Morning update

Good morning Middle East Eye readers.

A fragile ceasefire meant to halt Israel’s two-year genocidal war on Gaza remains under strain. Palestinians say they are being further squeezed as Israeli forces push past the ceasefire line in Gaza, with troops and tanks advancing roughly 300 metres beyond the “yellow line”. 

The truce has been repeatedly violated, with Israel launching new operations and continuing strikes in Gaza, while settlers intensify efforts to displace Palestinians across the occupied West Bank.

Here are the latest updates:

• Two young Palestinian men were shot dead by Israeli forces at dawn on Friday during a raid on the town of Kafr Aqab, north of occupied Jerusalem.

• Israeli forces killed a displaced Palestinian man outside the yellow line south of Khan Younis city, where the military also blew up residential buildings. 

• At least five Palestinians were injured in a settler attack in the Masafer Yatta area, south of Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank.

• Israeli forces shelled the northeast of Al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip with artillery at dawn on Friday, according to Palestinian media.

• Settlers stormed the Tarouja area south of Nablus, setting fire to several homes and assaulting residents, local media reported.

• Israeli forces raided several homes during a large-scale incursion into the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, in the southern West Bank.
