Good afternoon,
Here's a summary of what has taken place today:
Hamas's military wing, al-Qassam Brigades, said it launched a "big missile" attack on Tel Aviv on Sunday, which struck several cities across central Israel - including Herzliya. This attack marks the first rocket attack in six months since Israel began its bombardment of Gaza.
Geneva-based NGO Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor is warning that famine is spreading rapidly across the Gaza Strip, amid calls by 70 rights groups for international institutions to declare that a famine is taking place in the besieged enclave.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian health ministry said that Israeli strikes have killed at least 35,984 Palestinians and injured 80,643 since 7 October.
