Israel has released around 30 Palestinian prisoners after they completed their sentences, but many were in critical health conditions, with some requiring immediate hospitalisation.

The Palestinian Prisoner Society has said in a statement that many of the freed detainees, particularly those from Megiddo Prison in northern Israel, were suffering from scabies and other medical complications due to harsh prison conditions.

Photos shared by the organisation showed visible signs of severe mistreatment and neglect.

At least 29 Palestinians were killed in fresh Israeli air strikes on Gaza amid a deadly onslaught on the enclave, medics said.

One Palestinian was killed and others were wounded in an Israeli air strike near Al-Mashrou Roundabout, east of Rafah in southern Gaza, according to medical sources.

Two Palestinians were killed and several others wounded when an Israeli warplane bombed a tent sheltering displaced people near the regional junction in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.

Shortly before that, Israeli warplanes targeted a house belonging to the Omran family in the town of Al-Fukhari, east of Khan Younis, resulting in the deaths of two Palestinians and multiple injuries.

Israeli warplanes struck a home in the Al-Saftawi neighbourhood north of Gaza City, leaving seven people dead, a medical source said.

Israel has held Lebanon responsible for the missile fire on the Galilee area and will respond strongly to threats to its security, Defence Minister Israel Katz said.

Hundreds of Israeli reserve officers and soldiers have sent a letter to Army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir saying that troops have “returned to turmoil in Gaza, without clear objectives.”

They urged Zamir to define the goals of resuming the war in Gaza and to set a clear deadline for achieving mission objectives, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Authority (KAN) reported.

The Israeli military has claimed it intercepted one of two projectiles launched from Lebanon, with the other landing inside Lebanon.

Clashes broke out in West Jerusalem between Israeli police and ultra-Orthodox Jews, or Haredim, who were protesting attempts to conscript them into the army.

Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox Jews demonstrated in the city, throwing stones and eggs at buses, prompting the police to use force and arrest several protesters, according to the local Yedioth Ahronoth daily.

Israel released five Palestinian workers who had been arrested at the Karem Abu Salem border crossing in southern Gaza amid its ongoing onslaught.

The freed workers—Ayman Afaneh from Deir al-Balah, Naseem Al-Shanawi, Ahmed Al-Jabali and Ahmed Jaber from Northern Gaza and Hani Al-Bureim from Khan Younis—were transported to the European Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis for medical check-ups, witnesses said.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that its teams successfully entered Tel al-Sultan in Rafah, southern Gaza, and retrieved the body of a paramedic who was among nine medics trapped in the area following an Israeli siege five days ago.

In a statement, the organisation said after five days of coordination attempts, its teams — accompanied by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) — managed to reach Tel al-Sultan, where Israeli forces had besieged and targeted medical crews.

US Senator Bernie Sanders said he would force votes next week on resolutions that would block $8.8 billion in arms sales to Israel, citing the human rights crisis faced by Palestinians in Gaza after Israel's bombardment of the enclave and its suspension of aid deliveries.

"(Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu has clearly violated US and international law in this brutal war, and we must end our complicity in the carnage," Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, said in a statement announcing his plan.

US warplanes launched a series of air strikes on Yemen, the Houthi group reported.

"An American aggression targeted the Jarban area in Sanhan District, Sanaa (Governorate), with four air strikes," said the Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV, without providing further details.
