According to the sources, 10 bodies and nine injured individuals were brought to hospitals across the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours. A number of victims remain trapped under the rubble and in the streets, as ambulance and civil defense crews are still unable to reach them.

The same sources indicated that since the ceasefire agreement came into effect on October 11 last year, the death toll has risen to 601, with 1,607 injuries reported. A total of 726 bodies have also been recovered during this period.

For the first time since 1967: Israeli government approves law okaying land registration in West Bank

Israel approves registration of West Bank land as ‚state property‘

The measure is expected to formalise Israeli control over extensive areas of Palestinian land, much of which has remained unregistered since Israel occupied the West Bank in 1967.

It would allow authorities to legalise the confiscation of unregistered, or so-called abandoned, land by reclassifying it as “state land”.

In 1968, Israeli authorities suspended a Jordanian-led land registration process, effectively preventing Palestinians from formally recording ownership of their property.

Israel‘s plan to install West Bank regulations denounced as illegal ‚mega land grab‘

Israel will begin a contentious land regulation process in a large part of the occupied West Bank, which could result in Israel gaining control over wide swaths of the area for future development, according to a government decision on Sunday.

It paves the way for the resumption of „settlement of land title“ processes, which had been frozen in the West Bank since the Mideast War in 1967.
