The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades said it clashed with Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank city of Qalqilya “with machine guns and explosive devices”. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claims two Hezbollah members were killed in an Israeli air raid at the Syria-Lebanon border. The Israeli military reportedly killed two human rights lawyers in its recent air raids on the Gaza Strip, drawing a wave of condemnations. Israel’s war cabinet discussed the next steps for negotiations towards a hostage deal and ceasefire in its war with Hamas. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken deflected a question on why China’s treatment of the Uyghurs is genocide but Israel’s treatment of Palestinians in Gaza is not.
