GAZA STRIP: At least 93 people in Gaza have been killed by Israeli attacks since the beginning of the October 10 ceasefire, Gaza’s Health Ministry says.
The United Nations says at least 1.5 million in the Gaza Strip need “emergency assistance”, as Palestinians returning to their homes say they are finding only rubble amid a constant struggle for necessities, including food and water.
Following a meeting with Palestinian factions in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, Hamas says it has agreed to an independent committee of technocrats administering post-war Gaza.
US top diplomat Marco Rubio has rejected the involvement of both UNRWA and Hamas in the future of Gaza while on a visit to Israel to oversee the ceasefire.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 68,280 people and wounded 170,375 since October 2023. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, attacks, and about 200 were taken captive.
The Israeli navy intercepted and arrested three Palestinian fishermen after destroying their fishing equipment off the coast of Gaza City, Wafa reported, quoting local sources.
Senior Hamas official Abdul Rahman Shadid criticized “the continued and escalating brutal attacks” carried out by settlers in the occupied West Bank as they target Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest season.
Medical sources in Gaza told media that Israeli fire has wounded at least six Palestinians in various parts of the territory so far on Satyrday.
An Israeli attack destroyed a civilian vehicle in the town of Harouf in the Nabatieh governorate, killing one and wounding another.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio promised to secure the return of all deceased captives still held in Gaza, as he met the families of two dead Israeli-American captives during his visit to Israel.
Settler violence across the occupied West Bank has significantly increased since Israel’s war on Gaza began in October 2023.
This year is the highest on record for these types of attacks against Palestinians who are rendered defenceless in the face of multiple threats, whether it’s settler violence or Israeli military raids, and oftentimes it’s both of these two things together.
Israeli settlers are attacking the Palestinians under the protection of Israeli forces but in the last couple of weeks, in particular, in the olive harvest season, we have seen a lot of incidents of pretty severe violence by the settlers who are emboldened by a right-wing government in Israel.
Several Palestinians have been injured and it’s not just attacks on the people themselves.
It’s attacks on the land, on olive trees, attacks on infrastructure they use every single day, and Palestinians say this is just another reality of living life under Israeli occupation, with no one to help them or protect them.
As far as we understand, the US president will be meeting with the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, along with the Qatari prime minister, on board Air Force One while it is refuelling here on his way to Malaysia.
We understand Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be joining that meeting.
The secretary of state has been spending the past two days in Israel, where he has met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as US forces, about 200 of them on the ground there, facilitating this group that is in charge of overseeing the implementation of the ceasefire in Gaza.
He has also been meeting with the families of the remaining captives, whose bodies they are waiting for Hamas to return, there are 13 remaining bodies that Israeli families are waiting for. (Int’l Monitoring Desk)
