On Monday, Hebron governor Khaled Dudin said Israeli forces had pulled out of the West Bank city after a ten-day siege and that displaced families can return.

In Gaza, Israeli drone attacks killed at least eight Palestinians on Sunday, according to the report.

  • At least eight Palestinians, including a four-year-old child, were killed in Israeli drone attacks across Gaza on Sunday.
  • The UN human rights office said on Friday that Israeli forces are treating the encroaching 'Yellow Line' in Gaza as 'a kill zone'.
