The "ISIL" extremist group killed a senior Kurdish commander and five fighters Friday in a major attack in Iraq's Kirkuk province, while bombings elsewhere left at least nine dead.

The "ISIL" assault on areas south and west of the northern city of Kirkuk began at around midnight, sparking fighting with medium and heavy weapons that was still ongoing Friday morning, a police brigadier general said.

Brigadier General Shirko Rauf and five other members of the Kurdish peshmerga forces were killed in clashes and 46 more were wounded, the police officer and a doctor said.

The Zionist entity has approved plans for the construction of some 430 new illegal settler unitson occupied Palestinian territories in the West Bank.
Daniel Seidemann, head of the so-called "Terrestrial "Jerusalem" group", which monitors "Israeli" settlement activity on occupied Palestinian land in east Al-Quds, made the announcement on Friday.

The units are expected to be built in four existing settlements across the West Bank. They include 112 in Adam, 156 in Elkana, 78 in Alfei, and 84 in Kiryat Arba.

Seidemann linked the planned settlements to the upcoming election in the Zionist entity, saying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party was seeking to receive settler votes.

More than half a million "Israelis" live in 120 illegal settlements built since "Israel's" occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds.

Following the announcement, Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO] official Wassel Abu Yusef denounced the move by Tel Aviv, saying the expansion of settlements amounted to a "war crime."

"What the "Israelis" announced is part of a wider war... against the Palestinian people," Abu Yusef said.

He warned that the "Israeli" settlement issue would be taken to the International Criminal Court [ICC].
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon recently said that Palestinians would formally join the ICC on April 1, where it plans to complain against "Israeli" crimes.

The ICC has the legal authority to prosecute individuals for war crimes, an issue that Israelis have been repeatedly accused of over the massacre of Palestinians.
