Salfit - Saba: Israeli enemy forces stormed the town of Kafr ad-Dik, west of Salfit, on Wednesday, accompanied by heavy bulldozers, in preparation for demolition operations. Local Palestinian sources reported that large Israeli enemy army forces, accompanied by bulldozers, raided the western area of the town, "al-Sha'ab," and took up positions around several homes, in preparation for the demolition of residential structures. The same sources indicated that Israeli enemy forces forced a Palestinian citizen to evacuate his two-story home, which houses his family, including his wife and five children, in preparation for its demolition. It is worth noting that the town of Kafr ad-Dik has recently witnessed a significant escalation in Israeli violations, particularly regarding the demolition of Palestinian homes, the issuance of demolition notices, the suspension of work and construction, the seizure of land, and the leveling of land for settlement expansion.

UN experts: 'Israel' is committing genocide, planning to wipe out life in Gaza
NEW YORK, June 11 (YPA) – UN experts said that Israeli occupation committed a crime against humanity amounting to 'genocide' by killing civilians who had sought refuge in schools and religious sites in the Gaza Strip as part of a 'systematic campaign to erase Palestinian life'. In its report released on Tuesday, the committee noted that the occupying authorities have destroyed more than 90% of school and university buildings and more than half of the religious and cultural sites in Gaza. It concluded that the occupation committed war crimes, 'including directing attacks against civilians and educational facilities. The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and 'Israel' was scheduled to present its report to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on June 17. 'We are witnessing mounting evidence that Israel is waging a systematic campaign to erase Palestinian life in Gaza.' Navi Pillay, the former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights who chairs the commission, said in a statement, 'Israel's targeting of the educational, cultural, and religious life of the Palestinian people will harm current and future generations and undermine their right to self-determination.' The occupying authorities withdrew from the Human Rights Council in February, claiming it was biased. When the commission's latest report in March concluded that 'Israel' had committed 'acts of genocide' against Palestinians through the systematic destruction of women's healthcare facilities during the conflict in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the findings as biased and anti-Semitic. In response to the 'Al-Aqsa Intifada' Hamas launched on October 7, 2023, the occupying authorities launched a military campaign in the Gaza Strip that, according to health authorities in the Strip, resulted in the deaths of more than 54,000 Palestinians. The report concluded that the damage to the Palestinian education system was not limited to Gaza, pointing to increased Israeli military operations in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, along with harassment of students and attacks by settlers there. 'The Israeli authorities also targeted Israeli and Palestinian education workers and students inside Israel who expressed concern for or solidarity with civilians in Gaza, resulting in harassment, dismissal, or suspension, and in some cases, arrest and detention in a humiliating manner,' the report stated, adding that the Israeli authorities particularly target female teachers and students with the aim of deterring women and girls from activism in public spaces.'

Moscow: NATO rearmament plans designed for conflict with Russia
Moscow - Saba: Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko has confirmed that NATO's plans to rearm the armies of alliance members, increase military budgets, and reform the command structure are specifically designed for a military confrontation with Russia. Grushko told Sputnik on the sidelines of the Future 2050 Forum in Moscow: "If we look back at NATO, we really see—and this is evident not only in the exercises, but also in the plans to re-equip armies, increase military budgets, reform the command structure, and create new commands—that all of this military buildup is, to a large extent, designed for a military confrontation with Russia." The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister also noted that the alliance's readiness for a conflict with Russia is a reality that today defines Moscow's military and political relations with NATO countries. These statements come a day after NATO exercises in the Baltic Sea, at a time when the European region is experiencing unprecedented tensions since the end of the Cold War, amid strained relations between the West and Russia over the Ukrainian crisis. These massive military exercises aim to test NATO's ability to rapidly deploy forces over long distances and enhance coordination between the various militaries of the alliance's members. In recent years, Russia has observed unprecedented NATO activity near its western borders. The alliance is expanding the scope of its initiatives, describing them as "containing Russian aggression." Moscow has expressed concern on several occasions about the alliance's bolstering of its forces in Europe. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Russia remains open to dialogue with NATO, but on an equal footing, while the West must abandon its path toward militarization of the continent.
