General


Hamas and Israel on Thursday announced the extension of the truce deal minutes before it was due to expire.

At least three were people killed, 16 wounded in a shooting attack at West Jerusalem bus station. Two suspected attackers have also been killed, police say.

Sixteen Israeli and foreign captives have been freed from Gaza and 30 Palestinian female and child prisoners released from Israeli jails in the sixth phase of swap deal.

More than 15,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7. In Israel, the official death toll stands at about 1,200.
