Today, Thursday, settlers erected a new awning near citizens' tents in Al-Farisiya in the northern Jordan Valley.

Human rights activist Aref Daraghmeh reported that settlers had erected a new pergola near residents' tents in the Ghazal al-Farsiyya spring in the northern Jordan Valley.

For months, the community has been suffering from a clear and dangerous escalation, with settlers erecting a number of arbors very close to residents' tents, in addition to raiding their tents at night.

Dozens of settlers stormed the Wadi al-Limon area in the village of Aboud, northwest of Ramallah, on Thursday.

Local sources reported that around 100 settlers stormed the Wadi al-Limon area of the village, from the direction of the Beit Aryeh settlement, which is built on private land. They attempted to destroy a water tank, which serves as a water collection point for a number of villages and towns north of Ramallah, when water is cut off, especially in the summer.

Eyewitnesses said that the settlers attempted to attack a citizen in the area with sharp tools, but he managed to escape.

In the town of Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah, dozens of settlers stormed the plain, placed the flags of the occupying state on buildings under construction, and set up several tents.

These violations by settlers coincide with calls to intensify their raids on Palestinian villages and towns.

Medical sources announced on Tuesday that the death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen to 52,418, the majority of whom are children and women, since the start of the Israeli occupation's aggression on October 7, 2023.

The same sources added that the death toll from the conflict has risen to 118,091 since the start of the aggression, while a number of victims remain trapped under the rubble, unable to be reached by ambulances and civil defense teams.

She noted that 18 martyrs and 77 injuries arrived at Gaza Strip hospitals over the past 24 hours, while the death toll and injuries since March 18, when the occupation violated the ceasefire agreement, has reached 2,326 martyrs and 6,050 injuries.

Local sources reported that five citizens, including children, were killed and others were injured when the occupation forces shelled a house in the western camp area, west of Khan Yunis. A citizen was also killed and others were seriously injured in artillery shelling that targeted the town of Khuza'a, east of Khan Yunis. Another citizen was killed by fire from an occupation drone that targeted him in the Al-Manara area, southeast of the city.

She added that two other citizens were martyred when the occupation forces' artillery targeted farmers east of Beit Lahia town in the northern Gaza Strip, and another citizen was martyred when the occupation forces' aircraft bombed a group of citizens on Al-Radhi' Street in the town.

She noted that a citizen was martyred in the occupation's shelling of the Shuja'iyya neighborhood east of the city, while another citizen was martyred in shelling that targeted the west of the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip. A citizen was also injured by Israeli drone fire near the Al-Basheer Mosque in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City.

Hamas expressed its strong rejection and condemnation on Thursday of the Swiss authorities' decision to ban the movement's activities, describing the decision as "a dangerous bias toward the Israeli occupation and a denial of the legal and humanitarian obligations" that neutral countries are supposed to adhere to.

In a statement, the movement expressed its regret over the issuance of this decision by a country like Switzerland, historically known for its neutral stance and defense of the principles of international humanitarian law.

Hamas considered this move to represent an unjustified bias against the Palestinian people and their just cause, and a challenge to the legitimacy of their legitimate resistance against the occupation, especially in light of the ongoing "war of genocide" waged by the Israeli occupation against the Gaza Strip.

The Swiss government announced on Wednesday its decision to ban Hamas and all groups associated with it. The new law will take effect on May 15.

The decision includes a ban on all movement activities within Swiss territory, as well as a ban on any form of support for it, whether financial or logistical. The law also grants authorities the power to impose entry bans on individuals associated with the movement and deport them from the country.

This decision comes as part of what Swiss officials described as efforts to block the use of Swiss territory as a financial or logistical center for Hamas activities.

They explained that the ban aims to enhance internal security and prevent support for those classified by Switzerland as terrorist groups.

Switzerland joins a growing list of European countries that have taken similar decisions, including Germany, which banned Hamas in November 2023, less than a month after the movement's "Operation Breaking Dawn" on October 7 of the same year.

The United States, the European Union, Canada, and the United Kingdom have all previously designated Hamas as a "terrorist" organization and imposed a comprehensive ban on its activities.

Israeli occupation forces arrested a Palestinian citizen on Thursday, and settlers attacked Palestinian property in the Masafer Yatta area, south of Hebron.

Media activist Osama Makhamreh said that the occupation forces arrested Ibrahim Ismail al-Nawaj'a from the Wadi Ajheesh community in the Masafer Yatta area, after he was chased by settlers who prevented him from entering the pastures.

He added that settlers vandalized a fence surrounding the land of Hassan Ali Nawaja'a in the village of Susya in the Masafer Yatta area.

He pointed out that the settlers and the occupation army are constantly persecuting shepherds and assaulting citizens and their property with the aim of displacing them from their lands for the benefit of colonial expansion.

The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp for the 101st consecutive day.

During the ongoing aggression, the occupation forces continue to send additional military reinforcements towards the camp and its surroundings.

During this time, the city is witnessing the deployment of infantry units in several of its neighborhoods, while most of the governorate's villages are witnessing daily military movements and the constant presence of occupation patrols and vehicles.

Since the beginning of the aggression on the city and camp on January 21, 40 people have been killed, in addition to dozens of injuries and arrests.

The occupation forces continue to carry out extensive bulldozing and destruction operations inside the camp, aiming to alter its features and structure, while continuing to prevent entry or access to it. Concerns have increased with the occupation forces' recent installation of iron gates at the camp's entrances. Official estimates indicate that all homes and facilities in the camp have been completely or partially damaged as a result of the ongoing aggression and ongoing destruction and bulldozing operations.

In addition to the extensive damage to the camp, Jenin Municipality estimates that 800 housing units in the city have sustained partial damage, in addition to 15 buildings that have been demolished in the city since the beginning of the aggression, with the majority of the damage concentrated in the eastern neighborhood and the Al-Hadaf neighborhood.

Camp families, along with hundreds of families from the city and surrounding areas, remain forcibly displaced to this day. Official estimates from the Jenin Municipality indicate that the number of displaced persons from the camp and city has exceeded 22,000.

The economic situation in Jenin continues to deteriorate, with massive commercial losses recorded as a result of the aggression, which has led to numerous commercial closures and the halting of shopping traffic to and from the city. Furthermore, bulldozing and destruction of infrastructure on the streets have resulted in the damage to a large number of shops. Meanwhile, some areas of the city are experiencing complete economic paralysis, especially in the western neighborhoods.

Al-Aqsa Mosque witnessed a new incursion on Thursday morning by a group of settlers, under heavy protection from the Israeli occupation police. The incident occurred as part of the celebration of what is known as "Independence Day" according to the Hebrew calendar, which coincides with the anniversary of the declaration of the establishment of Israel on Palestinian land.

According to the Islamic Waqf Department in Jerusalem, settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound from the Mughrabi Gate, chanting Talmudic hymns and performing what is known as the "epic prostration," in an attempt to demonstrate their religious rituals inside the Noble Sanctuary.

They also distributed occupation flags and festive clothing in an attempt to establish a symbolic presence inside Al-Aqsa and give the place a Jewish character.

These raids were accompanied by heightened military measures in the Old City of Jerusalem, where occupation forces obstructed worshippers' entry to the mosque and confiscated many worshippers' ID cards at the gates, in a clear effort to limit Palestinian presence and prevent any response to these violations.

These developments come amid a marked escalation in settler incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque, particularly during Jewish holidays and religious occasions. The so-called "Temple" groups are seeking to impose a new reality within the mosque by intensifying incursions, performing public Talmudic rituals, and promoting the construction of a "Temple" in place of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Jerusalemites and Islamic religious bodies warn of the danger of these attempts to alter the historical and religious status quo at the mosque, stressing that these measures represent a blatant violation of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the rights of Muslims there, and open the door to further escalation.

Meanwhile, popular and official Palestinian calls continue to mobilize and defend Al-Aqsa Mosque and confront these repeated incursions, which represent part of a broad Judaization plan targeting the Noble Sanctuary as part of the occupation's policies to impose Israeli sovereignty over it and divide it temporally and spatially.

The World Food Programme has expressed grave concern, warning of the potential for deaths from severe malnutrition among civilians, particularly as the humanitarian situation deteriorates and aid access is obstructed.

The UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Michael Fakhri, accused Israel of committing serious crimes in the Gaza Strip, noting that what is happening there amounts to genocide and war crimes, with the systematic use of starvation as a weapon against civilians.

"Israel is using the lives of Palestinian children as bargaining chips," Fakhri said, emphasizing that the United Nations has used all available legal and humanitarian terms to describe the scale of the atrocities being committed in the Gaza Strip.

The UN official added that Israel "systematically uses food as a weapon," referring to the severe restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid and the disastrous effects this has had on the population, especially children.

In the same context, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the occupied Palestinian territories (OCHA) stated that the number of children receiving treatment for malnutrition in Gaza due to the ongoing Israeli blockade and the closure of crossings has increased by 80% compared to last March.

The UN office noted in a statement that 92% of infants between the ages of 6 months and 2 years do not receive their minimum basic nutritional needs from their mothers, exposing them to serious health risks that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. It also noted that 65% of the population of the Gaza Strip lacks access to clean drinking water.

These statements come at a time of growing international concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza, amid warnings of a looming famine and assertions from human rights organizations that Israeli restrictions are causing unprecedented suffering for civilians.

Last night, settlers attacked a family's property near the Hamra military checkpoint in the northern Jordan Valley, stealing dozens of heads of livestock belonging to the same family.

Local sources reported that a number of settlers vandalized solar panels used for lighting, tore up some tents, damaged water tanker tires, and stole dozens of heads of livestock belonging to the same family.

In recent weeks, settlers have intensified their attacks on citizens' property and attempted to steal their sheep, in a clear plan to empty the Jordan Valley of its inhabitants.

The Israeli military continued its intensive air and ground attacks on various areas of the Gaza Strip on Thursday, amid mounting accusations of war crimes and massacres against civilians and displaced persons, and the continued starvation policy that human rights groups describe as amounting to genocide.

In the latest developments: Israeli warplanes launched a series of violent raids this Thursday morning targeting areas east of the al-Tuffah neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, coinciding with similar airstrikes targeting the northern Gaza Strip.

Two civilians were killed and another injured in an Israeli drone strike on the Al-Mawasi area, northwest of Rafah.

Meanwhile, three citizens were killed and others injured in an Israeli bombardment on the town of Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip.

It also launched airstrikes and artillery shelling targeting groups of displaced people in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.

Israeli warplanes launched airstrikes on the town of Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip, while sound bombs fell on Al-Salib Street in the center of Khan Yunis.

The Israeli bombing also targeted a group of displaced people in the Qizan Abu Rashwan area, south of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Areas northeast and north of the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip were subjected to heavy artillery shelling, along with the al-Zeitoun neighborhood and the vicinity of al-Maslakh Street east of Gaza City. Israeli drones also participated in targeting residential homes in densely populated neighborhoods.

This escalation comes at a time when Israeli military reports indicate the army is preparing to expand its ground operations in several areas of the Gaza Strip, with the aim of tightening its control over new territories. Meanwhile, Israeli sources say the goal of this escalation is to "pressure Hamas and push it to return to the negotiating table."

Firefighting efforts continue today, Thursday, to control the large-scale fires that broke out yesterday afternoon, Wednesday, in southwest Jerusalem. 119 firefighting crews are working in several active hotspots. Eight firefighting aircraft from Cyprus and Italy are scheduled to join the operations today.

Seventeen firefighters were injured while fighting the blaze, two of whom were taken to the hospital for treatment. Meanwhile, police reopened all roads that had been closed due to the spread of the fires this morning, according to a statement issued by the police.

According to estimates by the Israel National Fund (KKL), the fire consumed approximately 24,000 dunams, making it one of the largest in the country's history.

It was estimated that most of the Canada Forest was completely burned, while the Ishtaul Forest sustained significant damage.

In a related development, a situation assessment session was held last night as part of the emergency plan, during which it was decided to impose a ban on entry to a number of forests, nature reserves, and picnic areas, including Canada Park, Eshtaol Forest, and others in the mountains west of Jerusalem.

Police deployed security patrols in previously evacuated communities to prevent looting. Residents of the Neve Shalom and Nachshon settlements were also allowed to return to their homes late yesterday evening, after residents of Eshtaol were allowed to return earlier.

Several European countries, including Romania, France, Spain, Croatia, Italy, and Ukraine, have announced they will send firefighting aircraft to support the firefighting efforts. However, a fire service source indicated that international assistance may not be widely effective, given estimates that the fire will be brought under control before such aid arrives.

A federal court released Palestinian Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi on bail after a judge ordered his release from federal custody on Wednesday, weeks after he was detained by armed Department of Homeland Security agents in Vermont during his U.S. citizenship interview at the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Mahdawi, a 34-year-old permanent resident of the United States who was born and raised in the Far'a Palestinian refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, was arrested on April 14 and was being held at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, the Northwest Correctional Facility, in St. Albans, Vermont.

“I say it loud and clear to President Trump and his administration: I am not afraid of you,” Mahdavi said Wednesday in a Vermont courtroom after his release.

He added, "What we are witnessing now and what we understand is exactly what Dr. Martin Luther King once said: Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." From the bench, Judge Jeffrey W. Crawford ordered Mahdawi released from jail on bail pending a ruling on his habeas corpus petition.

The government asked Judge Crawford to suspend Mahdawi's release from prison for seven days by issuing a stay of execution order, but the judge refused.

Following Wednesday's hearing, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin issued a statement saying the judge would not prevent the Trump administration from "restoring the rule of law to our immigration system."

“It is an honor to be granted a visa or green card to live and study in the United States,” she said. “When you advocate violence, glorify, and support terrorists who take pleasure in killing Americans and harassing Jews, that privilege should be revoked, and you should not be in this country.”

The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to a request for comment. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio justified Mahdawi's detention, stating that "his presence and activities in the United States would have serious foreign policy consequences and would jeopardize US foreign policy interests," according to a Department of Homeland Security notice regarding Mahdawi's appearance.

Mahdawi, a green card holder, was a prominent organizer of pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University last year.

Ahead of the hearing Wednesday morning in Vermont, the government and Mahdawi's lawyers filed several court documents regarding his release, many of which were secretly recorded but which NBC News said it had reviewed.

In opposing Mahdawi's release, the government said law enforcement records indicate Mahdawi admitted to "engaging in and supporting anti-Semitic violence" and "possessing firearms for that purpose," according to court documents reviewed by NBC News.

The government attached two classified documents to its dossier. One piece of evidence, reviewed by NBC News, is a 2015 report from the Windsor, Vermont, Police Department, in which a gun shop owner told officers that Mahdawi "apparently told him" he was building machine guns "to kill Jews while in Palestine." But the shop owner's claim appears weak and fabricated.

In his statement, Mahdawi said he recalled visiting a gun store in Windsor, Vermont, but he was "absolutely certain that I never said the words falsely attributed to me in the report, either in that conversation or ever."

"I am a peaceful person and would never express a desire to harm or kill anyone," he wrote. "I am deeply saddened that these horrific words, which completely contradict my philosophy of life and spiritual beliefs, have been attributed to me."

Speaking to reporters outside the courtroom, Mahdawi's lawyers declared victory over what they described as "government retaliation" against Mahdawi's right to freedom of expression.

"Their claims and actions are baseless, unsubstantiated, and a disgrace to the Constitution of the United States," said Lona Drooby, a partner at Beldock Levine & Hoffman LLP. "We will continue to fight until Mohsen is finally released."

Mahdawi grew up in the Far'a Palestinian refugee camp in the West Bank, where most of his family lives, according to a court filing. When he was 15, he was shot in the leg by an Israeli soldier, according to the filing. He came to the United States more than a decade ago before enrolling at Columbia University in 2021, according to the filing.

The Trump administration has used a similar justification to detain other foreign students, mostly from Middle Eastern countries, who participated in pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses last year or criticized Israel. On March 8, immigration authorities detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian graduate student at Columbia University who helped lead student protests against the Gaza war on campus last year, at his New York City apartment. On April 11, a judge ruled that the Trump administration could deport Khalil, but Khalil was allowed to appeal the ruling while in US custody.

Similarly, Department of Homeland Security agents arrested Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk, who previously co-authored an article on Israel and the war in Gaza, on a suburban Boston street in March.

The two students, Halil Ozturk, remain in custody in Louisiana, where the federal court is complying with the Trump administration's orders.

Outside the courthouse on Wednesday, Mahdawi demanded their release. "Remember, yes, you may think I'm free, but my freedom is tied to the freedom of many other students, including Rumeisa Ozturk and Mahmoud Khalil." Mahdawi also called for an end to the war in Gaza and an end to US aid to Israel.

"We must defend humanity because the rest of the world, not just Palestine, is watching us," Mahdawi said. "And what happens in America will affect the rest of the world.

A number of citizens were killed and others were injured as a result of the Israeli occupation's bombing of Beit Hanoun, north of the Gaza Strip.

Medical sources announced Wednesday evening that citizen Kholoud Al-Najjar died of her wounds sustained when the occupation forces bombed her home in Qizan Al-Najjar, south of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, a few days ago.

Another woman succumbed to her wounds after an Israeli drone targeted a group of civilians inside the Zaytouna Café in Deir al-Balah a few days ago.

Medical sources confirmed that the death toll in the Gaza Strip, as a result of the ongoing Israeli airstrikes since dawn today, has risen to 29.

In the same context, the occupation's artillery targeted areas east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, near the eastern Mirage junction north of Rafah, and the eastern areas of the Shuja'iyya and al-Tuffah neighborhoods east of Gaza City, while Israeli warplanes launched a raid on the al-Manara neighborhood southeast of Khan Yunis.

A 27-year-old citizen was injured after being stabbed by settlers, this evening, Wednesday, south of Nablus.

According to local sources, a number of settlers attacked residents of the village of Duma, assaulting one of them and stabbing him in the back. He was then taken to the village's medical center for treatment.

The sources added that the settlers set fire to agricultural lands and burned olive trees in the western part of the village.

Clashes erupted Wednesday evening between citizens and Israeli occupation forces during their raid on the town of Beita, south of Nablus.

Local sources in the town said that occupation forces stormed the town, and clashes erupted, during which live and rubber-coated metal bullets, tear gas canisters, and sound bombs were fired.

Israeli occupation forces stormed the city of Qalqilya today, Wednesday.

According to local sources, occupation forces stormed the city from its southern entrance and deployed around Khallet al-Ra'i, without any arrests being reported.

A child was injured by Israeli occupation forces' bullets on Wednesday during a raid on the town of Yamoun, west of Jenin.

Red Crescent sources reported that a 13-year-old child was injured by live bullets in the hand and foot.

Local sources reported that occupation forces stormed the town, entered its southern neighborhoods, and detained a number of young men in the area.

The role of the "settlement department" in seizing Palestinian lands

"Peace Now" is a dangerous settlement arm that has silently seized thousands of dunams of Palestinian land, far from UN oversight.

A report published by the Peace Now movement revealed that "the settlement circle is involved in serious crimes, including the transfer of ownership and disposal of private Palestinian lands, dedicating them to Jewish settlement and religious ideology, and contributing to the displacement of Palestinians from their pastures and farms, with the support of the military and political echelons, and with generous financial support from successive Israeli governments."

"In recent years, it has become clear that the Settlement Division is deeply involved in illegal activities," Peace Now said in a detailed report. "Among the revelations is its allocation of private Palestinian land to settlers without the owners' consent, its management of the land without any oversight or financial compensation for leasing it, and its failure to collect debts arising from loans granted to settlers. This information is confirmed and has been repeatedly confirmed by the State Comptroller on several official occasions."

According to the 2005 Sasson Report, the department is extensively involved in establishing illegal settlement outposts on private Palestinian land.

The State Comptroller's Office stated that in February 2015, the Deputy Attorney General issued an advisory opinion in which he asserted that the powers and duties performed by the Settlement Division, a non-governmental body, fall within the core powers of government, and therefore the government may not delegate them to a non-governmental entity.

The opinion also prohibited the allocation of direct budgets to the department within the budget law or through direct financial transfers. This is because these funds are not granted to the department as the implementing body for a specific project pursuant to a tender or official contract. Rather, they are transferred to the department for the purpose of setting policies, prioritizing, and making decisions—tasks that should remain the exclusive domain of government agencies.

Subsequently, instead of dissolving the Settlement Division and transferring its powers to a government body, the Knesset passed an amendment in 2015 to the Law on the Status of the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency for the Land of Israel. This amendment aimed to enable the government to continue its activities in the West Bank through the Settlement Division. Among other things, the law mandated transparency in the division's financial management, but it ignored the core issue of its activities: the management of lands entrusted to it by the state.

MK Bezalel Smotrich, who initiated the law, said: "The management of state lands is a sensitive issue from a political and international perspective, and I don't want them to inform the European Union of every inch of land on which a settlement is built."

With the passage of this law, the situation was officially established that allows the Settlement Department to freely dispose of the lands transferred to it by the state, without any obligation to report or be transparent.

It is noteworthy that the "Settlement Department," which was established in 1971 as an independent unit within the World Jewish Organization, seized thousands of dunams of occupied Palestinian land and converted it into settlements. This is despite the fact that a large portion of it was private Palestinian land, seized and held in the name of the state, then for the benefit of extremist and "Haredim" settlers. The goal was to support the efforts of the Israeli government to establish settlements in the West Bank. The idea of its establishment was based on the idea of it being a non-governmental entity that ostensibly represents the "Jewish people," which allows it to carry out dubious tasks without the state having to directly carry them out. For years, the department operated away from the public eye, with full government funding, but without any public oversight or oversight.

The "settlement circle" continues to play a pivotal role in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, a matter of widespread concern to the international community. The lack of effective oversight of its activities increases the importance of implementing settlement projects, which are both effective and pose a significant threat to the region.

Amnesty International said in its annual human rights report that Israel is committing "live genocide" in front of the world's eyes.

“Since October 7, 2023 – when Hamas committed horrific crimes against Israeli civilians and others, and held more than 250 hostages – the world has witnessed a livestreamed genocide” from Gaza, said Agnes Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International, in the report’s introduction.

"States watched helplessly as Israel killed thousands upon thousands of Palestinians, wiped out entire families, and destroyed homes, livelihoods, hospitals, and schools," Callamard added.

The report stated that Israel committed the crime of genocide by killing Palestinian civilians, causing them serious bodily or psychological harm, and deliberately inciting living conditions intended to physically destroy Palestinians by causing forced mass displacement, obstructing or denying life-saving aid, and damaging or destroying infrastructure essential to life.

Amnesty International concluded in a report published in December 2024 that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. The United States rejected this conclusion and opposed the genocide lawsuit filed against Israel at the International Court of Justice, given the involvement of US officials due to US military aid and other forms of support to Israel.

Amnesty International's new report criticized some aspects of the domestic situation in the United States and the US government's support for Israel. Amnesty International stated, "The continued supply of munitions to Israel violates US laws and policies related to arms transfers and sales, which aim to prevent arms transfers that may contribute to civilian harm and violations of human rights or international humanitarian law."

Amnesty International said it had identified US-made bombs used in "unlawful, deadly airstrikes by the Israeli military on residential homes and a makeshift camp for displaced people in the occupied Gaza Strip."

It's worth noting that the administration of US President Donald Trump has declared its absolute support for the Israeli war of extermination in Gaza. President Trump even threatened Palestinian civilians in Gaza with death, saying "the fires of hell will open upon them," and that it would be better for them to leave Gaza so he can build his "Middle Eastern Riviera there."

Several reports indicated that Trump gave Netanyahu the green light to halt the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza since March 2 and to resume his war on Gaza on March 18. The Trump administration also maintained the Biden administration's massive and unconditional support for Israel's devastating war on Gaza, continuing to enable it to launch devastating attacks on Hezbollah and incursions into Syria and Lebanon. Washington is unlikely to pressure Israel over these measures, as evidenced by the recent massive Israeli strike on Beirut.

Israeli occupation forces seized a tractor and a trailer in the village of Jalboun, east of Jenin, on Wednesday.

Local sources reported that occupation forces seized an agricultural tractor and a trailer while transporting construction materials to a solar energy project affiliated with the village council and funded by the General Union of Local Authorities.

It explained that the solar power plant being built was connected to the village's water well, located on the southern side of the village, and had been licensed by the Water Authority.
