Elderly Palestinian man injured in attack by Israeli settlers south of Hebron
Hebron - Saba:
An elderly Palestinian man was injured and bruised on Monday evening following an attack carried out by Israeli settlers on a number of citizens in the Masafer Yatta area south of Hebron, in the southern West Bank.
Anti-settlement activist Osama Makhamreh told the Palestinian News Agency that settlers from the settlement outpost called "Mitzpe Yair" released their livestock into agricultural lands planted with seasonal crops and fruit trees, located between Khirbet Iqwis and the village of Sha'b al-Batm in Masafer Yatta.
He explained that residents attempted to confront the settlers and prevent them from destroying the crops, but the settlers attacked them and assaulted the elderly man, Rabhi al-Najjar, causing him bruises.
The settlers also fired live bullets at the citizens, but no injuries were reported. Israeli forces detained a number of citizens for more than half an hour.
It is noteworthy that the area is frequently subjected to attacks by settlers and enemy soldiers, as part of attempts to displace residents and seize control of their agricultural and pastoral lands.

Media Reports: British Company sent 1,000 ammunition containers to "Israel" during aggression on Gaza
London - Saba: British media reports indicate that a British engineering company sent more than 1,000 ammunition containers to an Israeli company, the primary supplier to the occupation army, during the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip. According to what was published Monday, by the British websites Declassified and Detach, new documents confirm that the British company Bermuda Industries sent more than 1,000 ammunition containers to the Israeli company Elbit Systems since October 2023, at the height of the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip, raising concerns about arms export controls in the United Kingdom. British reports indicated that the Durham-based engineering company sent 16 shipments of storage containers weighing more than 100 tons to Elbit Systems, which produces a range of weapons for the Israeli occupation army, including 155mm and 122mm artillery shells. The Bermuda Industries website indicates that the company produces a "wide range of ammunition containers" for belted ammunition, cartridges, mortar shells, and artillery shells. 920 containers were shipped to Elbit's Ramat Hasharon plant between October 2023 and April 2025, with another 160 containers shipped to Elbit's Advanced Technology Center in Haifa in December 2023. Elbit is a major supplier of mortars to the Israeli military and has participated in the design and manufacture of ground systems and products for armored vehicles, artillery systems, and shells used in the Gaza War. The Israeli military has also tested and deployed several mortar systems since the start of the offensive, including the Iron Sting system, which has a range of 1 to 12 kilometers. According to the documents, 360 containers were sent in April 2025, as the Israeli attack on Gaza escalated. The shipments were transported by the Israeli shipping company Zim to the port of Ashdod. Declassified estimated the total weight of these shipments at more than 135 tons. The UK Department for Business and Trade told Declassified: "We have a strict licensing regime for the export of controlled goods, and we have suspended all licenses for items intended for the Israeli military that may be used in military operations in Gaza. This is based on our assessment that these items may be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian law, subject to specific measures taken for the global F-35 program." Britain is witnessing ongoing demonstrations demanding an end to arms exports to the Zionist enemy, the most recent of which was the siege of Parliament by 10,000 protesters last Wednesday. Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn also introduced a bill calling for a full, public, and independent investigation into the UK's role in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, asserting that the government continues to permit the supply of weapons to a country whose leader is wanted by the International Criminal Court. In previous press statements, Corbyn said, "The continued supply of components for the F-35 fighter program is disgusting and must be investigated." He asked, "Is this an exception to the government's legal obligations to prevent genocide? One thing is beyond doubt: this government continues to permit the supply of weapons to a country whose leader is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity." With American and European support, the enemy has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the deaths of 54,927 civilians, most of them children and women, in addition to more than 11,000 missing persons.

Enemy Media: Israel arms militia tasked with recruiting Palestinians in Rafah
Occupied al-Quds- Saba: Israeli media revealed Monday evening that the "militia" armed by Israel inside the Gaza Strip has begun attempting to recruit Palestinians in the areas it controls south of Rafah, with the aim of forming administrative committees to manage those areas. According to the official Israeli Broadcasting Authority, Yasser Abu Shabab, who is presented as the leader of the Israeli-backed militia, called on Gaza residents to volunteer for these administrative committees in a post on his Facebook account. The militia, according to his claims, operates to oppose Hamas and provide civilian services such as distributing aid. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, wanted by the International Court of Justice, acknowledged last Thursday the arming of local militias in Gaza, allegedly for use against Hamas. This followed previous statements by former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who strongly criticized the move, describing these militia members as "a group of criminals and outlaws belonging to ISIS. In the same context, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that these militias "engage in smuggling and extortion and do not care about the Palestinian cause. The newspaper noted that their leader, Yasser Abu Shabab, a 32-year-old Bedouin from Rafah, "is known for looting UN trucks last year and reselling humanitarian aid. For its part, Hamas described these groups as "gangs that have practiced treason and theft," asserting that they "operate under direct Zionist security supervision," and warning that these militias constitute "a real enemy of our Palestinian people," according to a statement issued by the movement.
