At least 7 Palestinians killed and 12 injured in an Israeli raid in Yenin, in the northern West Bank
Seven Palestinians were killed on Tuesday in clashes unleashed in an Israeli Army rad in the Yenin refugee camp, in the north of the West Bank, one of the bastions of the Palestinian militia movement.
In addition, twelve Palestinians are injured, two of them in serious condition, according to the Ministry of Health.
Local sources informed the Palestinian agency Wafa that a journalist, Amr Manasra, was injured in the back in the vicinity of the Yenin hospital by shrapnel of Israeli bullets. Its state is stable, according to the latest information.
Among the dead are a surgeon from the Yenun hospital, Aseed Jabareen, “attacked at the entrances to the medical center,” teacher Allam Jadarat and a student who were in a school, according to the director of the hospital cited by the official Palestinian agency Wafa.
Wafa assures that Israeli forces broke into the Yenin camp with armored vehicles, which unleashed armed clashes both in the countryside and in other neighborhoods of the city and in the nearby village of Burqin.
For its part, the Israeli Army has limited itself to confirming its operation in Yenin, which it defined as “anti-terrorist.”
“These crimes will not stop the resistance of our people and their persistent quest to liberate their land, their holiness and achieve their national rights,” said the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas in a statement on what they consider an extension of the war in Gaza.
Likewise, the group reproached the international community for “its silence” for not “condemning the aggressions” against its people and for not taking “deterrent measures” against Israel to assume the responsibilities of its “massacres.”
The occupied West Bank is experiencing its greatest spiral of violence since the Second Intifada (2000-05). So far this year, at least 184 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, most of them alleged militiamen or attackers, but also civilians, including more than thirty minors, according to the EFE count.
On the Israeli side, ten people have been killed in eight Palestinian attacks in 2024, including four uniformed personnel and six civilians, three of them settlers.
In Lebanon, the Israeli Army confirmed that it had killed a Hizbulah commander, Qasam Saqlawi, in charge of rockets and missiles, in an attack in the Tyre area.
“Yesterday, Monday, in the Tyre area of Lebanon, an Air Force plane attacked and eliminated the terrorist Qasam Saqlawi, commander of the set of rockets and missiles in the coastal sector of Hizbulah,” a military statement reported.
The Army attributes to Saqlawi the responsibility of planning and executing numerous rocket attacks against Israel, as well as anti-tank missiles.
Hezbollah – who yesterday claimed up to 13 attacks on Israel with missiles, rockets and artillery – confirmed this morning the death of a member of the same name, without offering details about his position or the circumstances of his death.
The border between Israel and Lebanon is experiencing its highest peak of tension since 2006 with an intense exchange of fire since October, which has claimed the lives of at least 423 people, most of them on the Lebanese side and in the ranks of Hezbollah, which has confirmed 286 militia casualties, some in Syria.
In northern Israel, 23 people, 13 soldiers and 10 civilians have died.

Interpol Operation Leads to 8,700 Arrests and Massive Drug Seizures Across Latin America
Interpol and the Organization of American States (OAS) announced the arrest of more than 8,700 people and the seizure of over 3,300 firearms and 56 tons of illegal drugs across 20 countries in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean following a six-week multinational security operation.
According to a statement released by the OAS, the operation — known as Operation Orca XI — was carried out between October 15 and November 30, 2025, under the coordination of Interpol, with support from the OAS and funding from the European Union.
The operation resulted in 8,701 arrests linked to illegal firearm possession, drug trafficking, and other criminal activities. Authorities also confiscated nearly 200,000 rounds of ammunition, $256,025 in cash, and 210 vehicles connected to criminal operations.
Participating countries additionally reported the seizure of 6.9 tons of cocaine, 659,403 coca plants, 9.3 tons of coca paste, 38.5 tons of marijuana, two tons of methamphetamine, and 11 kilograms of ketamine.
In its statement, the OAS emphasized that illegal arms trafficking in the region is closely tied to other forms of organized crime, including drug trafficking, human trafficking, migrant smuggling, and cybercrime.
“Criminal organizations behind these crimes often use the same routes for multiple illicit goods,” the organization stated, adding that Operation Orca XI exposed the strong links between these criminal networks.

Rubio and Lavrov Hold Talks After Large-Scale Russian Assault on Ukraine
The United States remains willing to mediate in the war between Russia and Ukraine, Secretary of State Marco Rubiosaid Tuesday following a large-scale Russian attack against Kyiv.
“Every time you see these large attacks by either side, it is a reminder of why this is a terrible war (…) that must come to an end,” Rubio told reporters after holding a phone conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Speaking during an official visit to India, Rubio stated that the United States is “ready and prepared to do whatever it can” to help facilitate an end to the conflict.
“We hope the opportunity presents itself at some point,” he added.
Russia warned on Monday that it could launch additional strikes against Kyiv, including attacks targeting what it described as “decision-making centers,” after carrying out weekend bombardments involving dozens of drones and missiles across Ukraine. The attacks reportedly killed four people.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Lavrov urged the United States during the call to evacuate diplomats from its embassy in Kyiv.
Rubio later clarified that Moscow had issued a warning to all embassies in the Ukrainian capital, not only to the U.S. diplomatic mission.
