Morning update

Good morning Middle East Eye readers.

Here are the latest updates from Israel's war on Gaza:

• Israeli forces raided towns in Qalqilya and Hebron, carrying out raids and home searches as part of ongoing operations in the occupied West Bank.

• The Palestinian Centre for Prisoners’ Defence reported that the conditions of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons are extremely critical, stating that around 1,300 detainees from the Gaza Strip have been enduring severe living and health conditions for two years due to ongoing violations, abuse, and the denial of basic human rights.

• The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor stated that its investigations revealed the bodies handed over by the Israeli army to Gaza came from the Sde Teiman detention centre, suggesting the individuals were likely alive before being killed.

• The Israeli army has notified the families of two captives that they may proceed with their burial, following the confirmation of their identities.

• Palestinian media outlets quoted Dr Ahmad Al-Farra, head of the Paediatrics and Maternity Department at Nasser Medical Hospital, as saying that 80 percent of medical tests at the hospital are currently unavailable.
