The Israeli military is accused of near-daily ceasefire violations in Gaza, with continued air strikes reported.
At least seven Palestinians were killed in the past 24 hours, including children, in attacks in Beit Lahiya and Khan Younis.
Medical sources say the wounded were taken to hospitals, including al-Shifa and al-Nasr.
More than 780 Palestinians have reportedly been killed since the ceasefire began in October.
Residents say ongoing strikes, along with restrictions on food and medicine, are worsening conditions.
Meanwhile, municipal elections are set to take place in Gaza’s Deir el-Balah, the first such vote in years.
Many Palestinians, particularly young people, say they hope the elections will bring meaningful change.

Workers from two regional parties in India have been fighting on election day for West Bengal’s state assembly. Local media reported the fighting broke out as opposition party leaders accused the state ruling party of voter intimidation.
Israel has created a military zone several kilometres into southern Lebanon, behind a so-called ‘Yellow Line’. Despite a ceasefire, Israeli forces’ control of the area makes it highly dangerous, as Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr reports.
In Lebanon, the government is entering potential talks with Israel under pressure and without a unified political stance.
The situation echoes the early 1980s, when the 1982 Lebanon War and subsequent negotiations led to deep internal divisions.
A US-backed peace deal in 1983, signed during occupation and civil war, ultimately worsened tensions and triggered the February 6, 1984 uprising.
The agreement collapsed, shifting influence towards Syria and later Iran.
Today, senior figures such as Walid Jumblatt and Nabih Berri oppose direct talks, calling instead for an end to hostilities.
President Joseph Aoun argues negotiations are necessary to secure stability.
Divisions between the government and Hezbollah raise concerns that history could repeat itself, with risks of renewed instability.

A remote island province in the southern Philippines is grappling with a severe supply crisis driven by rising transport costs and disrupted trade routes. Tawi-Tawi residents are increasingly turning to neighbouring Sabah in eastern Malaysia for essential goods, as the traditional supply line from the Philippine mainland has been largely cut off following a ferry accident last year. The local government in Bongao has declared a state of emergency, and many islanders say they can no longer afford to travel for supplies, with transport costs nearly doubling.

Millions of people in West Bengal have been removed from the electoral register ahead of state assembly elections, with Muslims and other religious minorities reportedly disproportionately affected. The BJP-led federal government says the revision was necessary to remove duplicates and deceased voters, but rights groups say the process was rushed and strips more than nine million people of their right to vote.
Many fear the exercise could affect their claim to citizenship and access to government services, including bank accounts and subsidised rations.

US President Donald Trump says the naval blockade on Iran will remain in place until a deal is reached while insisting it's ‘destroying’ the country economically. Here’s a breakdown of how the US blockade is impacting Iran and its people.
Pope Leo XIV visited a prison in Equatorial Guinea on the last day of his Africa tour. The pontiff spoke to 600 detainees in the pouring rain about dignity and reconciliation, after criticising prison conditions.
Israel has killed journalist Amal Khalil and injured her colleague Zeinab Faraj in a ‘double-tap’ attack in southern Lebanon. Repeated strikes on the reporters and paramedics delayed rescue efforts for hours, according to Lebanon’s Al Akhbar News.
Amid hostilities with Iran, the US Constitution divides war powers between Congress and the White House.
Only Congress can declare war—last formally used in 1942—yet presidents acting as commander in chief under Article 2 have initiated conflicts citing rapid defence needs; the 1973 War Powers Resolution mandates notification within 48 hours and a 60‑day limit, extendable by 30, giving President Donald Trump until 1 May before Congress must act.
Democrats say the administration is bypassing authorisation, while Republicans say it is following the law.

US White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says President Trump has not set a deadline to end the ceasefire with Iran. On Wednesday he extended the truce until Iran ‘submits a unified proposal’, but is maintaining the US naval blockade of Iranian ports.
Mark Kimmett, a retired US general and former assistant secretary of state for political-military affairs, joins Al Jazeera live from Doha. He says the absence of Hezbollah from talks makes progress unlikely, blaming Iran’s influence and shifting conditions on the Strait of Hormuz for stalled negotiations, while noting the US can still manage multiple global crises despite rising pressure.

In this episode of This is America, hosted by Cyril Vanier, Al Jazeera asks how the US president has been able to wage war on Iran without fresh approval from Congress – and why Republicans are still giving him a free pass as a crucial legal deadline looms.
From Washington, Vanier explains that under the War Powers Resolution the president can deploy troops for just 60 days without authorisation; that clock runs out in one week. Support for the war is slipping, the president’s approval is “in the firing line”, Republican approval of Congress has tanked and the military is seeking an extra $200bn, even as voters feel the impact in higher living costs and petrol prices. Yet from the start of the war, most Republicans on Capitol Hill have backed him.
Phil Lavelle goes back to first principles with “Congress” and “the Constitution” in hand. He explains that only Congress can declare war, notes it has not done so since World War II, and shows that there is no new authorisation for this conflict with Iran. He sets out how presidents have relied on broad commander‑in‑chief powers and how the War Powers Resolution – passed after Vietnam – requires notification within 48 hours and limits deployments to 60 days, with a narrow extension to withdraw troops safely. That means Congress must now decide whether to let the war continue or insist it stops.
Vanier then tracks how Congress has responded so far: six war‑powers votes since the strikes on Iran began, four in the Senate and two in the House – all of them unsuccessful at curbing the president’s authority. But the margin in the House has shrunk from seven votes to just one, a sign that Republican unity is fraying.
Mike Hanna at the White House and Patty Culhane on Capitol Hill pick up the political story. Culhane details how the Cook Political Report has shifted several Senate races towards Democrats, driven largely by public anger over gas prices that have jumped by more than a dollar since the war began. She reports that some Republicans now openly say they will not “rubber stamp” a $200bn war request. Hanna explains why, even though the president is not on the ballot, his ability to govern depends on Republicans holding Congress – and how rising prices and an affordability crisis could derail that.
John Holman reports from Washington on Congress’s failure so far to stop the war and the brewing clash over a record $1.5tn Pentagon budget, as veterans protesting inside the Capitol warn that inaction has life‑and‑death consequences for US troops and, in far greater numbers, Iranians.
In the studio, Democratic strategist Roger Fisk and Republican strategist Rob Arlett debate whether the Iran war is a “double‑edged sword” for the president’s party. Arlett argues Republican voters still back the war for now but admits that if it drags on into the summer without clear gains, it will be “very, very problematic” for Republicans in November. Fisk says Democrats cannot simply wait for the war to damage the president; they must show voters how Iran policy feeds into prices at the pump, costs for farmers and wider economic pain, while making the case that Congress has abdicated its constitutional role.
Finally, Alex Baird follows the to‑and‑fro on social media as the congressional fight spills online. He shows Democrats calling Republicans “cowards” for refusing to rein in Trump’s war powers, Republicans demanding loyalty to the commander‑in‑chief and branding dissenters “with the enemy”, and a Congress that, for now, is still refusing to limit the president’s power to wage war.
As the War Powers deadline approaches, This is America asks whether Republicans in Congress will enforce the rules that are supposed to govern war – or continue to let the president fight in Iran without a new mandate, with American democracy and the constitutional balance of powers on the line.

“The president hasn’t set a firm deadline as I’ve seen in some reporting today… I know there’s been some anonymous source reporting saying there’s a three to five day window. That is not true,” said spokesperson Karoline Leavitt.
The US leader is waiting for a “unified response” from Iran’s leaders to the US terms for a peace deal, she added.

It was producing around 240,000 barrels of oil per day before it had to be shut down.
The region's tourism sector is also expected to be badly affected by the fire.
Al Jazeera's Yulia Shapovalova reports from Tuapse on the Russian Black Sea coast.

More than a million Europeans have signed a petition asking the EU to suspend a trade deal with Israel for its atrocities in Gaza.
Three states — Spain, Ireland and Slovenia — tabled a proposal backing the call.
But Germany and Italy blocked the move.
So, can a divided EU become a strong force opposing Israeli actions in the Middle East?

The IRGC’s capture of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz reflects the government’s deep dissatisfaction with the US blockade, according to Professor Foad Izadi of the University of Tehran.
“Under international law, blockading another country is an act of war,” he told Al Jazeera. “The Iranian government believed there was a ceasefire, and engaging in acts of war during a ceasefire is a violation of it.”
He noted that an Iranian ship was fired upon just 24 hours before the next round of negotiations was due in Islamabad.
“They want the blockade lifted, and what you are seeing today is their response.
“The blockade is designed to suffocate the Iranian people in the hope that they take to the streets and seek regime change, which was Trump’s stated goal from the outset.”

Pakistan’s last-minute intervention was decisive in securing the ceasefire extension, according to Maleeha Lodhi, former Pakistani ambassador to the US.
“Pakistan’s top military and civilian leadership conveyed to Washington the need to extend the ceasefire so that a window could be found and space created for diplomacy to be pursued,” she told Al Jazeera.
On the current impasse, Lodhi said, “Both sides want an off-ramp.”
“Neither would want to go back to war. But at the same time, neither side wants to give the other any kind of a win before the talks even get going.
“President Trump seems to say different things at different times, and sometimes in the same breath. That does not build trust, and it does not build the positive atmosphere you need for talks.
“Hopes are not exactly fading, diplomacy is not dead. It is just getting harder to get it going.”

The terminology of the US-Israel war on Iran is drawn from a range of linguistic origins. From “Epic Fury” to “Kafir” and “Hormuz”, there are stories behind what these words mean and where they come from. Al Jazeera’s Alma Milisic and Basel Ghazoghli break down some of the terms.
US President Donald Trump extends the ceasefire with Iran until, he says, negotiations conclude. But he’s keeping the US naval blockade in force which Tehran calls "piracy and state terrorism".
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has seized two cargo ships, the MSC Francesca and the Epaminondes in the Strait of Hormuz.

Lebanon's Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has condemned Israel's ongoing occupation of Lebanese land and rejected the so-called Israeli "yellow line" buffer zone, raising fears of a long-term occupation similar to Gaza. In southern Lebanon, the Israeli military's map shows a zone several kilometres deep where it wants to be free of Hezbollah, with Israel asserting control by fire and levelling villages where Shia Muslims live, declaring at least 50 towns no-go zones — unlike during Israel's 18-year occupation that ended in 2000, people are not being allowed back. Hezbollah is relying on guerrilla tactics — near daily attacks and ambushes — to break any military boundary Israel tries to impose.
By Israel's own admission, Hezbollah is still south of the yellow line, meaning this is contested territory.

US President Donald Trump has accused China of secretly assisting Iran during the war on Iran, after US forces intercepted a ship he described as a “gift from Beijing”.
He said the vessel was carrying unspecified cargo, adding he was “surprised” by the alleged shipment.
China rejected the accusation, insisting it is a foreign-flagged vessel and that Beijing remains neutral.
The comments come amid heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, where maritime security has been under strain during the war on Iran.
Beijing has stepped up diplomatic engagement with regional and European leaders, while criticising US naval actions as an escalation.
China’s reliance on Iranian oil has been heavily disrupted since the start of the war, reshaping energy flows to Asia.
The row risks further straining US–China relations ahead of Trump’s planned visit to Beijing.

Two people have been killed after Israeli settlers opened fire on a school in the occupied West Bank, including a 14-year-old boy shot in the head. The attack comes amid a surge in violence by settlers and Israeli forces against Palestinians.
Nearly one in three people in Somalia are facing hunger as food, fuel and water costs rise.
Years of failed rains, alongside floods and conflict, have devastated livelihoods, especially in Jubaland.
In Kismayo, drought has wiped out livestock, a key source of income.
More than half a million displaced people are now living in camps with limited access to food and aid.
Families arriving in camps report severe shortages, with malnutrition cases rising among children.
Aid cuts and disrupted supply routes linked to the war on Iran are worsening the crisis.
Officials warn humanitarian assistance is insufficient, leaving many without immediate support.
Al Jazeera's Catherine Soi reports from Luglow, Jubaland State, Southern Somalia.
Francesca Sangiorgi, Humanitarian Director of Save the Children, told Al Jazeera that fuel and food prices have surged by up to 30 percent, with Somalia importing 70 percent of its food. The humanitarian response plan is just 12 percent funded, and 1.84 million children face acute malnutrition. "We want to make sure these children have a chance at life," she said.

Two competitors were filmed helping a runner who had collapsed from exhaustion during the Boston Marathon on Monday. Ajay Haridas had fallen just metres before the finish line, only to be helped across by the two participants.
Human rights groups, UN investigators and Israeli legal organisations say torture and sexual violence of Palestinian detainees is part of a wider system of repression.
A group of Israeli settlers torched a Palestinian home overnight in the occupied West Bank and prevented the family from escaping. Eight people were injured in the attack, including a one-year-old.
