Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

We are on day 34 after a fragile ceasefire was agreed upon to end Israel's two-year genocidal war on Gaza. The truce has been violated by Israel many times as it launches new operations and continues to strike Gaza, while settlers displace Palestinians from the West Bank. 

Here are the major developments from the last few hours: 

  • Israeli forces continued their attacks on Palestinians in Gaza, targeting in the latest attack what they said were four armed men they spotted near the site of a tunnel explosion in Rafah. 

  • Israeli settlers used bulldozers to establish and expand outposts on Jabal al-Najma in Qaryut, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

  • Israeli warplanes raided the eastern part of Gaza City, while Israeli military vehicles opened fire east of Khan Younis, local sources reported. 

  • US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said he is optimistic that the UN Security Council will pass a resolution on Gaza supporting the deployment of an international stability force.

  • Human Rights Watch's director in Israel and Palestine has said that Israel is responsible as a state for the crimes of its soldiers and officers.
