Morning update

Good morning Middle East Eye readers, 

Here are some key developments since last night:

• Detained pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil missed the birth of his first child on Monday after US authorities refused a request for temporary release, his wife said.

• Al Jazeera Arabic reported that Israeli forces have killed at least 14 people in attacks on Khan Younis and Gaza City since the early hours of this morning.

• Israel’s former ambassador to Italy, Dror Eydar, has called on the Israeli government not to attend the pontiff’s funeral, accusing the late Pope Francis of antisemitism.

• Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV reported several US air strikes across Yemen in recent hours.

• The Israeli military shot a 16-year-old Palestinian boy in the abdomen during a raid on the town of Idhna and demolished the house of a Palestinian man in Jerusalem involved in a car-ramming attack last July, as it continued raids across the occupied West Bank.
