Tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza spent a second night on street waiting for Israeli forces to let them cross the so-called Netzarim corridor and return home to their loved ones in the north of the enclave.- Israel’s military said Palestinians will be allowed to cross the al-Rashid Street by foot starting at 7am local time (05:00 GMT) and the Salah al-Din Street by vehicle from 9am local time (07:00 GMT).

- The United States and Lebanon announced the extension of the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire deal until February 18, after Israeli forces failed to withdraw from southern parts of the country and killed 22 people seeking to return to their homes.
