ALBAWABA- Israeli settlers, backed by occupation forces, launched violent and coordinated attacks on the Palestinian village of Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah, setting fire to homes, vehicles, and private property in a renewed wave of settler terrorism across the occupied West Bank.
Ambushes kill Israeli soldiers as 80 Palestinians killed in Israeli assaults on Gaza aid zoneArmed settlers, under military protection, stormed the village while Israeli soldiers opened live fire directly at Palestinians, killing at least three and injuring seven others.
Palestinian ambulances attempting to evacuate the wounded were reportedly blocked by Israeli forces, deepening the humanitarian toll of the assault.
The attack is part of a growing pattern of systematic, ethnically driven violence carried out by settlers with tacit or open support from far-right Israeli ministers such as Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, both of whom have publicly advocated for forced displacement and the expansion of Israeli annexation in the West Bank.
Elsewhere in the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces continued the demolition of homes and infrastructure in the Nour Shams refugee camp in Tulkarm, displacing more families amid rising tensions.
Meanwhile, in the Gaza Strip, Israeli air and artillery strikes escalated, killing at least eight Palestinians, including women and children. A residential building in the Al-Shujaiya neighborhood east of Gaza City was bombed, and additional strikes hit the Al-Shati refugee camp to the west and areas near Al-Katiba in Khan Younis, south of the Strip.
