Three Palestinians have died in a clash with Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, as violence has spiked during new war in the Middle East. The Israeli military says settlers attacked Palestinians near Khirbet Abu Falah on Sunday and that two men died from gunfire. It says a third man died from suffocation, likely from tear gas. Earlier attacks in the week killed three Palestinians. The military has condemned the settler violence and opened a criminal investigation, but rights groups say authorities rarely prosecute settlers. The Palestinian Red Crescent says new gates and closures also slow ambulances and first responders.

U.S. Secret Service says an armed man was shot and killed after entering the secure perimeter of Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, Florida. Although Trump often spends weekends at his resort, he was at the White House when the breach occurred early Sunday morning. Authorities say the man had a gas can and a shotgun. The FBI says investigators have identified him as 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin of North Carolina. Investigators have not identified a motive. However, Trump has faced threats to his life before, including two assassination attempts during the 2024 campaign.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is opening up about his Jewish faith at a pivotal moment in his political rise. The Democratic governor is eyeing a reelection this fall in one of the nation’s most important swing states. If he wins, it could propel him into the very top of his party’s presidential nomination fight. But he’s also navigating physical and political risks that have threatened his family’s life and his standing in a party that’s deeply divided by Israel's war in Gaza. Shapiro spoke about these challenges in a recent interview with The Associated Press.
About 3,000 people have joined a far-right march in the French city of Lyon after a 23-year-old nationalist activist died from a beating last week. On Saturday, President Emmanuel Macron urged calm and called for respect and responsibility as police closely monitored events. Prosecutors have charged seven suspects after a clash between far-left and far-right supporters near a student meeting. Macron said he plans a government review of violent activist groups linked to political parties. He said no political violence is legitimate. The death also sparked a fierce political backlash, with critics blaming a far-left party and its leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who condemns the violence.
The Palestinian Health Ministry and a witness say that Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank shot and killed a Palestinian American in an attack on a village. Resident Raed Abu Ali says the attack took place Wednesday in the village of Mukhmas. The Israeli military said its soldiers responded to a violent confrontation there and tried to disperse a riot. Separately, the Committee to Protect Journalists has reported that detained Palestinian journalists faced beatings, stress positions and medical neglect while in Israeli detention. The U.N. says Gaza’s destruction is so vast that clearing rubble alone will take seven years.
Israeli prosecutors say on Monday they plan to charge a settler in the killing of a Palestinian activist during a confrontation that was caught on video. That would open a rare prosecution of violence by Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank. Attacks from settlers and home demolitions by authorities have spiked dramatically over the past two years. But the death in July of Awdah Hathaleen has drawn particular attention due to his involvement in the 2025 Oscar-winning film “No Other Land.” The case also stands out because the confrontation was captured on video from multiple vantage points.
