As the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas continues, Hamas will return the bodies of four Israeli captives, including members of the Bibas family, in Gaza’s Khan Younis. Meanwhile, Gaza authorities claim Israel is blocking essential humanitarian aid, including mobile homes and bulldozers. The Gaza Health Ministry reports nearly 50,000 Palestinian deaths from the ongoing conflict, with many more presumed dead. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has called for the end of Israel's occupation in southern Lebanon. The death toll in Israel stands at over 1,100 due to the October 7 Hamas-led attacks.
