- Israeli soldiers stormed the occupied West Bank city of Nablus in the early hours and detained approximately 40 Palestinians, including a woman and former prisoners.
- Israeli settlers established a new outpost on land belonging to the Palestinian village of Deir Istiya in the Salfit governorate.
Why it matters: The raid and the settler expansion hit Palestinian communities on two fronts simultaneously — mass detention in Nablus and permanent land loss in Salfit — with the outpost formalizing control over Deir Istiya's territory in the same news cycle.
