Evening recap

Our live blog will shortly be closing until tomorrow morning.

Here are the day's key developments:

- Israeli forces have unleashed intense artillery and air strikes on eastern Khan Younis, further undermining the ceasefire deal that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists he's still a part of.

- This comes as Israeli soldiers carried out raids across the occupied West Bank, from Tubas to Nablus to Jenin and Qalqilya, arresting dozens of Palestinian men and boys.

- Hamas will be handing over the bodies of three Israeli captives on Saturday.

- Reporting from Yedioth Ahronoth shows the Israeli government has built or approved around 48,000 settlement housing units since taking office, a figure expected to rise to 50,000.

- Israel’s assaults on Palestinians have set a dangerous global precedent, a UN expert warned “What happens in Palestine does not stay in Palestine,” Reem Alsalem, UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women, said during a briefing on Palestinian rights.

- Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has accused Israel of responding to Lebanon's offer to negotiate by intensifying air strikes, the latest of which killed a man riding a motorbike in southern Lebanon.
