Morning update

Good morning Middle East Eye readers.

A fragile ceasefire meant to halt Israel’s two-year genocidal war on Gaza remains under strain. Palestinians say they are being further squeezed as Israeli forces push past the ceasefire line in Gaza, with troops and tanks advancing roughly 300 metres beyond the “yellow line”. 

The truce has been repeatedly violated, with Israel launching new operations and continuing strikes in Gaza, while settlers intensify efforts to displace Palestinians across the occupied West Bank.

Here are the latest updates:

• Israeli forces killed a displaced Palestinian man outside the yellow line south of Khan Younis city, Nasser Medical Complex reported.

• At least five Palestinians were injured in a settler attack in the Masafer Yatta area, south of Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank.

• Israeli forces shelled the northeast of Al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip with artillery at dawn on Friday, according to Palestinian local media.

• Settlers stormed the Tarouja area south of Nablus, setting fire to several homes and assaulting residents, Palestinian media reported.

• Israeli army blew up residential buildings inside the yellow line east of Khan Younis.
