At least one person was killed by an Israeli strike on a house in the Zeitoun neighbourhood south of Gaza City on Thursday, according to Arabic media reports. 

The strike also wounded at least one person. 

Israel has launched an attack on Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank, according to Arabic media reports. 

Israeli forces are are storming the Shuwaika suburb north of the refugee camp. 

Israel has also attacked Palestinians in Sebastia, northwest of Nablus. 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that he would accept a short ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza but would not commit to ending the conflict permanently. 

Netanyahu also said that the ceasefire in Lebanon had changed the dynamics in Gaza in Israel’s favour. 

“[Hamas] hoped that Hezbollah would come to save it, and indeed Nasrallah said on the second day when he attacked, ‘We will continue until Israel stops its attacks on Hamas.’ There is no Hezbollah. That’s why I think the conditions have changed very much for the better,” he said. 

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said he made a quid pro quo with the US to allow Palestinian banks in the occupied West Bank to continue operating in return for getting the US to prevent a UN Security Council Resolution recognising a Palestinian state. 

According to a report by Israel’s Channel 12, Israel’s Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer negotiated the deal with the US, which was concerned a rupture in banking ties would lead to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that the US withheld weapons shipments to Israel without providing details. 

In an interview with Channel 14, Netanyahu said President Donald Trump assured him his administration would not delay weapons when it returns to the White House in January. 

“President Trump told me unequivocally that, as far as he’s concerned, there will be no delay in any weapons,” Netanyahu said.

Iran plans to install more uranium-enriching centrifuges at its Fordow and Natanz plants and has instructed the UN about its plans, according to a report by Reuters on Thursday. 

Iran also plans to activate centrifuges that have already been installed. 

If the centrifuges were activated and installed, they could enrich to up to five percent purity, Iran told the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Iran already has 60 percent enriched uranium, which analysts and US officials say could be converted into weapons-grade material in a few days. 

At least four people were killed by an Israeli strike on a tent housing displaced people west of Khan Younis in Al-Mawasi. 

The strike comes on a deadly day for Gaza with at least 37 Palestinians already killed by Israeli strikes. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would use a ceasefire in Lebanon to restock weapons, adding that Israel has achieved its war aims. 

Netanyahu also said that Israel would obtain weapons whose transfer had been delayed by the US. 

The Financial Times reported earlier that the Biden administration had approved a sale of $680m in arms to Israel. 

The death toll from Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip rose to 37 on Thursday, according to Arabic media reports citing Palestinian health workers.

At least 32 people were killed by Israeli strikes on central and southern Gaza.

The death toll could rise with reports of injuries after Israel bombed a tent sheltering displaced people in Al-Mawasi in Khan Younis. 

Israel launched more strikes on southern Lebanon on Thursday, saying it targeted two Hezbollah operatives who entered a rocket launching site in southern Lebanon.

Like previous strikes, there did not appear to be a Hezbollah response. 

The strike underscores how Israel plans to continue hitting the group if it says it is threatened by their actions. 

At least 26 people were killed on Thursday by Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian health officials.

Israeli troops pounded central Gaza, and Israeli tanks were reported moving in the north and south. 

The head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hossein Salami, said Israel was forced to agree to a ceasefire in Lebanon which marked a “defeat” for the country. 

Salami phrased the agreement as a win for Hezbollah, adding, “We are witnessing the destruction of Israel. The Hezbollah truce is a very brilliant victory”. 

Israel’s security cabinet has extended the ability of Israeli banks to transfer Shekels to Palestinian banks in the occupied West Bank for one year, according to Walla news. 

Palestinian banks depend on Israeli banks to transfer money. 

A group of pro-Palestinian protesters who briefly interrupted the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City were arrested by police on Thursday.

The protesters stood in front of the Ronald McDonald float.

“The demonstrators were taken into custody without incident,” the New York Police Department said in a statement.
