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

The death toll in the Gaza Strip since the start of Israel's genocide in October 2023 has risen to 68,865, the Palestinian health ministry announced. The majority of victims are women and children.

The ministry added on Sunday that the number of wounded had increased to 170,670. 

It said the bodies of seven victims arrived at hospitals in the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours, including three recently killed Palestinians, three recovered from under the debris, and one who succumbed to their wounds.

Since the ceasefire took effect on 11 October, 236 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and at least 600 others wounded.

Israeli forces detained at least 21 Palestinians during raids across the occupied West Bank on Sunday, including children.

In the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, three minors aged between 15 and 16, were detained after Israeli forces stormed several homes, Wafa news agency reported.

Others were detained in Bethlehem, Jericho, Qalqilya, Jenin, Nablus and Askar refugee camp. 

Hamas has condemned US claims that its members looted an aid truck in Gaza, describing the incident as "staged" to justify Israeli restrictions on humanitarian aid entering the enclave.

In a statement on Sunday, the Palestinian movement said that the "false US allegations" were "baseless and unfounded", asserting that no such looting had taken place.

"Washington's continued adoption of the [Israeli] occupation's narrative deepens its unethical bias and makes it a partner in the siege and the suffering of Gaza's civilians," Hamas said.

The United States Central Command (Centcom) released edited drone footage on Friday purportedly showing people looting an aid truck in northern Khan Younis. 

Centcom claimed that "suspected Hamas operatives" attacked the driver and stole the truck, but provided no further evidence verifying that the individuals involved were Hamas members.

Middle East Eye could not independently verify the time or location of the video.

Aid looting by Israeli-backed gangs has been reported widely since the start of the genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023.

Israel has warned that its military will step up attacks in southern Lebanon, a day after four people were killed in an Israeli air strike.

Despite a November 2024 ceasefire with Hezbollah, Israel maintains troops in five areas in southern Lebanon and has carried out near-daily attacks.

"Hezbollah is playing with fire, and the president of Lebanon is dragging his feet," Defence Minister Israel Katz said in a statement.

"The Lebanese government's commitment to disarm Hezbollah and remove it from southern Lebanon must be implemented. Maximum enforcement will continue and even intensify - we will not allow any threat to the residents of the north."

On Thursday, Israeli ground troops carried out a deadly raid into southern Lebanon, prompting Lebanese President Joseph Aoun to order the army to confront such incursions.

Aoun had called for talks with Israel in mid-October, after US President Donald Trump helped broker a ceasefire in Gaza.

But Aoun later accused Israel of responding to his offer by intensifying its air strikes, the latest of which killed four people in Nabatiyeh district on Saturday, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

The official Lebanese National News Agency reported that the Israeli army hit a car "with a guided missile".

Israeli forces launched attacks on Gaza and carried out home demolitions on Sunday despite the ongoing ceasefire agreement. 

Wafa news agency reported heavy gunfire east of Gaza City from Israeli forces, while troops simultaneously demolished residential buildings in the neighbourhoods of al-Zaytoun and al-Shujaiya. Thick plumes of smoke were seen rising from targeted areas.

In Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli artillery shelling and gunfire was reported, accompanied by demolitions of several residential structures. Israeli forces also reportedly carried out three air strikes on Rafah, in southern Gaza.

The death toll in the Gaza Strip since Israel's genocide began in October 2023 has risen to 68,858, the majority of whom are women and children. At least 170,664 others have been injured.

Our live blog will shortly be closing until tomorrow morning.

Here are the day's key developments:

• The death toll from Israel's genocide on Gaza since October 2023 has risen to 68,858 Palestinians, with a further 170,664 wounded, the Palestinian health ministry said.

• Gaza’s Government Media Office (GMO) says Israel continues to choke the flow of aid into the besieged enclave, accusing it of breaching the ceasefire agreement.

• Since the truce took effect on 10 October, an average of just 145 commercial and aid trucks have entered Gaza daily, only 24 percent of the 600 trucks agreed upon in the deal.

• Sani Ibrahim Azar, head of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land, has condemned Israel for committing genocide in Gaza during a Reformation Day service at Jerusalem’s Church of the Redeemer.

• The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) has condemned an alarming surge in Israeli settler attacks targeting Palestinian olive farmers across the occupied West Bank.

• Hamas has reaffirmed its commitment to completing all remaining terms of the ceasefire agreement, the group said in a statement following a meeting between its Gaza leader Khalil al-Hayya and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in Istanbul.

• Israeli occupation soldiers in the West Bank prevented Palestinian farmers from harvesting their olive trees, before being filmed stealing olives from the same groves.

• Jordan and Germany said on Saturday that an international force touted to support a future Palestinian police in Gaza under US President Donald Trump's post-war governance plan should have a United Nations mandate.

• The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said it was ready to recover the bodies of captives within the Israeli-controlled "Yellow Line" zone in the Gaza Strip "simultaneously". 

• Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has warned that Tehran “is ready for any scenario against Israel and prepared for any aggression on its part,” in comments to Al Jazeera.

Washington’s special envoy for Syria has branded Lebanon “a failed state”, exposing the United States’ growing frustration with Beirut’s paralysed political system while signalling unflinching support for Israel’s regional aggression.

Barrack accused the country of being the only state in the region “not jumping in line” with what he described as a new Middle East order. “The state is Hezbollah,” he said, arguing that the group fills the void left by a government unable to provide electricity, water, or basic services.

“It is really up to the Lebanese. America is not going to get deeper involved in the situation with a foreign terrorist organisation and a failed state dictating the pace and asking for more resources and more money and more help,” he said.

Barrack claimed that the US would not intervene in regional disputes, but would support if "Israel becomes more aggressive toward Lebanon”.

Israeli occupation soldiers have stormed several Palestinian towns in the occupied West Bank.

According to Palestinian sources speaking to Al Jazeera Arabic, troops raided a number of homes in the village of Marah Rabah, south of Bethlehem, ransacking properties and detaining residents for questioning.

In a separate operation, Al Jazeera’s correspondent said Israeli forces also stormed the town of Idhna, west of Hebron, carrying out widespread searches and spreading fear among civilians.

After two years of Israeli bombardment, famine and a genocide Palestinian children are slowly returning to class in Gaza as Unrwa begins reopening schools under the ceasefire.

Unrwa Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said more than 25,000 pupils have joined the agency’s “temporary learning spaces,” while 300,000 more are expected to resume online lessons. But in places like Al Hassaina school in Nuseirat, the reality remains bleak the AFP reported with classrooms destroyed, no desks or chairs, and traces of families who once sought shelter in the building still visible.

“I’m in sixth grade now, but I lost two years of schooling because of displacement and the war,” said 11-year-old Warda Radwan, speaking to AFP.

On Saturday, young girls stood in the courtyard shouting “Long live Palestine!” before cramming into overcrowded classrooms, sitting on the floor with notebooks on their laps.

Jenin Abu Jarad, a relative of one student, said she was grateful schools had reopened. “Since October 7 [2023], there hasn’t been any school for our children,” she said. “All they could do was fetch water or play in the streets. Thankfully, classes are finally resuming.”

Israeli occupation soldiers in the West Bank prevented Palestinian farmers from harvesting their olive trees, before being filmed stealing olives from the same groves.

In the town of Sinjil, near Ramallah, troops handed farmers a “closed military zone” order, claiming olive picking there required prior army coordination. Yet Civil Administration maps show the area was not subject to those restrictions.

Witnesses said the soldiers arrived after an Israeli settler, who had spent the past week patrolling Palestinian land to obstruct harvesting, appeared on site the Israeli daily Haaretz reported. His presence reportedly prompted the army to impose the closure.

Locals told Haaretz that the settler had repeatedly threatened farmers, at one point saying he would use his weapon if they did not leave.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) has condemned an alarming surge in Israeli settler attacks targeting Palestinian olive farmers across the occupied West Bank.

“October 2025 is on track to be the most violent month since Unrwa began tracking settler violence in 2013,” the agency said in a statement.

Unrwa’s West Bank director, Roland Friedrich, warned that the attacks “threaten the very way of life for many Palestinians”, as olive farming remains their main source of income.
