🔴 EVENING RECAP Egypt and Qatar are pressuring Israel to release 620 Palestinian prisoners it had pledged to free after Hamas released six captives from Gaza under the ceasefire deal, according to a report by the Associated Press. Israeli troops attacked mourners attending the funeral of a Palestinian man in the town of al-Issawiya near occupied East Jerusalem, according to a report by the Wafa news agency. Syria's interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, received an invitation to attend an Arab summit in Cairo to discuss post-war governance in Gaza, AFP reported, citing the Syrian presidency. Israel said its troops would remain for many months in refugee camps in the occupied West Bank after its intensifying military operation displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians living there. Israel will not accept the presence of forces from Syria's newly established army in the southern outskirts of the capital, Damascus, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. Israeli forces stormed the town of Silat al-Harithiya, west of Jenin, and forced shop owners to close their shops, local sources reported. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel was prepared to resume fighting in the Gaza Strip "at any moment" while vowing to complete the war's objectives "whether through negotiation or by other means". The Palestinian health ministry reported that 10 bodies were brought to hospitals in Gaza over the past 24 hours, raising the death toll since 7 October 2023 to 48,339. Israeli strikes hit Lebanon today, in addition to the deployment of fighter jets to fly over the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
