• At least 24 Palestinians have been killed in a spate of Israeli drone and missile attacks throughout northern and central Gaza, with dozens of others wounded.
• Hamas accused Israel of moving the so-called yellow line truce demarcation and advancing westwards in Gaza in breach of the ceasefire agreement last month.
• The Israeli military said it killed three people in Rafah, southern Gaza, who were “likely” part of a group of fighters trapped in an underground tunnel beneath the city since the ceasefire started.
• Lebanon’s Health Ministry said an Israeli air raid targeted a vehicle in the Wadi Salouqi area of the Bint Jbeil district, killing one person, while another attack on the Zawtar al-Sharqiyah region killed another.
• Six Palestinians were injured as a result of an attack by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank town of Beit Ur at-Tahta.
• Thousands of Israelis gathered in Hostage Square in Tel Aviv, demanding the return of the remains of three Israeli captives still held in Gaza.

Police in Northern Ireland did not intervene at protests in support of Palestine Action, while dozens of arrests were made at a similar demonstration in London.

The Metropolitan Police said at least 90 people were detained. The protests come ahead of next week’s legal challenge against the UK government’s move to proscribe Palestine Action as a “terrorist” organisation.

Amnesty International’s programme director in Northern Ireland, Patrick Corrigan, was at the Belfast protest. He described the legal proscription of Palestine Action as “absurd”.

Israeli forces detained a Palestinian man during a raid on the town of Beit Rima, northwest of Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.

Security officials told Wafa news agency his identity was not immediately known. Confrontations broke out following the incursion, though no injuries were reported.

In a separate raid, Israeli troops stormed the nearby village of Deir Ghassaneh, sparking more confrontations without reports of casualties.

The United States has done nothing to rein in Israel’s assaults and crackdowns on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank as it trumpets its Gaza ceasefire efforts.

Israel has carried out 10 air strikes on Khan Younis inside the Gaza ceasefire’s “yellow line” marking areas under Israeli control.

Israeli bombing raids and artillery shelling also targeted the eastern part of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military also blew up buildings east of Gaza City as it continues its truce violations. A total of 497 violations have been recorded since the US-brokered agreement came into force six weeks ago, with nearly 350 Palestinians killed.

Six Palestinians have been wounded as a result of a settler attack on the town of Beit Ur at-Tahta in the central West Bank.

Earlier, Israeli settlers assaulted Palestinian farmers southeast of Masafer Yatta in the southern Hebron area of the occupied West Bank.

Israeli forces and settlers carried out 2,350 attacks across the occupied West Bank last month in an “ongoing cycle of terror”, according to the Palestinian Authority’s Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission.

Israeli attacks on Gaza have resulted in the deaths of 342 civilians – the majority children, women, and the elderly – since the ceasefire came into effect on October 10.

Gaza’s Government Media Office said at least 875 Palestinians were wounded over the past six weeks.

“This confirms the occupation’s determination to undermine the agreement and create a bloody reality on the ground that threatens security and stability in the Gaza Strip,” the office said in a statement.

Israeli attacks included 142 “shooting incidents” targeting civilians, homes, residential neighbourhoods, and displaced people’s tents, it added. There were also 100 demolitions of homes and civilian infrastructure.

“This systematic crime aims to expand destruction and collectively punish the population, constituting a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions,” the press office said.

Municipalities across south Lebanon have condemned the killing of Hussein Yassine Hussein, a member of the town council, in the border village of Hula.

He was targeted by an Israeli air strike in the Bint Jbeil district earlier today.

“We condemn this criminal act that will only add to the perseverance and persistence of our people,” the town of Rab Thalathin said in a statement.

After his army killed two dozen Palestinians in air strikes, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel has fully adhered to the Gaza ceasefire.

At least 24 people were killed and 87 wounded in Gaza on Saturday, including women and children, despite the US-brokered truce.

“Today, Hamas violated the ceasefire again, sending a terrorist into Israel-held territory to attack soldiers. In response, Israel eliminated five senior Hamas terrorists,” the Prime Minister’s Office said.

“Israel has fully honored the ceasefire, Hamas has not. Throughout the ceasefire, dozens of Hamas terrorists have crossed the Israeli lines to attack our troops. We again call on the mediators to insist that Hamas fulfil its side of the ceasefire.”

Gaza authorities have denounced a day of deadly Israeli attacks that killed two dozen Palestinians, including children.

“We condemn in the strongest terms the continued serious and systematic violations of the ceasefire agreement by the Israeli occupation authorities,” said the Government Media Office.

As of Saturday, 497 Israeli violations of the truce have been recorded since the US-brokered ceasefire came into force on October 10, it said.

“These violations constitute a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law and the humanitarian protocol attached to the agreement. Among these violations, 27 occurred today, Saturday, resulting in 24 martyrs and 87 wounded,” the press office said in a statement.

The Palestinian Anti-Wall and Settlement Commission says Israel has seized 1,042 dunams (257 acres) of land in the Tubas and northern Jordan Valley area after issuing nine separate “military seizure” orders.

Commission head Muayyad Shaaban said the nine orders, though issued separately, form one large project to build a 22km (14-mile) road running from Ein Shibli southward to Aqqaba in the north. The planned route cuts through vast agricultural and residential areas and encircles the herding community in Khirbet Yarza.

Shaaban described the move as a major shift in the use of military seizure orders, saying the road is designed as a strategic corridor linking Israeli bases and illegal settlements in the Jordan Valley, tightening control over agricultural land between Tubas, Tammun and Tayasir, and blocking Palestinian geographic continuity.

He warned that, although such orders are nominally temporary, past experience shows 90 percent of “military roads” later become permanent settlement roads, turning seized land into long-term infrastructure serving settlers and fragmenting Palestinian communities.

Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports thousands of people are gathered in Hostage Square in Tel Aviv where organisers are demanding the return of the remains of three Israeli captives still held in Gaza.

It quoted released abductee Raz Ben Ami as saying, “All three must return so we can all get back to living.”

Her husband, fellow freed captive Ohad, added, “Let’s not leave these families alone: let’s not repeat the mistakes of the past.”

Israel’s military says it killed or captured more than a dozen Palestinian gunmen who were trapped in a tunnel under Rafah city in an area under Israeli occupation.

“A short while ago, troops operating in eastern Rafah located and apprehended an additional terrorist who attempted to flee from the underground terror infrastructure in the Rafah area,” the army said in a statement.

“At the end of a 24-hour pursuit, all 17 terrorists who attempted to flee the underground terror infrastructure in eastern Rafah were either eliminated or apprehended.”

The military said 11 Palestinians were killed and six captured.

Soldiers “remain deployed in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any threat, dismantle terror infrastructure and defend in the area”, it added.

A Palestinian man has been wounded after Israeli forces opened fire east of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.

Security sources told the Wafa news agency that soldiers shot the man, a worker in the Wadi al-Homs area, located between the village of al-Khas and the Jerusalem district town of Sour Baher. He was hit in the lower body and transferred to a hospital.

The UN on Friday warned about worsening conditions in the occupied West Bank, reporting a surge in violence that has left civilians facing mounting casualties, displacement and insecurity.

More than 200 Palestinians have now been killed by Israeli forces since the start of the year, including 50 children.

A senior Hamas official has refuted media reports saying the Palestinian group announced the Gaza ceasefire “is over” after repeated Israeli attacks killed more than 300 people since the truce began.

“Israel is fabricating pretexts to evade the agreement and return to the war of annihilation, while it is the one violating the agreement daily and systematically,” Ezzat al-Risheq, member of the Hamas political bureau, told Quds News Network.

“There is no truth to what the Israeli sources published regarding Hamas informing [Steve] Witkoff that the agreement has ended.  We have called on the mediators and the US administration to intervene and compel Israel to implement the agreement.”

Unnamed sources told Saudi state-owned Al Arabiya that Hamas said “the agreement is over” and “Gaza will not become another Lebanon” after Saturday attacks by Israel killed more than 20 people.

One of Israel’s deadliest strikes on Saturday targeted a vehicle in Gaza City. The drone blast killed 11 people and wounded at least 20 others in Remal neighbourhood, said Rami Mhanna, managing director of al-Shifa Hospital, where the casualties were taken.

The majority of the wounded were children, hospital director Muhammad Abu Salmiya said. Video and still images showed children and others inspecting the blackened vehicle with its top blown off.

Another strike targeting a house in Deir el-Balah, in central Gaza, killed three people, including a woman, according to al-Aqsa Hospital.

“Suddenly, I heard a powerful explosion. I looked outside and saw smoke covering the entire area. I couldn’t see a thing. I covered my ears and started shouting to the others in the tent to run,” said Khalil Abu Hatab.

“When I looked again I realised the upper floor of my neighbour’s house was gone. It’s a fragile ceasefire. This is not a life we can live. There’s no safe place.”

Two Palestinians have been shot and wounded after Israeli forces raided the city of Qalqilya in the occupied West Bank.

Troops entered from the eastern side of the city, stormed the Kafr Saba neighbourhood, and fired live rounds and tear gas, Wafa news agency reported, citing local sources. The two men were hit in their lower limbs and transferred to a hospital.

Over the past two years, the Israeli army has used raids not only to kill resistance fighters and civilians but also to bulldoze any public infrastructure in its path. The Israeli government has also empowered Jewish settlers to attack Palestinian communities, as well.
