A 17-year-old Palestinian, identified as Karim Sanad Raja Shalaldeh, was fatally shot by a settler security official in Sa'ir, north of Hebron, after a rock-throwing incident, with a 70-year-old man also wounded. The killing follows a surge in settler violence that has increasingly targeted Palestinian self-rule zones.

Separately, Israeli forces killed Fathi Khazem during a raid on Jenin, while settlers torched vehicles, olive trees, and quarry equipment across multiple villages, stealing 170 sheep and assaulting residents. The siege of Qusra families entered its thirteenth day, prompting U.N. rapporteur Francesca Albanese to accuse the military of complicity. Violence in the West Bank has killed 87 Palestinians since the start of 2026.

In a diplomatic escalation, Turkey is seeking an Interpol red notice against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the May interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla. Meanwhile, the World Bank said the Israel-Hezbollah war reversed Lebanon's economic recovery, projecting a 6.4% contraction this year.
