Gaza City has come under Israeli rocket attacks and heavy shelling since dawn on Sunday, killing at least 14 Palestinians and wounding many others, including children, according to Anadolu news agency.

Two children were killed and others wounded when Israeli fighter jets struck a tent in Al Rimal.

Palestine’s news agency Wafa reported that at least four Palestinians were also killed in a residential apartment in Al Ghazali, Sheikh Radwan neighbourhoods, while eight were killed when Al Farabi School, which was sheltering displaced people near Al Yarmouk Stadium, was hit.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel’s war has killed over 64,000 Palestinians and injured 162,000, with thousands still trapped under rubble.

The Israeli army killed at least 49 Palestinians and injured dozens others in Gaza on Saturday as six more people died of starvation in the blockaded territory, according to health officials.

The health officials said that the Israeli army targeted aid seekers, civilian houses and multi-story residential building.

On Saturday morning, the Israeli army issued forced evacuation orders for residents of Gaza City to move southward as the army pressed ahead with a widely condemned plan to occupy the city.

At least 425 protesters have been arrested at a London demonstration in support of the banned activist group, Palestine Action, police said.

The arrests as of 9 pm local time (2000 GMT) are in relation to the protest organised by Defend Our Juries in support of the “proscribed terrorist organisation Palestine Action”, Metropolitan Police said in a statement on Saturday.

Israeli forces injured 26 Palestinians and detained 18 others during raids across the West Bank on Saturday, while illegal settlers carried out attacks on farmland and Bedouin communities in the occupied territory.

According to witnesses, Israeli forces raided the city and the nearby towns of Aqaba and Tayasir, triggering clashes with residents, with Israeli forces using live fire, stun grenades and tear gas to disperse Palestinians.

Separately, the Al-Baidar organisation, which monitors Bedouin rights, said illegal settlers set fire to two agricultural structures in the Bedouin community of Al-‘Arara east of Jerusalem.

Israeli protesters marched on Saturday toward the home of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in West Jerusalem to demand a prisoner swap deal with Hamas, while thousands gathered at Hostage Square in Tel Aviv.

The demonstrations came hours after the families of Israeli captives in Gaza sent a message to Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, warning that the plan to occupy Gaza City “will not bring back the hostages but will kill them”.

Protesters carried signs demanding a deal, including “Enough”, highlighting demands to stop the war in Gaza and the return of the captives.

Israeli defence companies came under pressure at Poland’s MSPO defence exhibition this week, as police questioned employees about their roles in the genocidal war in Gaza.

According to the Jerusalem Post newspaper, several representatives of Israeli firms were summoned for questioning after a Polish journalist filed a complaint about their involvement in the war.

Among those questioned were staff from Elbit Systems and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. Of the 10 questioned, two had already left Poland before being called to answer questions.

"Hind's voice was a cry for rescue the entire world could hear but no one answered," film's director Kaouther Ben Hania says.

Hundreds of people rallied in central London demanding the British government lift its ban on the activist group Palestine Action, with chants condemning police arrests and the mounting death toll in Gaza.

Gathered in Parliament Square, demonstrators carried Palestinian flags and signs while chanting: “Over 100,000 dead and you are arresting us instead” and “Resisting genocide is not a crime.” Some banners read “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action,” “Disarm education,” and “It’s not a crime to act against genocide.”

The protest came after Defend Our Juries, the organising group, said earlier this week that more than 1,000 people had pledged to attend. Metropolitan Police officers made several arrests during the rally, as they did during a similar protest last month in which more than 500 people were detained.

Palestine Action was banned in July under the UK’s 2000 Terrorism Act, a decision that has led to the arrests of hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters for holding signs or showing support for the group.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned Israel’s destruction of high-rise apartment blocks in Gaza City, saying the attacks are aimed at forcing residents from their homes or trapping them in deadly conditions.

The statement came after Israeli warplanes flattened the 15-story Al-Sousi Tower in western Gaza City, which housed more than 60 apartments, only a day after the Mushtaha Tower was brought down in the same area. Both strikes came with short evacuation orders that left families scrambling to escape.

The ministry said Israel’s escalating attacks reflect a systematic plan to empty the city of nearly one million people, already displaced multiple times since the war began. It warned that Palestinians face a stark choice: “forced exile or certain death through bombing and starvation.”

According to the ministry, Israel’s strategy is to confine more than 2 million Palestinians into a sliver of land amounting to just 12 percent of the enclave, creating unlivable conditions as a prelude to mass expulsion. It urged regional and international actors to uphold the Palestinian and Arab consensus on postwar arrangements for Gaza to guarantee protection for civilians and prevent further displacement.

Pakistan denounced recent Israeli statements signaling an intention to forcibly displace Palestinians, saying such actions violate international law and aim to sabotage regional peace efforts.

The Foreign Ministry said in a statement that “forced displacement and continued expansion of illegal settlements reflect Israel’s disregard for international human rights and humanitarian law. We call upon the international community to play its role in addressing the humanitarian plight of the civilians and to hold Israel accountable.”

Islamabad reaffirmed its “unwavering support” for the Palestinian people and their struggle for self-determination, reiterating its backing for a sovereign, independent Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders with Al Quds Al Sharif as its capital.
