❗️Statement by Hamas:
"The Zionist occupation forces continue to perpetrate crimes against our people in the West Bank amidst the horrific massacres targeting our brethren in the Gaza Strip and the ongoing genocide against innocent civilians. The latest chapter of these crimes occurred at dawn today in Al-Ain Camp, west of Nablus, where special occupation forces cold-bloodedly assassinated the young man, Oday Adel Al-Qatouni.
As we mourn the martyred hero Oday al-Qatouni, we call upon our masses in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the occupied interior to escalate the general mobilization and continue the uprising against the occupation and its settlers, in support of our people in Gaza and in response to the ongoing aggression on the West Bank camps.
We urge our rebellious youth to persist in confrontation by all available means, reaffirming the message of strength and resilience. Our people will not bow before the occupation's crimes; rather, these atrocities will only strengthen our resolve and fuel the expanding fire that will consume the criminal occupier."
Israeli occupation forces shot and wounded two young men, Oday al-Qatouni and Farouq Khaled, in Al-Ain camp, west of Nablus, before abducting them.
Oday al-Qatouni later succumbed to his injuries, and his body remains in Israeli custody.

⭕️ In the most significant move since Israel's occupation of the area following the fall of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024, Israeli forces conducted a large-scale incursion into Syria's Quneitra province. On Tuesday evening, a substantial Israeli military convoy, comprising approximately 50 vehicles—including armored and reconnaissance units—entered the village of Al-Adnaniyah in the Quneitra countryside. This operation marked the largest Israeli incursion into the region to date.
The following day, Israeli occupation forces advanced into the buffer zone between the towns of al-Asha and al-Rafid, deploying over 30 military vehicles, including tanks, bulldozers, and armored personnel carriers. Local sources reported that the incursion extended to the Al-Jamous Company area, accompanied by intense Israeli reconnaissance flights. During this operation, Israeli forces reportedly razed former Syrian regime military sites, notably the Abu Darwish Company near Al-Nasiriya in the Quneitra countryside.
"This incursion isn't random; Israel aims to displace residents by creating a hostile military environment, which is part of a systematic policy of demographic cleansing," said Saeed al-Mohammad, a citizen and activist from Quneitra to The New Arab.

⭕️ At least 420 Palestinians have been killed since early Tuesday morning, the Gaza Government Media Office said.
Over 170 of those killed since the morning are children, while over 100 others are women and elderly, the Gaza Health Ministry reported.
According to the director of Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital, wounded Palestinians are dying “every minute” due to a severe lack of medical resources caused by the brutal campaign Israel has waged against the strip’s health sector.
The Israeli military resumed its air raid campaign on the Gaza Strip in the early hours of 18 March, killing hundreds in the first few hours.
The attacks came nearly two months after a ceasefire agreement, which Tel Aviv has repeatedly violated since its signing in January.
