Israeli settlers steal goal post from Palestinian children's field Israeli settlers stole a goal post from a Palestinian children's football field in Umm al-Kheir, West Bank, according to Andrey Ilyich Khrzhanovskiy, known online as Andrey X, a Russian-Israeli journalist and activist campaigning against Israeli settler violence in the occupied Palestinian territory.  Surging settler violence in the occupied West Bank has attracted widespread international condemnation. On Friday evening, Israeli settlers killed 19-year-old Palestinian Bahaa Sami Amin Nathsheh in Kobar, north of Ramallah.  In another incident, two Palestinians were injured in an attack by Israeli settlers on the outskirts of the Yabrud town, east of Ramallah.

US sanctions three persons, two charities over alleged Hamas funding The United States has issued sanctions against three individuals and two France-based charities that it said were part of a network that raised more than $2 million for Hamas, and announced six arrests. "These designations expose a sophisticated, multi‑year financing architecture that moved more than $2 million to Hamas through deceptive charitable fronts and cryptocurrency channels, demonstrating the organisation's persistent ability to adapt its fundraising mechanisms to evade detection," the US Treasury said in a statement. Those sanctioned include Saleem Abdallah Saleem al-Zaq, identified as a Hamas member who oversees the financial network and works with the group's media office. The US Justice Department said French authorities had also arrested sanctioned individuals Faouzi Barika and Amel Oualid, who are linked to the France-based charities Association Baraka and Ensemble C Mieux. Both charities were also sanctioned in Friday's action. A third person, Nordine Barika, was also arrested by French authorities in the case, the DOJ said. "Faouzi Barika and Amel Oualid operate from France, where they run purported charities ostensibly to raise money for humanitarian purposes to aid Gazan civilians," the US Treasury said. In the United States, authorities arrested three men for their alleged funding of Hamas through the network, the DOJ said. US authorities said the network had raised more than $2 million from 2020 to 2026, of which $1.5 million was raised after the 7 October 2023 attack by Hamas on Israel. Report by AFP

Meanwhile, Ethiopia's army is advancing toward the Tigrayan capital as fighting intensifies and new explosions rock Addis Ababa. Then, from boardrooms to cocoa fields, a growing number of urban Ivorians are turning to agriculture. On weekends, civil servants, entrepreneurs and traders leave Abidjan behind to tend farms in the countryside, seeking extra income. But running a plantation from afar comes with challenges.
