Live updates: Israel-Hamas war and the latest on the Middle East conflict (2024)

At least 14 people have been killed during the ongoing Israel Defense Forces operation at theNur al-Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

Palestinian authorities say they have been able to retrieve a number of bodies and injured people from the camp, as the IDF has partially withdrawn from the area.

Videos filmed by residents show a bulldozer destroying a building as IDF vehicles leave the camp after more than 24 hours of the raid.

Other videos show ambulances entering the camp after the IDF withdraws. Residents tell CNN that Israeli forces have left the immediate area but are still present in the nearby city of Tulkarm.

Earlier on Saturday, the IDF said its forces killed 10 "terrorists" and arrested eight wanted suspects during the extensive operation, which started on Thursday.

The health ministry and Palestinian news agency Wafa, meanwhile, have said at least one child and one teen are among those killed, and that the IDF has arrested young people en masse and destroyed key infrastructure.

The operation appears to be one of the largest in the West Bank since October 7.

CNN has reached out to the IDF for an operational update.

A spokesperson for the Palestinian Authority president strongly condemned the US House of Representatives' approval Saturday of a $26 billion aid package for Israel.

The aid will directly correlate to the increasing number of Palestinian casualties, said the spokesperson, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, according to a statement published by the Palestinian official news agency WAFA.

Abu Rudeineh labeled the aid package a "dangerous escalation" and an act of aggression against the Palestinian people. He said the support gives Israel the green light to broaden its war across the region, and undermines the prospects for regional and global stability.

The aid package passed by the House still faces a vote in the US Senate before being approved.

Back in the US: Protesters have gathered near the Wilmington, Delaware, home of US President Joe Biden — who has backed the aid package — holding signs and chanting, calling for a ceasefire.

One chant that can be heard is “Biden, Biden you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide.”They are also chanting “Biden is a war criminal,” and “Genocide Joe has got to go.”

The president is spending the weekend in Wilmington.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health condemned two separate incidents involving emergency medical crews operating in the West Bank on Saturday.

An ambulance driver was killed by Israeli settlers as he tried to rush injured Palestinians to safety, and another ambulance crew was detained and questioned by the Israel Defense Forces outside a West Bank hospital, according to the ministry and Palestine Red Crescent Society.

"The Ministry urgently calls on international health organizations, human rights institutions, and the International Committee of the Red Cross to urgently act to curb the escalating practices of the occupation and settlers against treatment centers and medical crews, and to allow them to perform their humanitarian duty," the ministry said.

CNN has reached out to the IDF for comment.

Israel's foreign ministry will summon ambassadors from various countries Sunday to express its displeasure with their support for this week's Palestinian membership bid at the United Nations, Foreign Minister Israel Katz said Saturday.

The diplomatic push involves countries that have voted in favor of Palestinian membership in the UN and have ambassadors stationed in Israel, including France, Ecuador, Japan, Malta, South Korea, Slovenia, China and Russia.

Algeria, Sierra Leone, Guyana and Mozambique — which also supported the proposal — do not have embassies in Israel.

An ambulance driver was killed by Israeli settlers as he tried to transport Palestinians who had been attacked by settlers in the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health and an aid organization.

The ministry identified the driver as Mohammed Awad Allah Mohammed Musa, 50, and said he worked with the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS).

He was killed by settlers who opened fire on his ambulance, PRCS told CNN.

Another crew detained: In a separate incident, the Israel Defense Forces detained an ambulance crew at the entrance of the Thabet Thabet hospital in Tulkarm, West Bank, the PRCS reported.

In pictures shared by the organization, the ambulance crew is seen siting inside an IDF vehicle,surrounded by soldiers. PRCS says the crew was detained and interrogated while trying to carry out humanitarian work.

Violence in the West Bank: Violence against Palestinians by extremist settlers — long a reality in the West Bank — has spiked since the October 7 attacks and during Israel's ensuing military campaign in Gaza.

The settlers, whose homes in the occupied territories are considered illegal by most of the international community, and those who support them have been subject to increasing sanctions by the United States and European Union.

Meanwhile, the IDF is currently carrying out one of its largest operations in the West Bank since the start of the war. The military said Saturday it has killed 10 "terrorists" in the ongoing raid at the Nur al-Shams refugee camp. It says eight IDF soldiers and one Border Force officer have been lightly or moderately injured in fighting.

The Palestinian news agency Wafa, by contrast, has said at leastone person killed at the camp was a child, and that the operation has brought mass arrests of young people and destruction of infrastructure.

The fighting between Israel and Hezbollahthat has flaredsince October 7 continued on Saturday.

The Israel Defense Forces said about 10 launches were detected from southern Lebanon, and sirens were activated five times on Saturday morning.

On its Telegram channel, the IDF also said aircraft had struck a Hezbollah structure in the area of Aita al-Shaab, as well as a “terrorist who operated in Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure in the area of Kfarkela (Kfar Kila) in southern Lebanon.” CNN cannot independently confirm the IDF claims about "terrorist infrastructure."

Later Saturday, Hezbollah said it targeted two buildings used by the IDF in Shlomi, northern Israel, in response to strikes in Aita al-Shaab and Kfar Kila.

The militant group said the Israeli strikes targeted "civilian homes."��The Lebanese National News Agency also reported a house was destroyed in the strike in Aita al-Shaab. It did not specify if the attack in Shlomi caused any casualties, according to a statement posted on Telegram. CNN cannot independently confirm the claim about homes.

Hezbollah also said it targeted and destroyed "spy equipment" at the IDF's Hanita site on Saturday.

Following the exchanges of fire, Hezbollah announced the death of another one of its fighters.

Hezbollah also said Saturday it targeted a military site and a gathering of IDF soldiers in the Ruwaisat Al-Alam site, which the group says is located in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Shuba Hills.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked the US House of Representatives for passing a package that includes aid to Israel.

“The US Congress just overwhelmingly passed a much appreciated aid bill that demonstrates strong bipartisan support for Israel and defends Western civilization. Thank you friends, thank you America!” Netanyahu said on social media after the vote Saturday.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz also thanked the House, saying he hopes the package will next pass in the US Senate, "soon with strong bipartisan support."

Posting on X, Katz thanked Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson and Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
