Hamas's political leader abroad, Khaled Meshaal, has rejected calls to disarm Palestinian factions in Gaza, arguing that stripping weapons from an occupied people would turn them into an easy victim to be eliminated.

We are in the so-called southern region of Hebron, which has been under a curfew since dawn, Nassar said. There is an intensive deployment of occupation forces including bulldozers and tracked armoured vehicles. We witnessed tracked armoured vehicles the last time we saw these in Hebron was during the second Intifada during [Israeli] Operation Defensive Shield, he said, noting the significance of the heavy equipment.

It has been three months since the ceasefire took hold in Gaza. In this time, Israel has predictably refused to comply with its obligations under the deal. It continues to block the negotiated amounts of aid into the Strip. Adequate food, medicine and temporary shelters are not reaching us.
