Knesset member Tsvivi Sokuot demolished a memorial in Madama village south of Nablus on Tuesday morning under protection from Israeli military forces and border police, Shehab Wire reported. The destruction marked another incident in a pattern of attacks targeting Palestinian symbols and landmarks across occupied territory.

Madama, located in the southern Nablus governorate, has experienced repeated incidents of property damage and destruction by Israeli settlers and military-backed operations. The memorial's demolition comes amid heightened tensions and ongoing confrontations between Palestinian communities and Israeli forces in the West Bank.
