Our live coverage from Gaza will shortly be closing until tomorrow morning.

Here are some of the day's key developments:

  • The death toll caused by detonations on Wednesday of hand-held radios used by Hezbollah rose to 20, the Lebanese health ministry said

  • The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Wednesday adopted a Palestinian-drafted resolution that demands Israel end "its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory" within 12 months

  • The decision to execute the pager attack, attributed to Israel, was "imposed" following an intelligence breach involving two Hezbollah operatives who discovered the tampered devices

  • Gold Apollo, the Taiwanese company connected to the pagers involved in the deadly explosions in Lebanon, has stated that it licenced its design to another firm and had "no involvement in the design or manufacturing" of the devices

  • More forces are being sent to Israel’s northern border, as the war with Hezbollah moves into a new phase after Tuesday’s pagers explosions, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said.

  • New licences for the export of "weapons of war" to Israel have been put on hold by Germany pending legal challenges

  • An Israeli air strike targeted a school sheltering displaced civilians in Shujaiya, a neighbourhood in the east of Gaza City, killing and injuring eight people
