The military operation carried out by the Israeli occupation army in the city of Tubas and the towns of Aqaba and Tayaseer in the northern occupied West Bank continues for the fourth consecutive day.

This comes at a time when the occupation army raided several areas in the West Bank today and arrested 4 Palestinians, including a woman, while settlers attacked Palestinian vehicles with stones, injuring 4 Palestinians south of Bethlehem.

The "Walla" website reported that the Israeli army arrested about 100 suspects last night in the town of Tamoun in Tubas Governorate, and expelled more than 20 families from their homes in the town in search of what it claimed were "weapons."

The occupation forces had withdrawn last night from the al-Far'a camp after raiding it in the morning and searching its homes, and they also withdrew from the town of Tamoun after three days of military operations there.

A reporter stated that the occupation forces arrested about 190 Palestinians during this campaign, most of whom were released after being subjected to abuse and beatings under harsh conditions.

About 200 Palestinians were also injured due to the assaults by the occupation forces, with 80 of them transferred to hospitals for treatment, while the rest were treated on-site.

Regarding the incursions, the occupation army raided several areas in the occupied West Bank today and arrested 4 Palestinians, including a woman.

Local sources reported that the Israeli army arrested brothers Muhammad and Ahmad Nabil Ziyoud after raiding and searching their family's home in the town of Silat al-Harithiya west of Jenin in the northern West Bank.

The sources indicated that the army also raided the home of young man Iyad Jaradat and destroyed its contents in the same town, noting that Jaradat was one of those released in the recent exchange deal between the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Israel and was planning to celebrate his wedding this week.

In the neighboring town of Yamoun, the Israeli army arrested young man Muhammad Samoudi after raiding his family's home, according to local sources.

The occupation forces also arrested five citizens, including two children and a woman from Qalqilya Governorate, according to the Palestinian news agency.

The agency added that the occupation forces raided the city of Qalqilya from its eastern entrance, spread in the Kafr Saba neighborhood, and arrested two children and a young man during a raid on their homes, searching them and tampering with their contents.

The occupation forces also raided the village of Baqa al-Hatab east of Qalqilya from its main entrance, spread in the western neighborhood and the Bayader area, and carried out a wide raid on several homes, arresting two Palestinians during the raids and searches of their homes.

In the village of al-Tabaqa south of Hebron in the southern West Bank, Israeli soldiers removed Palestinian flags raised above a large water tank in the middle of the village.

Other areas of the West Bank witnessed Israeli incursions, with no reports of home raids or arrests.

The Red Crescent announced the injury of 4 Palestinians, including a woman, by gunfire from settlers during their assault on the Khalayil al-Lawz area in the city of Bethlehem in the southern West Bank.

Settlers attacked Palestinian vehicles with stones on Friday evening in the Wadi Qana area between Salfit and Qalqilya (north), with no reports of injuries.

This comes amid a continuous Israeli escalation in the West Bank that has resulted in the martyrdom of more than 1,085 Palestinians, the injury of nearly 11,000, and the arrest of more than 20,500 people since the start of the genocide war in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023.

Ten Palestinians were injured on Saturday as a result of an attack by Israeli settlers on the town of Khala'il al-Luz in the Bethlehem governorate in the southern occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent stated in a statement: "10 injuries, one of which was from live ammunition in the thigh, and 9 from beatings by settlers in the village of Khala'il al-Luz in Bethlehem, and 3 of them were transferred to the hospital."

For their part, local sources confirmed that Israeli settlers stormed the village and attacked several homes, setting fire to plastic houses designated for agriculture.

This attack comes as part of a continuous Israeli escalation in the West Bank for more than two years, which has included incursions, arrests, and assassinations, coinciding with the genocide that began in the Gaza Strip on October 8, 2023.

According to official Palestinian data, Israeli assaults in the West Bank by the army and settlers have resulted in the deaths of more than 1,085 Palestinians, injuries to about 11,000, and the arrest of more than 20,500 people since the escalation began.

The assaults have also targeted agricultural properties, with about 48,728 trees destroyed and uprooted, including 37,237 olive trees.

Global newspapers and websites have addressed the ongoing widespread destruction in the Gaza Strip despite the announcement of a ceasefire, criticizing what they described as the Trump administration's preoccupation with making political and economic deals at the expense of the crimes committed against Palestinians, alongside American moves to solidify the Russian occupation of Ukrainian territories.

Raz Siegel in The Guardian believes that the Israeli genocide that has turned Gaza into a devastated model has not stopped, pointing out that the ceasefire imposed by the Trump administration seemed to be a cover for arranging trade deals, while Israel continued its attacks and killed hundreds of Palestinians.

The writer emphasizes that Israel continued to bomb homes, prevent aid, and destroy residential infrastructure after October 10, making the ceasefire merely formal with no impact on the ground, as he expressed, amid the international community's inability to stop the violations.

In Haaretz, Amos Schocken wrote that Benjamin Netanyahu's government is working against Israel's interests by ignoring diplomatic opportunities, explaining that portraying the Palestinian state as a terrorist entity serves to maintain control over the occupied territories, despite repeated Security Council resolutions calling for an end to the occupation.

Schocken points out that the recent Security Council resolution reaffirmed the prohibition of annexing occupied territories, considering that Netanyahu's rejection of a Palestinian state aims to maintain Israeli control over areas designated by international resolutions for the establishment of the Palestinian state.

As for Yedioth Ahronoth, it quoted security officials saying that the incident in the town of Beit Jinn in the countryside of Damascus underscores the necessity of preventing any hostile groups from establishing a presence near the borders, considering Syria an unstable state, and that no agreement can be reached with it, and Israel should not withdraw from Mount Hermon.

Yesterday, Friday, the town of Beit Jinn in the countryside of Damascus witnessed an Israeli bombing that resulted in the death of 13 people, following the incursion of occupation forces into the town to arrest wanted youths, and the locals confronted them before their withdrawal, leaving behind a military vehicle.

In contrast, the newspaper noted that the Syrian Foreign Ministry condemned what it described as the Israeli attack on Beit Jinn, considering it a war crime and a violation of Syrian territorial sovereignty and a direct assault on the residents and their properties, according to the ministry's statement.

Le Monde writes that Iran is betting on France to launch new negotiations regarding its nuclear program after a long stalemate, noting that Trump believes that Iran's nuclear infrastructure was destroyed during the "12-day war" launched by Israel to disrupt Tehran's project.

The French newspaper adds that negotiations remain stalled due to the rigidity of Trump's and Tehran's positions, questioning whether Paris, which has played a key role in this file for years, has the ability to reopen the diplomatic track in the upcoming phase.

In The Telegraph, informed sources reveal that Washington is preparing to recognize Russia's control over Crimea and occupied Ukrainian areas in an effort to end the war, clarifying that Trump sent his envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Kushner to present a direct offer to Putin in Moscow.

The newspaper points out that the plan contradicts American diplomatic traditions and raises concerns among European allies of Kyiv, while other sources emphasize that Washington does not pay much attention to European concerns regarding the future of Ukrainian territories.

The Russian newspaper Izvestia discusses signs of limited normalization between Moscow and Washington, noting that dialogue continues on issues such as the new START treaty, despite the slow pace of consultations and lack of progress on issues of air travel and seized diplomatic properties.

The newspaper sees that the Ukrainian conflict remains the biggest obstacle to improving relations, as the United States links any political breakthrough to tangible progress towards resolving the war, while Moscow considers that American pressures prevent the restoration of normal relations.

The European Union Commissioner for Equality and Crisis Management, Haja Lahbib, stated that she intended to enter Gaza during her visit to Egypt, but Israel denied her request to cross.

This was mentioned in statements she made on Friday at the Rafah crossing. She pointed out that Palestinians are still being killed daily by the Israeli army, clarifying that 347 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire began, including 67 children.

On October 10, the first phase of the agreement came into effect, following a genocide carried out by Israel with American support against Gaza for two years since October 2023.

She added that she had planned to cross the border to see the situation in Gaza for herself, but Israel did not grant her entry permission, which saddened her greatly, noting that Gaza has turned into a graveyard for thousands of civilians, including relief workers.

She stated that about 600 aid workers have been killed while trying to save lives in one of the most dangerous places on Earth, adding that thousands of families in Gaza are living among the rubble without shelter or protection from the coming winter cold, warning that experts expect a catastrophic winter.

She reiterated the necessity of continuing the ceasefire and adhering to international law as the only way to protect civilians.

She said that it is necessary to move from the first phase to the second phase, which includes disarming Hamas and releasing the remaining prisoners.

She noted that the delivery of some aid to Palestinians in Gaza has begun, but this is not enough, emphasizing the need to open all crossings.

The Israeli genocide in Gaza has left more than 69,000 dead and 170,000 injured Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, along with massive destruction, with the cost of reconstruction estimated by the United Nations at about $70 billion.

In a field development in the southern Gaza Strip, an airstrike carried out by an "Israeli" drone resulted in two new casualties in the eastern town of "Bani Suheila".

Medical sources from "Nasser Hospital" confirmed the arrival of the bodies of two martyr children, who were killed due to a direct targeting by the occupation forces that hit a group of citizens who were near the "Al-Farabi" school, located within the area locally known as "inside the yellow line" east of Khan Younis city.

A report from the Lebanese Ministry of Health stated on Friday that the Israeli occupation state has killed 335 Lebanese and injured 973 others in 1,038 attacks since the signing of the ceasefire agreement in November 2024.

The ministry added in a statement that "the toll of 1,308 Israeli attacks on Lebanon, since the signing of the ceasefire agreement between 28/11/2024 and 27/11/2025, has reached 335 martyrs and 973 wounded."

On a daily basis, the occupation state violates the ceasefire agreement in effect with Hezbollah since November 27, 2024, which was supposed to end its aggression.

The occupation forces have breached the agreement at least 10,000 times, according to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) a few days ago.

Israel also defies the agreement by continuing to occupy five Lebanese hills in the south that it seized during the last war, in addition to other Lebanese areas it has occupied for decades.

On Thursday, the Israeli occupation army launched strikes and destroyed infrastructure it claimed belonged to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

The Lebanese National News Agency reported that "Israeli warplanes carried out an aerial aggression targeting the Mahmoudiya and Jarmaq areas" north of the Litani River in southern Lebanon.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam stated on Thursday that Lebanon is "in a one-sided war of attrition, and it is escalating."

In a subsequent statement marking the anniversary of the ceasefire agreement, the Israeli army claimed that since the ceasefire came into effect, it has carried out "1,200 focused operations" aimed at "destroying terrorist infrastructure and thwarting attempts to gather intelligence... and striking the military capabilities" of Hezbollah, according to its claims.

According to the statement, the army alleged that since then it has targeted "370" members of Hezbollah, Hamas, and various Palestinian factions.

Informed sources regarding the negotiations concerning the fate of the fighters of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas trapped in the tunnels of Rafah have reported that discussions are ongoing in an effort to reach a solution to this crisis.

A Hamas leader stated that "negotiations and communications with the mediators (Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt) and the Americans are continuing in an effort to resolve the crisis."

A Palestinian source familiar with the negotiations confirmed that this issue was discussed this week, while a source in one of the mediating countries stated that the United States, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey are working to reach a settlement that would allow Hamas fighters to exit the tunnels located behind the "yellow line" in southern Gaza.

On Wednesday, the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" condemned the Israeli occupation's pursuit of its trapped fighters in the Rafah tunnels for their elimination, asserting that this constitutes a blatant violation of the ceasefire.

The movement stated in a statement that it has made significant efforts to resolve their issue, but the Israeli occupation has undermined them, calling on the mediators to act swiftly to bring them back.

Hamas added that "the brutal crime committed by the occupation through the pursuit, elimination, and arrest of the mujahideen trapped in the tunnels of Rafah city is a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and a damning evidence of the ongoing attempts to undermine and destroy this agreement."

The statement indicated that Hamas "has made significant efforts over the past month with various political leaders and mediators to resolve the fighters' issue and return them to their homes, and has presented specific ideas and mechanisms to address this problem."

The statement also clarified that Hamas presented this "in full communication with the mediators and the U.S. administration as one of the guarantors of the ceasefire agreement, but the occupation undermined all these efforts, prioritizing the language of killing, crime, pursuit, and arrest, thwarting the efforts of the mediators who have worked hard with various international parties to put an end to the suffering of these heroic fighters."

Hamas held the Israeli occupation "fully responsible for the lives of our mujahideen," calling on "the brother mediators to take urgent action to pressure the occupation to allow our sons to return to their homes, as they represent a unique model of sacrifice, heroism, and patience, and a symbol of the dignity and freedom of the Palestinian people."

There are various movements and associations for settlement, which are advanced tools for entrenching and expanding settlement and attempting to Judaize the occupied Palestinian territories. Since Israel's occupation of the West Bank in 1967, successive Israeli governments have established hundreds of settlements, housing more than 700,000 settlers.

After the June 1967 war, the ruling Labor Party in Israel at the time laid the foundation for the settlement project in the West Bank, according to the Hebrew news site 'Mida'. This project was named 'Allon Plan', which focused on seizing Palestinian lands under the guise of 'military and security purposes'.

The main settlement movements include 'Gush Emunim', 'Amana', 'Nahala', and 'Elad'. Each plays a role in expanding settlement, with 'Gush Emunim' seeking to build the largest number of settlements, while 'Amana' focuses on settling mountainous areas. 'Nahala' supports the expansion of the settlements' influence, and 'Elad' aims to develop the Old City of Jerusalem.

The Israeli failure on Friday, which manifested in the injury of 6 soldiers and the failure to withdraw their vehicle after an incursion into the village of "Beit Jann" in the southern countryside of Damascus, Syria, at dawn to arrest two individuals, drew criticism from military leaders.

The operation began around three in the morning, where soldiers from the 55th Reserve Brigade and the 210th Division launched an operation to arrest two brothers in the town of Beit Jann on the slopes of Mount Sheikh in Syria, based on intelligence gathered in recent days.

The brothers were arrested in their beds without any resistance, and reports claimed that they were members of what was referred to as "the Islamic group organization."

Six Israeli soldiers were injured, including three with serious wounds, on Friday after residents in the town of "Beit Jinn" in the countryside of the Syrian capital Damascus confronted an Israeli force that had infiltrated the town and engaged in clashes with it before withdrawing.

The army stated in a statement that a force from the reserve brigade (55) operating under the command of the 210th division had infiltrated the village to "arrest wanted individuals," claiming they belong to a group called "the Islamic Group Organization."

It added that the Israeli force "came under fire from armed individuals in the area, resulting in the injury of three officers and three soldiers, including two officers and a soldier with serious injuries."

It clarified that the army responded by opening fire and carried out airstrikes on the village, claiming "the operation was completed, all wanted individuals were arrested, and others were killed."

The army mentioned that its forces "are still deployed in the area and will continue to act against any threat," according to its claims.

Earlier, the Syrian government channel "Al-Ikhbariya" reported that a number of dead and wounded fell as a result of Israeli airstrikes on the town of Beit Jinn in the Damascus countryside.

It explained that the bombardment came after the residents of Beit Jinn surrounded an Israeli military patrol and engaged with it during its incursion into the town before its withdrawal.

The town of Beit Jinn is located on the slopes of Mount Hermon and is only about 10 kilometers from the border separating it from the occupied Golan Heights and Israel. It has repeatedly been subjected to various Israeli military operations, including air and artillery bombardments and temporary ground incursions.

Although the Syrian government has not posed any threat to Tel Aviv, the Israeli army repeatedly infiltrates the Arab country and conducts airstrikes that have killed civilians and destroyed military sites, vehicles, weapons, and ammunition belonging to the army.

A Palestinian was martyred and a girl was injured today, Friday, by the fire of the Israeli occupation army as part of its ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, coinciding with renewed airstrikes and gunfire in various areas of the sector.

Medical sources reported that an Israeli drone targeted the "Ramida" area in Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis, resulting in the martyrdom of Palestinian Abdullah Hamad, whose body was transferred to Nasser Hospital.

The targeted area is located within what is known as the "yellow line," which is controlled by the occupation army under the ceasefire agreement, and it continues to control about 53 percent of the total area of the Gaza Strip.

In a related context, a Palestinian girl was moderately injured due to heavy gunfire from Israeli vehicles directed at the tents of displaced persons in the Mawasi area, northwest of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip.

This area is inhabited by tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians, who were displaced from their homes in several areas of the sector.

The "Hamas" movement and the Israeli occupation reached a ceasefire agreement mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, with American sponsorship, which entered its first phase on October 10 of last month.

During the early hours of dawn and morning, the Israeli warplanes launched several violent airstrikes east of Khan Younis and northeast of Rafah in the southern sector.

In the waters off Khan Younis, Israeli warboats opened fire heavily, coinciding with the firing of incendiary bombs towards fishermen and the tents of displaced persons on the beach.

Israeli warboats also fired shells towards the coast of Gaza City, while artillery shelling was also recorded east of Khan Younis in the southern sector.

The Israeli occupation army continues its violations of the ceasefire it signed with Hamas, having committed about 497 violations since October 10, resulting in the deaths of more than 342 Palestinians, according to the government media office in Gaza.

The Israeli genocide in Gaza, which began in October 2023 and lasted for two years, resulted in more than 69,000 martyrs and over 170,000 Palestinian injuries, most of whom are children and women, along with massive destruction, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at around 70 billion dollars.

A newspaper discussed the chances of moving to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement reached in the Gaza Strip, under a plan to end the war, noting that the chances of transitioning to the second phase are slim.

The newspaper clarified that unless solutions are provided for disarming Hamas and agreeing on a governing body for the Gaza Strip, the chances of moving to the second phase of the ceasefire are minimal, and the reality in the strip will remain one of rubble, waiting, and uncertainty.

It mentioned that the ongoing negotiations in Cairo regarding the second phase are making little progress, alongside both sides' lack of interest in advancing key issues.

It indicated that Israel is not interested in withdrawing from a large part of Gaza, while Hamas does not want to surrender its weapons.

It continued that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not wish for any additional withdrawal before the general elections scheduled for next year.

It pointed out that the presence of two Israeli corpses in Gaza justifies this delay in the eyes of Israeli and international public opinion.

The newspaper noted that Hamas is not prepared to disarm without a clear commitment to a complete Israeli withdrawal and a detailed plan outlining who will receive the weapons to be surrendered and who will carry out this process.

It added that a plan was discussed to grant weapons to the Palestinian Authority or any non-Palestinian Arab entity, but as long as there is no agreement, these solutions remain theoretical only.

It confirmed that Israel is still considering the military option as a means to disarm Hamas, and therefore it is not in a hurry to move to the second phase of the ceasefire.

It mentioned that Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar aim during their discussions in Cairo to solidify the ceasefire in Gaza and move forward with the 'next day' plan.

It addressed the international force supposed to be deployed in Gaza, which has yet to have its mandate defined, nor who will serve in it, nor how it will operate if Israel does not withdraw from half of Gaza under its control.

The bitter truth that we must face with courage, without evasion, and frankly is: the West Bank is being lost. The West Bank is being annexed meter by meter and inch by inch. The West Bank has completely changed. There is no longer a place for Palestinians except inside their large or small prison. Villages have turned into prisons. Cities are isolated from each other through barriers of humiliation, oppression, and killing.

Ethnic cleansing is ongoing. The war of extermination and displacement continues in Gaza and the West Bank. There is no room for niceties. This is what Oslo and the Osloites have brought upon us. This is what the advocates of "closing the loopholes" have brought upon us by surrendering means of resistance and security coordination.

The people here have lost hope for a just solution. After Gaza and the global conspiracy embodied in UN Security Council Resolution 2803, which legitimizes permanent occupation, permanent colonization, and the separation between Gaza and the West Bank, criminalizes resistance, and withdraws all its capabilities.

The Palestinian Authority is on the verge of collapse under dual pressure: the weight of Israeli occupation and the disconnection of the authority from the concerns and suffering of the people in the face of settler attacks, incursions, daily killings, and arrests.

The settler savagery and violence practiced by settlers have reached an indescribable and unbearable level. People here feel they have been left to their fates alone without protection.

The Israeli authorities have distributed more than 120,000 firearms and 157,000 gun licenses to settlers in the West Bank, and have eased restrictions on gun ownership.

The residents of Palestinian villages have been cut off from their lands where settlement outposts have been established around every village in an arc shape. The outpost may consist of a tin house or a tent inhabited by one person or a family.

One teacher told me that she has been receiving half her salary for three years. In return, the school opens its doors to children for only three days.

The last concern of the Palestinian people is elections. President Mahmoud Abbas has called for municipal council elections. But on the condition that they take place according to his terms.

The ongoing killings, incursions, raids, house demolitions, settler violence, and humiliation barriers lead to displacement.

The fate of the truce remains uncertain, depending on the mediators' ability to convince the occupation to choose a non-military option to resolve this crisis.

Informed sources confirmed that discussions are ongoing to reach a solution for the crisis of Hamas fighters trapped in the tunnels of Rafah in southern Gaza.

In a first-of-its-kind public step, Hamas called on the mediating countries to pressure the occupation to allow its fighters to exit through a "safe corridor."

The Ministry of Justice of the occupation announced on Thursday the indictment of "terrorism" against a settler accused of beating a Palestinian woman with a stick, causing her serious injuries in an incident that occurred in the village of Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.

Charges related to terrorism are rarely brought against settlers in the area, which adds significance to this judicial decision.

The incident took place during the olive harvest season and was documented by one of the foreign volunteers accompanying the Palestinians.

The footage spread widely on social media.

Violence in the West Bank has escalated since Hamas's attack on the occupation in October 2023.

The United Nations described last October as the worst in terms of settler violence since 2006, with 264 attacks recorded.

The indictment, which was conveyed by the Ministry of Justice, detailed the crime: the accused is Ariel Dahari (24 years old) from the settlement of "Oz Yair".

The facts of the assault confirm that he "attacked a Palestinian woman and others among the olive pickers in an olive field."

The indictment added that he "struck the woman on her head and body using a wooden stick, and continued to beat her even after she fell to the ground," causing her severe injuries.

Dahari faces several charges including: "terrorist acts that intentionally caused serious injuries," "terrorist acts committed within an organized group," and "deliberate damage to a vehicle motivated by racism."

More than 500,000 settlers live in settlements in the occupied West Bank, which the United Nations considers illegal under international law.

The indictment of "terrorism" against a settler is a rare point in judicial dealings, reflecting the extent of international and media pressure on the authorities to hold perpetrators accountable amid rising settler violence.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir continued his inciting statements against Palestinians on Thursday, expressing his support for Israeli soldiers who cold-bloodedly executed two young men at point-blank range despite their surrender in the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank.

On Thursday, a video showed the Israeli army shooting at two Palestinian young men from point-blank range in the city of Jenin in the occupied northern West Bank, after they raised their hands and surrendered to the army.

Ben Gvir stated in a post on his page on the American platform "X": "I fully support the border guard fighters and the Israel Defense Forces who shot at wanted individuals coming out of a building in Jenin."

The extremist minister claimed that "the soldiers' actions were exactly as expected of them."

Earlier on Thursday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health stated in a statement that the General Authority for Civil Affairs (governmental) informed it of the "martyrdom of the two young men, Al-Montaser Billah Mahmoud Qassem Abdullah (26 years old) and Yusuf Ali Yusuf Asasah (37 years old), by the occupation's bullets in the Abu Thahir mountain area in Jenin, and the detention of their bodies."

For his part, Jenin Governor Kamel Abu al-Rub said: "The two young men raised their hands to the army, which shot at them and did not allow anyone to approach the area, preventing ambulances from transporting them."

Meanwhile, the Israeli army stated in a statement that it has opened an investigation into the circumstances of the incident in which soldiers shot at two Palestinian young men at point-blank range despite their surrender in the city of Jenin.

Ben Gvir is known for his inciting positions against Palestinians, including changes he made to the conditions of Palestinian prisoners following the outbreak of the Gaza war on October 8, 2023.

The far-right "Jewish Power" party, led by Ben Gvir, also presented a "bill" to the Knesset imposing the death penalty on Palestinians accused of "participating in the killing of Jews."

On November 11 of this month, the Knesset approved the bill in its first reading, with a majority of 39 members out of 120, against 16 who voted against it, according to the official Hebrew broadcasting authority.

However, it still needs to be voted on in second and third readings before it becomes an enacted law.

The Israeli army stated on Thursday that it has carried out "1,200 focused operations in southern Lebanon" over the past year, since the ceasefire agreement with "Hezbollah" came into effect on November 27, 2024, acknowledging its violation of the agreement that has been in place for a year.

On a daily basis, Israel violates the ceasefire agreement, having breached it "at least 10,000 times," according to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) a few days ago, resulting in the deaths of 331 people and injuries to 945 others, as of November 21, according to data from the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

The latest of these violations occurred earlier on Thursday, when Israeli aircraft launched a series of airstrikes on the towns of Mahmoudiya and Jarmak in southern Lebanon, claiming to "target Hezbollah infrastructure."

Channel 12 reported on Thursday that the Israeli occupation army announced the opening of an investigation into the shooting of two Palestinians in Jenin, despite their 'surrender and raising their hands, posing no threat to the army forces.'

Palestinian media indicates that the incident represents an execution 'in cold blood' carried out within the city of Jenin.

Palestinian reports confirmed that the incident occurred after a tight siege of their location.

The foreign ministers of France, Germany, Italy, and Britain strongly condemned the "significant increase" in violence by settlers against Palestinian civilians, calling on the occupation to protect the residents of the West Bank.

The European ministers affirmed that "these attacks must stop," emphasizing that they "sow terror among civilians and undermine the current efforts to achieve peace."

The ministers also welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump's stance opposing the annexation of the West Bank, reiterating their opposition to "any form of annexation, whether partial or total or de facto."

Two Palestinian children were injured on Thursday evening by Israeli army fire in the Jenin refugee camp, in the northern occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent stated in a statement that its teams dealt with two injuries to children from live bullets in the thigh in the Jenin camp, and they were transferred to the hospital.

This comes amid an escalation of the extensive military operation being carried out by the Israeli army in the northern occupied West Bank, specifically in the Jenin and Tubas governorates.

Earlier, eyewitnesses reported that Israeli forces surrounded a house in the Abu Zuhair neighborhood of Jenin city and arrested at least one citizen after storming the building, amid a heavy presence of infantry units and special forces in the vicinity of the neighborhood.

On Tuesday evening, the Israeli army launched Operation "Five Stones" in the northern West Bank, and Hebrew media reported that the army plans for the operation to continue for several days.

These developments are part of a continuous Israeli escalation in the West Bank for more than two years, characterized by incursions, arrests, and assassinations.

The newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth" reported today, Thursday, that there are 3 obstacles preventing the start of the second phase of the ceasefire agreement between the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Israel.

On October 10, the first phase of the agreement came into effect, following a genocide waged by Israel with American support against Gaza for two years since October 2023.

According to the newspaper, these obstacles include Israel's failure to recover the remains of two detainees held in Gaza, the fate of Hamas fighters in Rafah (south), and the formation of an international stabilization force.

1- Recovery of the bodies Yedioth Ahronoth stated that "Washington is pressuring Israel to move towards the second phase of the agreement, but Israel insists on recovering the bodies of the remaining two hostages first."

Hamas claims it has handed over all 48 Israeli detainees, while Israel asserts that the movement still holds the bodies of two detainees.

According to the newspaper, "Israel continues to pressure Hamas to identify the location of the remains and return them, refusing to reopen the Rafah crossing or expand humanitarian aid, or discuss further withdrawals."

It quoted Israeli officials saying that "once the two bodies are recovered, Israel will begin discussions on various aspects of the reconstruction of Gaza."

2- Rafah fighters According to the newspaper, the second obstacle to starting the second phase is the fate of Hamas fighters holed up in tunnels beneath Rafah.

It stated that "Israel has expressed a willingness to allow them safe passage to a third country, but no country has agreed to receive them."

3- The international force The third obstacle, according to the newspaper, is "the difficulties in forming the international stabilization force" scheduled to be deployed in Gaza.

It said, "So far, only a few Arab and Islamic countries have agreed to contribute thousands of soldiers."

It added, "Azerbaijan initially expressed its readiness to send troops, but it seems to have backtracked."

Yedioth Ahronoth quoted an informed Israeli official saying that "there is no progress in assembling the stabilization force."

He added, "In any case, they (the soldiers) will need training and preparation before deployment. This is the main issue that the Americans need to resolve."

On Thursday, Channel 14 reported that the United States has set mid-January for the start of the deployment of the international stabilization force in Gaza.

The United Nations Security Council adopted a U.S. draft resolution on November 18, allowing for the establishment of a temporary international force to be deployed in Gaza until the end of 2027.

The Israeli genocide against Gaza has resulted in more than 69,000 martyrs and 170,000 Palestinian injuries, most of whom are children and women, along with massive destruction, with the cost of reconstruction estimated by the United Nations at around $70 billion.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) announced on Thursday that 32,000 people are still displaced from camps in northern occupied West Bank due to ongoing Israeli military operations since the beginning of this year.

This was stated in a press release on Thursday by UNRWA's Director of Operations in the occupied West Bank, Roland Frederick. Frederick said that 32,000 residents of the camps in northern West Bank are still forcibly displaced, adding that the Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams camps have been completely emptied due to Israeli military operations since January 21.

He indicated that the residents of the three camps remain forcibly displaced after these camps have turned into "ghost towns," despite having been "vibrant with life previously." He explained that the Israeli army has continued in recent days to issue new demolition orders under the pretext of "military purposes," noting that the latest of these orders includes the total demolition of 12 buildings in the Jenin camp and partial demolition of 11 other buildings, set to begin on Friday.

Frederick pointed out that March and June of last year witnessed collective demolition orders affecting more than 190 buildings in the Jenin camp, in addition to the destruction of 20 other buildings through controlled explosions in February.

He affirmed that this "systematic destruction contradicts the fundamental principles of international law" and only serves to "enhance the long-term control of the occupying army over the camps."

The UN official emphasized that these areas "need rebuilding, not further destruction," and that "their residents must be allowed to return to their homes and restore their lives."

He clarified that the Israeli army began a wide-scale military operation on January 21, which started from the Jenin camp and then expanded to include the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps.

These developments come amid a continuous Israeli escalation in the West Bank for more than two years, characterized by incursions, arrests, and assassinations, coinciding with the genocide that began in the Gaza Strip on October 8, 2023, and has continued for two years.

According to official Palestinian data, Israeli assaults in the West Bank by the army and settlers have resulted in the deaths of more than 1,083 Palestinians, injuries to about 11,000, and the arrest of more than 20,500 individuals since the escalation began.

The United States has set mid-January 2026 as the date to begin deploying the international stabilization force in the Gaza Strip, specifically in the Rafah area, where Israeli occupation soldiers are removing mines and remnants of bombs in the relevant areas.

Israeli Channel 14 reported on Thursday: "According to the timeline set by the U.S. administration, the first batch of soldiers from the International Stabilization Force (ISF) is scheduled to arrive in the Gaza Strip in mid-January 2026."

It added: "The force is set to be deployed in the Rafah area (south), and Israeli army soldiers in the region are removing mines and remnants of bombs in the relevant areas."

On November 18, the UN Security Council adopted by majority a U.S. draft resolution regarding the end of the Israeli war in the Gaza Strip, which authorizes the establishment of a temporary international force until the end of 2027.

In a general session, 13 members of the council voted in favor of the draft, while Russia and China abstained from voting, allowing the council to adopt the resolution that authorizes the establishment of a "temporary international force to stabilize the Gaza Strip."

According to the Israeli channel, "a senior official at the Civil-Military Coordination Center in Kiryat Gat (southern Israel) set the end of April as the deadline for completing the disarmament process in the Gaza Strip."

He stated: "Both objectives, especially the second, are extremely ambitious, in addition to being separate from the field situation."

No immediate comment was issued by the United States, Hamas, or the mediators regarding what the Hebrew channel reported.

The Security Council welcomed President Donald Trump's 20-point plan to end the conflict in Gaza, issued on September 29, 2025.

It also welcomed the establishment of the Peace Council as a "transitional administrative body with international legal personality responsible for setting the framework and coordinating funding for the reconstruction of Gaza according to the comprehensive plan."

The resolution authorizes member states cooperating with the Peace Council and the council "to establish a temporary international force to stabilize Gaza, deployed under a unified command" accepted by the council, according to the United Nations website.

Washington proposed the draft resolution to complete the stages of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas that has been in effect since October 10.

The agreement halted a genocide initiated by Israel on October 8, 2023, in Gaza with U.S. support, which lasted for two years, resulting in approximately 70,000 Palestinian martyrs, around 171,000 injured, and massive destruction affecting 90 percent of civilian infrastructure.

The United States is still in contact with several countries to ensure their participation in the international stabilization force.

A Palestinian youth was martyred by the occupation forces in the town of Qabatiya in northern West Bank, coinciding with the ongoing military operation of the occupation army in the Tubas governorate.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health stated that the young man, Osama Yasser Kmeil, was martyred last night by the occupation's bullets in the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin.

At the same time, the occupation army continues its military operation in Tubas for the second consecutive day, targeting 5 areas in the governorate by deploying large forces, conducting raids, searches, and detaining Palestinians.

A reporter reported that 15 Palestinians were injured as a result of assaults by the occupation, including an elderly man over 80 years old, and the occupation detained 70 others yesterday, Wednesday.

The director of the Palestinian Red Crescent in Tubas, Nidal Odeh, stated that the occupation obstructed ambulances from reaching the town of Tamoun, where a military checkpoint was established at the town's entrance, and crews and patients were searched.

The occupation forces announced the killing of 3 Palestinians and the injury of 10 others following hours of launching their military operation in Tubas yesterday morning, Wednesday.

The occupation forces imposed a curfew and siege on the city of Tubas, the Al-Far'a camp, and the villages of Aqaba, Tamoun, and Tayaseer, in addition to several gatherings and areas in the northern Jordan Valley.

Many homes were raided, and some were turned into military barracks.

The Israeli occupation army had announced the start of a wide military operation in the area in cooperation with the internal security service (Shabak) and border guards, involving fighters, helicopters, and drones.

Based on what it claimed was intelligence information about activities suspected of being linked to armed Palestinian organizations and monitoring the establishment of infrastructure to target the army.

The Maariv newspaper quoted sources in the army stating that the operation came after monitoring an increase in attempts to carry out Palestinian operations in recent weeks.

There was a movement aimed at re-establishing armed brigades.

The occupation army stated that special forces are combing dozens of buildings and interrogating suspected Palestinians in the area, confirming that the operation will continue "to prevent the entrenchment of terrorism and eliminate any security threat."

In contrast, the governor of Tubas, Ahmad Al-As'ad, stated that what is happening is the implementation of the "Alon" settlement project, imposing new realities and controlling Palestinian lands.

In other developments, the occupation forces carried out raids and arrests at dawn today in the cities of Qalqilya and Tulkarem in northern West Bank.

Palestinian media reported that occupation soldiers raided a house in the Kafr Saba neighborhood in Qalqilya, as well as stormed the Dhannaba suburb east of Tulkarem.

Earlier, a reporter stated that Israeli forces, accompanied by military reinforcements and bulldozers, stormed the city of Tulkarem and headed towards the Nur Shams camp, where they carried out expansion and leveling operations in the camp.

In the Shuafat camp north of occupied Jerusalem, a Palestinian youth was injured by the bullets of the occupation forces during their incursion into the camp.

The Palestinian news agency reported from the Jerusalem governorate that a young man was injured by rubber-coated metal bullets fired by the occupation forces during their incursion into the entrance of Shuafat camp.

On another note, armed settlers assaulted homes and properties of Palestinians in various areas of the West Bank.

The assaults included the town of Silwad east of Ramallah, the Arab Al-Rashayda gathering southeast of Bethlehem, the town of Beita south of Nablus, and the villages of Jorish and Khillat Al-Hums.

The settlers carried out their assaults under the protection of the occupation forces, which prevented citizens from defending themselves and used tear gas to disperse them.
