The strike directly targeted the vehicle while they were inside. The strike directly targeted the vehicle while they were inside. According to an Al Araby reporter on the scene, Israel targeted their car with two strikes, killing Ali Shuaib and Mohammed Ftouni. Fatima survived and tried to get away, but the Israeli drone struck her a couple of times down the road as bystanders tried to approach and help. Other journalists were wounded in the attack, and one paramedic was killed as ambulances were also reportedly targeted. Video of the aftermath showed singed press jackets and helmets, as well as tripods and microphones that had been pulled from the car. The last message on Shuaib’s personal Telegram channel, sent within an hour of the attack, referred to shelling in the southern town of Khiam, consistent with the route the three journalists were taking. The Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) online claimed the "elimination" of "Ali Hassan Shaib, a Hezbollah Radwan Force terrorist who operated for years under the guise of a journalist for the Al-Manar network. Shaib exposed IDF troop positions in southern Lebanon and maintained direct contact with Hezbollah operatives." This strike was universally condemned by all Lebanese political, military, and civilian components. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said the attack constitutes a "blatant crime that violates all norms" and called on international bodies to take action. Prime Minister Nawaf Salam also condemned the attack, urging respect for international law, according to the National News Agency. Separately, the Syndicate of Workers in Visual and Audio Media in Lebanon stated: "Targeting journalists in the field is a blatant attack on press freedom and a transparent attempt to silence free voices and obscure the serious human rights violations taking place. This crime not only targets specific individuals but also the entire media community and all those who strive to reveal the truth to the public." At a news conference, Information Minister Paul Morcos said that Lebanon is preparing to file a complaint with the UN Security Council over the attack. **Broader context:** In mid-March 2026, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) began a ground operation inside southern Lebanon, advancing forces beyond the border area into Lebanese territory. This marked a significant escalation beyond air and drone strikes. Israel describes these as “targeted” ground operations against Hezbollah positions aimed at pushing militants away from the border and establishing a forward defensive area/buffer zone south of the Litani River. **Casulaties:** 1- Fatima Ftouni, journalist 2- Mohammed Ftouni, cameraman 3- Ali Shuaib, journalist 4- Mohammad Daher, 17 y/o Mohammad Daher’s mother recalled her son's true act of heroism with pride and heartbreak in an interview for Al Mayadeen. At just 17, he happened to be passing by, along with his friend Ahmad Oneissi, when he saw journalist Fatima Ftouni heading his way after she survived the first strike. He rushed to help her, ignoring the Israeli aircraft overhead. Yet, Israeli treachery was faster, and the second missile struck, killing them all. "He was fearless, gentle, always ready to help, and loved by everyone," his mother recounted. His mother said that Mohammad embodied the spirit of the people of the South: brave, selfless, and devoted to protecting his people and land.

West Bank, Nablus, Al-Basatin area 26 March, 2026
On March 26, 2026, on Thursday evening, Special Israeli forces sneaked their way into the al-Basatin neighborhood using two Palestinian-licensed vehicles and fired shots at a taxi. A footage shows the moment Israeli soldiers drag the wounded on the road and abuse him before handcuffed him when he lies on the ground. There are no updates on the occupants’ conditions or whereabouts. **Broader context:** The occupation forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost daily across the West Bank on the pretext of searching for “wanted” Palestinians, triggering clashes with residents.These raids are conducted without a search warrant, whenever and wherever the military chooses, in keeping with its sweeping, arbitrary powers. Under Israeli military law, army commanders have full executive, legislative, and judicial authority over 3 million Palestinians living in the West Bank. Palestinians have no say in how this authority is exercised

Pogroms in Safah Tayasir near Tubas

West Bank, Jordan Valley, Tubas, Safah Tayasir 26 March, 2026
At least 1 martyred
On March 26, 2026, Several Palestinians were injured early Thursday morning in a pogrom carried out by Israeli settler in Saah Tayasir, northeast of Tubas. During these days, two new settlement outposts were established on lands in Tubas Governorate, on Tayasir mountain and in Anun, on the evening of the 26th March, where a group of settlers set up a tent in an area to establish a settlement outpost, where three Palestinian families have been displaced and three families also remain. The first outpost is north of Tubas. Both outposts are roughly four kilometers from the city center. At 03:00, during the night of March 26, a group of settlers entered the Safah area of the village of Tayasir in the northern Jordan Valley, and attempted to steal sheep belonging to the citizen Raed Hamdan Daraghmeh. The settlers attacked Palestinian farmer, Abdallah Alghori, took control of his sheep sheds, and stole his sheep. Villagers tried to reach Abdallah to help and take him for medical treatment when settlers began firing live bullets. They shot live ammunition on the citizens while they were trying to confront the attack, wounding 7 of them. Some of whom were taken to the hospital for medical treatment. By daybreak, a new outpost had been established in the village. **Broader context:** The same area has witnessed several colonist attacks in recent times. Tayasir is also home to a checkpoint between Tubas and the Jordan Valley that controls freedom of movement for Palestinians in the area. This checkpoint is used to stop people from accessing their land, making it to work, and going to school or university. Tayasir is also the location the Israeli occupation has chosen to start building the “Crimson Thread” apartheid wall that will run from the Tayasir checkpoint to the Hamra checkpoint. Eventually, the wall is planned to serve as a 300-mile segregation barrier that spans all the way from the occupied Golan Heights to the Red Sea. This wall, along with Israel’s escalation in settler violence is part of the Israeli occupation’s plan to annex the entire Jordan Valley and forcibly displace Palestinians from their land into the nearby cities. **Casualties:** Two of the wounded as a result of gunfire by settlers in the Safah area of the village of Tayasir in the northern Jordan Valley are: Ahmed Muhammad Abdullah and Fayek Fakher Fayez Daba. The 75-year-old Abdullah Daraghmeh is bloodied and bruised, his face swollen by the brutal assault that fractured his skull, multiple bones in his face and knocked out his teeth. His family and multiple eyewitnesses in Tayasir said settlers stormed his home in the middle of the night and beat him. Sami Daraghmeh said he found his father bloodied in his bed :“He was asleep,” his son said. “This is not normal.” ![](https://media.cnn.com/api/v1/images/stellar/prod/c-abdullah-daraghmeh-settler-victim-with-his-son.jpg?c=original&q=w_860,c_fill/f_webp) *Abdullah Daraghmeh, a victim of an Israeli settler attack, with his son. Cyril Theophilos/CNN* **Aftermath and Israeli military forces collaboration with the settlers** Twelve hours after the pogrom, the Israeli military stepped in and occupied the resident houses as military barrack. They assaulted the CNN crews of the US Journalist Jeremy Diamond and his cameraman Cyril Theophilos putting him in a chokehold, bringing him to the ground and damaging his camera. A CNN report describes an incident in the West Bank village of Tayasir where Israeli settlers violently attacked Palestinians and set up an illegal outpost. When Israeli soldiers arrived, they did not act against the settlers; instead, they detained Palestinians and a CNN crew, even assaulting a photojournalist. During the detention, soldiers openly expressed pro-settler views, justified the outpost’s eventual legalization, and spoke in terms of revenge and hostility toward Palestinians evoking the death in a car accident of Sherman, on March 21. The report argues this reflects a broader pattern in which Israeli forces often support or fail to stop settler violence. Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir has ordered the findings of an IDF investigation be presented to him. According to an X's statement of Jeremy Diamond, on March 30, "The Israeli military’s top general suspended all operational activities of the reserve battalion involved in my team's detention & assault. The reserve battalion, comprised of hundreds of reservists who served in the ultra-Orthodox Netzah Yehuda battalion, will be immediately withdrawn from the West Bank and reassigned to training until further notice. The sweeping disciplinary action comes about 48 hours after our report first aired." * **On March 3o**, At 09:05, a group of settlers in the Al-Safeh area, near the new settlement outpost that was established near the village of Tayasir, stole solar energy batteries owned by the Palestinian citizen Ali Hassan Sarayah Al-Faqir. At 10:15, a group of settlers in the village of Tayasir released their livestock on citizens’ agricultural lands. At 20:50, a group of settlers near the village of Tayasir assaulted and beat the citizen: Najdi Ali Saad Daraghmeh - resident of the village of Tayasir. **On March 31**, The Israeli settlers militia wounded four people and set fire to agricultural equipment and civilian property. According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society in Tubas, four Palestinians were injured and transferred to a hospital for further treatment. They set fire to a tractor, a private vehicle, and several tents belonging to local families. Confrontations erupted as Palestinian youths attempted to repel the attack and protect the community from further damage, before many Israeli military vehicles invaded the area and attacked the residents. According to community leader and eyewitness Amer Dabak, the Israeli military responded to the incident by arriving in Tayasir and preventing the fire brigade, ambulances and residents from returning to their homes but "allowed the settlers to do everything at their leisure”. **On April 8,** Alaa Kaaled Muhammad Subaih, 28, a young man was killed during the night by and armed Israeli, a settler out-off duty soldier, near the village of Tayasir, east of Tubas. His body was subsequently withheld by the Israeli forces. Residents confronted an attack by settlers near the village of Tayasir. One settler was injured by a stone. Then, the Israeli forces stormed the village and an armed settler shot Subaih. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society in Tubas stated that it received a report of a young man being wounded in Tayasir, but that the occupation forces prevented its medical teams from reaching the scene. The Israeli soldiers detained PRC staff, confiscated their mobile phones and identity cards, and prevented them from retrieving the body of the slain youth near the colonial outpost. The body of Alaa Subeih was abducted by the Israeli army. A relative said Alaa Khalid Subeih, 28, was killed as he tried to defend a greenhouse from the attack of the settlers. The Israeli military said he was shot by an off-duty soldier and accused him of throwing stones. Then, the Israeli army declared Tayasir and Al-Aqaba closed military zones and launched a large-scale operation, carrying out incursions into the area with bulldozers while conducting searches in several homes. **IDF statements (Hebrew and English):** In a statement issued in Hebrew after the incident in Tayasir, the IDF said the person shot dead – meaning Alaa Subaih – was a "terrorist". This language was repeated in some Israeli media coverage. But the IDF's English language statement has said he was a "civilian". The IDF has not answered the BBC's questions about why it accused him of being a "terrorist". In a statement issued to the BBC, the IDF said "soldiers were dispatched to the area of Tayasir, following a report of an incident between Palestinians and Israeli civilians, which included hurling rocks. As a result, an Israeli and a Palestinian civilian were injured and evacuated to a hospital to receive medical treatment. From initial inquiry, it emerged that an off-duty soldier fired toward a Palestinian after he threw stones at the Israeli civilians, injuring an Israeli civilian."
