Evening recap

Middle East Eye’s live coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza will shortly be closing for the evening.

Here are the day’s key developments.

Sunday marked the grim milestone of 100 days since the start of the conflict.

It saw at least 125 Palestinians killed and 265 injured.

According to the Palestinian government media office in Gaza, there have now been 23,968 deaths recorded by hospitals, 10,600 of them children and 7,200 women.

The media office also released figures saying that the Israeli army had committed 2,000 massacres (a massacre refers to an attack that leads to the mass killing of at least three people).

Late on Sunday, Hamas aired a video showing three Israeli hostages it is holding in Gaza. The film ended with the chyron: "Tomorrow, we will inform you of their fate."

Hamas had said earlier on Sunday it had lost contact with some hostages amid Israeli shelling of Gaza which, it said, may have killed them.

Earlier, Israeli troops killed four gunmen who crossed into a disputed border area from Lebanon. Haaretz reported that the men were from a Palestinian group in Lebanon called the “Alez al-Islami” brigade.

Later, an anti-tank missile fired by Hezbollah from Lebanon killed two Israelis in the northern town of Kfar Yuval.

In Israel, it was announced that Ronen Bar, the head of the Israeli internal security agency Shin Bet, would resign after the war on Gaza. It has been claimed that Bar took responsibility for Shin Bet missing the warning signs that led to the 7 October attack.

In the US, President Joe Biden is facing huge anger from Congress over his decision to order air strikes against Yemen’s Houthi rebels. The decision by Biden has exponentially increased the level of anger from lawmakers who have been working since October to push for a ceasefire in Gaza.

And at Johannesburg’s international airport, the South African legal team that had been presenting its case of genocide against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague was filmed receiving a rapturous welcome by cheering crowds waving South African and Palestinian flags.
