Key Developments

Representatives are urging the Israeli government to open more entry points and ensure safe movement for humanitarian staff and the population who are returning to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
  • The president of Lebanon he condemned Israel on last Saturday for executing overnight strikes on public installations that the health authority said caused one fatality. "Once again, southern Lebanon has been the target of a heinous attack by Israel against non-military facilities—unjustifiably or excuse," Aoun said.

From the 250 detainees, fifteen will be freed in eastern Jerusalem, 100 to the Palestinian territory, and the remainder will be deported.
