The Israel's military says its troops are searching for the remains of Ran Gvili, reportedly at a cemetery in northern Gaza.

Israel has said that it will reopen the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt within days for travelers on foot, a move that would allow Palestinians who fled the enclave during the two-year war to return home for the first time.

The Israeli military said one strike came after it spotted and struck several people who were operating a drone in central Gaza that posed a threat to its troops.

The Israeli government has stopped foreign journalists from entering the strip since the start of the war, citing security concerns.

Two Palestinian boys have been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza while collecting firewood, according to their families.

Medical officials in Gaza say Israel has destroyed nine out of 10 fertility clinics in the territory. In addition, embryos that remain are still in danger, despite the ceasefire, due to fuel shortages and a lack of liquid nitrogen to keep them at the required temperature.

In 2022, the United Nations recorded more than 133,000 entries and 144,000 exits through Rafah, though many involved the same people crossing multiple times. Egyptian authorities allowed imports on 150 days of the year, and more than 32,000 trucks of goods entered.

Hamas remains heavily armed and still holds thousands of rockets, anti-tank missiles, and tens of thousands of Kalashnikov rifles, Israeli officials say.
