Israeli Occupation escalates attacks on Palestinians in West Bank, Quds
Quds/Al Khalil/Nablus – SABA: Israeli occupation forces and settlers escalated their assaults across the occupied West Bank and Quds on Monday evening, launching widespread raids, physical attacks, demolitions, and systematic harassment of Palestinians in various areas. In the latest developments, Israeli forces stormed the eastern part of Nablus, surrounding Joseph's Tomb, in preparation for a settler incursion, according to the official Palestinian news agency. Meanwhile, Quds News Network reported that occupation forces raided Idhna town west of Al Khalil, firing live ammunition and tear gas indiscriminately, leading to dozens of suffocation cases. Another unit raided the Al-Qata'a area in Beit Ummar, north of the city. In southern Hebron's Masafer Yatta, settlers released livestock onto Palestinian farmlands in Al-Qawaqis and Shaab Al-Butum to destroy crops. They also carried out bulldozing operations in Umm Al-Khair village. Israeli forces invaded Al-Karmel town and set up a checkpoint in its center. Elsewhere, forces stormed Birzeit and Jifna towns near Ramallah, closing the gate leading to Turmus Ayya and barring Palestinians from entering or exiting. Settlers in Turmus Ayya also set fire to Palestinian agricultural lands, while bulldozers continued to dig and lay pipelines in Deir Jarir as part of an accelerating settlement expansion plan. In Salfit, Israeli soldiers assaulted Palestinian civilians at the northern entrance of the city, stopping vehicles, beating passengers, and reportedly stealing cash from several youths before allowing them to pass. In Quds, occupation forces assaulted journalists in Al-Jadeera, firing sound grenades that sparked fires reaching nearby Rafat lands. Bulldozers demolished four structures, including a two-story home, under the pretext of lacking permits, and issued demolition notices for three residential buildings in Qalandiya comprising around 12 apartments. In Ariha, settlers poisoned livestock belonging to Mohammad Hassan Harizat in Shallal Al-Auja, killing several animals — part of ongoing efforts to forcibly displace herders. According to the Ma'ta Center for Palestinian Information, July alone saw 6,685 documented violations by Israeli forces and settlers across the West Bank and Jerusalem — part of an intensifying campaign aimed at erasing Palestinian presence and identity.

Spain Dismantles Major Migrant Smuggling Network Operating from Yemen
Aden — Spanish authorities have successfully dismantled a transnational smuggling ring that specialized in the illegal trafficking of migrants from Yemen into Europe. The operation involved extensive coordination between Spain's Guardia Civil, Europol, and international intelligence agencies. The network allegedly facilitated the clandestine movement of hundreds of Yemeni nationals, exploiting maritime and land routes across the Mediterranean and through North Africa. Authorities say the smugglers charged exorbitant fees while exposing migrants to dangerous conditions, including overcrowded boats and forged travel documents. A total of 17 individuals—including suspected ring leaders—have been arrested following raids across Madrid, Valencia, and the southern coast. Spanish police confiscated large sums of cash, mobile devices used in coordination, and a trove of false IDs and passports. According to an official source: 'This group profited from human desperation. Their dismantling marks a major step in Spain's commitment to combat human trafficking.' The operation comes amid growing concerns about the rise in irregular migration from conflict-affected areas, with Yemen being a major source due to its ongoing humanitarian crisis.
