Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

It's just after 11:00 am in Palestine and Israel (8:00 GMT). Here are the latest developments from Israel's war on Gaza, now in its 211th day:

  • Israeli forces killed and wounded several Palestinians overnight in shelling that hit areas across Rafah, Gaza City, Deir al-Balah and the central Nuseirat refugee camp, according to Wafa news agency. 

  • The Palestinian civil defence said it recovered the bodies of seven people killed earlier in the war in Khan Younis as they continue efforts to locate more than 10,000 missing people. 

  • In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces killed at least one person in Dayr al-Ghusun town north of Tulkarm during a night raid in which they attacked a home with several shoulder-fired missiles. 

  • The CIA director, Qatari representatives and a Hamas delegation are all expected in Cairo on Saturday in the latest push to secure a ceasefire deal that would end the Israel war and allow for a prisoner exchange.
