Good morning Middle East Eye readers, 

Here are the latest updates from the Israeli war on Gaza, now in its 605th day: 

  • Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians awaiting aid in Rafah’s Muwasi area on Tuesday, killing at least 23 and wounding dozens.

  • Local activists call it “another aid massacre”, marking one of the deadliest incidents since aid distribution began in southern Gaza.

  • The Israeli military confirmed three soldiers died in an explosion in Jabalya, northern Gaza, with two others moderately wounded.

  • US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan discussed Gaza, Syria, and Ukraine talks on Monday, the State Department said.

  • Israel dismisses UN chief Antonio Guterres’ call for an inquiry into Gaza aid violence as a “disgrace”.

  • Israeli troops raided the Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahia on Monday after staff and 55 civilians, including critically ill patients, were forced to evacuate.

  • Witnesses say the hospital faced severe shortages, with no food or water for nearly 10 days, amid fears of bombing.
