Israel kills 3 in Gaza, amid strikes on Khan Younis, Jabalia in latest ceasefire violation

TNA’s live coverage of the latest from the war on Gaza concludes for today. Join us again at 0800 GMT for updates from the besieged Palestinian enclave.
 

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has condemned the latest wave of settler violence in the occupied West Bank, calling the attacks “shocking and serious.”

Herzog said, “Such violence toward civilians and toward [Israeli army] soldiers crosses a red line, and I condemn it severely.”

Settlers are rarely prosecuted for assaults on Palestinians or their property and are sometimes accompanied by Israeli forces during such incidents.

Israel’s State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman has released a report highlighting how the absence of a formal national security doctrine contributed to Israel’s failures during the 7 October Hamas attacks.

The watchdog said that an officially approved strategic framework could have resulted in different border defence strategies and troop deployment decisions.

According to the report, Israel’s reliance on deterrence, early warning systems, and technological defences- all collapsed simultaneously during the assault.

Alongside the controversial death penalty bill, the Israeli Knesset has also passed two additional measures in their first reading late on Sunday.

The first, known as the Al Jazeera law, named after news publication Al Jazeera that was banned in Israel, would grant the government authority to shut down foreign media outlets deemed hostile, even when no state of emergency is in effect.

The second, an incitement law championed by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, would allow police to investigate alleged incitement without the state attorney’s approval.

During Ben-Gvir’s tenure, 710 incitement cases have been opened under the Anti-Terrorism Law — 96% targeting Arabs and 4% Jewish Israelis, according to Haaretz.

A court in Amsterdam has approved the extradition of Palestinian journalist Mustafa Ayyash to Austria. Ayyash, the founder of the Gaza Now news agency, was arrested at a Dutch airport on 19 September.

Austrian authorities accuse him of helping to finance Hamas, claims his lawyers have strongly denied.

Ayyash had fled to Austria after several of his family members were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza.

The Israeli army has launched artillery strikes on the town of Bani Suheila and nearby areas, east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, according to Palestinian media reports.

Before the war, Gaza mainly depended on imported electricity from Israel though supplies were shaky. It received 120 megawatts from Israel while the enclave's lone power plant supplied another 60 MW, according to Gaza officials.

Shortly after October 7, 2023, when Hamas fighters triggered the war by attacking south Israel, killing 1,200 people according to Israeli tallies, Israel put Gaza under "total siege".

Electricity went out in Gaza after its power station ran out of fuel within days.

Now in a displacement camp in central Gaza's Nuseirat neighbourhood, most family activities end when the sun goes down. 

Some residents run charging points, supplied by solar power or private generators given how the war has destroyed Gaza's electrical grid and cables.

T In March of this year, Israeli minister Eli Cohen said he instructed the Electric Corporation to not sell electricity to Gaza as a punitive measure against Hamas.

But even after the ceasefire, restoring power to Gaza — which has been reduced to ruins by Israeli bombardment — would require a massive infrastructure rebuild.

The war has already destroyed more than 80% of the enclave's electricity distribution networks, with initial estimated losses to infrastructure and machinery amounting to $728 million, the media director of Gaza's electricity company told Reuters news agency.

"For the past two years, no electricity has reached the Gaza Strip. The amount of electricity reaching Gaza is zero," Mohammed Thabet told Reuters, saying pre-war needs were 600 megawatts.

Israel’s Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, who played a leading role in negotiations during the Gaza war and was a close confidant of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, resigned on Tuesday.

His departure follows weeks of speculation in Israeli media and marks the end of a tenure that began in late 2022, when he was tapped for the post after years as Israel's ambassador to Washington.

"I am writing to inform you of my decision to end my position as minister for strategic affairs," Dermer wrote in a two-page letter to Netanyahu released to the media.

There was no immediate response to a request for comment from the prime minister's office.

The U.S.-born Dermer wrote that when he became minister of strategic affairs in December 2022, he promised his family he would serve for no more than two years and twice he extended it with their blessing.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US envoy Jared Kushner have reportedly reached a compromise over the fate of around 200 Hamas fighters trapped in tunnels in Rafah, within Israeli-controlled territory inside the so-called Yellow Line.

An official from Israel’s Security Cabinet told Israeli outlet Ynet News on Tuesday that the agreement allows the fighters to be evacuated unharmed. However, no country has yet agreed to receive them.

French President Emmanuel Macron warned on Tuesday that any Israeli plans for annexation in the West Bank would be a "red line" and would provoke a European reaction.

"Plans for partial or total annexation, whether legal or de facto, constitute a red line to which we will respond strongly with our European partners," said Macron after meeting Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas in Paris.

"The violence of the settlers and the acceleration of settlement projects are reaching new heights, threatening the stability of the West Bank and constitute violations of international law," Macron added.

President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday said a joint French-Palestinian committee would be created to work towards drawing up a Palestinian constitution.

"We decided together to establish a joint committee for the consolidation of the state of Palestine," Macron said after a meeting with Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, adding that it would "contribute to drawing up a new constitution, a draft of which president Abbas presented to me".

Abbas said he agreed "to the swift establishment of the constitutional committee".

Israel's police and military said Tuesday that security forces arrested several Israeli settlers after violent attacks near the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarem, during which Palestinians were injured and property was destroyed.

The military said it dispatched troops after "masked Israeli civilians... attacked Palestinians and set fire to property in the area."

"Security forces operated to disperse the confrontation using riot dispersal means and apprehended several Israeli civilians", it said, adding that four injured Palestinians were evacuated for medical treatment.

In a separate statement, Israel's police said that four suspects were arrested "following the violent incident that occurred earlier today in the villages of Beit Lid and Deir Sharaf," in the north of the West Bank.

Hussein Hammadi, mayor of Beit Lid, told AFP news agency that around 200 Israeli settlers came down from the hills towards his village, before splitting into two groups.

"One attacked the Bedouin community located on a slope along the road, while the other climbed the nearby hill where the Juneidi Dairy factory is located," Hammadi said, referring to one of the main Palestinian dairy brands.

"The group that attacked the Bedouin community burned Bedouin vehicles, animal pens, and homes, and tried to steal sheep before moving to another Bedouin encampment," while those at the dairy factory burned five company trucks and ransacked the facility, Hammadi said.

Hammadi added that 10 Palestinians were injured during the attack.

In his meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, French President Emmanuel Macron said that any Israeli annexation of the occupied West Bank is a 'red line'.

Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem complained on Tuesday that Washington is trying to force the country to make concessions to Israel with no commitments offered in return.

Washington is pushing to cut off Hezbollah's funding sources while also pressing the Lebanese government to disarm the armed Islamist group.

Hezbollah was greatly weakened in its most recent war with Israel, which ended in a November 2024 ceasefire, but Israeli strikes have continued at a lower rate.

"America... is putting pressure on the government to make concessions without any reciprocal commitments or guarantees... and wants to give Israel free rein," Qassem said, on Hezbollah's al-Manar television.

"The government's role is not to listen to American diktats and begin implementing them."

Israeli settlers have carried out extensive attacks on Palestinians and their properties in Beit Lid town, east of Tulkarem, on Tuesday.

At least two Palestinians were injured in the ordeal.

Settlers set fire to several Palestinian vehicles in the industrial area known as Al-Lada’in near Beit Lid, including four trucks belonging to Al-Juneidi Dairy Factory, and caused damage to the factory.

Agricultural lands, metal sheds, and tents belonging to a Bedouin community of two to five families in the area, were also set ablaze.

Iran said Tuesday it had broken up a spy network linked to both Israeli and US spy agencies, months after the war between the Islamic republic and its arch-enemy Israel.

"An anti-security network led by the US and Israeli intelligence services was identified inside the country and dismantled after several stages of observation, surveillance, and other intelligence measures," the intelligence organisation of the Revolutionary Guards said.

"The operation was carried out in a coordinated manner in a number of provinces," the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the ideological arm of Iran's military, said in a statement carried by state television.

It did not provide any details on the time or the location of the crackdown nor the number of any arrests.

In June, Israel launched an unprecedented bombing campaign against Iran, killing more than a thousand people, according to Iranian official figures, including senior military commanders and nuclear scientists.

As the latest meeting of the Group of Seven’s foreign ministers begins in Canada on Tuesday, Canada's foreign minister Anita Anand said the agenda will focus on issues including Arctic security, the war in Ukraine and securing peace in the Middle East.

Amid the current era of "geopolitical volatility," Anand said her US counterpart Marco Rubio has been "a very constructive member" of the G7 and commended the US for its efforts to secure peace in the Middle East.

John Kirton, founder of the G7 Research Group at the University of Toronto, said it was likely foreign ministers would accomplish more at the Niagara-on-the-Lake meeting than the earlier meeting of G7 heads of state in June at Kananaskis.

"The fact that President Trump won’t be there will definitely help," he said. "They won’t have to watch every facial expression or be careful of any rants he might unleash."

Anand said she expected to have focused conversations with partners about the "long path forward" to peace in both Ukraine and the Middle East.

"We have to be ambitious for the objective of long-lasting peace," she said, noting that as winter arrives, Canada and the G7 will be looking at how best to support the people of Ukraine via the energy infrastructure, food supply and longer-term reconstruction.

The Israeli military accused Lebanese group Hezbollah on Tuesday of seeking to rebuild its combat abilities in south Lebanon to the point of threatening Israel's security and undoing last year's ceasefire deal.

Military spokesman Nadav Shoshani said the Iranian-backed Hezbollah was operating south of the Litani River in violation of the truce accord and that Israeli forces were conducting strikes on Hezbollah targets in that area.

Shoshani told a news briefing that Hezbollah was also trying to smuggle in weapons from Syria and via other routes to Lebanon. "We are working to prevent that from happening and to block the ground routes from Syria into Lebanon to a high level of success, but they still pose a threat to us," Shoshani said.

Hezbollah denies it is rebuilding its military capabilities in south Lebanon, saying it is committed to the 2024 ceasefire. It has not fired at Israel since the ceasefire came into force, and Lebanese security officials told Reuters that Hezbollah has not obstructed Lebanese army operations to find and confiscate the group's weapons in the country's south.

Medical sources in Gaza said at least 6,000 amputations have taken place in the Gaza Strip, which require urgent, long-term rehabilitation programme.

Children comprise 25 percent of the total number of amputations, while women account for 12.7 percent.

A lack of adequate medical exacerbates the amputees' suffering, reflecting the healthcare crisis in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli army said it killed a Palestinian describing him as a "terror operative", claiming he crossed the Yellow Line demarcating the area under the military’s control.

The Israeli forces said the man, who has not been identified, posed a "threat" to the troops.

UNICEF said on Tuesday essential items including syringes to vaccinate children and bottles for baby formula are being denied entry into Gaza by Israel, preventing aid agencies from reaching those in need in the war-devastated territory.

As UNICEF undertakes a mass children's vaccination campaign with a fragile ceasefire in place, it said it faces serious challenges getting 1.6 million syringes and solar-powered fridges to store vaccine vials into Gaza. The syringes have awaited customs clearance since August, UNICEF said.

"Both the syringes and the ... refrigerators are considered dual-use by Israel and these items we're finding very hard to get them through clearances and inspections, yet they are urgent," UNICEF spokesperson Ricardo Pires said.

"Dual-use" refers to items Israel deems to have possible military as well as civilian applications.

COGAT, the arm of the Israeli military that oversees aid flows into Gaza, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It has previously said it is not limiting the entry of food, water, medical supplies and shelter items. It has also accused Hamas of stealing humanitarian supplies, accusations the Palestinian militant group denies.

The Gaza Health Ministry said that three Palestinians were killed while one wounded person arrived at the sector's hospitals during the past 24 hours.

This brings the total number of those killed since the ceasefire to 245.

The Israeli military's Arabic-language spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, is reportedly resigning from his post, Israeli media said.

Adraee will step down after 20 years as the army's Arabic spokesperson.

During Israel's war in Gaza and wider tensions in the Middle East, the Israeli colonel often posted evacuation warnings in Arabic on social media for residents as Israel sought to bomb them.

Israeli settlers have set ablaze two vehicles in the town of Mikhmas, East of occupied Jerusalem, on Tuesday morning.

The Jerusalem Governorate said that the settlers set fire to two vehicles belonging to residents Talib Awad Abu Kanaan and Muhammad Hussein al-Dali.

This comes amid an increase in settler attacks on Palestinians and their properties in the occupied West Bank and the East Jerusalem.

he foreign ministers of Turkey and Egypt will discuss the Gaza ceasefire and international efforts to rebuild the enclave once the war is over during talks in Ankara on Wednesday, a Turkish foreign ministry source said on Tuesday.

NATO member Turkey has been one of the most vocal critics of Israel's two-year assault on Gaza, calling it a genocide, which Israel denies. Along with Egypt and Qatar, it has helped mediate the fragile ceasefire, emerging as a crucial player and vowing to monitor the strict implementation of the accord.

The source said Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan would host Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty for Wednesday's talks on the possible next phases of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement.

Fidan would "state that, despite Israel's violations, the Palestinian side is adhering to the conditions of the ceasefire and managing the process in a positive way", the source said, adding Fidan would also note the need for world powers to help rebuild the enclave and repeat Turkey's offer to play a role in such efforts.

With US urging, Turkey has repeatedly voiced its desire to join task forces to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire, including an international stabilisation force for which a UN Security Council resolution is being sought.

However, Israel has voiced its opposition to such Turkish involvement, saying there would be no forces from Turkey present in Gaza.

The ministers would also hold the inaugural meeting of the Turkey-Egypt Joint Planning Group, the source said. The meeting will convene officials to work on preparations for high-level talks to be held in Cairo next year, in line with an agreement signed last year.

French President Emmanuel Macron will meet Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas in Paris on Tuesday to discuss the "full implementation" of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, the Elysee said.

The meeting comes a month into a fragile truce between Hamas and Israel, following two years of war triggered by the Palestinian militant group's October 7, 2023 attack against Israel.

Abbas, 89, is the longtime head of the Palestinian Authority, which exercises limited control over parts of the West Bank and is being considered to assume governance in Gaza under the deal.

The two leaders "will discuss the next steps in the peace plan, particularly in the areas of security, governance and reconstruction", said the French presidency.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, said it is expanding its response to the education crisis in Gaza, as they aim to restore minimum learning conditions for school-aged children, whose education has been severely impacted by Israel's war.

The agency said it has established 231 Temporary Learning Spaces, reaching over 35,000 children with in-person lessons and activities, as of 3 November.

Through digital tools, UNRWA is reaching around 300,000 children, teaching them basic maths and Arabic. 

Yemen’s Houthi rebels are signaling they’ve stopped their attacks against Israel and shipping in the Red Sea as a shaky ceasefire holds in the Gaza Strip.

In an undated letter to Hamas’ Qassam Brigades published online by the group, the Houthis offered their clearest signal that their attacks have halted.

"We are closely monitoring developments and declare that if the enemy resumes its aggression against Gaza, we will return to our military operations deep inside the Zionist entity, and we will reinstate the ban on Israeli navigation in the Red and Arabian Seas," the letter from Maj. Gen. Yusuf Hassan al-Madani, the Houthi military's chief of staff, reads.

The Houthis have not offered any formal acknowledgment their campaign in the region has halted.

Israeli forces carried out a raid in the southern Lebanese town of Aitaroun, at dawn on Tuesday, booby-trapping the town's Al-Khanouq area and detonating at leats four residential buildings.

This comes amid Israel's escalated attacks on Lebanon, despite a ceasefire put in place in November last year.

Palestinians have recovered two bodies amid rubble, and identified them as Ibrahim Ali al-Najjar and Mazen Salman al-Najjar from Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis, days after they were killed in an Israeli attack.
