Good morning Middle East Eye readers, 

Here are the latest updates from the Israeli war on Gaza, now in its 606th day: 

  • The UN Security Council will vote Wednesday on a resolution calling for a ceasefire and unrestricted humanitarian access in Gaza, a measure expected to fail due to a US veto.

  • Aid centres run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a US and Israel-backed agency, will temporarily close on Wednesday for renovation, it said after Israel killed at least 27 Palestinians at the GHF aid site on Tuesday.

  • Syrian state news agency and security sources reported a series of Israeli strikes, the first major ones in nearly a month, targeting several sites in the Damascus countryside, Quneitra and Daraa.  Israel said a pair of rockets were fired at its side of the Golan Heights from southern Syria and blamed the Syrian government for the attack.

  • The Syrian foreign ministry said that it “has not and will not pose a threat to any party in the region” and is working to rein in armed, non-state actors in southern Syria as the government condemned the Israeli attack, saying it resulted in “heavy human and material losses” and violated Syria’s sovereignty.

  •  The Israeli military said it intercepted a missile from Yemen.

  • The Israeli military announced that one reservist was killed in northern Gaza on Tuesday, and that another was seriously wounded in the same incident.
