from al Jazeera

  • More than half a million displaced Palestinians have returned to northern Gaza after 15 months of war, according to the enclave’s Government Media Office.
  • At least two Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza in the past day and two others have succumbed to their injuries as 59 bodies have been recovered from the rubble, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.
  • In the occupied West Bank, two Palestinians have been confirmed killed by Israeli forces, and dozens of homes, along with a prayer hall and a restaurant, have been destroyed as the Israeli military continues an operation in Jenin for a second week.
  • UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini warns that an Israeli ban on the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, due to start on Thursday, will affect millions of people and place Gaza’s ceasefire in “jeopardy”.
  • Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 47,417 Palestinians and wounded 111,571 since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day and more than 200 were taken captive.
