    An overnight Israeli army attack on a house in Rafah killed 14 Palestinians, including a two-year-old girl.
    135 Palestinians have been killed and 312 wounded in 24 hours, according to the Health Ministry in Gaza.
    Three Palestinian teenagers shot dead near an illegal Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank.
    The Gaza Government Media Office said that there is no fuel left to power generators at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, putting ICU and nursery patients at extreme risk of death.
    At least 23,843 people have been killed and more than 60,317 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll in Israel from the October 7 Hamas attacks stands at 1,139.

    Anti-Netanyahu protests pick up steam

    While anti-Netanyahu protests that had rocked Israel for months before the beginning of the war initially subsided after the attack on October 7, the unpopular leader has faced renewed calls to step down.

    “This is the second week where there is expected to be large numbers. In fact, last week, an estimated 20,000 people attended this protest,” Al Jazeera correspondent Sara Khairat reported from a rally in Tel Aviv. “They’re calling for early elections, and they’ve also called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to quit.”

    “They [anti-Netanyahu protests] had stopped [after October 7] for two reasons. First, the country had been under emergency law, and second, many agreed across Israel that they needed to stay united despite any differences, saying that now wasn’t the time to be talking about anything other than bringing the captives home and focusing on the war,” she added.

    Israeli forces attack hose in mourning for three slain Palestinians

    Palestinian news agency Wafa reports that Israeli security forces have raided the house in Hebron in the occupied West Bank. The people inside were mourning three Palestinians who were shot and killed near the Israeli settlement of Adora.

    Ismail Ahmed Youssef Abu Jahisha, 19; Mahmoud Arafat Youssef Abu Jahisha, 16; and Uday Isma’in Yousef Abu Jahisha, also 16, were all cousins from the town of Idhna.

    The soldiers fired tear gas, live and rubber-coated bullets and sound bombs at the house.

    Israeli military says it hit Hezbollah targets in Lebanon

    The Israeli military has said that it struck “terrorist infrastructure” used by Hezbollah in Lebanon, as tensions remain high on the country’s northern border.

    In a social media post on Friday, the army said that Israeli jets struck targets in the areas of Mis al-Jabal and Kafr Yarin.

    The post also says that a number of projectiles fired out of Lebanon fell in open spaces in northern Israel.
