Nascent Yemen

zionist occupation army uprooted centuries-old olive trees, vandalized homes, and began paving a settlement road during its siege of Al-Mughayyir.

zion%st army withdrew on Sunday morning from the town of Al-Mughayyir, east of Ramallah, following a three-day siege that left behind widespread devastation and the arrest of dozens of residents, including the head of the village council, Amin Abu Aliya.

According to the Anadolu news agency, residents poured into the streets after the withdrawal to assess the destruction. They discovered that hundreds of olive trees, some centuries old, had been uprooted from the village’s plains. On the eastern side, residents rushed to replant the trees razed by Israeli bulldozers.

Although the troops pulled out from inside Al-Mughayyir, Israeli military vehicles remain positioned around the town, where they are paving a new settlement road through its territory.

During the raid, Israeli forces bulldozed agricultural lands, raided dozens of homes, and vandalized their contents — actions described by residents as acts of “revenge.”Arrest of Village Council Head
The siege culminated in the arrest of council head Amin Abu Aliya on Saturday evening. His son was first detained, and the army informed him that he must surrender to end the standoff.

Before his arrest, Abu Aliya appeared in a video message stressing that the siege was conditional upon his detention. “I sacrifice my freedom for my family, and I have provided every service I could to the country without discrimination,” he said.

The Palestinian Anti-Wall and Settlement Commission reported that Israeli occupation authorities had issued a military order to uproot trees on 297 dunams of Al-Mughayyir’s land, citing “security reasons” tied to settlement expansion.

Mass Arrest Campaign in the West Bank
At dawn on Sunday, the Israeli army launched a wider campaign of raids across the occupied West Bank, arresting nine Palestinians and severely beating another.

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA said the raids were concentrated in Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarm, and Hebron. Four Palestinians were detained in Nablus from the Ma’ajin and Jabal al-Shamali neighborhoods and the Balata refugee camp.

In Tulkarm, university student Muqdad Shadid was detained after his home was vandalized in Allar, while another young man was taken from Qabatiya in Jenin.In Hebron (Al-Khalil), Israeli forces raided Tabqa village, detaining Muhammad Kayed Abu Atwan and Yamen Amjad Haribat, while detaining Haitham Shalaldeh from Sa’ir. Local sources also reported that a young man from Idhna was dragged from his vehicle and beaten so severely that he required hospitalization.

Since October 7, 2023, more than 1,015 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 7,000 wounded in the West Bank by Israeli forces and settlers. Over 18,500 have been detained, according to Palestinian figures.

Meanwhile, Israel’s war on Gaza continues, with the Ministry of Health reporting 62,622 Palestinians killed and 157,673 wounded — most of them women and children. More than 9,000 people remain missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, and famine has already claimed 281 lives, including 114 children.

zion#st occupation military has repeatedly dropped internationally banned white phosphorus munitions in civilian areas in Gaza and Lebanon

An investigation by Sweden’s public broadcaster Ekot has revealed that the state-run Seventh AP Fund (AP7) holds a major stake in zion*st colony ICL Group, a chemical company accused of producing white phosphorus munitions.

Swedish pension money has been invested in zion#st chemical company accused of producing white phosphorus, a substance condemned by human rights groups for its alleged use in densely populated areas of Gaza and Lebanon, local media reported Friday.

An investigation by the public broadcaster Ekot revealed that the Seventh AP Fund, where nearly 6 million Swedes have their premium pensions if they have not made an active choice, has holdings worth about 100 million kronor ($9.3 million) in Israel’s ICL Group.

The company manufactures white phosphorus, which causes severe burns and is restricted under international law.

Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have accused Israel of using white phosphorus munitions in recent conflicts. While the substance can legally be used to illuminate targets or create smoke screens, its use as an incendiary weapon near civilians is banned.

Although there is no confirmation that ICL’s products were deployed in Gaza or Lebanon, the company has previously acknowledged selling white phosphorus to the US Army, which maintains close military ties with Israel. Activist groups have repeatedly urged investors to divest from the company.

Ekot’s review showed that the Seventh AP Fund increased its stake in ICL Group in 2025, raising its holdings from 1.2 to 1.6 million shares.

Astri Sjoner, a political advisor at Amnesty Norway, described the investment as “risky.”

“Now several people have indicated that they suspect that it is this company’s white phosphorus that was used in Israel’s warfare in Gaza,” she said.

“When there is this type of suspicion, it is important that those who invest in it take on an extra great responsibility to assess the risk of human rights violations.”

Mikael Lindh Hok, the acting head of communications at the Seventh AP Fund, said there are no immediate plans to sell the shares but stressed the issue will be reviewed this fall.

“If it is true and you can really verify that their product, in this case white phosphorus, is used by the Israeli military in the conflicts, then it is a basis for blacklisting,” he said.

He added that the fund seeks confirmation before excluding companies.

“Sometimes there can be a rumor that a company has violated, then it turns out that it has not violated an international convention. And since we are the default choice for 6 million Swedes, we have set that limit: what international conventions has Sweden signed?”

AA Report

As the Yemeni Armed Forces chased out american warships from the Red Sea and surrounding area, Washington repurposes them for the american hegemony agenda.

Trump is deploying three warships off the coast of Venezuela as part of efforts to curb drug trafficking, a source familiar with the move said Wednesday.

The deployment comes as the Trump administration steps up pressure on Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, doubling its bounty to $50 million earlier this month on drug charges against the leftist strongman.

The three Aegis-class guided missile destroyers are heading to the waters off Venezuela, the US source told AFP on condition of anonymity.

US media reported that Washington was also planning to send 4,000 Marines to the region.

Washington, which does not recognize Maduro’s past two election victories, accuses him of leading the Cartel de los Soles (“Cartel of the Suns”) cocaine trafficking gang.

The Treasury Department gave the group a special terrorist designation last month, accusing it of supporting the Tren de Aragua and Sinaloa drug cartels, which were labeled foreign terrorist organizations earlier this year.

The White House said on Tuesday that Trump would use “every element” to stop drug trafficking, when asked about the possibility of US boots on the ground in Venezuela.

“President Trump has been very clear and consistent, he’s prepared to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into our country and to bring those responsible to justice,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Leavitt described the Venezuelan government as a “narco-terror cartel.”

“And Maduro, it is the view of this administration, is not a legitimate president, he is a fugitive head of this cartel who has been indicted in the United States for trafficking drugs into this country,” she added.

Maduro said on Monday that he would be deploying 4.5 million militia members across Venezuela in response to US “threats.”

“Because of the U.S. sanctions on Venezuela’s oil sector, no big-name companies would dare operate there, handing opportunities to small companies like Concord.”

U.S. supermajor Chevron is a rare Venezuelan presence among the biggest international oil firms, now that its license to operate in the country holding the world’s biggest crude reserves has been reinstated.

A Lebanese citizen was martyred in zion*st strike on the southern border town of Ayta Al-Shaab on Friday, a new victim of the occupation enemy.

Al-Manar correspondent reported a z%onist drone strike on Ayta Al-Shaab.

The Lebanese Health Ministry later announced martyrdom of a citizen in the zionist strike on the border town.

Local media identified the martyr as Mohammad Qassem.

Qassem was known earlier by his high resolve to stay in his hometown at the border with occupied Palestine, despite the continuous zion#st violations of the Lebanese sovereignty and the ceasefire which ended the brutal zionist 66-day war on Lebanon in late 2024.

He was filmed earlier this year by local media to talk how he defied the zionist enemy attacks setting a tent and insisting to stay in Ayta Al-Shaab despite the destruction and the continuous aggression.

Meanwhile, Al-Manar correspondent in south Lebanon reported a zionist strike that targeted a prefabricated house in the border town of Maroun Al-Ras overnight Thursday-Friday.

zionist enemy continues to bomb Lebanon, mainly the country’s south, almost daily and maintains occupation over five posts along the southern border, in violation of a ceasefire deal.

Despite the continuous Israeli attacks, the Lebanese Government approved earlier this month “objectives” of a US plan to disarm Hezbollah, yielding to US and zionist colony pressures.

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a UN-supported entity tasked with assessing global hunger, has officially declared a famine in Gaza City for the first time.

According to the IPC briefing, the situation in Gaza is catastrophic, with more than half a million residents facing dire conditions marked by food deprivation and mortality.

The famine is expected to spread to other areas by the end of September, affecting approximately 1.07 million people, who are currently in a state of “emergency” food insecurity.

The deal with Elbit Systems would make zion%st colony’s largest arms manufacturer a strategic partner to the British Ministry of Defense.

The British Ministry of Defence (MoD) is preparing to sign a $2.7-billion contract with Elbit Systems – Israel’s largest arms manufacturer – that would see the company train 60,000 British troops each year and be designated a “strategic partner,” according to a report by Private Eye.

The British branch of Elbit is competing against US firm Raytheon for the Army Collective Training Service contract. In February, the MoD reduced the shortlist to the two bidders.

If the contract is granted, Elbit would oversee a sweeping overhaul of British army instruction “through digitalisation, simulation, a different relationship with industry, and by changing how and where the military trains.”

This prospective contract follows revelations earlier this month that Elbit signed a $1.64-billion arms deal with Serbia to supply long-range precision rockets and other military systems.

Last month, Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for Palestine, said that “for zion*st companies such as Elbit Systems … the ongoing genocide has been a profitable venture.”

Elbit supplies around 85 percent of the colony’s drones and ground-based hardware, directly fueling its war on Gaza.

Since 2023, Elbit’s British arm has managed the MoD’s Project Vulcan, a £57-million (around $74.1 million) program providing simulation-based training for tank crews. The new $2.7-billion agreement would mark a major escalation of that relationship.

In September, the government suspended 30 of 350 arms export licences to zionist colony after a review found a clear risk of British-made components being used in violations of humanitarian law.

However, export permits for F-35 parts, which are deployed directly in Gaza, were exempt from the freeze.

Private Eye said it asked the MoD whether it considered it appropriate to hand such a contract to a company so deeply involved in the Gaza war, but the ministry did not reply.

Elbit subsidiaries in the UK have been the main target of Palestine Action, which the government banned last month as a terrorist group.
