West Bank fatalities: one Palestinian was killed by Israeli forces while reportedly attempting to break into a military base: one Israeli settler was killed by Palestinians. Following the official start of the olive harvest season, over 540 Palestinian olive trees were vandalized by Israeli settlers. The Israeli authorities halted the entry of all types of construction materials into the Gaza Strip, including for projects implemented by international organizations, until further notice, following the discovery of a 1.8- kilometer-long tunnel running from Gaza into Israel.
