Gaza live: Several dead including Hezbollah commander after Israeli strike on southern Beirut

The Israeli army is conducting an internal investigation after forged documents claimed to have been retrieved from the Gaza Strip were leaked to foreign media in a bid to shape public opinion on captive negotiations, the Israeli Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported. 

Over the weekend, the German newspaper Bild reported that a Hamas document found on the computer of leader Yahya Sinwar outlined the group's tactics to pressure Israel and delay hostage talks.

The document’s contents, which reportedly claimed that Hamas aims to create divisions within Israeli society and is not in a hurry to reach a deal, closely mirrored points made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in recent interviews and press conferences.

Yedioth Ahronoth reported that an internal investigation to identify those who are potentially manipulating classified Hamas documents, seized in Gaza or allegedly obtained from Hamas, and leaking them to international media to sway Israeli public opinion regarding a captive deal.

According to the paper this matter has sparked significant concern and anger within the Israeli security establishment and is expected to further escalate tensions between the establishment and the country's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his associates, tensions that were already at a peak due to deep disagreements over the deal.

The UN agency assisting Palestinians (Unrwa) reports that its social workers are actively engaging with families and communities to spread awareness about the benefits of polio vaccination, as efforts to immunise children continue.

"Yesterday, the campaign focused on southern Gaza. It will soon expand to northern areas to reach more children," Unrwa shared in an Instagram post.

Israeli forces have pulled out of Jenin after a 10-day assault, but the military has denied it is ending its operation in the occupied West Bank.

The offensive, which has so far left at least 39 Palestinians dead, saw soldiers backed by armoured vehicles and bulldozers targeting the city and its adjacent refugee camp, forcing the flight of many of the residents.

Tensions in the West Bank were raised even further on Friday when a US citizen was reportedly shot dead by Israeli troops near Nablus.

Palestinians started returning to their Jenin homes on Friday, while those who had been trapped by the offensive were able to venture outside for the first time in more than a week.

One resident of the refugee camp said the Israelis left early in the morning.

The European Union's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, will embark on a multi-day trip to the Middle East starting on Sunday, focusing on advocating for a ceasefire.

His itinerary will include stops in Egypt and Lebanon but notably excludes Israel.

According to the EU Foreign Service office in Brussels, Borrell will meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Cairo on Monday and then visit the Rafah border crossing to Gaza.

A meeting with mediators from Egypt, Qatar and the United States is also a priority on his agenda.

The Qatar Red Crescent Society has partnered with UNRWA through a $4.5 million grant from a Qatari state development fund. This initiative aims to assist over 4,400 Palestinian workers and patients from Gaza who are currently stranded in the West Bank.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak has said that Israel is faltering in the Gaza Strip, lacking both a strategy and a clear plan of action, according to the Israel Hayom newspaper.

Barak further remarked that Israel was closer to defeat than to achieving a decisive victory.

The UN agency for Palestinians, Unrwa, and the Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) signed an agreement on Sunday to aid more than 4,400 Palestinian workers and patients from Gaza stranded in the occupied West Bank.

The Qatar Fund for Development will provide Unrwa and the Qatar Red Crescent with $4.5m to provide assistance to Palestinians from Gaza in the West Bank, according to a statement by QRCS.

"Thousands of Palestinian refugees from Gaza remain trapped in the West Bank, stuck in a painful limbo, and cut off from their loved ones and livelihoods," Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of Unrwa, said.

Gaza's Health Ministry has reported that Israeli forces have killed 33 Palestinians and wounded another 145 in the last 24 hours.

The Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza City has said its emergency teams have recovered the bodies of four people following an earlier attack by Israeli forces on two homes near the Sabra area.

Israeli forces have launched two more attacks in northern Gaza, the Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza City is reporting.

The attacks targeted homes belonging to the Qarout and al-Fakhouri families in the Sabra area, near al-Istijabah Mosque south of Gaza City.

Israeli media have identified the three victims of the deadly Allenby Bridge shooting earlier today.

Israeli newspapers Haaretz and The Jerusalem Post named the victims as Yohanan Shchori, 61, from the illegal West Bank settlement of Ma’ale Efraim, Yuri Birnbaum, 65, from the settlement of Na’ama and Adrian Marcelo Podzamczer from the settlement of Ariel.

Earlier, the Israeli army clarified that the victims worked as private security guards at the crossing.

Hamas has issued a statement responding to the deadly shooting attack at the Allenby Bridge crossing between the West Bank and Jordan, saying that it was a "response to the crimes of the occupation".

It added that the shooting was "an affirmation of our nation's stance with our people and the resistance", and "confirmation of the Arab peoples' rejection of the Israel occupation and its crimes and ambitions in Palestine and Jordan".

Israeli media has revealed the identity of the alleged attacker who shot three Israelis at the West Bank-Jordan crossing earlier today as a Jordanian citizen named Maher Dhiab Hussein al-Jazi, 39.

The Times of Israel is reporting that Jazi came from the southern Jordan town of Udhruh, east of Petra.

The death toll of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza has risen to 40,972 since 7 October, with another 94,761 people wounded, Gaza's Health Ministry has reported.

Sixty-nine percent of children in Gaza under the age of 10 have received their first dose of the polio vaccine, the enclave's Ministry of Health said today.

The ministry said in a statement that this had been achieved within a week of launching the first phase of the UN-led vaccination campaign.

The campaign, which is being conducted in collaboration with Unrwa, the World Health Organisation and Unicef, continues in Deir el-Balah and Khan Younis, and has so far vaccinated 441,647 children, as of Saturday evening.

The ministry added that the first phase of the campaign would continue in the Gaza and North Gaza governorates.
