3 Palestinians killed, 8 injured in attacks by zionist settlers in West Bank
Ramallah – Saba:
Three Palestinian citizens were killed and seven others were wounded by live ammunition during an attack by Zionist settlers, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, on the town of Kafr Malik east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
Another citizen was injured in a separate settler attack south of Nablus.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that three citizens were killed and seven others were shot by settlers and Israeli occupation forces during the assault on Kafr Malik, according to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA).
Earlier in the day, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated that its teams treated five injured individuals from Kafr Malik after they were shot by settlers, describing their wounds as severe.
Local sources reported that dozens of settlers attacked Kafr Malik, burning vehicles and houses while residents of the town and nearby villages attempted to confront them. The sources added that Israeli occupation forces provided protection for the settlers and fired live ammunition at Palestinian civilians.
Layla Ghannam, the Governor of Ramallah and Al-Bireh, condemned the heinous crime committed by settler gangs under the direct protection of the Israeli occupation army. She stated that this attack is a clear extension of the criminal policies pursued by the occupation in the West Bank, forming part of a series of ongoing massacres and genocide against the Palestinian people, particularly in Gaza.
Two days earlier, Israeli occupation forces killed 13-year-old Ammar Muataz Hmaidil, a player on the Palestinian national youth Muay Thai team, by shooting him directly in the town.
In Nablus, a Palestinian citizen was injured in the head after being struck by stones thrown by Zionist settlers in the village of Asira al-Qibliya, south of Nablus. WAFA reported that a group of settlers attacked the village, pelting stones at residents and injuring one person. The settlers also burned agricultural land earlier in the day and prevented civil defense crews from reaching the fire to extinguish it.
In a related incident, settlers uprooted dozens of trees between the villages of Aqraba and Majdal Bani Fadil south of Nablus. A group of settlers attacked the area, known as "Souf," uprooting and destroying around 80 trees.
Additionally, Zionist settlers attacked the Abu Faza'a Al-Kaabneh family east of Ramallah on Wednesday evening. Hassan Malihat, the General Supervisor of the "Al-Baidar" Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights, told WAFA that the settlers stormed the area under the protection of Israeli occupation forces and burned a parked car near a home.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that the assault followed days of provocative actions by settlers near Bedouin communities, including chanting religious slogans and issuing direct threats in an attempt to impose a new reality on the ground.
Later in the day, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society announced that its teams treated eight citizens for suffocation due to fires set by settlers burning Palestinian property in the area.

Israeli Occupation installs fire alarms in Ibrahimi Mosque as Hebron Endowment warns of "illegal interference"
Hebron – Saba: Israeli occupation authorities have installed fire alarm systems inside the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron, south of the occupied West Bank, exploiting a 12-day security closure—a move condemned by the Hebron Endowment as an "unlawful violation" of its jurisdiction. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the General Administration of the Hebron Endowment, affiliated with the Palestinian Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs, said: "The Israeli authorities installed fire alarms throughout the Ibrahimi Mosque compound, taking advantage of the closure imposed under the pretext of security concerns." The administration deemed this measure "a blatant violation and illegal interference in the authority of the Ministry of Awqaf, the sole entity responsible for managing the mosque," according to the Anadolu Agency. The Hebron Endowment emphasized that this step "comes amid ongoing Israeli obstruction of the Palestinian firefighting system project, following their recent unjustified locking of electrical control panels." On June 11, the Palestinian Ministry of Awqaf reported that Israeli occupation forces had padlocked electrical panels inside the Ibrahimi Mosque, risking power cuts to vital lighting systems. The endowment called for urgent intervention to halt these repeated violations against the Ibrahimi Mosque, which reopened earlier today after a 12-day closure citing "security reasons." Located in the old city of Hebron—under full Israeli control—the Ibrahimi Mosque is surrounded by roughly 400 Zionist settlers guarded by some 1,500 Israeli occupation soldiers. In 1994, Israel divided the mosque, allocating 63% for Jewish worship and 37% for Muslims, following a massacre by a Jewish settler that killed 29 Palestinian worshippers. The Jewish section includes the prayer hall. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

Donald Trump says US and Iran will hold nuclear talks next week
The US and Iran will hold talks next week on Tehran's nuclear ambitions, Donald Trump said, as he hailed a swift end to the war with Israel. The US president said his decision to join Israel's attacks by targeting Iranian nuclear sites with huge bunker-busting bombs had ended the conflict, calling it "a victory for everybody". "It was very severe. It was obliteration," he said, shrugging off an initial assessment by the US Defense Intelligence Agency that Iran's path to building a nuclear weapon may have been set back only by months. Speaking in The Hague where he attended a NATO summit on Wednesday, he said he did not see Iran getting involved again in developing nuclear weapons. Tehran has always denied decades of accusations by Western leaders that it is seeking nuclear arms. "We're going to talk to them next week, with Iran. We may sign an agreement. I don't know. To me, I don't think it's that necessary," Mr Trump said. Anxious Iranians and Israelis sought to resume normal life after the most intense confrontation ever between the two foes. Israel's nuclear agency assessed the strikes had "set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years". The White House also circulated the Israeli assessment, although Mr Trump said he was not relying on Israeli intelligence. He said he was confident Tehran would pursue a diplomatic path towards reconciliation. "I'll tell you, the last thing they want to do is enrich anything right now. They want to recover," he said. He added that if Iran tried to rebuild its nuclear programme, the US "won't let that happen". "Number one, militarily we won't," he said, adding that he thought "we'll end up having something of a relationship with Iran" to resolve the issue. The head of the UN's nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi, dismissed what he called the "hourglass approach" of assessing damage to Iran's nuclear programme in terms of months needed to rebuild as besides the point for an issue that needed a long-term solution. "In any case, the technological knowledge is there and the industrial capacity is there. That, no one can deny. So we need to work together with them," he said. His priority was returning international inspectors to Iranian nuclear sites, which he said was the only way to find out precisely what state they were in.

Israeli enemy forces storm multiple towns & villages in West Bank
Occupied Quds – Saba: The Israeli enemy forces continued their incursions into towns and villages and their assaults on unarmed civilians in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday. In Nablus, a child sustained bruises after being attacked and arrested by Israeli forces in the village of Al-Lubban al-Sharqiya, south of Nablus. According to the official Palestinian news agency, enemy soldiers assaulted 17-year-old Karam Nail Oweis while he was passing through the village in his father's vehicle. Sources confirmed that the enemy forces fired live ammunition during Oweis' arrest, beat him, and took him to a building that the enemy had converted into a military barracks four days ago. In northeast occupied Quds, Israeli occupation authorities decided to confiscate land in the town of Hizma. The Quds Governorate reported that the enemy authorities plan to seize the road adjacent to Wadi Azriq in Hizma, starting from the main road leading to the town of Jaba up to Al-Aqabat area, along with adjacent land plots, until December 31, 2027. In Jenin Governorate, Israeli forces stormed the towns of Jalboun and Kafr Dan on Wednesday evening. Local sources reported that enemy soldiers raided Jalboun village, east of Jenin, conducting random searches of houses and deploying in several streets. They also broke into Kafr Dan, west of Jenin, and raided a house. Meanwhile, enemy forces invaded the town of Beit Fajjar, south of Bethlehem, deploying in several neighborhoods and firing sound grenades at Palestinian civilians, though no arrests were reported. Later, Israeli forces deployed infantry units in the streets of Jenin, firing live ammunition randomly and obstructing civilian movement. Local sources confirmed that enemy forces shot at a Palestinian vehicle on Al-Sikka Street in Jenin, detaining its occupants without injuries. Troops also spread across the city center and near the Cinema Roundabout, firing live rounds at civilians. Earlier in the day, Israeli bulldozers continued demolishing houses in Jenin refugee camp as part of a demolition plan announced on June 9, targeting 95 houses across several neighborhoods. Additionally, Israeli military vehicles raided Jenin's commercial center near the vegetable market and main roundabout, storming a shop and confiscating its goods while firing toxic tear gas canisters. In the evening, 15-year-old Rayyan Houshiya was martyred by Israeli gunfire during the invasion of Al-Yamoun town, west of Jenin, raising the number of martyrs in the governorate since the aggression began on January 21 to 40. The Israeli enemy has continued its aggression on Jenin and its camp for the 156th consecutive day. Official estimates indicate that around 55,000 people have been displaced from the camp and its surroundings, with 600 houses completely destroyed and numerous others partially damaged, rendering them uninhabitable. The Jenin Municipality estimates direct losses from the aggression at nearly $300 million as of the end of May, stressing that these losses continue to rise daily due to the ongoing assault. The enemy has intensified raids on towns and villages in Jenin Governorate, breaking into homes, forcing residents out, converting buildings into military barracks, detaining and interrogating civilians on the spot, and subjecting detainees to abuse and beatings.
