Hamas will hand over the bodies of four Israeli captives, including members of the Bibas family, in Gaza’s Khan Younis this morning as the fragile ceasefire between the two sides continues to hold.
Authorities in Gaza say Israel is preventing the entry of 135,000 mobile homes, most of the 500 bulldozers and other humanitarian aid promised in the first phase of the truce deal.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun reiterates calls for an end to Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon after a deadline for a complete withdrawal expired earlier this week.
Gaza’s Health Ministry has confirmed 48,297 Palestinian deaths in Israel’s war on Gaza, while 111,733 people have been wounded. The Government Media Office updated its death toll to at least 61,709 people, saying thousands of Palestinians missing under the rubble are presumed dead.
At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks and more than 200 taken captive.
