Overview
- Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian man east of Gaza City, bringing the total reported Palestinian deaths since the October 10 truce to 411.
- Aid flows remain far below truce targets, with Gaza authorities citing an average of 244 trucks a day versus the 600 benchmark, as UN and health officials report cold-related deaths in displacement camps.
- Hamas official Ghazi Hamad said the group is still searching for the body of Ran Gvili and noted prior transfers of 27 bodies, with the issue discussed in Cairo meetings that included Israeli security representatives.
- The White House is seeking to launch phase two in January — a technocratic Gaza administration, a multinational peace council and an international stabilisation force — but Israeli resistance has left the transition stuck.
- Rights groups say the truce has not halted large-scale harm, Gaza officials allege hundreds of ceasefire breaches, and UN peacekeepers reported coming under heavy fire from Israeli positions in southern Lebanon.
