Good morning, Middle East Eye readers,

Here are some of the latest updates on Israel's war on Gaza:

  • Israeli airstrikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza killed two Palestinians, pushing Monday’s death toll in the Strip to at least 28.

  • In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces bombed the town of Tammun, killing one person during a manhunt for suspects linked to a shooting that killed three Israelis near the illegal Kedumim settlement.

  • Tom Fletcher, the UN relief chief, warned that humanitarian efforts in Gaza have reached a "breaking point," citing an Israeli gun attack on a clearly marked WFP convoy on Sunday as part of a wider assault on aid workers.

  • Palestinian homes and vehicles in at least six villages were torched by Israeli settlers overnight in what activists described as "retaliatory terror" following the Kedumim attack.

  • The Palestinian Authority's security forces also intensified their crackdown, raiding the town of Attil and killing three resistance fighters, according to Al Jazeera Arabic.

  • Israel’s military is facing fresh criticism from rights groups for withholding information on Dr Hussam Abu Safia, the detained director of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital, and denying his legal team access.
