"Hamdan Ballal and two other Palestinians left a police station in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba, where they were being held on Tuesday. Ballal had bruises on his face and blood on his clothes.

The three had spent the night on the floor of a military base while suffering from serious injuries sustained in the attack"

I suspect the international outcry had something to do with it. Otherwise...

Israeli violence is rapidly emptying Jordan Valley of Palestinians (+972 Magazine, 2025-03-19)

#WestBank
“Khirbet Samra is one of the few remaining Palestinian shepherding communities in Area C of the northern Jordan Valley, which falls under complete Israeli control. Like many other #Bedouin communities in the area, its residents have faced escalating settler violence since Israel’s war on Gaza began in October 2023…”

”From large-scale livestock theft, to home raids and beatings, the violence and displacement spiked in the Jordan Valley after the Israeli military launched ‘Operation Iron Wall’ in January”

“… Trump’s return and the new military assault in the West Bank, [the founder of Kerem Navot Dror] Etkes continued, provided ‘a clear sign for the settlers to escalate their violence to expel more Palestinians.’

“Now, Israel’s takeover of the Jordan Valley is almost complete…”

PIJ Bombs Gaza Envelope, Settler Killed in Resistance Operation

The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, announced on Monday that it had launched a rocket barrage targeting Sderot, Netiv HaAsara, Zikim, and settlements surrounding Gaza.

Zionist media reported that air raid sirens sounded in Sderot and its surroundings for the second time in a row, signaling incoming rocket fire.

This escalation comes as the Palestinian resistance continues to retaliate against aggression on Gaza and the ongoing massacres against civilians.

Resistance operations see uptick

Al-Qassam Brigades launched on Friday a salvo of rockets toward the occupied city of Askalan.

That marks the second day that the Palestinian Resistance launched rockets toward occupied territories in response to the regime restarting its war on Gaza, with the al-Qassam Brigades announcing Thursday a barrage of “Moqadama M90” rockets targeting Tel Aviv in retaliation for the massacres committed by the occupation against civilians in the Gaza Strip.

Despite the ceasefire agreement and the commitment to its second phase, the occupation has deliberately imposed new conditions and pressure on Palestinian resistance, violating the truce.

The renewed Zionist aggression on Gaza has resulted in hundreds of martyrs and over a thousand wounded, as airstrikes target various areas across the besieged strip.

Zionist occupation forces admitted to tracking three rockets fired from Gaza toward central occupied Palestine, prompting alarm sirens in Tel Aviv, Gush Dan, and nearby settlements.

Zionist regime ‘to act with a force never seen before’

“For Gazans, this is the latest warning … The air force attacks on Hamas were only the first step. What comes next will be much harder, and you will have to pay the price in full. The evacuation of the population from the war zones will soon begin again. If all kidnapped ‘Israelis’ are not released and Hamas is not forced out of the Gaza Strip, ‘Israel’ will act with a force you have never seen before,” Katz said in a direct address to the people of Gaza on March 19.

The statement signals a further escalation in the occupation’s brutal onslaught in the Gaza Strip, which has already killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and displaced the overwhelming majority of the enclave’s residents.

Katz also urged Gazans to follow the advice of former US President Donald Trump, claiming that compliance with Zionist demands could lead to alternative “options” for them, including the forced displacement from Gaza permanently.

“Return the kidnapped and get rid of Hamas, then other options will open up for you, including passage to other parts of the world. The alternative is total destruction and devastation,” he added.

His remarks reinforce growing concerns over the regime’s plans to depopulate Gaza through systematic forced displacement, a policy widely condemned as a violation of international law.

Zionist settler killed in Resistance operation

A settler was killed and several others were injured in a combined ramming, stabbing, and shooting operation in the Yokneam Illit area, east of Haifa, Israeli media reported on Monday.

According to the regime’s Magen David Adom ambulance service, the person who carried out the operation was shot and killed at the scene.

Reports indicate that the person who carried out the operation initially drove his vehicle into a group of settlers waiting at a bus stop at Tishbi Junction before exiting the car and opening fire, injuring multiple Zionists.

Zionist channel Kan said the Palestinian who carried out the attack was from the 1948 occupied territories.

Video footage showed the moment of the operation.

Meanwhile, occupation forces continue their assaults on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank amid the genocidal war they are waging in Gaza.

Palestinian Resistance factions exalted the martyr Karam Jabarin and congratulated the qualitative operation.

Popular Resistance Committees:

The Haifa operation exposes the fragility and weakness of the security system within the zionist entity and reveals the falsehood of the slogans repeated by the pillars of the fascist zionist government.

We exalt the martyr fighter Karam Jabarin, the executor of the heroic operation in Haifa, and call upon all our people in the occupied lands of 1948, Al-Quds, and the West Bank to follow his example and strike the zionist enemy—soldiers and settlers alike—wherever they are on our occupied Palestinian land, in retaliation for the innocent blood spilled in Gaza at the hands of the criminal killers in the zionist government, backed by the American administration.

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine praises the heroic Haifa operation, considering it a legitimate response to the occupation’s massacres and a clear message that our people are united and that resistance continues.

Mujahideen Movement:

This high-quality operation confirms the failure of all attempts to end the resistance and its choice in the West Bank and reflects the deep-rooted nature of resistance in the hearts of our people and its free sons.

This operation delivers a new security slap to the enemy’s security and intelligence apparatus and reaffirms that there is no safety for zionists anywhere their feet desecrate in Palestine.

This operation once again confirms the resistance’s ability to break the enemy’s prestige, cause it pain, and respond to its crimes, aggression, and malicious schemes aimed at eliminating the resistance, isolating our people, and expelling them from their land in Gaza, the West Bank, and Al-Quds.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad:

We bless the heroic operation carried out by one of our people from the occupied interior near the city of Haifa, which resulted in several injuries among the usurping settlers.

This operation and others like it are a natural response to the occupation’s ongoing crimes against our people, the genocide it wages against their existence, and its oppression and criminality against our people across all of Palestine.

Hamas:

This operation, along with previous high-quality operations deep within the usurping zionist entity, reaffirms the resistance’s ability to break the enemy’s prestige, cause it pain, and respond to its crimes, aggression, and malicious plans aimed at eliminating the resistance, isolating our people, and expelling them from their land in Gaza, the West Bank, and Al-Quds, in addition to its continuous criminal practices against our free prisoners.

These heroic operations represent the natural choice and appropriate response to the continued massacres, policies of siege, terror, and oppression, and attempts at displacement, particularly from the West Bank refugee camps, foremost among them Jenin and Tulkarem.

We call for escalating painful heroic operations in the heart of the occupied entity and at all points of its presence in the West Bank, Al-Quds, and the occupied interior. We also call for the unity of our people and their rallying behind the choice of resistance until the occupation is expelled.

"A Palestinian family from the West Bank city of Hebron returned home on Sunday to find that Jewish settlers had taken over their house.

"The Abd al-Basit family discovered the settlers – who claimed they had legally purchased the house – when they came back from an iftar dinner, the meal that breaks the daily fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

"Upon arrival, the Israeli army prevented the family from entering their house as settlers emptied it of their belongings. "
