• The Israeli military killed at least 25 Palestinians, including 12 aid seekers, across Gaza. In addition, 11 more people, including children, died of starvation imposed by Israel, according to the enclave’s Ministry of Health.

• Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians will start being forcibly displaced towards southern Gaza, beginning tomorrow, the Israeli army has said, as it advances with plans to seize Gaza City in the north.

• Hamas said Israel is carrying out a “systematic destruction” of Gaza City and its Zeitoun neighbourhood as it besieges the area with warplanes, artillery and explosive robots.

• Tens of thousands of Israelis in Tel Aviv protested the government’s plans for Gaza and called for a comprehensive deal to bring back all captives as they prepare for a general strike on Sunday.

• Israeli soldiers shot dead an 18-year-old Palestinian boy during a raid on the al-Mughayyir village in the occupied West Bank’s Ramallah, where settlers had attacked hours earlier.

• A senior Israeli cyber official working directly under Benjamin Netanyahu is facing felony charges over trying to lure a child for a sex act in Las Vegas, but has already been allowed to return to Israel.

• Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the Israeli prime minister “is now a problem in himself”, adding that the time is not currently right to support a Palestinian state.

Israeli forces have stormed the village of Susiya in the Masafer Yatta area, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, sources on the ground told our colleagues.

The raid comes after reports of Israeli forces storming the town of Kafr Dan, west of Jenin, and setting fire to a house.


A group of Egyptian journalists gathered to remember Al Jazeera journalists killed by Israel in Gaza in an attempt to silence their reporting ahead of a plan to occupy Gaza City and other parts of the enclave.

Numerous protests and vigils worldwide have hailed the journalists and condemned Israel for the assassinations, which it carried out based on unproven claims that media workers in Gaza are Hamas operatives.
