- After returning last week during the ceasefire that began Oct. 10, the Shorbasi family's twins discovered a round object while playing outside that their grandfather said `It was like a toy'.
- Doctors at Shifa Hospital said medical teams performed emergency surgery on Yahya and Nabila, reporting life-threatening injuries and warning recovery is uncertain without medicine and supplies.

- Two years of war have left up to 60 million tons of debris across Gaza Strip, complicating clearing efforts as international de-mining experts join in the coming weeks while residents and aid workers face ongoing dangers.
