Here are the latest developments:

  • Israeli air strikes killed at least nine Palestinians in Rafah and Khan Younis on Friday morning, as the assault on Gaza continues.

  • Palestinians in Gaza face severe challenges as Eid al-Adha begins, with Israel's ongoing 20-month war and a tightened aid blockade making traditional celebrations nearly impossible.

  • The US-backed so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) announced on Friday that it has closed all its aid distribution centres across the besieged enclave as Palestinians go hungry on one of the holiest days in the Muslim calendar.

  • Washington has imposed sanctions on four judges from the International Criminal Court (ICC), accusing them of taking part in what it calls “illegitimate and baseless” actions against the United States and its ally, Israel.

  • Israel is preparing to block a boat carrying international activists, including high-profile figures, as it attempts to breach the long-standing Israeli blockade of Gaza - a siege that rights groups have long denounced as collective punishment.
