Morning recap: Israeli forces surround Indonesia Hospital

Good morning MEE readers. The past several hours have been marked by fears that Israel will launch a military operation on Indonesia Hospital, similar to the one that it launched just a few days ago on al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical complex in Gaza.

Indonesia Hospital has been facing heavy Israeli bombardment on Monday morning, while tanks have recently been seen nearby. At least eight people have been killed inside the hospital, and two doctors have been injured.

In case you need to catch up, here are some of the latest developments:

• In a meeting in Beijing, a delegation of ministers from Arab and Muslim-majority countries called for a ceasefire in Gaza, and also stressed the urgent need for increased humanitarian aid to be able to enter the besieged enclave.

• In southern and central Gaza, Israeli bombardment has killed dozens of Palestinians. More than a dozen were killed in Israel's targeting of a residential area in Rafah, near Egypt's border. And on Monday morning, more than 30 bodies of Palestinians killed in Israeli bombing of the Nuseirat and Bureij refugee camps were brought to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

• The rights group Democracy for the Arab World Now is calling on the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco to withdraw from their normalisation agreements with Israel.

• A 21-year-old Palestinian man was shot dead by Israeli forces in Hebron.
