Live: Israeli soldiers kill unarmed Palestinians as they surrender in Jenin

Two Israeli aerial attacks targeted the vicinity of al-Awda hospital in the Nuseirat refugee camp, central Gaza Strip.

Israel is now launching a number of attacks across the Gaza Strip.

In one bombing west of Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, a house was targeted, killing and wounding a number of Palestinians. 

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority said the Israeli Air Force began a "wave of strikes" in the areas of Beqaa Valley and Nabatieh, south Lebanon.

This comes after an Israeli attack in Zawtar al-Sharqiyah killed one person.

The Israeli army killed at least four and wounded several others after it bombed a civilian vehicle near the Abbas Junction, west of Gaza City. 

Even after the ceasefire agreement last month, the healthcare system in Gaza has remained in crisis under Israel’s blockade, with around only 50 percent of hospitals partially functional, chronic shortages of medicines and equipment, and 229 essential drugs completely unavailable, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

Israel has killed around 70,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 170,000 in two years. 

Israel’s destruction of rehabilitation centres and the displacement or killing of trained staff has created a severe shortage of medical and audiology equipment, Yusra Basil, an audiology specialist at the health ministry, explained.

"Gaza lacks all treatment options for severe hearing loss, including cochlear implants, hearing aids, specialised batteries and medical devices for hearing rehabilitation - all are blocked from entering the strip due to Israel’s closure of border crossings,” she said.

A field survey covering the period of Israel’s war from 2023 to 2025 by Atfaluna Society for Deaf Children found that 35,000 children and adults have lost hearing temporarily, partially or permanently as a direct result of explosions caused by Israeli F-16 strikes and explosive vehicles.

“That’s three times higher than pre-war levels,” Fadi Abed, director of Atfaluna Society, told MEE.

The Palestinian health ministry reported that 318 people have been killed since the truce came into effect last month, with a further 788 wounded.

This raises the overall death toll since October 2023 to at least 69,733, with more than 170,863 others wounded.

Three Palestinians have been wounded by Israeli fire in different areas across the Gaza Strip.

The army has been conducting attacks since Saturday morning in the latest violation of the ceasefire agreement.

Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates:

• Forty-three days into the Gaza ceasefire, Israel continues to violate the truce across the besieged enclave, with local media reporting aerial and artillery bombardment in several areas.

• Gaza's civil defence has decided to postpone the retrieval of Palestinian bodies due to a lack of resources, machinery and laboratory equipment used to identify remains. 

• Settler attacks in the occupied West Bank are escalating. In one case, Al Jazeera’s correspondent reported that settlers chased journalists in the town of Beit Ula, west of Hebron.

• The local Wafa news agency reported that Israeli settlers poisoned livestock in the village of al-Mughayyir, east of Ramallah, killing three sheep. 

• Israeli forces raided several areas across the West Bank, carrying out arrests, detentions, field investigations, assaulting Palestinians and setting up military checkpoints. 

Singapore imposed a financial and physical ban on four Israeli settlers, the foreign minister announced on Friday. 

The sanctions were imposed on Meir Mordechai Ettinger, Elisha Yered, Ben-Zion Gopstein and Baruch Marzel.

"As a firm supporter of international law and the two-state solution, Singapore opposes any unilateral attempts to change facts on the ground through acts which are illegal under international law," the foreign minister said in a statement.

However, it stopped short of banning senior Israelis in government and recognising a Palestinian state. 

All four individuals have been previously sanctioned by the European Union.

Israeli forces killed two Palestinian boys on the outskirts of Jerusalem, the Palestinian Authority (PA) said on  Friday.

"The young man Amr Khaled Ahmed Al-Marbou, 18, and the boy Sami Ibrahim Sami Mashayekh, 16, were martyred by occupation forces gunfire in the town of Kufr Aqab," the Palestinian health ministry said in a statement.

The Palestinian Red Crescent said it transported two people from Kufr Aqab to a hospital during the night, both with gunshot wounds.

Several hundred people took part in the funeral processions for Marbou and Mashayekh on Friday.

Oday al-Shurfa, a friend of Marbou, told AFP he witnessed the incident.

"He was just standing there, not holding or throwing stones," he said.

Shurfa said Marbou was hit "in the chest, in the heart. He collapsed and was martyred on the spot," he said.

A relative of Marbou, who declined to give her name, told AFP, "He was with four others; one of them was also killed, another is in critical condition," and another suffered a serious hand injury.

"What kind of brutality is this?" she said.

Eurovision Song Contest organisers say they will be making voting rule changes on Friday in order to make the system fairer and avoide state interference after controversy surrounding Israel's candidate. 

The move comes after critics say that Israel's promotion of its entry Yuval Rapahel, who was a Hamas captive, lead to him coming second in the competition, along with individuals' multiple voting for the same contestant. 

There was also concern over the transparency of the voting system - which was also echoed by the winner - JJ

The European Broadcasting Union says it will now discourage governments and third parties from "disproportionately promoting" songs to sway voters and say could those who do, could face sanctions.

Israel has not responded to the changes.

A group of seven Italian civil society groups have filed a lawsuit against an arms producer and the Italian government on Friday over supplying arms to Israel.

The lawsuit against state-controlled defence group Leonardo LDOF.MI and the Italian government seeks to dissolve any contracts for the sale and supply of arms to Israel, which they argue is against the law and Italy's own constitution. 

"Israel carries out in the West Bank and Gaza a military occupation and systematic apartheid that are fed with weapons supplied by foreign partners,” the NGO said in a statement.

Leonardo, one of the biggest arms producers in the world, denies the claims. 

An Israeli air strike on southern Lebanon killed one person on Friday in a violation of the existing ceasefire, according to the official National News Agency.

Since the ceasefire came into effect just over a year ago, Israel has killed 331 people and wounded 94 5people, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

A UN special rapporteur has said that Israel's ongoing strikes on Israel are "war crimes" and are undermining ceasefire efforts.

UN special rapporteur Morris Tidball-Binz condemned Israel’s renewed strikes, pointing to the deadly attack on the Ein el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in Sidon on Tuesday, and other assaults across the country.

“This is not an isolated incident but part of a disturbing pattern of lethal strikes in populated areas by Israel, and of total disregard for the ceasefire and for Lebanese peace efforts,” Tidball-Binz said. “These repeated attacks on civilians and civilian objects are war crimes and a violation of the UN Charter.”

“This is not an isolated incident but part of a disturbing pattern of lethal strikes in populated areas by Israel, and of total disregard for the ceasefire and for Lebanese peace efforts,” said Tidball-Binz.

His comments come after Israel conducted an air strike on the Palestinian refugee camp Ein el-Hilweh and other near-daily attacks this week. 

Unicef said on Friday that two children have been killed a day since the implementation of the ceasefire in Gaza.

The UN agency said that at least 67 children had been killed since 10 October.

“Yesterday morning, a baby girl was reportedly killed in Khan Younis by an air strike, while the day before, seven children were killed in Gaza City and the south,” said Ricardo Pires, spokesperson for the UN children’s fund. 

“There's only one party to the conflict in Gaza with the firepower to do air strikes,” Pires also told journalists.

Children's lives continue to remain under threat in Gaza from inadequate healthcare and a lack of food.
