Attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have increased
Attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have increased, as settlers exploit movement restrictions imposed by the Israeli army since the start of its offensive against Iran, according to reports. At least five Palestinians have been killed in recent days.
Rights groups and medical teams said settlers had intensified assaults on Palestinian villages and towns, taking advantage of military checkpoints that restrict Palestinian movement and delay ambulances from reaching the wounded.
The Israeli army has closed many roads across the West Bank with iron gates and earth mounds since the first day of the offensive. It has also shut most crossings with Israel, describing the measures as pre-emptive security steps.
In a related context, the United Nations said about 700 Palestinians had been displaced by settler attacks since the start of 2025 until early February 2026.
Meanwhile, the Israeli government has continued to expand settlement activity in the West Bank. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the settlement building campaign aims to undermine the idea of establishing a Palestinian state.

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on Wednesday welcomed the Spanish government’s decision to withdraw its ambassador from Israel and reduce its diplomatic representation.
In a statement received by Quds Press, the movement said the step continues what it described as the honourable positions of the Spanish government and people in rejecting what is happening in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas said the decision reflects opposition to what it called the genocide faced by the Palestinian people in Gaza, as well as rejection of Israeli violations of international law. It described the move as a noble position that shows a genuine commitment to humanitarian values.
The movement praised what it called Spain’s “courageous” stance and urged other countries to take similar measures, including cutting various forms of relations with Israel.
It also called for international pressure on Tel Aviv to stop what it described as ongoing crimes and attacks against Palestinians, as well as assaults that it said affect other peoples in the region.

…
Rudderless and unprincipled, Britain bobs along in the wake of a crazed US regime which is bulldozing the architecture of international law and the entire postwar system.
The shadow of fascism we see in the Trump administration’s brutal domestic record — especially the lethal violence inflicted on US cities by the Ice agency — looms in its foreign policy too.
We know that Marco Rubio at the Munich Security Conference cited the end of the second world war as the moment European greatness died and its “vast empires” began their retreat before “godless communist revolutions and anti-colonial uprisings.”
We know that Trump has resumed the open celebration of conflict characteristic of fascism, renaming the Defence Secretary the Secretary of War; and that that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth says openly and repeatedly that the US no longer cares about the legality of its conduct.
This year, so far, has been one of uninterrupted US aggression on multiple fronts. And if Donald Trump is not stopped, that aggression will keep escalating until we are faced with world war between nuclear powers.
Ignore the ranting Islamophobes of the right: it is not the anti-war left repeating Neville Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement. Trump’s United States is the rampaging power threatening world peace. The appeasers are those who won’t stand up to him.
So it is important to be clear. Victory for the US and Israel in Iran would be far more dangerous for the world than any other outcome in this war.
That is nothing to do with sympathising with the Iranian state or political system. It is simply acknowledging the reality that if Trump wins he is going to start more and bigger wars: and this one is already engulfing much of the Middle East.
So we must challenge the despatch of British ships to the Gulf, the use of British bases to attack Iran and any engagement of British forces in this war. We are assisting a calamitous project that threatens the whole world.
The public are with us; some MPs, though not enough, are speaking out. But it will take a political revolution to detach Britain from the US war machine. That should now be a priority task for everyone on the left.

A US service member has succumbed to injuries sustained during an Iranian attack on US troops in Saudi Arabia on March 1, bringing the death toll of US service members to seven, US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced Sunday, Anadolu reports.
“The service member was seriously wounded at the scene of an attack on US troops in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” CENTCOM said on the US social media company X, adding that the person died last night.
The identity of the fallen member will be withheld until next of kin are notified, it said.
All of the previously reported deaths were from an attack in Kuwait; this is the first death reported outside that country.
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned that more casualties are likely as the campaign continues. “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends,” he said earlier this month, noting “we’ll do everything possible where that won’t be the case.”
The announcement came as the US-Israeli joint attacks on Iran entered their ninth day.
The campaign, launched last Saturday, has reportedly killed more than 1,200 people in Iran, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting US military assets and Gulf countries across the region.

Starmer attempts to make up with the warmongering US president as tens of thousands protest against the bombing of Iran over the weekend
SIR KEIR STARMER attempted to make friends with Donald Trump today after the warmongering US president criticised Britain’s slowness in joining the US-Israeli attack on Iran.
The Prime Minister spoke to Mr Trump about the countries’ military co-operation, Downing Street said, after the decision not to grant permission for use of British bases in the first wave of military action prompted a raft of criticism from the Republican leader.
Sir Keir has now granted permission for “defensive” US action against Iranian missile sites from British bases, despite opposition to war from the British public.
Over the weekend, four US bombers landed in RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, and the US started using British bases for “specific defensive operations.”
…
It came as tens of thousands gathered in protest against the bombing of Iran over the weekend.
Protesters carried signs reading “Stop Trump’s Wars” and “Stop Arming Israel,” as they marched to the US embassy in central London from Millbank.
Addressing the crowd outside the embassy, Your Party MP Zarah Sultana recalled the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, telling the crowd: “Back then, we were told that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
“We were told that war would bring peace and democracy.
“We were told that the war would protect Iraqis and protect the world, but the truth was very different.”
But “23 years ago, when we marched against the Iraq war, we were ignored,” she said.
“We will not be ignored again, because history proved them right.
“And today, we raise our voices for peace, for justice and for a world where governments learn the lessons of the past.”
A statement from former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who could not attend the protest, was read to the crowd outside the embassy.
In the statement, Mr Corbyn, now also a Your Party MP, said: “For too long, the UK has blindly followed the US as it indulges in catastrophic interventions around the world.
“We are here to defend something different, a foreign policy based on co-operation, equality and sovereignty.
“Forever war is not a game. It has real-life human consequences, and US and Israel must be held accountable.”
…
Stop the War Coalition convener Lindsey German said every war “they have engaged in in the last 25 years, they’ve claimed they’ve done it to liberate women.”
“That’s what they’re saying about the war on Iran as well,” she said. “But the first thing that they did was to kill 165 young girls in a school.
“We should never, ever believe their lies.”
She told Sir Keir: “Stop appeasing Donald Trump all the way to world war three.
“We’re absolutely fed up with this gangster imperialism.”
