Three Palestinians Killed, Several Injured in Settler Attack Near Ramallah
DayofPal– Three Palestinians were killed and at least seven others injured on Tuesday evening during a brutal assault by Israeli settlers and occupation forces in the village of Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the seven injuries included one in critical condition. The raid is part of an alarming rise in settler-led assaults on Palestinian communities, carried out under the protection of Israeli military forces. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society confirmed its crews responded to the casualties and transported the wounded to Ramallah Government Hospital, where it said several of the injured were reported to be in serious condition. Local sources reported that around 15 vehicles carrying armed settlers stormed the village at dusk, setting fire to homes and vehicles belonging to Palestinian residents. The assault triggered clashes as local residents and people from nearby villages attempted to fend off the attackers. Eyewitnesses said that Israeli forces arrived shortly after the settlers entered the village, not to de-escalate the violence, but to provide cover for the attackers. The soldiers opened live fire on residents trying to defend their homes, resulting in additional injuries. This latest assault comes just two days after Israeli forces fatally shot 13-year-old Ammar Mo'taz Hamayel in the same village. Hamayel, a member of the Palestinian national Muay Thai youth team, was shot directly by Israeli troops during an earlier raid. Tuesday's violence in Kafr Malik reflects a growing coordinated attacks by settlers and Israeli forces against Palestinian communities, particularly in rural and isolated areas of the West Bank. Human rights groups have repeatedly warned of the impunity granted to settlers and the complicity of Israeli forces in the violence. The international community has yet to take meaningful action to stop the ongoing attacks, which Palestinians describe as part of a broader strategy to forcibly displace them from their land.

3 Palestinians killed, 8 injured in attacks by zionist settlers in West Bank
Ramallah – Saba: Three Palestinian citizens were killed and seven others were wounded by live ammunition during an attack by Zionist settlers, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, on the town of Kafr Malik east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. Another citizen was injured in a separate settler attack south of Nablus. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that three citizens were killed and seven others were shot by settlers and Israeli occupation forces during the assault on Kafr Malik, according to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA). Earlier in the day, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated that its teams treated five injured individuals from Kafr Malik after they were shot by settlers, describing their wounds as severe. Local sources reported that dozens of settlers attacked Kafr Malik, burning vehicles and houses while residents of the town and nearby villages attempted to confront them. The sources added that Israeli occupation forces provided protection for the settlers and fired live ammunition at Palestinian civilians. Layla Ghannam, the Governor of Ramallah and Al-Bireh, condemned the heinous crime committed by settler gangs under the direct protection of the Israeli occupation army. She stated that this attack is a clear extension of the criminal policies pursued by the occupation in the West Bank, forming part of a series of ongoing massacres and genocide against the Palestinian people, particularly in Gaza. Two days earlier, Israeli occupation forces killed 13-year-old Ammar Muataz Hmaidil, a player on the Palestinian national youth Muay Thai team, by shooting him directly in the town. In Nablus, a Palestinian citizen was injured in the head after being struck by stones thrown by Zionist settlers in the village of Asira al-Qibliya, south of Nablus. WAFA reported that a group of settlers attacked the village, pelting stones at residents and injuring one person. The settlers also burned agricultural land earlier in the day and prevented civil defense crews from reaching the fire to extinguish it. In a related incident, settlers uprooted dozens of trees between the villages of Aqraba and Majdal Bani Fadil south of Nablus. A group of settlers attacked the area, known as "Souf," uprooting and destroying around 80 trees. Additionally, Zionist settlers attacked the Abu Faza'a Al-Kaabneh family east of Ramallah on Wednesday evening. Hassan Malihat, the General Supervisor of the "Al-Baidar" Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights, told WAFA that the settlers stormed the area under the protection of Israeli occupation forces and burned a parked car near a home. Eyewitnesses confirmed that the assault followed days of provocative actions by settlers near Bedouin communities, including chanting religious slogans and issuing direct threats in an attempt to impose a new reality on the ground. Later in the day, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society announced that its teams treated eight citizens for suffocation due to fires set by settlers burning Palestinian property in the area.

Palestinian family rescued after 37-day siege in southern Gaza
Rescue teams from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) evacuated a family of six from Abasan, east of Khan Younis, after they had been trapped for 37 days under severe humanitarian conditions. The operation, carried out on Saturday, followed days of coordination amid ongoing Israeli military activity that had made access unsafe. The family was transferred to the PRCS-run Al-Mawasi Field Hospital, west of Khan Younis, where they are receiving full medical and psychological care. The group had endured intense physical and emotional hardship during their isolation, as movement in the area remained highly dangerous due to Israeli targeting of civilians, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
