Here’s a summary of recent developments from Israel's ongoing war on Palestine:

  • The number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since October 2023 has risen to 53,901, the Palestinian health ministry said on Saturday. At least 122,593 have been wounded since the war began, it added.

  • A Palestinian paediatrician received the charred bodies of nine of her children while on duty at the hospital after an Israeli strike hit her home in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

  • Hamas has said that testimonies from Palestinian detainees and Israeli soldiers in a news report by the Associated Press documented “heinous crimes committed by” Israel. 

  • Around 20 journalists' associations in France, including those affiliated with France 24, Le Monde, and Radio France Internationale, have called on Paris to evacuate journalists in Gaza working for French outlets. 

  • Israeli settlers have damaged water pipes supplying Palestinian families in the al-Auja waterfall area, north of Jericho in the occupied West Bank.
