according to the 'Wittkopf Proposal,' negotiations will begin under the auspices of the guarantor mediators regarding the arrangements necessary for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

South Lebanon: Israeli Drone Strike Kills Citizen as He was Heading for Fajr Prayer
The Israeli enemy proceeds with its aggression on Lebanon in a new violation of a ceasefire signed in late 2024. Al-Manar correspondent in south Lebanon reported a Lebanese citizen was martyred at dawn on Saturday in an Israeli drone on his vehicle as he was heading for Fajr (dawn) prayer at his town's mosque. The strike was preceded by remarkable flight of Israeli Apache helicopters in the region, our correspondent said, noting that this is the first time -since the end of the recent war – that Israeli helicopters fly over such depth (some 25 kms from the Palestinian border). Mohammad Ali Jammaoul, 33, was martyred as his vehicle was targeted by a missile launched by an Israeli drone on the highway linking between his hometown of Deir Al-Zahrani and Nabatieh, the correspondent said. Jammoul's brother was also martyred during the latest 66-day Israeli war on Lebanon, during heroic clashes with occupation forces in Yohmor Al-Shaqeef. The Israeli enemy has been going ahead with its violations of the ceasefire. On Friday, Al-Manar correspondent reported that the Lebanese Army units found Israeli spy cameras in the outskirts of Blida border town in South Lebanon. Hezbollah has repeatedly called on the Lebanese State to take firm stance on the Israeli continued violations of the ceasefire which took effect on November 27, 2024 following a brutal Israeli war on Lebanon which started earlier in September. In an interview with Al-Manar on Wednesday, Hezbollah MP Hasan Fadlallah said the Lebanese government was not assuming its responsibilities regarding the Israeli withdrawal from the Lebanese territories that are still occupied, halting the Israeli attacks and the reconstruction efforts.
