Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates from the Israeli war on Gaza, now in its 331st day:

  1. Israeli forces have killed at least six Palestinians in air strikes on Gaza City and the Nuseirat refugee camp late on Sunday and into Monday morning, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa.

  2. Meanwhile, a drone strike near the occupied West Bank city of Jenin killed one Palestinian on Sunday, as the death toll from Israel's ongoing assault on the West Bank reaches 29.

  3. In Israel, nearly half a million people joined ant-government protests on Sunday evening, according to organisers, in the largest demonstrations calling for a ceasefire agreement with Hamas and denouncing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since the war began nearly 11 months ago.

  4. More protests are planned today across Israel as a one-day labour strike takes effect and pressure on Netanyahu mounts to release the captives in a prisoner exchange deal.
