Evening recap

Our live blog will shortly be closing until tomorrow morning.

Here are the day's key developments:

• Gaza's health ministry has reported that three bodies were transferred to hospital in the last 24 hours, boosting the death toll of Palestinians killed by Israel since October 2023 to 70,654 people.

• The bodies belonged to two people killed by Israeli fire, while another was recovered by emergency teams from a previous attack.

• A Palestinian man has died from wounds sustained in an Israeli attack on a tent weeks ago in al-Mawasi, near Khan Younis in southern Gaza, Wafa news agency is reporting, citing medical sources.

• Israeli media is reporting that Israeli forces killed senior Hamas commander Raad Saad, along with at least four other people, in a strike on Gaza on Saturday.

• The Israeli army says it killed a Palestinian near the so-called yellow line in northern Gaza, an area where Israeli forces have redeployed under the ceasefire agreement.

• A senior Palestinian official has condemned comments by the US ambassador to Israel that appeared to justify Israeli approval for 19 new settlements, calling the stance a clear breach of international law and a dangerous attempt to legitimise illegal land grabs.

• Jordan's foreign ministry says it “strongly condemns the Israeli government’s ratification of the establishment and legalisation of 19 illegal colonial settlements in the occupied West Bank”.

• Israeli forces arrested four Palestinians in a fresh wave of raids across the occupied West Bank this morning, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office (ASRA) is reporting.

• Six Palestinian families have left their homes in the at-Taawon neighbourhood of Nablus after Israel’s High Court ordered the buildings to be demolished by the end of the year, according to the Wafa news agency.

• The head of the World Health Organization says Israeli restrictions continue to obstruct the entry of laboratory and diagnostic equipment into Gaza, hampering urgent medical response efforts.
