Live Blog Update| Israel's genocide in Gaza

Evening recap

Hello Middle East Eye readers. On Tuesday, Lebanese officials began calling on the US and France to pressure Israel into respecting a ceasefire with Hezbollah.

Despite both sides agreeing to the ceasefire, Israel has repeatedly violated the terms of the agreement by launching military operations that Beirut considers flagrant breaches.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, Israeli air strikes continue to increase the number of Palestinians killed. Dozens of Palestinians were killed in Israeli bombardment on Tuesday alone.

Here's what else you need to know about Tuesday's developments in the Israeli war on Gaza:

  • Israel's new military attache in Belgium has been accused of war crimes by the Hind Rajab Foundation, a Brussels-based non-profit organisation.

  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the ceasefire with Lebanon does not mean the war is over, and vowed to continue fighting Hezbollah.

  • A new report released by Israeli human rights group B'Tselem documents "brutal violence" by Israeli soldiers against Palestinians in central Hebron in a new report. The document collected over 20 testimonies and detailed how victims were randomly seized or attacked with no explanation, with some abducted in plain sight.

  • An Israeli air strike targeting a car near Damascus has killed a senior Hezbollah figure responsible for liaising with the Syrian army, according to the Israeli military.

  • Hamas's armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, shared the second video in recent days showing a major ambush of Israeli forces in Gaza's southern city of Rafah. The video shows Palestinian fighters launching rocket fire at an Israeli soldier and an Israeli tank.

  • The US State Department said it was "outraged" at the killing of a Save The Children staffer by Israeli forces in Gaza and called for an urgent investigation by Israel.

  • An Israeli quadcopter dropped bombs on the Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, injuring three medical staff members. One staff member is in critical condition.
