Israel's energy minister declared the country would cut off electricity supplies to Gaza, effective immediately, one week after all aid deliveries were halted.

Hamas accuses Israel of a "war crime" in blocking aid entering Gaza, as Benjamin Netanyahu says there are consequences for rejecting a US proposal to continue the truce.

Israel called off the release of more than 600 Palestinians from jail on Saturday in protest over the displays in Gaza.

Israel's prime minister promises Hamas will "pay the full price" for not releasing the body of an Israeli hostage alongside the remains of her two young children.

DNA testing of a body handed over by a Palestinian militant group has confirmed it to be the remains of Israeli hostage Shiri Bibas, according to a statement released by her family.

The remains are said to include those of Shiri Bibas and her two young children, Ariel and Kfir, who were abducted from a kibbutz in southern Israel during the October 7, 2023, terror attacks.

The UN's human rights chief says the display during a handover ceremony breached international law, which demands remains of the dead be treated with dignity.

The reservists are accused of severe abuse of the man, who suffered serious injuries as a result of his treatment behind bars

The handover is the first return of dead Israelis under the current six-week ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The wife and children of an Israeli hostage released a fortnight ago were killed during bombardment of Gaza.
