Over 18,500 Palestinians detained by Israel in West Bank since October 2023
Palestinian prisoners' rights groups are reporting that over 18,500 Palestinians have been detained by Israeli forces across the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, since October 2023. The figure includes 570 Palestinian women and at least 1,500 children, according to a report by the Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, the Palestinian Prisoners' Society, and Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association. Over 194 journalists have also been detained, 49 of them still held in custody. The detainee numbers mark the highest since the second Intifada in 2000. The report also details rights violations that accompanied detentions, including beatings, threats to detainees and their families, destruction of property and the looting of homes. It also noted the "systematic destruction" of infrastructure in refugee camps in Tulkarm and Jenin, and the demolition of detainees' family homes. The report also found that detainees were taken from their homes and at military checkpoints, and that some of the detentions were accompanied by extrajudicial killings targeting relatives of detainees.

Belgium air force drops first in its series of aid packages over Gaza
Belgium's air force dropped the first in a series of its aid packages in Gaza on Sunday in cooperation with Jordan, Belgium's defence ministry said in a statement. While still heavily restricting the entry of aid trucks into Gaza, Israel has permitted states to conduct limited air drops of aid. The operation has drawn heavy criticism from aid groups, with Unrwa warning that the move is "inefficient" and even "dangerous" as it risks triggering refeeding syndrome in starving Palestinians.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has said it is "heartbroken" following an Israeli attack on its headquarters in Khan Younis, which killed one staff member and injured three others. In a statement, the organisation said that the headquarters' location would have been known to Israeli forces and was 'clearly marked with the protective red emblem'. 'This was not a mistake," the statement added. 'This deliberate attack on a protected Red Crescent facility is a grave violation of international humanitarian law – it is a war crime,' the organisation said.
