Morning update

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.
