Israeli settlers kill 35-year-old Palestinian in Duma
Thameen Khalil Reda Dawabsheh, 35, was shot during an attack on the village. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its staff treated Dawabsheh before he succumbed to his wounds.
Suleiman Dawabsheh, head of the Duma council, said Israeli settlers attacked residents and opened fire in the southern part of the village during ongoing land-leveling activities, the Wafa news agency reported.
Since January, at least 10 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers, bringing the death toll to 30 since late 2023, according to Wafa.

Israeli far-right minister confronts prominent Palestinian detainee
Israel's far-right national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir published a video on Friday in which he confronts the most high-profile Palestinian detainee in Israeli custody in his prison cell. Marwan Barghouti, a leading member of the Palestinian Fatah party, has spent more than 20 years behind bars after being sentenced for his role in anti-Israeli attacks in the early 2000s. In the clip published by Ben Gvir on X, the minister and two other individuals, including a prison guard, surround Barghouti in a corner of his cell. 'You will not defeat us. Whoever harms the people of Israel, whoever kills children, whoever kills women... we will erase them,' Ben Gvir says in Hebrew. Barghouti tries to respond but is interrupted by Ben Gvir, who says: 'No, you know this. And it's been the case throughout history.' The video does not specify where Barghouti is currently being held. Contacted by AFP, sources close to Ben Gvir said the meeting took place 'by chance' in Ganot prison in southern Israel during an inspection visit by the minister, but they would not say when the footage was filmed. 'This morning I read that various 'senior officials' in the Palestinian Authority didn't quite like what I said to arch-terrorist Marwan Barghouti -- may his name be erased,' Ben Gvir said in the post accompanying the video on Friday morning. 'So I will repeat it again and again, without apology: whoever messes with the people of Israel, whoever murders our children, whoever murders our women -- we will wipe them out. With God's help.' Barghouti, who is now in his sixties, was arrested in 2002 by Israel and sentenced to life in 2004 on murder charges. Israel considers him a 'terrorist' and convicted him over his role in the second intifada, or uprising, from 2000-2005. He often tops opinion polls of popular Palestinian leaders and is sometimes described by his supporters as the 'Palestinian Mandela.' In a statement released by the official Palestinian news agency Wafa, the Palestinian Authority's foreign ministry denounced 'an unprecedented provocation' and described the confrontation as 'organized state terrorism.'

Syrian authorities arrest Assad-era militant suspected of mutilating bodies
LONDON: Authorities in the Syrian Arab Republic arrested a suspect for grave violations associated with the defunct Assad regime against civilians during the country's civil war. Security forces in the coastal governorate of Latakia have arrested Naser Hani Ruslan, who is accused of participating in serious abuses against Syrians, the Interior Ministry announced. The ministry added that Ruslan was part of a militia linked to the former Assad regime and was reportedly involved in operations against areas controlled by Syrian rebel forces, including the mutilation of bodies. Authorities have begun investigations against Ruslan, who is awaiting trial. Following the fall of the Assad regime last December, the new government in Damascus has arrested several suspects, including army officers, for crimes committed against Syrians during the country's civil conflict.
