While the hostage deal was being implemented in Gaza, a group of Israeli settlers raided the Palestinian village of Sinjil, torching a home and two vehicles, including one that was holding gas containers, which caused a major blast, Palestinian media reports.

Palestinian media reports that an 86-year-old man had been in the home that was torched but was rescued in time and is being rushed to the hospital for treatment.

En route to the hospital, his ambulance is reportedly held up at an Israeli military checkpoint.

There are also no reports of arrests.
