Israeli aggression against Palestinians

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that he ordered negotiators to "advance" talks on releasing hostages held in Gaza, after sensing an opportunity amid Israel’s unprecedented attack on arch-foe Iran.

"I gave instructions the day before yesterday to advance negotiations, because I sense an opening... We will complete... both missions: the destruction of Hamas and the release of the hostages," he said of talks with Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas for the release of hostages held in Gaza.

Israeli fire and airstrikes killed at least 41 Palestinians across Gaza on Sunday, local health authorities said, at least five of them near two aid sites operated by the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

Medics at Al-Awda Hospital in the central Gaza Strip said at least three people were killed and dozens wounded by Israeli fire as they tried to approach a GHF site near the Netzarim corridor. Two others were killed en route to another aid site in Rafah in the south.

Tens of thousands of protesters, including families with children, gathered in the Netherlands on Sunday to oppose Israel’s siege of Gaza and the Dutch government’s policy on the war.

The second major rally in a month drew an estimated 150,000 people to The Hague, according to organisers. Participants dressed in red to create a "red line" against ongoing Israel attacks and alleged war crimes against Palestinians.

Demonstrators sang, held speeches and marched past the International Court of Justice, which is hearing a case brought by South Africa accusing Israel of genocide.

Local Health Ministry reported at least 65 Palestinians died while 315 were wounded in the past 24 hours, according to Al Jazeera.

The figure included eight bodies of people killed in previous Israeli attacks and recovered from the rubble in the war-torn territory, the ministry said.

As per the figures, the Israeli attacks killed at least 55,362 Palestinians while wounding 128,741 since the beginning of the war.

Israeli fire and airstrikes killed at least 12 Palestinians on Sunday across the enclave, local health authorities said, at least five of them near two aid sites operated by the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

Medics at Al-Awda Hospital in the central Gaza Strip said at least three people were killed and dozens wounded by Israeli fire as they tried to approach a GHF site near the Netzarim corridor. Two others were killed en route to another aid site in Rafah in the south.

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels said Sunday they had launched several missiles at Israel as it came under Iranian fire, following a massive Israeli bombardment campaign on the Islamic republic.

The Houthis said in a statement they had "carried out a military operation targeting sensitive targets of the Israeli enemy" in central Israel.

Internet is back up in the war-battered Gaza Strip, the head of the Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority told AFP on Saturday, after a three-day blackout blamed on Israel's military.

"The network is up now in all of the Gaza Strip," said the regulatory body's CEO Laith Daraghmeh.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in a phone call that Israel's attacks on Iran aim to divert global attention from the situation in Gaza.

A statement by his office said Erdogan had also told Pezeshkian that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was trying to set the region on fire and to sabotage nuclear talks with attacks on Iran.
