Morning recap

Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Today we entered the 60th day of Israel's relentless campaign of bombing, invasion and siege of the Gaza Strip.

Overnight, telecommunications were shut down across the Palestinian enclave as Israeli fighter jets launched heavy air strikes, particularly in east and northeast of Khan Younis and Gaza City.

Internet connections were partly restored on Tuesday morning as residents began to assess the extent of damage caused by what some described as one of the most violent nights in the Israeli offensive so far.

It is now 10:45 am local time. Here are some of the updates from the past few hours:

Israeli air strikes hit a school sheltering displaced families in Khan Younis, killing at least 30 people
Israeli tanks are encircling and shelling Kamal Adwan hospital, one of the last remaining operational health facilities in Gaza's north
Fierce clashes between Palestinian fighters and Israeli troops are ongoing on the outskirts of Gaza City and Khan Younis
Three Israeli soldiers were killed in battles on Monday, taking the death toll of troops to 80 in over one month of ground operations
Palestinian death toll in Gaza since 7 October reached nearly 15,900 on Monday night, with an additional 250 killed in the West Bank
Israeli forces raided Jenin, Ramallah and Bethlehem overnight, killing at least one Palestinian
Following American accusations that Iran is enabling Houthi attacks, Tehran denied playing any role in actions against the US
