A young man died this Wednesday morning from wounds he sustained when he was shot by Israeli occupation forces during their raid on the Old City of Nablus.

The Ministry of Health announced the death of Hamza Muhammad Saeed Khammash (33 years old), who succumbed to the serious injury he sustained from the bullets of the occupation forces.

Israeli occupation forces stormed the Old City of Nablus, raided the home of Al-Khammash in the Jasmine neighborhood, and opened fire at him from close range, wounding him with a bullet to the thigh. He later died of his wounds.

The occupation forces also arrested three citizens during the raid on the Old City: Yousef Muhammad Khammash, brother of the martyr Haza, Izz al-Bazm, and Nidal Habisha.

Three civilians were killed and others injured Tuesday evening in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting central and southern Gaza Strip areas, bringing the death toll from the genocide on the third day of Eid to 13, including a journalist.

According to medical sources, a Palestinian was killed after Israeli aircraft targeted a tent housing displaced people in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip.

According to the same sources, a number of civilians were injured in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a house near the Murtaja Junction in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.

Eyewitnesses reported that an evacuated house in Khan Yunis was hit by an Israeli airstrike, but no casualties were reported.

This was preceded by the death of a Palestinian as a result of Israeli artillery shelling of the eastern area of the town of Al-Qarara, north of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

The same sources reported that two Palestinians were injured by Israeli gunboat fire on the shore of Khan Yunis.

In Rafah, medical sources said that citizen Mohammed Khalil Abu Jalala died of wounds sustained by Israeli gunfire in the city.

During the early hours of Tuesday morning, 10 civilians, including a journalist and his entire family, were killed in Israeli airstrikes targeting various areas of the Gaza Strip.

Two civilians were killed in an Israeli attack on a house on Rashid Street in the western Gaza Strip, according to a medical source.

The source said that two other Palestinians were killed in shelling that targeted agricultural land and a building southwest of Deir al-Balah city in the central Gaza Strip.

At dawn on Tuesday, the Israeli occupation forces killed journalist Mohammed Saleh al-Bardawil, his wife, and his three children in an airstrike targeting their home in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.

Earlier, a medical source said that a child died of wounds he sustained in an Israeli airstrike that targeted their home in southern Gaza on Sunday.

Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli occupation forces opened heavy fire east of Gaza City and east of Jabalia, north of the Strip.

Since resuming its genocide in Gaza on March 18, Israel has killed 1,042 civilians and injured 2,542 others, most of them children and women, as of Tuesday noon, according to the Gaza Strip's Ministry of Health.

On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to escalate the genocide in the Gaza Strip and implement US President Donald Trump's plan to displace Palestinians.

With full American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 164,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.

Israeli occupation forces stormed the village of Jalboun, east of Jenin, on Tuesday evening.

Local sources reported that occupation forces stormed the village and took up positions on Al-Madaris Street, firing live ammunition and tear gas canisters, while drones hovered overhead. No arrests or injuries were reported.

Israeli occupation forces raid Jalboun almost daily, raiding and searching citizens' homes, and turning some of them into military barracks.

A young man was shot with live ammunition on Tuesday evening during an Israeli occupation forces raid on the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces stormed the town, firing live bullets, sound bombs, and tear gas, which resulted in a 35-year-old man being injured by live bullets in the thigh, after which he was transferred to the hospital.

Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus, on Tuesday evening.

According to local sources, occupation forces stormed the town, firing live ammunition, sound bombs, and tear gas, sparking clashes. No injuries were reported.

All bakeries in the Gaza Strip stopped operating on Tuesday due to a shortage of flour and fuel, which the Israeli occupation has prevented from entering the Strip for an entire month.

The head of the Bakeries Association in Gaza, Abdel Nasser Al-Ajrami, told WAFA yesterday that all bakeries in Gaza working with the World Food Programme (WFP) would close today due to a shortage of flour. He added that the war of starvation is raging again, as WFP-supported bakeries in the southern Gaza Strip closed their doors yesterday, while bakeries in Gaza and the northern Gaza Strip will cease operations as of today.

Al-Ajrami said, "The reason is the closure and blockade imposed on goods, which has led to a shortage of flour, fuel, and yeast as well." He noted that, "This closure casts a dire shadow over the living conditions of Gazans who are suffering the ravages of this brutal war, not to mention the lack of cooking gas."

The Gaza Strip consumes 450 tons of flour daily, according to the Gaza Bakeries Association. Bakeries used to cover 50% of citizens' needs.

There are 140 bakeries operating in the Gaza Strip, including 70 automated bakeries. A large proportion of these were destroyed by Israeli occupation forces, particularly those in the northern Gaza Strip. Losses are estimated to be in the millions of dollars.

Since October 7, 2023, the occupying forces have launched an aggression against the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of 50,399 citizens, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 114,583 others. This is a preliminary toll, with a number of victims still buried under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulances and rescue teams.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, discussed the situation in the Middle East and efforts to de-escalate the situation in the region on Tuesday.

This came during a phone call Sisi received from Trump, according to a statement from the Egyptian presidency.

The Egyptian presidency said in the same statement that Trump congratulated Sisi on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, which began Monday in Egypt.

The Egyptian and American presidents discussed "ways to strengthen bilateral relations, emphasizing the depth and strength of the strategic ties between the two countries and their commitment to continuing this cooperation to achieve the common interests of the two peoples."

The Egyptian and American presidents discussed "developments in the Middle East and mediation efforts to restore calm to the region, which would positively impact navigation in the Red Sea and prevent economic losses for all parties," according to the statement.

In late December 2024, the Egyptian presidency announced in a statement that the Suez Canal lost approximately $7 billion in revenue during the same year due to tensions in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which negatively impacted shipping traffic and the sustainability of global supply chains.

While the statement did not mention the Suez Canal's total revenues for 2024, the figure for 2023 reached $10.25 billion, according to official data.

The region has witnessed an escalation since January 2024, when the Houthis began directly targeting American ships, after previously focusing their attacks on Israeli or Israeli-linked vessels in solidarity with Gaza.

In early March 2025, the first phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza ended, but Israel re-closed the crossings days later, preventing humanitarian aid from entering the Strip.

Following the breach of the agreement and the closure of the crossings at the beginning of Ramadan, the Houthi group announced the resumption of its attacks on ships linked to Israel, with the aim of pressuring Tel Aviv to halt its war of extermination in Gaza.

In response, Trump announced in mid-March that he had ordered the US military to launch a "major attack" on Houthi positions in Yemen, a new escalation in a series of growing tensions in the region.

The Palestinian Prisoners' Club condemned statements made by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, which it viewed as an admission of systematic crimes against Palestinian prisoners.

On Monday, Ben-Gvir posted on his Twitter account the punitive measures he has taken against Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

He wrote: "There are no possessions (for the prisoners), no canteens, showers for 15 minutes (instead of 8 hours for the section that houses dozens of prisoners), one hour for the yard (the break), no large refrigerators, no representation for the prisoners, no education, no dental treatment, no cosmetic treatments."

Commenting on this, Palestinian Prisoners Club spokesman Amjad al-Najjar said in a statement, "The recent statements by the fascist minister Ben-Gvir constitute a new admission of his crimes, all of which fall under the category of torture, which have led to the deaths of dozens of prisoners and detainees. They constitute sufficient evidence to bring him before international courts."

Al-Najjar added that Ben-Gvir's statement "is an explicit admission of the commission of organized and systematic crimes against prisoners, in addition to dozens of statements in which he incited against prisoners and ordered their killing, both before and after the genocide."

He continued, "The Israeli minister's continued boasting about the crimes being perpetrated against thousands of prisoners in full view of the world reflects the ongoing inability of the international human rights system, which has collapsed in the face of the ongoing genocide, one of the manifestations of which are the ongoing crimes against prisoners and detainees, which are escalating with the passage of time."

On more than one occasion, Ben-Gvir has boasted about his actions against prisoners, appearing in video clips while they are being abused and calling for their execution.

On February 24, he boasted about forcing Palestinian prisoners at gunpoint to kneel and spray-paint walls with phrases including "Arab Jerusalem," and posted a video documenting the incident while Israeli guards held their weapons pointed at them.

At the end of July 2024, Ben-Gvir said in a video clip circulated on social media: "Palestinian prisoners should be shot in the head instead of being given more food."

He affirmed his support for the bill proposed by his right-wing Otzma Yehudit party, which calls for the execution of Palestinian prisoners.

According to data published by the Palestinian Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, the number of prisoners in Israeli jails exceeds 9,500, including more than 350 children, 22 female prisoners, and 3,405 administrative detainees.

Administrative detention is a detention order issued by an Israeli military order, based on the pretext of a security threat, without indictment. It lasts for six months, subject to extension. The intelligence service presents a so-called secret file to the court, which the lawyer and/or the detainee are prohibited from reviewing.

According to the two organizations, prisoners "face organized and systematic crimes in Israeli occupation prisons, which have reached their peak since the beginning of the genocide, leading to the martyrdom of dozens of prisoners and detainees. The identities of 63 martyred prisoners and detainees have been announced, including 40 from Gaza, while many of the martyrs among the Gaza detainees remain subject to enforced disappearance."

Coinciding with the war of extermination in Gaza, the Israeli army and settlers escalated their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, resulting in the deaths of more than 940 Palestinians and the injury of nearly 7,000 others, according to official Palestinian data.

The Israeli Peace Now movement said that the Supreme Planning Council will discuss, on Wednesday, a plan to build 2,545 new settlement units in the Ma'ale Adumim and Beitar Illit settlements near occupied Jerusalem.

The rights movement said in a statement published on its website: "The Supreme Planning Council will discuss on Wednesday the construction of 2,545 new housing units in the settlements of Ma'ale Adumim and Beitar Illit."

On Saturday, the Israeli security cabinet approved the construction of a settlement road around occupied East Jerusalem.

The approved road will connect Palestinian towns but isolate them from the rest of the West Bank, separating Palestinian traffic from the main roads connecting Jerusalem to the Ma'ale Adumim settlement, restricting the use of these roads to Israelis.

Peace Now stated in its statement that the Higher Planning Council, which approves settlement plans, holds weekly meetings to advance plans for housing units in the settlements.

She added, warning: "This shift toward approving plans on a weekly basis not only legitimizes construction in the occupied territories, but also strengthens it."

She noted that "since the beginning of 2025, and including the plans expected to be approved next week, the council has advanced the construction of 14,392 housing units" in the settlements.

In June 2023, the Israeli government made a fundamental change to settlement planning procedures, eliminating the need for the Minister of Defense's approval at every stage of advancing construction plans in settlements, according to Peace Now.

The movement added: "Before this amendment, any progress in settlement construction plans required prior approval from the Minister of Defense, which led to the Supreme Planning Council meeting being scheduled approximately four times a year, with each session seeing the approval of thousands of units at once."

She continued: "In recent weeks, we have witnessed a change in the form of the council meeting approximately every two weeks, with several hundred housing units being approved in each session."

She stressed that "in this manner, the government seeks to normalize planning in the settlements and reduce the amount of public and international attention and criticism directed at them."

According to Palestinian reports, "the number of settlers in the West Bank reached approximately 770,000 by the end of 2024, distributed across 180 settlements and 256 outposts, including 138 outposts classified as pastoral and agricultural."

On July 20, 2024, the International Court of Justice ruled that "the continued presence of the State of Israel in the occupied Palestinian territory is illegal," stressing that Palestinians have "the right to self-determination" and that "Israeli settlements in the occupied territories must be evacuated."

Since the beginning of the war of extermination on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army and settlers have escalated their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, resulting in the deaths of more than 940 Palestinians, the injury of nearly 7,000, and the arrest of 15,700, according to official Palestinian data.

Palestinian authorities warn that the widespread and destructive Israeli aggression comes "as part of a plan by Benjamin Netanyahu's government to annex the West Bank and declare sovereignty over it, which could represent an official declaration of the death of the two-state solution."

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 164,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.

US President Donald Trump said his phone call with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi went well.

Trump added that they discussed several issues, including the United States' targeting of the Houthis in Yemen, who are targeting ships.

Trump added, in a post on Truth Social, that the talks also addressed the situation in Gaza, in addition to issues related to "military readiness."

The Lebanese army announced on Tuesday that it had come under fire from the Israeli army while removing earthen barriers erected by the latter in the town of Adaisseh in the Marjayoun district in the south of the country.

It explained via the "X" platform that this shooting occurred despite his coordination with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to remove these earthen barriers.

The army said: "An army unit removed newly constructed earthen barriers that the Israeli enemy had erected in the town of Adaisseh in the Marjeyoun district, and reopened the road leading to one of the town's hills, in coordination with UNIFIL."

The army said that Israeli soldiers opened fire near its personnel to force them to withdraw from the site.

The army did not report any casualties as a result of the shooting or clashes at the scene.

On October 8, 2023, Israel launched an attack on Lebanon, which escalated into a full-scale war on September 23, 2024, resulting in more than 4,000 deaths and approximately 17,000 injuries, in addition to the displacement of approximately 1.4 million people.

Despite a ceasefire agreement in effect since November 27, 2024, Israel continues to target southern Lebanon under the pretext of attacking Hezbollah targets. Israel has committed 1,362 violations of the agreement, leaving at least 117 dead and 362 wounded, according to an Anadolu Agency tally based on official data.

Israel has reneged on its commitment to complete its withdrawal from southern Lebanon by February 18, contrary to the agreement. Instead, it has implemented a partial withdrawal and continues to occupy five major Lebanese hills, within the areas it occupied during the last war.

It has also recently begun establishing a border strip extending one or two kilometers inside Lebanese territory.

Footage documented settlers attacking a Palestinian family with stones while they were out for an Eid al-Fitr holiday north of Jericho in the West Bank.

Settlers attacked the family near the "Auja Waterfall" area, north of Jericho in the West Bank.

In a similar context, the occupation forces launched a large-scale demolition campaign targeting citizens' homes and sheep pens in several residential communities in the northern Jordan Valley in the West Bank, displacing a number of families and destroying their property.

Demolitions began in the village of Bardala, where a large force of the occupation army stormed the village and demolished a sheep barn, a residential caravan, and a bathroom belonging to Jihad Sawafta, displacing his family and depriving them of their shelter.

Military bulldozers then moved to the Al-Farisiya-Khallet Khader settlement, where they demolished the remaining tents of six families who had previously been displaced.

This attack resulted in the destruction of more than 11 facilities, including residential tents and sheep pens, further exacerbating the suffering of families already living in dire conditions.

The occupation forces also continued their operations in the Burj community, where they demolished residential barracks, sheep pens, and mobile bathrooms belonging to the families of Radi Khalil and Rad Zawahra. The damage included the demolition of residential barracks measuring 80 square meters, sheep pens measuring 180 square meters, and mobile bathrooms, exacerbating the suffering of the targeted families.

This campaign comes within the framework of the ongoing policy pursued by the occupation to displace residents of the northern Jordan Valley and deprive them of the necessities of life, in an attempt to impose a new reality that serves settlement expansion.

The US Treasury Department announced on its website on Tuesday that the United States has issued new Iran-related sanctions targeting six entities and two individuals, according to Reuters news agency.

The sanctioned entities included Iran and companies based in the UAE and China.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich admitted that 2024 saw the highest number of Palestinian building demolitions ever in the West Bank.

"In order to win this battle, we must use additional strategic tools," he continued, referring to settlement expansion and the construction of new settlements, as he put it.

The occupation government claims that the Palestinian buildings are unlicensed.

The number of Palestinian dead journalists  has risen to 209 since the start of the war waged by Israel on October 7, 2023, according to what the Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip announced on Tuesday.

The government office said in a statement: "The number of killed journalists has risen to 209 since the start of the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, following the announcement of the martyrdom of journalist Mohammed Saleh al-Bardawil, a broadcaster for the Voice of Al-Aqsa Radio."

The office condemned "Israel's targeting, killing, and assassination of Palestinian journalists," and called on human rights organizations and journalistic bodies around the world to "condemn these systematic crimes against journalists in Gaza."

It held "Israel, the US administration, and countries complicit in the crime of genocide, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, fully responsible for committing this brutal crime."

He called on the international community and international organizations to exert "effective pressure to stop the genocide and protect journalists and media professionals in Gaza."

On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to escalate the war on the Gaza Strip and implement US President Donald Trump's plan to displace Palestinians.

Four citizens were injured on Tuesday when settlers attacked two hikers in the Auja Spring, north of Jericho.

Local sources reported that settlers, under the protection of the occupation army, attacked citizens who were out for a picnic at the Auja Spring on the third day of Eid al-Fitr. They sprayed them with pepper spray and assaulted others, resulting in four citizens sustaining varying degrees of injuries and burns.

She added that the settlers took a herd of sheep with them and set them free to graze in the area, forcing the residents who had come for a walk to leave.

The Red Crescent Society explained that its crews in Jericho responded to a young man injured in a physical assault by settlers in the Auja Falls area. He was then transferred to the hospital, noting that the occupation army was refusing to release other injuries to the crews.

The Auja Spring has been the target of repeated attacks by settlers who have established several outposts in its vicinity over the past several years in an attempt to impose control over the area's land and waters and prevent residents from accessing them.

The US State Department on Monday blamed Hamas in response to a question about Israel's execution of 15 Palestinian medics and rescue workers who were exhumed from a mass grave in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

The 15 workers included eight from the Palestinian Red Crescent, five from the Civil Defense, and one UN staff member. Jonathan Whittall, head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Palestine, said evidence suggests that the first responders were shot dead by Israeli forces "one by one" and buried with ambulances and other vehicles.

"We bring them out in their uniforms and gloves. They were here to save lives. Instead, they ended up in a mass grave," Whittall said. "These ambulances were buried in the sand. There's a UN vehicle here, buried in the sand. It was buried by a bulldozer—an Israeli military bulldozer."

When asked about the UN statements at her press conference, US State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce immediately blamed Hamas. She said, "I can tell you that Hamas has abused civilian infrastructure for far too long, cynically using it to protect itself. Hamas's actions have put humanitarian workers in the line of fire."

Asked whether the United States would assess the situation given the possibility of Israeli forces using American weapons, Bruce said, "Everything that happens in Gaza is because of Hamas. Every dynamic."

According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, each body recovered had been hit by approximately 20 bullets. "The Israeli occupation forces executed the civil defense teams in a brutal manner," said Palestinian Red Crescent Society spokesman Mahmoud Basal.

The Israeli military admitted that its forces fired on ambulances in Rafah, but claimed it was a mistake. The Israeli military claimed that its forces killed Hamas militants during the incident, including a Hamas operative named Mohammed Amin al-Shoubaki. However, the Israeli military provided no evidence, and no other bodies were found at the scene.

Israeli occupation forces demolished a horse stable and other facilities in the town of Abu Dis, east of Jerusalem, on Tuesday, under the pretext of lacking a permit.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces demolished a number of facilities that provided livelihoods for dozens of families during their raid on Abu Hindi lands east of the town of Abu Dis.

According to the governorate's data, the demolitions included a horse stable in the town of Abu Dis, several barracks, and the bulldozing of a fence. A demolition notice was also served to a car wash in Abu Hindi, with the owner given 48 hours to carry out the self-demolition, or the occupation forces would carry out the demolition and impose heavy fines.

The sources indicated that the stable extends over an area of five dunams, houses more than thirty horses, and provides a source of livelihood for three families.

The death toll from the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has risen to 50,399, and the number of injuries to 114,583, since October 7, 2023.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that the death toll includes 1,042 dead and 2,542 injuries since March 18, when the occupation resumed its aggression on the Gaza Strip following the ceasefire agreement.

It explained that 42 dead and 183 injured people arrived at hospitals in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, and that a number of victims remain under the rubble and on the streets because ambulances and specialized crews are unable to reach them.

The Israeli occupation army issued new "evacuation orders" today, Tuesday, for citizens in large areas of the northern Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military spokesperson issued a statement warning citizens in the northern Gaza Strip to evacuate their homes and "move to shelters," noting that there are no shelters in the Gaza Strip.

He said, "A new warning to all residents of the Gaza Strip in the areas of Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia Project, Sheikh Zayed, and the neighborhoods of Al-Manshiya and Tel Al-Zaatar. This is a preliminary and final warning before the raid!"

US President Donald Trump announced that he may visit Saudi Arabia as early as next month, in what would be his first foreign visit since returning to power on January 20.

Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday night that the visit "could take place next month, or maybe a little bit later."

We will also visit Qatar, and maybe a few other countries.

The UAE is very important... so we will definitely stop in the Emirates and Qatar."

Trump visited Saudi Arabia in May 2017, his first foreign trip during his first term.

Saudi Arabia is a close partner of the United States in the Middle East and is currently hosting indirect talks on Ukraine led by Washington.

Despite Trump's excellent relations with the Saudi leadership, Riyadh has categorically rejected any "forced displacement" of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

In February, Trump proposed that the United States take control of the Gaza Strip for real estate development, after its residents were displaced to other countries, particularly Egypt and Jordan.

Saudi Arabia also rejects any normalization with Israel unless Tel Aviv agrees to the establishment of a Palestinian state.

During Trump's first term, several Arab countries normalized their relations with Israel under US-sponsored agreements known as the "Abraham Accords."

Morocco, Bahrain, and the UAE joined the Abraham Accords, while Saudi Arabia, through the Americans, engaged in preliminary talks with Israel aimed at normalizing relations between the two countries. All these efforts were disrupted by the outbreak of war in the Gaza Strip, following the unprecedented attack launched by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

The ongoing war in Gaza has led Saudi Arabia to reject any discussion of normalization until the war ends, Israel withdraws from the occupied Palestinian territories, and a Palestinian state is established.

In early February, the Saudi Foreign Ministry affirmed that Riyadh "will not cease its tireless efforts to establish an independent Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital..., and will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without that."

Yemen's Houthi rebels announced a US-led aggression on Monday night, targeting various areas east and south of the city of Saada in northern Yemen with a series of airstrikes.

"An American aggression on the city of Saada," the Houthi-run Al Masirah satellite channel said in a series of breaking news reports.

She added: "An American aggression with a series of raids on various areas east and south of Saada city."

She said: "An American aggression on the Takhiya area in Majz district, and on Sahar district" in Saada as well.

On Monday evening, the Houthis announced the downing of a US MQ-9 drone while it was carrying out "hostile missions" in the airspace of Ma'rib Governorate in central Yemen.

The United States did not immediately comment on the Houthi military spokesman's report.

However, US President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Monday that his country had eliminated a number of Houthi fighters and leaders in Yemen during its ongoing airstrikes over the past two weeks.

The Houthis did not immediately comment on Trump's remarks, nor have they announced the deaths of any of their leaders in recent days, despite dozens of deaths and injuries resulting from US airstrikes on several areas.

Over the past two weeks, the United States has intensified its airstrikes on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen to an unprecedented extent, resulting in deaths, injuries, and destruction of infrastructure, according to Houthi statements.

On March 15, Trump said he had ordered his country's military to launch a "major attack" against the Houthis in Yemen, before threatening to "completely destroy the Houthis."

The Houthis responded by asserting that Trump's threat "will not deter them from continuing their support for Gaza," and have resumed bombing sites inside Israel and ships in the Red Sea heading there, coinciding with Tel Aviv's resumption of its war of extermination against the Strip since March 18.

In solidarity with the Gaza Strip, the Houthis have been targeting Israeli-owned or Israeli-linked cargo ships in the Red Sea, or anywhere else they may reach, with missiles and drones since November 2023.

The Houthis halted their attacks following the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip in January. The attacks resumed when Tel Aviv resumed its war on the Strip on March 18.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) announced that 322 children were killed and 609 others injured over the course of 10 days as a result of "heavy Israeli shelling and ground operations" in the Gaza Strip following its violation of the ceasefire.

UNICEF explained in a statement that the intense and indiscriminate bombing, coupled with the complete halt of humanitarian aid to Gaza, has placed civilians in Gaza, especially children, at grave risk.

She warned that the number of child deaths could rise if basic needs, which Israel has been blocking for a month, are not met.

The organization noted that more than 100 children are killed or injured every day in Gaza, indicating that most of the children have been displaced and are living in dilapidated tents and destroyed homes.

The statement quoted UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell as stressing that children have been forced back into a deadly cycle of violence following the collapse of the ceasefire, and called on all parties to abide by their obligations under international humanitarian law.

She stressed that more than 15,000 children have been killed and more than 34,000 others injured over the past 18 months in Gaza, and that one million children have been displaced, deprived of their most basic needs.

The statement affirmed that UNICEF will continue to provide life-saving assistance and protection to children and their families despite all the risks, calling for the immediate evacuation of sick and injured children.

Three people were killed and four others injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting Beirut's southern suburbs, the Lebanese Health Ministry confirmed Tuesday. The Israeli military announced the assassination of a Hezbollah member in the attack, claiming he had "directed and assisted" Hamas fighters to carry out an operation against Israelis. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, however, stressed that this indicated "premeditated intentions" by Tel Aviv against Lebanon.

A joint statement issued by the Israeli army and the Israeli General Security Service (Shabak) stated that "Israeli army fighter jets, under the direction of the Shabak, attacked a Hezbollah member in the southern suburb of Beirut."

He added that he had recently been directing and assisting Hamas activists in an attempt to carry out a dangerous operation in the near future against Israeli civilians.

While the IDF statement did not specify the nature of the alleged "serious operation," it stated that the Hezbollah operative "posed a real and direct threat, and therefore the IDF and the Shin Bet security service acted to attack him in order to eliminate the threat."

This is the second Israeli airstrike targeting Beirut's southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold, since the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah went into effect on November 27.

The first raid occurred on Friday, targeting a building Israel said Hezbollah was using to "store drones." The raid came in response to two rockets fired from southern Lebanon at Israel, an operation for which no group claimed responsibility, and for which Hezbollah denied responsibility.

Following the raid, Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem asserted that his party could not accept Israel bombing the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital. Qassem said at the time, "We cannot accept an equation in which Israel invades Lebanon and acts as it pleases, while we watch. Everything has a limit."

Despite the ceasefire agreement, Israel continues to launch airstrikes on southern and eastern Lebanon, which it claims are targeting Hezbollah military targets. Israel also accuses the Lebanese state of failing to implement its part of the agreement, which calls for the dismantling of Hezbollah's military arsenal and removing the group from its borders.

The Israeli proposal, as part of the ceasefire negotiations and prisoner exchange deal with Hamas, includes several stages, including a gradual prisoner exchange and a temporary truce in the Gaza Strip. Israel insists on keeping its forces within the border buffer zone, which it is expanding on the ground inside the Strip.

This came according to what Israeli media reported on Monday evening, citing informed sources in Benjamin Netanyahu's government. The sources said that Hamas rejected the proposal in its current form, which it described as the "improved Witkoff proposal." This comes at a time when the Israeli army is expanding its ground operations in the northern and central Gaza Strip and preparing to launch a large-scale attack on the city of Rafah, where it has issued warning statements calling on residents to evacuate.

According to Israel's Channel 12, the Israeli offer calls for "the release of 10 Israeli prisoners in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners according to a key agreement to be agreed upon between the two parties," along with "the release of (American-Israeli) prisoner Idan Alexander as a 'goodwill gesture' toward US President Donald Trump." The initiative also includes a "40-day ceasefire."

The channel added that Israel is stipulating that Hamas provide "information on all Israeli prisoners, whether alive or dead, on the fifth day of the truce," and that "on the tenth day, the bodies of 16 Israeli prisoners will be handed over." During the truce, negotiations will be held to complete the next phase of the agreement.

The channel reported that Israel made it clear to the mediators that "any final agreement will include the Israeli army remaining within the security perimeter inside the Gaza Strip," referring to the "buffer zone" that Israel is expanding on the ground.

An Israeli official was quoted as saying, "The message conveyed to Hamas through mediators was: 'This is your last chance, and if the prisoners are not released, the gates of hell will open (on the Gaza Strip), as President Trump said.'"

The channel also noted that the displacement of residents, the expansion of isolation zones, and the tightening of the "logistical blockade"—a reference to the prevention of aid from entering the Gaza Strip—are measures aimed at pushing Hamas toward a "constructive stance" toward the Israeli offer, given the movement's rejection of the proposal in its current form.

For its part, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (Kan 11) reported that the Israeli proposal includes: "the release of 11 prisoners, including Idan Alexander," with Hamas committing to "provide information on the prisoners' status on the fifth day of the truce," and "the release of the bodies of 16 prisoners on the tenth day."

Kan 11 added that the compensation Israel will offer includes a "40-day ceasefire" and the "release of Palestinian prisoners according to the key used in the previous deal."

According to the channel, "Hamas rejected the proposal and expressed its willingness to release only five living prisoners." Israel did not set a deadline for Hamas to respond to the proposal, but it did convey a message that "rejecting the offer will be met with expanded ground operations in the Gaza Strip, increased military pressure, including the seizure of additional territory, and escalation of attacks."

"Kan 11" pointed out that "estimates at this stage indicate that the gaps between the two parties are still very large."

Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 65th consecutive day, and on the Nour Shams camp for the 52nd day, amid military reinforcements, raids, and the expulsion of residents from their homes.

Israeli occupation forces deployed military reinforcements toward the Nur Shams refugee camp, east of Tulkarm, as part of an ongoing campaign of raids targeting the area.

Eyewitnesses reported that late last night, occupation forces forced residents of the Jabal al-Salihin area inside the camp to leave their homes, amid widespread raids and searches of homes and residential buildings. Soldiers also opened fire in the al-Maslakh neighborhood inside the camp, with no reports of injuries.

Nour Shams camp is witnessing a continuous escalation by the occupation forces, which are imposing a siege on it, coinciding with raids by military vehicles, bulldozers, and infantry units into its neighborhoods, particularly in Al-Manshiyya and Al-Maslakh. This is accompanied by raids, vandalism, and burning of homes and infrastructure, and the forced displacement of residents, especially in Jabal Al-Nasr and Jabal Al-Salihin.

The occupation forces continue their siege of Tulkarm camp, and their heavy deployment in its neighborhoods, which have become almost empty of its residents after they were forcibly displaced from their homes, and completely devoid of any signs of life. This has affected the neighborhoods located on its outskirts, the last of which are the neighborhoods of Al-Hadaida and Al-Rabaia, accompanied by the complete destruction of the infrastructure and the sabotage, demolition and burning of homes and facilities.

At dawn on Tuesday, occupation forces raided the home of Ali Awda in the southern neighborhood of the city, searching it, vandalizing and destroying its contents, without any arrests being reported.

In a related development, Israeli occupation forces set up a flying military checkpoint at Far'oun Roundabout, the southern entrance to Tulkarm, and searched citizens' vehicles, disrupting traffic. Meanwhile, infantry units were deployed extensively throughout the city's streets and neighborhoods, as part of a crackdown on citizens and restricting their movement, especially during the Eid holiday.

Israeli occupation forces fired live ammunition at a vehicle driven by a woman as it passed through Al-Quds Open University Street in the northern neighborhood, before stopping and interrogating the woman. No injuries or arrests were reported.

From time to time, the occupation forces set up checkpoints on Nablus Road, obstructing vehicle traffic as part of a policy of restricting movement of citizens, especially after they closed sections of the road with earth mounds in both directions. This coincided with their seizure of a number of homes on the road, converting them into military barracks and stationing their vehicles in the vicinity.

The ongoing aggression on the city and its two camps has resulted in the deaths of 13 citizens, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens have also been injured and arrested, and more than 4,000 families have been forcibly displaced from the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps, along with dozens of families from the city's northern neighborhood after their homes were seized and a number of them converted into military barracks.

The aggression also caused widespread destruction to the infrastructure, including homes, shops, and vehicles, which were completely and partially demolished, burned, vandalized, looted, and stolen. 396 homes were completely destroyed and 2,573 partially destroyed in the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, in addition to the closure of their entrances and alleys with earth mounds.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned, on Monday, the Israeli occupation authorities' approval of a project to build a settlement road in occupied Jerusalem, which aims to strengthen the connection between Israeli settlements, in flagrant violation of international law and relevant UN resolutions.

In a statement, the organization warned of the danger of this step, which is part of a plan to annex the Ma'ale Adumim settlement to occupied Jerusalem and isolate occupied Jerusalem from its Palestinian surroundings, undermining the two-state solution.

The organization also renewed its call on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to assume its responsibilities by obligating Israel, the occupying power, to halt all policies of settlement, annexation, forced displacement, and genocide perpetrated against the Palestinian people, and to activate accountability mechanisms, including the imposition of international sanctions on Israel, the occupying power, for its repeated violations of international law.

The occupation forces imposed a curfew in the town from 5:30 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. on Monday, preventing residents from leaving their homes on the second day of Eid al-Fitr.
