Live: Israeli soldiers kill unarmed Palestinians as they surrender in Jenin
Live Updates
The military wing of Hamas said it will return the body of Israeli soldier Hadar Goldin to Israel at 2PM local time as part of US President Donald Trump's ceasefire deal.
The Qassam Brigades said that it found Goldin's body on Saturday afternoon in a tunnel in the Yebna camp in Rafah, southern Gaza.
Hamas captured Goldin and reported him killed during an Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip in 2014. He is one of the five remaining meant to be returned to Israel under the current ceasefire deal.

In a post on X, Cooper said in Jordan last week she saw "warehouses full of aid still waiting to get into Gaza even though families are still going hungry."

We earlier reported that Israeli forces shot and injured a Palestinian man in the Far’a refugee camp, south of Tubas in the north of the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian health ministry identified the man as Abdel Rahman Darawsha, saying that he died of his wounds.
“Darawsha was struck by bullets and rushed by a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance to Tubas Governmental Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead due to the severity of his injuries,” the Wafa news agency reported the ministry saying.
Around two thousand protesters rallied on the main street near the Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv, for the first time since the ceasefire agreement took effect.
The police forcefully removed a stand by "Looking the Occupation in the Eye," an activist group opposing Israel's occupation of the West Bank, Haaretz reported. The police claimed that the stand blocked the planned route of the march.

The Palestine Red Crescent said it was treating the 24-year-old.
Israeli settlers attacked a group of Palestinian villagers, activists and journalists on Saturday who had gathered during an attempt to harvest olives near a settler outpost in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, witnesses said.
Two Reuters employees - a journalist and a security adviser accompanying her - were among those injured in the attack by the men who wielded sticks and clubs and hurled large rocks, in an area close to the Palestinian village of Beita.
Such attacks have escalated during this year's olive harvest, which began in October.
As the number of such attacks has climbed, Israeli and other activists have often joined Palestinians to support them and their right to harvest their olive groves, while also documenting any violence.
A Palestinian child was killed after an explosive device left behind by Israeli forces in the city of Khan Younis detonated, Al Jazeera reported, citing Nasser Hospital.
Mahmoud Basal, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Civil Defence, told the network last month that Israel dropped at least 200,000 tonnes of explosives on the territory, with roughly 70,000 tonnes failing to detonate.
The Israeli military is preparing to receive the body of a deceased captive from the Gaza Strip, according to a report by Haaretz.
Al Jazeera earlier reported Hamas saying that it had retrieved the body of Israeli soldier Hadar Goldin from southern Gaza’s Rafah area.
The Israeli military says it shot at two people, one fatally, claiming that they crossed the yellow line and approached Israeli soldiers operating in northern Gaza.
The army also said it killed another Palestinian in southern Gaza, who it said had crossed the yellow line.
Yellow Line is the newly created boundary to which the Israeli forces withdrew on 10 October at the start of the Gaza ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.
The partial withdrawal left Israel in control of roughly 53 percent of Gaza.
It was February 2020.
At the time, I read of a young man named Zohran Mamdani, running for an assembly seat in Astoria, Queens.
I thought the name sounded familiar and it wasn't long before the penny dropped and it became obvious that he was the son of the Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani - whom many of us had read to better understand the so-called War on Terror - and famed director Mira Nair - whom many of us had admired for her intimate socio-cultural commentaries.
Curious, I wrote to his campaign team and asked if I could have a call with him.
As someone with a background similar to my own, being of South Asian origin from the African continent, Mamdani felt like a familiar figure.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt to be reopened for urgent medical evacuations of 16,500 Palestinian patients in Gaza.
“The Rafah crossing is a vital exit for medical evacuations and a key entry for health supplies into Gaza. Egypt remains one of the main destinations for patients needing urgent care,” WHO wrote in a post on X.
The agency said about 4,000 Palestinian patients have left Gaza through Rafah for treatment in Egypt and elsewhere.
Medical supplies for Gaza, meanwhile, “are on standby at the border”, it added.

The Palestinian Health Ministry has reported that the death toll in Gaza has risen to 69,169 Palestinians since October 2023, after more dead bodies were found in the debris.
Health officials in Gaza said 284 people were added to the total after they were able to verify the identity of the bodies.
The update to the death toll comes a month after the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, as authorities in Gaza struggle to retrieve bodies due to limited equipment and resources.
The health officials added that over the past three days, ten bodies were brought to Gaza's last remaining hospitals.
Nine of those bodies were found under the rubble and one Palestinian who died from recent Israeli bombardment.
Turkey has issued arrest warrants for genocide against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior officials in his government over the war on Gaza.
The Istanbul chief public prosecutor's office on Friday announced arrest orders for 37 senior Israeli officials, including Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and army chief Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir.
The officials are accused of committing genocide and crimes against humanity in Gaza, as well as ordering attacks on the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was carrying humanitarian aid to the blockaded enclave.
Israel condemned the move, with Foreign Minister Gideon Saar saying it "firmly rejects, with contempt" the charges, and calling them "the latest PR stunt by [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan".
The Turkish prosecutor's statement said Israel's actions in Gaza since October 2023 have included systematic attacks on civilians, hospitals and critical infrastructure.
Palestinian group Islamic Jihad handed over the body of a deceased captive late on Friday as part of the Gaza ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.
The Israeli military confirmed on Saturday it had obtained the body of Lior Rudaeff, after identifying him.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's official added that a coffin carrying the remains of Rudaeff was handed over to Israeli forces via the Red Cross.
Islamic Jihad said Rudaeff, who was taken from Kibbutz Nir Yitzchak on 7 October 2023, was found in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis.
