Evening recap

After eight days of blackout, internet services are gradually being restored to Gaza on Friday. The ability for the enclave's residents to have telecommunications access was celebrated by many.

But also, it allowed the world to get a fuller image of the carnage left by Israeli forces over the past week in Gaza.

Earlier this month, Israel has said it shifted to a lower intensity phase of its war in Gaza, however daily tallies of the Palestinian death toll remain high. For example, these were the death tolls each day this past week.

• Monday: 132 Palestinians killed

• Tuesday: 158 Palestinians killed

• Wednesday: 163 Palestinians killed

• Thursday: 172 Palestinians killed

Here's an overview of today's developments:

• The UK's foreign secretary recommended arms sales to Israel despite "serious concerns" that Israel breached international law in Gaza. Read more on that here.

• Ajith Sunghay, the head of the UN Human Rights Office in occupied Palestine, said the treatment of some Palestinians from Gaza detained by Israel may amount to torture.

• A group of 60 lawmakers are urging Biden to reaffirm that the US strongly opposes "the forced and permanent displacement" of Palestinians from Gaza.

• Biden remains opposed to a ceasefire, according to a White House spokesperson.

• A White House spokesperson also said that the US has conducted three more strikes against the Houthis.

• A Palestinian American teenager was killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank. The US said it was "seriously concerned" about the news.

• Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of the UN refugee agency for Palestinians, said the West Bank is witnessing its highest levels of violence yet.
