Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates from the Israeli war on Gaza and Lebanon, now in its 413th day:

  • Israeli drones bombed the emergency entrance of the war-battered Kamal Adwan hospital in north Gaza late on Thursday, wounding medical and causing damage, according to health officials. 

  • According to Al Jazeera, at least 17 Palestinians have been killed overnight in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip.

  • In Lebanon, Israeli jets bombed the southern suburb of Beirut at least four times in the early hours of Friday.

  • Over in the US, President Joe Biden came out against the ICC arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant, calling them "outrageous" and reaffirming Washington's backing of Israel.
