❗️Four Palestinians killed across occupied West Bank as Israeli military and settler attacks escalate
Israeli occupation forces and armed settlers killed four Palestinians across the occupied West Bank governorates of Nablus, Qalqilya, and Tulkarem in a 24-hour surge of violence, according to a statement released by the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The latest casualties push the Palestinian death toll in the occupied West Bank to 100 since the start of the year. The fatalities follow a brutal series of military raids and armed settler incursions targeting residential areas, agricultural lands, and civilian infrastructure.

❗️Israel orders closure of UK consulate in occupied East Jerusalem, strips British diplomats of accreditation
In a sharp escalation of diplomatic friction, Israeli authorities ordered the shutdown of the British consulate in occupied East Jerusalem. Sources familiar with the matter told Reuters that Israel informed the mission it must terminate operations and stripped its assigned diplomatic corps of their accreditation, setting a 30-day deadline for them to vacate.
The expulsion order extends to British military and administrative personnel operating in the occupied West Bank. UK officials embedded within a US-led Gaza coordination unit operating inside Israel, as well as diplomats stationed at the British office in Ramallah, were given a strict seven-day mandate to leave the country, according to diplomatic sources cited by Reuters.
The retaliatory move comes after London imposed fresh restrictions targeting illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Israel has increasingly cracked down on western diplomatic missions accredited to the Palestinian Authority as foreign pressure builds over the ongoing genocide in Gaza and expanding settlement activity across the occupied West Bank.
