This alleged plan follows internal Hamas documents indicating a desire to expand confrontation and establish communication mechanisms between these 'external fronts' with Iranian assistance.

Israel must protect West Bank’s Palestinians amid settler pogroms: US envoy

United States ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee stated on Saturday that the Israeli government has a responsibility to protect Palestinians in the occupied West Bank from settler violence, after meeting with residents, including Palestinian Americans, who have experienced attacks. Huckabee labelled some settlers committing violence as "terrorists" and warned of "severe consequences," though analysts suggest the visit is largely symbolic and unlikely to alter US policy.

‘Guilt by association’: why seven international aid workers were killed in Israeli airstrike

A Guardian investigation reveals that seven aid workers killed in an April 2024 Israeli airstrike in Gaza were designated as targets under an Israeli military practice of "guilt by association," known as haflala. This practice allows commanders wide discretion in designating individuals as "terrorists" based on their proximity to alleged militants, a policy that senior officers suggest was glossed over in the official investigation into the incident.
