GAZA STRIP (Dispatches) -- Israeli forces carried out deadly strikes in Gaza, demolition orders and settler-protected harvest restrictions in the West Bank, and a wave of airstrikes and incursions across southern Lebanon and Syria on Saturday.
In Gaza, a Palestinian was killed in an Israeli drone strike north of the Nuseirat refugee camp and another died of wounds sustained in an earlier attack in Gaza City, medical sources told Anadolu Agency. 
A separate strike west of Khan Yunis killed one Palestinian and wounded several others, according to Wafa. Several Palestinians were also injured in a strike on a house in Al-Shati refugee camp, one critically. 
Israeli military vehicles and artillery shelled areas across the Strip, and warships opened machine-gun fire toward the Gaza City coastline. Gaza’s Health Ministry says 1,574 Palestinians have been killed in ceasefire violations since October 2025.
In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces ordered the demolition of a tile showroom in Hebron (Al-Khalil)’s Farsh al-Hawa area, giving owners 24 hours to vacate, while armed settlers protected by Israeli troops attempted to prevent Palestinians from harvesting olives east of Yatta. 
The Al-Khalil assault entered its ninth consecutive day, with more than 780 families affected, including 537 forcibly displaced and around 5,000 Palestinians facing siege, particularly in al-Jalda and Deir Baha. 
Reporting from Al Jazeera put the displaced figure at 3,361 people from 537 families, with 262,000 students in 589 schools forced into remote learning and daily economic losses estimated at 10 to 12 million shekels. 
Since the olive harvest season began, at least 135 settler attacks have been recorded as of Oct. 23.
In southern Lebanon, Israeli warplanes struck the area between Nabatieh al-Fawqa and Kfar Tebnit for the second time since morning, while drones flew heavily over Tyre and low-flying aircraft were spotted across the south. 
Strikes and machine-gun fire also targeted Bint Jbeil and Marjayoun districts, with an explosion in Tallousa and gunfire from Khiam toward agricultural land in Ibl al-Saqi. 
The attacks came despite a disgraceful U.S.-brokered framework agreement signed in June. Lebanon’s Health Ministry says 4,386 people have been killed and 12,407 wounded since March 2.
In Syria, Israeli forces kidnapped a Syrian citizen after a ground incursion into Al-Hurriya village in Quneitra’s northern countryside aboard five military vehicles, breaking into homes before withdrawing toward Al-Hamidiya Base. 
Three tanks advanced on the outskirts of Wadi al-Raqad in western Daraa, and a patrol of eight vehicles entered Wadi Abidin, while a government source reported an incursion into vineyards near Beit Jinn farm in Damascus’s western countryside. 
Illumination flares were fired over Breiqa and Bir Ajam. At the Manama Dialogue, Syria’s de facto foreign minister Asaad al-Shaibani said Israel has launched over 1,000 attacks on Syrian territory in less than two years, killing dozens, and demanded a return to the pre-Dec. 8, 2024 lines and implementation of the 1974 disengagement agreement.
On the internal Syrian front, clashes involving French takfiris in Idlib highlighted the challenges facing de facto president Abu Muhammad al-Jolani’s regime in consolidating control. 
His security forces confronted armed members of a group based at a camp housing French foreign fighters near Harem, leaving one fighter dead and a civilian injured, according to Syrian state media. 
The camp, associated with Firqat al-Ghuraba led by Omar Omsen, houses roughly 100 foreign terrorists along with women and children. 
The group accused Damascus of imposing an embargo and surveillance for three months, while a Kurdish media report citing the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights gave a differing account of masked gunmen opening fire on a vehicle carrying a French commander.
