Another woman, identified as 'Abeer Ma'hmoud from Seida town in Toulkarm, was taken prisoner by Israeli forces during her presence in Ramallah City. The IOFs also kidnapped four teenagers from Ramallah, three from the village of Dair Abu Mash'al and one from the village of 'Aboud. In the village of Bait Ameen, south of Qalqilya, Israeli forces kidnaped three sons of Abdul Salam Omar, an ex-detainee released as part of a swap deal and later exiled to Egypt, after raiding their home.

"The Israeli occupation armys closure of hundreds of checkpoints and crossings across the West Bank has crippled health and education services, severely damaged the Palestinian economy, and disrupted social connections between towns and cities," El-Barghouthi said in a statement on Tuesday. "Several Palestinian villages and towns have effectively become' prison ike areas, cut off from health and education services and deprived of the most basic essentials of human life," El-Barghouthi added. The Palestinian official pointed out that "fragmenting the West Bank through checkpoints and closures amounts, in effect, to placing Palestinian areas and governorates under a de facto curfew. Since early Saturday, following the launch of the Zio-American military operation against Iran, the Israeli army has closed hundreds of checkpoints and barriers across the West Bank. *** *** Aggression and Attacks by Illegal Israeli Settlers and Soldiers *** Note: Despite the Trump administration support for the Israeli occupation apartheid regime, the U.S. official policy is still considering the Israeli settlement activities in the Palestinian territories as illegal. *** Illegal Israeli settlers kill two Palestinians, injure three others after attacking the West Bank town of Monday 2-March-2026 NABLUS, (PIC) Two Palestinian brothers were killed and three other citizens were injured by Israeli gunfire during an attack by the illegal Israeli settlers on the town of Qaryout, south of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank.

"Åöäú ÃóÍúÓóäÊõãú ÃóÍúÓóäÊõãú áöÃóäÝõÓößõãú ۖ æóÅöäú ÃóÓóÃúÊõãú ÝóáóåóÇ ۚ ÝóÅöÐóÇ ÌóÇÁó æóÚúÏõ ÇáúÂÎöÑóÉö áöíóÓõæÁõæÇ æõÌõæåóßõãú æóáöíóÏúÎõáõæÇ ÇáúãóÓúÌöÏó ßóãóÇ ÏóÎóáõæåõ Ãóæøóáó ãóÑøóÉò æóáöíõÊóÈøöÑõæÇ ãóÇ ÚóáóæúÇ ÊóÊúÈöíÑÇð ý(ÇáÅÓúÑóÇÁõ ¡ 17: 7). In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful "Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul, unless for a soul, or for corruption in the land, it is as if he had killed humankind entirely" (The Holy Quran, Al-Ma-ida, 5: 32). "And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allah has become angry with him, and has cursed him, and has prepared for him a great torment" (Al-Nisa, 4: 93). "If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, (you do it) to yourselves. Then, when the latter (final) promise comes, they (your enemies) will sadden your faces, and enter the Masjid (in Jerusalem), as they entered it the first time, and will destroy what they had taken over with (total) destruction (Al-Isra, 17: 7). *** While brutal force has been used to create Zionist Israel and sustain it thus far, Zionist claims to Palestine are false. Actually, from the five thousand years of known written human history, there has been a continuous Palestinian-Canaanite presence in the Holy Land. Despite the Zionist false claims, the ancient Israelites ruled part of the land for only 85 years (during the reign of Prophets David and Solomon , peace be upon them, and Solomon's son). After that, the Egyptians conquered Palestine-Canaan in 925 BC, followed by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans, before the Arab Muslim rule, starting from 636 AD. By the Time Jesus, peace be upon him, started his mission, the three population groups of Canaanites, Palestinians, and Israelites were melted together in religion and language. Most of them became Christians when Constantine converted in 313 AD. Then, most of them became Muslims in the 7th and 8th centuries AD. So, Palestinian Muslims, Christians, and Jews are the ones who have the right to claim descent from ancient Israelites, Palestinians, and Canaanites, not Zionists from other continents. No matter what the Zionists and their supporters do, they cannot change the will of God, Who promised the Holy Land to Abraham and his descendants, basically the Palestinian Muslims and Christians. No matter how much persecution and aggression the Zionists and their supporters inflict upon the Palestinian people, they will never be able to force them out of the Holy Land, which Allah, praise to Him, promised for them, and kept His promise ever since. This is a necessary brief background to understand the US-Backed Zionist Israeli continuous wars against the Arab nation generally, and the Palestinian people in particular, which included the wars of 1948, 1956, 1967, 1978, 1982, the brutal crushing of the two Uprisings (1987-1993 and 2000-2004), 2009, 2012, 2014, 2021, and the current genocidal war on Gaza (Since October 7, 2023), which has culminated a blockade of Gaza since 2007. In addition, the Israeli occupation and apartheid regime launched so many covert operations, raids, and air strikes on many Arab states since 1948. The following news stories are just examples, not a systematic record, of the Israeli occupation government abuse, mistreatment, and violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.
