Here’s what happened today
We will soon be closing this live page. Here’s a recap of Saturday’s key events:
The Israeli army says 13 Israelis and four Thai nationals have arrived in Israel – the second group of captives released by Hamas in Gaza as part of a four-day truce agreement.
The transfer was delayed for hours over Hamas claims that Israel was violating the truce deal, including not allowing the flow of aid into northern Gaza.
Hamas released a list of names of the second round of Palestinian prisoners expected to be released on Saturday night, which includes the names of six women and 33 male children.
Displaced Palestinians used the short pause in fighting to return to their homes, only to find utter destruction.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) says the number of journalists and media workers killed between October 7 and November 25 stood at 57.
Iran said it helped broker release of Thai nationals held in Gaza.
Israeli forces have killed Ammar Abu al-Wafa, 21, and 17-year-old Ahmad Abu al-Heija in Jenin in the occupied West Bank.
The UN said 221 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and illegal settlers in the West Bank since October 7, including 56 children.
Thousands protested in Israel to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and release of all captives held by Hamas in Gaza.
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said one of its patrols was hit by Israeli gunfire in the vicinity of Aytaroun in southern Lebanon.
