Surveillance footage reportedly shows an Israeli armoured vehicle deliberately crashing into vegetable stands owned by Palestinians during a raid this morning in Tulkarm, in the occupied West Bank.

At least 50 Palestinians have been killed in the northern occupied West Bank since the Israeli army launched a major offensive in the area two weeks ago, according to the military.

I cannot stress enough how the situation in the West Bank is intensifying.

22 Palestinians killed in a single week. At least 5 Palestinians killed in two different airstrikes in Jenin in the last hours.

We are witnessing unprecedented violence from the Israeli military while settlers expand illegal settlements across the West Bank.

Things have grown tense in Syria’s Alawi communities. Fake or misleading videos of abuses have only fanned the flames. Alawis told me they want direct reassurance from Ahmed al-Sharaa https://t.co/I5dFl3jUui

Unspeakable suffering in a beautiful landscape: heartbreaking story of the siege of Madaya by @DanielHiltonCFC @MiddleEastEye
Inside Madaya, the Syrian town Assad starved to death https://t.co/bxovcPJokZ

The Syrians of Tadamon spent years watching intelligence officials and paramilitaries slaughter scores of innocent people. Children are coming across bones and bodies all the time.

I spoke to Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, the most senior Druze figure in Syria. He said talks with the new authorities had been very positive but he needed to see more

I also learnt that Druze fighters were coordinating with rebels in Daraa for over a year  https://t.co/UgmRMbAu7h

[Daniel Hilton @DanielHiltonCFC]

Madaya was under siege for 21 months. People ate cats and dogs, tree leaves, bones and even soiled nappies

Now Assad has gone its residents can finally tell their stories of survival https://t.co/8JsK0oh8AG

Vibes in Umayyad Square

Around 31,000 prisoners were freed as the Syrian government fell. That leaves an estimated 100,000 people unaccounted for. The grim truth is they most likely died under torture, @FADELABDULGHANY tells me https://t.co/hc2O9T1aEf

Yesterday I went to Qatana, the closest Syrian town to invading Israeli troops, to see how people were getting on. Everyone was pretty chill about it to be honest https://t.co/hexjZKKE0a

When the Syrian army tortured 13-year-old Hamza al-Khatib to death in 2011, he became synonymous with the government’s brutality. His death also put a target on his family’s back. My piece from Daraa https://t.co/ejeE6uhTFk

[Daniel Hilton @DanielHiltonCFC]

Stole half an hour while I was in Daraa yesterday to see the Roman theatre at Bosra, because wtf else are two classics degrees good for

[Daniel Hilton @DanielHiltonCFC]

Me and Omar al-Aswad spoke to conscripts and officers who witnessed the Syrian army dissolve before their eyes. No amount of threats could convince them to fight for Assad as everyone panicked around them https://t.co/zqTYhsqOjX
