Meanwhile, Gaza’s Civil Defense Authority reports that at least 25 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Sunday.

Since the onset of the Gaza war in October, Israeli forces have installed at least 119 iron gates across Palestinian villages in the West Bank, effectively locking residents inside.

Hamas has released a third video of Israeli hostage Elkana Bohbot, in which he is seen making a simulated phone call to his family and expressing his longing to return. “Keep doing everything for me!

Hamas stated that they are willing to release all remaining hostages in exchange for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Fatima Hasoona, a 25-year-old Palestinian photojournalist from Gaza, was killed in an Israeli airstrike that also claimed the lives of 10 of her family members. Fatima had been documenting Israeli atrocities in Gaza for the past 18 months. A documentary about her work is set to be screened at a film festival in France next month. Before her death, she posted: “If I die, let my death roar. Let it not become just another headline or statistic. Let it be a death that etches itself into history—an image no one can erase.”

In a humanitarian gesture marking Easter Sunday, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine from Saturday 6 PM to Sunday 6 PM local time.

However, our forces must remain ready to respond to any provocations or violations.”

Notably, 70% of Yemen’s exports and 80% of its humanitarian aid are channeled through Ras Isa, Hodeidah, and As-Salif ports.
