Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates on the Israeli war on Gaza:

  • Israeli tank shelling killed at least 12 Palestinians and wounded dozens in a tent encampment in western Gaza City early Tuesday, local health officials said.

  • Israeli forces pushed into southern and eastern Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, intensifying its assault on the besieged Paletinian population.

  • 26 nations, including the UK, France, and Canada, called for an immediate ceasefire and condemned the "inhumane killing of civilians" near aid sites. Israel’s Foreign Ministry rejected the demand as "disconnected from reality."

  • Belgian authorities briefly detained two Israelis attending a music festival after the Hind Rajab Foundation accused them of war crimes in Gaza, Israel’s Foreign Ministry confirmed.

  • Israeli strikes damaged a WHO staff residence and warehouse in Deir al-Balah on Monday, the agency said. Airstrikes hit the building three times, igniting fires, causing severe damage, and endangering staff and families, including children.
