Day: October 6, 2026

It’s daily violence like this that West Bank Palestinians in Halhul encounter as settlers terrorize the locals.

The city is famous for its grapes and a new focus of Israeli expansion.

One Palestinian man said he is attacked anytime he is alone.

A child playing soccer was struck by a settler’s rock and had to go to the hospital.

Gangs of settlers show up at homes during the night and try to enter.

A man tells of 200 grape trees that settlers uprooted, yet demonstrates enduring resilience.

“If the roots stay, it will grow again. We are trying to keep the root.”

It’s another longstanding Palestinian community being swallowed by Israel’s territorial insatiability.

Gaza and Hezbollah are soaking up the headlines, but the bigger move could be coming somewhere else entirely:

“I think the real story here is they are preparing to do one major air campaign again against either Iran directly or those Iranian backed militias in Iraq.”

American troops are still sitting in Iraq within reach of those same militias, so who exactly answers for it when they hit back?

That speed says everything about how shaky the advance was, and about how badly outsiders keep misjudging the Houthis:

“The Houthis have a lot of inherent strength that is being completely missed because they’re wearing sandals. It’s like, no, they’ve got real strength.”

Turns out sandals hold ground better than Saudi airstrikes do.
