A disturbing video from the occupied West Bank village of Atara near Ramallah has triggered widespread outrage after a masked man, allegedly identified as an Israeli settler, was filmed assaulting a guard dog during a reported raid. The footage, now circulating widely online, has intensified concerns over escalating violence and intimidation allegations in Palestinian communities across the region. According to local residents and reports cited by Haaretz, the dog survived the assault despite sustaining injuries during the incident. Residents also allege that settlers entered the village area, grazed livestock between homes, and attempted to intimidate families living in Atara. WATCH

Spirit Airlines has announced an immediate shutdown of operations after failing to secure a $500 million bailout, cancelling all flights and leaving passengers stranded. The airline said it has begun an “orderly wind-down,” with customer services also halted and refunds not guaranteed. Travellers are being advised to seek chargebacks through their banks. The collapse comes after mounting financial pressure, including rising jet fuel costs linked to the ongoing Iran conflict, which significantly increased operating expenses for airlines.
