Four UN observers from the UNTSO truce supervision mission were injured in a raid near Rmeish, in southern Lebanon close to the blue demarcation line with Israel. Lebanese sources accuse Israel, which denies responsibility, while continuing operations at the Shifa hospital in Gaza City and in the al-Qarara and al-Amal neighborhoods of Khan Yunis. An Israeli delegation will be in the US on Monday for Rafah, while indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel for a truce in Gaza and the release of the hostages will resume tomorrow in Cairo

Tension in Tel Aviv, family members of the hostages in the square
Thousands of Israelis are marching in Tel Aviv demanding the release of the hostages following the Forum on Hostages and Missing Families appealed to the population to take to the streets. The Ynet news site reports that protesters blocked traffic on the street and called on people sitting in bars to join them. According to The Times of Israel, police fired water cannons onto the highway and used horses to disperse the demonstrators. Haaretz reports that Aviva Siegal, an Israeli freed from Hamas captivity whose husband, Keith, remains captive, called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “do everything” possible “to bring home” the hostages. “Don’t talk regarding victory – said Siegal, addressing the prime minister -, it is not possible to bring the Qatari delegation back without having an agreement. Don’t you dare go to sleep without thinking regarding the hostages.”

CNN, “two Palestinians killed and buried with bulldozers by Israel”
“The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) admitted to killing two Palestinian men and burying their bodies with a bulldozer following Al Jazeera published a video showing the incident in question in recent days.” CNN reports this, citing an IDF statement according to which the two Palestinians approached “the operational area” in central Gaza “in a suspicious manner” and did not respond to a warning shot. The same army statement also says that the Israelis killed them and then buried their bodies fearing that they were carrying explosives. In the al Jazeera video, shot from a distance, two men are seen walking along a Gaza beach, separated from each other; both seem to be waving white flags, as if to symbolize surrender, as they cautiously approach a group of Israeli soldiers: then one of the two disappears from the images while the second falls on the sand, apparently hit. The video then switches to another angle where an Israeli military bulldozer is seen burying two bodies in sand and debris. It is unclear whether the bodies shown in the second half of the video are those of the two men filmed at the beginning of the sequence. Al Jazeera claims they are the same men.
