WAFA says the Gaza death toll rises to 73,110 amid continued Israeli ceasefire breaches, placing the war’s human cost at the center of the latest reporting.

“The Jerusalem Governorate said illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers have established another pastoral colonial outpost near the Ma’azi Jaba Bedouin community north of occupied Jerusalem, part of a rapidly expanding policy aimed at seizing Palestinian land and pushing Bedouin communities toward forced displacement”

In the West Bank, Arab News frames Palestinian leadership’s response to settler violence as inseparable from what it describes as the ongoing genocide and forced displacement in Gaza, aimed at undermining the Palestinian national project.

Arab News also reports that Palestinian leadership warned that the escalation, carried out with the direct protection and support of the Israeli army, necessitates immediate international intervention to provide international protection for the Palestinian people.

The same Arab News account ties the Gaza war context to West Bank incidents, including local officials saying three Palestinians were injured by rubber-coated metal bullets on Saturday after Israeli forces intervened during an attack by Israeli colonists on the village of Umm Safa, northwest of Ramallah.

Arab News says presidential spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh described organized terrorism by settler gangs against Palestinian settlements in Jenin, Nablus, Jerusalem, and Hebron as a dangerous escalation of violence.

Abu Rudeineh said the attacks had included assaults on homes and residents, the burning of agricultural land, the uprooting and destruction of olive trees, damage to private property, and the seizure of water sources.

In the same account, Marwan Sabbah, head of the Umm Safa Village Council, told the Palestine News Agency that Israeli colonists entered the outskirts of the village and stole four sheep before residents confronted them.

Sabbah added that Israeli forces then arrived and fired rubber-coated metal bullets at residents, injuring three people, and warned that Umm Safa was facing a systematic campaign of forced displacement as the village became surrounded by Israeli outposts.

WAFA reports that Israeli colonists on Wednesday evening seized a tract of land and agricultural structures belonging to the inhabitants of Qaryut, south of Nablus, according to security and local sources.

WAFA says colonists stormed eastern Qaryut and seized farmlands, agricultural sheds, and greenhouses, while preventing Palestinian inhabitants from approaching the area and raising Israeli flags in an apparent attempt to establish a new colonial outpost there.

The same WAFA account says colonists broke into a Palestinian-owned house under construction in the village of Deir Ammar, west of Ramallah, and wreaked havoc inside.

IMEMC News adds that the Jerusalem Governorate said illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers established another pastoral colonial outpost near the Ma’azi Jaba Bedouin community north of occupied Jerusalem, describing it as part of a rapidly expanding policy aimed at seizing Palestinian land and pushing Bedouin communities toward forced displacement.
