But before that, here is a recap of today’s main events:

• The head of Gaza’s media office has told Anadolu that of the 600 trucks meant to enter the territory under the October ceasefire agreement, “less than one-third” are actually getting through.
• Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reports that Israeli artillery shelling has hit the area around Kilometer Nine, which is located between the villages of Airatoun and Blida, very close to Lebanon’s border with Israel.
• The Israeli army launched an incursion into the countryside of Quneitra in southern Syria, with five vehicles entering Syrian territory.
• The Israeli army said in a statement that its troops exchanged fire with armed men in Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.
• About 300 Palestinians have been allowed to leave Gaza for medical treatment, according to Israel’s Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories agency.
• Israeli army chief Eyal Zamir has challenged Defence Minister Israel Katz’s decision to freeze senior military appointments and order a new review of an investigation into the army’s October 7 failures.
• The armed wing of the Palestinian group, the al-Quds Brigades, has said it has located the body of a deceased captive in an area controlled by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.

UN human rights experts have called on countries to act immediately as Israeli violations threaten the fragile Gaza truce.

Since the ceasefire was announced on October 10, Israel has committed at least 393 violations, killing 339 Palestinians – including more than 70 children – and injuring more than 871 others, the experts said on Sunday.

The October 28 air strikes marked the deadliest night, with 104 Palestinians killed.

“The ongoing Israeli attacks against the Palestinian population in Gaza constitute a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement,” the experts warned, urging the international community to pressure Israel to make the truce effective and calling for an arms embargo.

One child has died and several others were wounded in Gaza due to the explosions of remnants of war, the enclave’s civil defence team has said.

“Civil defence teams responded to an explosion at a house belonging to the al-Firi family on al-Nasr Street [in the] west of Gaza City,” the statement reads. “The multistorey house had been previously targeted and contained remnants of Israeli occupation. The explosion occurred while some children were playing with these remnants.” Among those injured, some children were in critical condition, it added.

Videos verified by Al Jazeera show children brought to al-Shifa Hospital for treatment.

Palestinians in Gaza face a daily battle for survival.

Most buildings now lie in ruins, and Israel continues to limit the supply of basic necessities, but they’re not only fighting to care for themselves.

Many are struggling to care for their pets, and the countless stray animals left helpless after their owners were killed during more than two years of Israeli attacks.

Al Jazeera’s Ibrahim al-Khalili has this report from Gaza City:

Earlier today, we reported on the closure of the Gaza Humanitarian Fund, a controversial organisation that had been distributing food in Gaza since May, but where hundreds of Palestinians seeking aid were killed.

Read our full report here. 

The head of Gaza’s media office told the Turkish Anadolu Agency that of the 600 trucks meant to enter the territory under the October ceasefire agreement, “less than one-third” are actually getting through.

Ismail al-Thawabta said, “Israel is managing hunger in Gaza deliberately, slowly, and cumulatively”, adding that it is also blocking the entry of heavy machinery needed to recover the bodies of Palestinians trapped under rubble.

 Al-Thawabta described Israel’s actions as “a compound crime consisting of deliberate starvation of civilians and obstruction of relief.”

Despite the US-backed ceasefire, Palestinians are burying their loved ones who were killed as Israel continues to violate the fragile truce.

Officials in Gaza say at least 342 people have been killed, many of them children, since the agreement went into effect on October 10.

Watch our report below:

More than 214,000 displaced Palestinians face extreme winter vulnerability as humanitarian access to Gaza remains critically constrained, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has warned.

Living conditions across displacement sites have deteriorated to “extremely dire” levels, according to OCHA.

Between Sunday and Wednesday last week, only 32 trucks carrying essential shelter supplies managed to enter Gaza.

The severe bottleneck stems from newly imposed NGO registration requirements by Israeli authorities, which humanitarian agencies say are impacting their ability to deliver aid.

Nearly every day, there are episodes of violence, arrests and killings across the occupied West Bank perpetrated by Israeli soldiers or settlers. Wafa news agency has documented a number of incidents that took place today:

• The Israeli army issued a military order to seize more than 77 dunams (about 19 acres) of Palestinian-owned land in the towns of al-Za’im and Isawiya, east of occupied Jerusalem.
• Local sources told the Palestinian news agency that bulldozers and military vehicles have been leveling dozens of dunams of Palestinian-owned land in the town of Hizma to pave a new road to expand Adam, an illegal settlement northeast of Jerusalem.
• Israeli settlers have torched Palestinian-owned farmlands between the towns of Birzeit and Atara, north of Ramallah.
• Israeli forces have raided the towns of Anin and Meithalun, west and south of Jenin, respectively, storming residents’ homes and commercial shops.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has released its weekly update on the humanitarian situation in the occupied West Bank. Here are key highlights:

• Three Palestinian children and one man were killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank between November 11 and 17, raising the 2025 child fatality toll to 49.
• Israeli forces continued large-scale operations across the northern occupied West Bank, resulting in casualties, displacement, school closures, and movement restrictions.
• Thirty Palestinians are at risk of displacement in Qalandiya village in an area where the Israeli authorities have reactivated decades-old expropriation orders and approved the construction of a waste treatment facility.
• Within a week, 29 documented settler attacks across the West Bank caused injuries and damage to Palestinian homes, mosques, vehicles, and agricultural assets.

Israel’s public broadcaster is reporting that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has summoned his feuding defence minister, Israel Katz, and the military’s chief of staff, Eyal Zamir.

The two have been engaged in a very public war of words after Katz cast doubt on a military report investigating October 7, ordered a review of that report, and is now seeking an additional review, moves that have reportedly infuriated Zamir.

Katz has also frozen army promotions, a responsibility that would normally fall under the chief of staff, in what is widely seen as a punitive measure.

Around 300 Palestinians have been allowed to leave Gaza for medical treatment, according to the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the Israeli Defense Ministry unit responsible for civilian coordination in the Palestinian territories.

In a post on X, COGAT said those permitted to leave included dual nationals and people with visas, at the request of foreign governments and the UN.

The group left through the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing en route to Jordan.

The Gaza Strip has been largely destroyed by more than two years of continuous Israeli bombardment.

These pictures capture small glimpses of life amid the remains of shattered or flattened buildings and piles of rubble.

Israeli army chief Eyal Zamir has challenged Defence Minister Israel Katz’s decision to freeze senior military appointments and order a new review of an investigation into the army’s October 7 failures.

Zamir issued a statement today questioning Katz’s move to query a report compiled over seven months by senior figures in the army that evaluated the army’s own investigations into October 7.

The external panel found the military’s self-investigations inadequate.

Katz has now ordered the defence comptroller to begin reviewing whether that external panel was right, and has frozen all senior military promotions until the review is complete.

Zamir said the report was “for professional use, not political use” and said he would continue preparing appointments despite the freeze.

The clash escalates a months-long power struggle between the two men over military appointments, with critics warning Katz is politicising the army.
