  • Dozens of settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters near Ramallah, injuring Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine.

The IDF announced it has eliminated a Hamas Nahba cell commander, Maaher Walid Omar Al-Hatzini, who participated in the October 7th massacre at the Ra'im camp. The strike occurred in southern Gaza, where Al-Hatzini was reportedly advancing terror plots against Israeli forces and civilians and working to rebuild Hamas's military capabilities, violating the ceasefire.

In separate incidents, the IDF reported intercepting a suspicious aerial target in southern Lebanon, with no sirens activated. Additionally, two interceptors were launched towards a false target in the same area.

Meanwhile, violence in the West Bank escalated as dozens of Israeli settlers, armed with slingshots and a handgun, attacked Palestinian olive harvesters near Ramallah. During the assault, Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine was attacked and injured. The newspaper condemned the "unjustified attack" and demanded a thorough investigation. Palestinian residents also reported settler attacks near Ramallah, including the torching of vehicles.

Separately, the Institute for Science and International Security, citing satellite imagery from the past week, indicated that entrances and access roads to the Fordow nuclear facility in Iran remain blocked, suggesting the site is currently inactive and not undergoing restoration.

In a US context, President Trump, when asked about potentially using the "mother of all bombs" in Iran, described it as a "very big bomb" but clarified it was not nuclear. He also stated in an interview that he trusts no one in politics, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
