The Palestinian Red Crescent said it had recovered the bodies of 15 rescuers killed a week ago when Israeli forces targeted ambulances in Gaza.

Bodies of eight medics from the Red Crescent, six members of Gaza's civil defence agency and one employee of a UN agency were retrieved, the Red Crescent said in a statement.

It said one medic from the Red Crescent remained missing.

"These disrespectful and baseless allegations are part of an effort to cover up the crimes committed by Netanyahu and his associates," says Turkish Foreign Ministry.

At least 33 Palestinians, including 13 children, were killed and several others injured since early Sunday in Israeli air strikes across several areas in Gaza on the first day of Eid al Fitr.

Houthi media reported that four US air strikes targeted Yemen's capital Sanaa.

According to the Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV, the strikes targeted the Jidar area in Bani al-Harith district, north of the Yemeni capital.

There have been no reports of casualties or destruction, while Washington has not commented yet.

Hamas issued a message on Eid al Fitr holiday, saying that this year's festival comes while Palestinians in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem endure "brutal Zionist aggression amid siege, starvation, killing and destruction".

"On this blessed Eid, we remember the steadfastness of our great people and their valiant resistance," Hamas said in a statement.

"Eid al Fitr arrives this year as our people in Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem face savage Zionist aggression, suffering from siege, starvation, killing and destruction, all under disgraceful international silence and unconditional American support for the occupation," it added.

Families of Israeli captives staged a protest outside the home of Ron Dermer, Israel's minister for strategic affairs and chief negotiator in prisoner exchange talks.

According to Israel's Channel 13, demonstrators called on Dermer to "resume negotiations immediately or step down" from his role.

Sheikh Ekrima Sabri, the imam of Al-Aqsa Mosque, called on the Muslim world to show solidarity with the Palestinian people in their struggle against Israeli crimes.

A statement issued by Sabri's office on Eid al Fitr holiday highlighted "the ongoing genocide in Gaza and military aggression in the occupied West Bank".

Sabri extended Eid greetings to the Muslim world, noting that "while the community celebrates the occasion, the Palestinian people continue to endure pain and sorrow".

Israel's security cabinet approved a new settlement road near occupied East Jerusalem, paving the way for further Israeli construction in the contentious "E1" area.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Israel Katz and two settlement chiefs welcomed the decision, Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported.

The project includes an underground road in the occupied West Bank, allowing Israel to move forward with plans to expand settlements in E1, an area beyond the Green Line.

While the road would link Palestinian towns, it would also separate them from the rest of the occupied West Bank and restrict Palestinian movement on key routes between Jerusalem and the Maale Adumim settlement, which would remain accessible primarily to Israelis.

The Israeli army claimed that it had successfully intercepted a missile launched from Yemen before it could breach Israeli airspace.

In a statement, the army said: "The air force intercepted a missile launched from Yemen," adding that it "was intercepted before it entered Israeli airspace".

"Alerts were activated in line with established procedures," it said.

"This is our strategy," the Israeli PM says, adding that Tel Aviv is "ready to discuss" it at any time.
