A new report by an international humanitarian consortium has raised serious concerns over alleged sexual violence and coercive practices in the occupied West Bank. Drawing on testimonies collected over a three-year period, researchers describe patterns of abuse, including forced nudity, invasive searches, and public humiliation, allegedly carried out by Israeli soldiers and settlers. The report documents multiple cases of conflict-related sexual violence, while warning that the true scale may be significantly underreported. According to the findings, such acts are not isolated incidents but may be contributing to a broader climate of fear, with some families citing sexualized harassment as a tipping point in their decision to leave their homes.

Israel–Lebanon border tensions are rising after Hezbollah claimed that more than 200 ceasefire violations had occurred since the truce came into effect. The group said it launched rockets and drones in response, marking the first such incident since the ceasefire began. Israel confirmed that rockets were fired toward its forces and said a drone was intercepted before entering its territory. In response, the Israeli military carried out a limited strike on the launcher used in the attack. Meanwhile, Lebanon reported continued shelling in southern areas, adding to concerns that the fragile ceasefire may be under strain. The situation remains tense as both sides exchange accusations over violations.
