Evening recap

Our live blog will shortly be closing until tomorrow morning.

Here are the day's key developments:

• Gaza's health ministry confirmed in a statement on Telegram that Israel returned the bodies of 15 Palestinians on Friday via the International Committee of the Red Cross.

• The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) has urged the entry of sheltering materials into Gaza as heavy rains engulfed tents of displaced people across the enclave.

• Saudi Arabia's foreign ministry has issued a statement expressing "strong condemnation and denunciation" of attacks by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinians across the occupied West Bank.

• A chartered flight carrying over 150 Palestinians from Gaza to South Africa was facilitated by a controversial agency in close collaboration with the Israeli military, Al Jazeera is reporting. The evacuees arrived in Johannesburg on Thursday without proper documentation or coordination.

• Israeli forces have continued to detonate buildings in Rafah, even as the truce with Hamas remains in place, with fresh blasts reported across the southern edge of the Gaza Strip.

• Lebanon says it will take Israel’s new border wall to the UN Security Council, after Beirut accused Israeli forces of pushing a concrete barrier into Lebanese land and slicing across the UN-mandated “Blue Line”.

• The UN Security Council is expected to vote on Monday on a US-backed plan to authorise an international military force in Gaza, even as Russia, China and several Arab states push back against the proposal.

• EU foreign ministers are set to meet next week to examine a proposal for the bloc to take charge of training 3,000 Palestinian police officers, a plan that would eventually place the force inside Gaza, according to a new report.
