More than half a million people have returned to an “unrecognizable” northern Gaza in the past 72 hours, according to Palestinian authorities. People hoping to return home described the utter decimation of north Gaza after 15 months of relentless Israeli bombings and attacks.
In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces killed at least two Palestinians in fresh raids that began overnight. One of the victims was identified as 25-year-old Osama Omar Abu al-Haija from Jenin. This comes as Israeli lawmakers have advanced a bill that would further facilitate the theft and purchase of land for illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
Israel has also continued its attacks on southern Lebanon, where at least five people were injured earlier today and another 24 were wounded on Tuesday in Israeli airstrikes.
