The Israeli government has postponed a construction tender for 1,200 apartments in the West Bank, beyond the Green Line, by a month. According to Haaretz, this decision was made to avoid using the tender for electioneering purposes.
In a separate incident, Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. Several Palestinians, including a child, were also wounded in an Israeli drone attack on the outskirts of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Israeli forces also arrested four Palestinian farmers while they were harvesting olives on their land east of Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank. The farmers were working near the Israeli settlement of Einav when they were detained, as reported by Wafa news agency.
