Additionally, they set up a military checkpoint, obstructing civilian movement west of Bethlehem in occupied Palestine.
According to local sources cited by the official Palestinian News Agency, the enemy forces stormed the old town of "Al-Khokha" in central Al-Dhahiriya, provocatively patrolling its alleys. They also raided the town of Dura to the south, firing tear gas and sound grenades at shops and civilian houses before withdrawing.
In Nablus Governorate, Israeli enemy forces raided the village of Madma, south of Nablus, breaking into several houses. Abdullah Ziyada, head of the Madma Village Council, stated that the enemy forces entered the village amid heavy gunfire and tear gas, raided multiple houses, interrogated young men, and searched their mobile phones.

Hezbollah SG: Defending homeland requires no one's permission
Beirut – SABA: The Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sheikh Naeem Qassem, affirmed on Friday that 'defending the homeland requires no one's permission', adding that the resistance remains open to discussions when a serious and effective alternative for national defense is proposed. In remarks delivered during the ninth night of Ashura commemorations at the Sayyed al-Shuhada Complex, as reported by Al-Manar, Sheikh Qassem stated: 'We are not far from discussion and understanding with those who claim to be capable of protecting the country. But we will not accept demands to hand over our weapons without first demanding an end to aggression.' He criticized those calling for disarmament while remaining silent about the Israeli occupation, saying: 'It is illogical to criticize only those resisting occupation while ignoring the occupier itself.' Addressing those betting on foreign powers or hiding behind hostile forces, Qassem said: 'You miscalculated. The people of resistance do not fear enemies, nor will they surrender their rights. True achievement lies in liberating land and restoring sovereignty — and we are always ready for this mission.' He emphasized that Ashura commemorations are a revival of Islam's broad and timeless teachings, noting that Islam is not a set of rigid rituals, but rather a comprehensive project for humanity, built on unchanging values and flexible practices that adapt to time and experience. Sheikh Qassem added that the emergence of pioneering figures in Lebanon who adhere to Islamic principles reflects a living embodiment of the values Hezbollah believes in. He also recalled the resistance's role in recent confrontations: 'In our last two battles — 'Al-Awliyaa' al-Ba's' and 'Al-Aqsa Flood' — we fought alongside the people of Gaza and sacrificed many martyrs, including women and children, because our resistance is comprehensive and inclusive.' He concluded by stressing that true patriotism lies in attachment to the land and defending it, educating future generations to love and belong to it: 'We believe in our country. There is no contradiction between Islam and patriotism. Islam encourages love of the homeland and urges its defense.' Qassem reiterated that Hezbollah's choice of resistance stems from Islam, inspired by the paths of Imam Hussein (A.S.) and Lady Zainab (A.S.), stating: 'Our resistance is not a slogan, but a firm stance against the Israeli enemy. He must leave — and we have no option but to resist him until he does.' Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

Israeli Occupation destroys 'Badu al-Kaabneh' School, displaces Arab al-Mlihāt Community
Ariha – SABA: Israeli occupation forces stormed and destroyed the 'Badu al-Kaabneh' Coeducational Primary School east of Ariha today, Friday, and forcibly displaced the residents of the neighboring Arab al-Mlihāt community — an act the Palestinian Ministry of Education condemned as a crime against the right to education and dignified living. In an official statement, the ministry stressed that this violation goes beyond the demolition of a school building, describing it as a systematic attempt to undermine the future of students in marginalized and threatened areas. It noted that the Israeli authorities aim to impose a forced reality by emptying the land of its native inhabitants and depriving children of a safe educational environment. The Ministry added that the incident represents a blatant breach of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international agreements that guarantee the right to education. It further emphasized that the continued Israeli violations require urgent international action, calling on all human rights and humanitarian organizations — foremost among them the United Nations — to exert pressure on Israeli authorities to cease these abuses, reopen the school, and guarantee the children's right to return to their classrooms without fear.

Al-Qassem, al-Nasser Brigades shell Israeli Forces in Northern Gaza
Gaza – SABA: The Martyr Omar Al-Qassem Forces, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, announced today, Friday, that they jointly shelled Israeli occupation forces with the Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, the armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, in northern Gaza. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the Al-Qassem Forces said: 'We targeted the massing of enemy forces advancing into northern Gaza, specifically in Jabalia al-Balad, Arbekan area near Al-Omari Mosque, using mortar shells, in coordination with the Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades.' This operation comes as part of the ongoing resistance response to the genocidal crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against the people of Gaza — crimes carried out with U.S. support since October 7, 2023, involving killings, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, all while ignoring international appeals and rulings by the International Court of Justice to halt the aggression.
