🚨 Two Palestinian gunmen opened fire at an Israeli military checkpoint near Hebron in the occupied West Bank on Friday, killing two Israeli soldiers and wounding three others before being killed by Israeli forces. The gunfight lasted more than 20 minutes.
Israeli forces then imposed a sweeping military lockdown on Hebron governorate, closing all entrances and exits, and preventing Palestinian movement. Troops raided homes and detained at least five Palestinians in raids, according to WAFA. Israeli forces also critically wounded a Palestinian driver after shooting him in the chest in Dura, southwest of Hebron, and closed the Ibrahimi Mosque to Muslim worshippers.
During a subsequent visit to Hebron on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced he had instructed the army and security forces to “immediately impose a closure on the city of Hebron” and prepare for a “full lockdown” of the entire West Bank starting Friday.
Netanyahu added that along with Defense Minister Israel Katz they were considering an extensive operation in the West Bank “such as has not been carried out since the Six Day War,” in reference to 1967.
Netanyahu announced plans to apply the same “successful and aggressive model” used in the occupied West Bank refugee camps, where Israeli forces have displaced tens of thousands of residents and demolished large areas in what rights groups have said are crimes against humanity.
In Gaza, hunger is no longer just a feeling, but a daily battle for survival. Children and adults gather with empty containers, searching for a bite to eat amid the rubble and tents. Here, a single meal has become a dream, and waiting for aid is a desperate hope of surviving another day.
في غزة، لم يعد الجوع مجرد شعور، بل معركة يومية من أجل البقاء. يتزاحم الأطفال والكبار بأوانٍ فارغة، بحثًا عن لقمة تسدّ الرمق، وسط الركام والخيام. هنا، أصبحت لقمة الطعام حلمًا، وانتظار المساعدات أملًا في النجاة ليوم آخر.
Palestinians have an absolute legal and moral right to resist a genocidal and illegal military occupation. The only parties to blame for these killings are those who sent the occupation gunmen to terrorize and oppress Palestinians and those like @EUinIsrael and the US that fund them.
At least 11 civilians were wounded, three of them critically, following an Israeli strike targeting civilians in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
Horrible picture for a Palestinian kidnapped by Israeli occupation forces from Gaza during the height of the genocide
Does this make sense to world leaders?!
The commander of the Israeli military unit likely responsible for killing 5-year-old Hind Rajab is currently in the U.S.
As a party to the Genocide Convention and the Geneva Conventions, our government is obligated to arrest and investigate him for these war crimes and acts of genocide. I stand with @HindRFoundation in calling on the DOJ to follow the law and take action.
دون أي مبالاة بوجود الأطفال والنساء، عائلات كاملة في المشهد الذي أمامنا؛ قصفت إسرائيل محيط المحل التجاري في خان يونس دون رحمة .
قتلت إسرائيل سبعة فلسطينيين منذ الصباح في قصفها على قطاع غزة، من بينهم طفلان ورجل وزوجته .
97.8% of Congress has taken money from AIPAC.
523 of the 535 voting members of Congress has taken money on behalf of a foreign nation.
We are occupied.
A Palestinian father was shot dead by an Israeli sniper while trying to retrieve his son’s body after Israeli forces killed the child.
The footage was documented by journalist Hassan Salih, who was later killed by Israel on May 13, 2025, while covering the atrocities in Gaza.
