Morning recap

Good morning MEE readers. It has now been a full day since Israel's military picked up where it left off before the truce in Gaza began last week.

Israel has been bombing areas all over the besieged enclave on Friday night and Saturday morning. The death toll in Gaza is around 180 Palestinians killed since fighting resumed on Friday, but that figure is likely to rise on Saturday.

Here's a round-up of the latest updates:

A new poll has found that less than a third of American respondents approve of Biden's handling of the war in Gaza. For 18-34 year olds, that figure is less than 22 percent.
A report from the Wall Street Journal has said the US is sending Israel 2,000-pound bunker-buster bombs.
The Committee to Protect Journalists says that 61 journalists have been killed since 7 October. That figure, mostly consisting of Palestinians, also includes Lebanese and Israeli journalists.
One of the largest unions in the US, United Auto Workers, has joined the call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Syrian state media reported that the Syrian military intercepted a rocket attack by Israel, and said it took down most of the missiles.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is urging Iraq's prime minister to protect American military instalments in Iraq from Iranian-aligned groups.
