Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest developments from Israel's war on Gaza:

  • The Palestinian health ministry said three people were killed and seven others were injured by Israeli settlers who stormed the town of Kafr Malik near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank and set homes and cars on fire on Wednesday.

  • Another group of Israeli settlers have set fire to Palestinian homes and vehicles in the Christian town of Taybeh, east of Ramallah, according to a Palestinian activist in the occupied West Bank, Ihab Hassan.

  • Fourteen people have been killed in Israeli attacks this morning across Gaza, Al Jazeera Arabic reported citing sources in the enclave.

  • US President Donald Trump weighed in on ally Benjamin Netanyahu's long-running corruption trial Wednesday, urging for Israel's "Great War Time Prime Minister" to be exonerated after the conflict with Iran.

  • The Israeli military has arrested at least 14 Palestinians, including journalist Mujahid Tabanj, in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, the Palestinian Information Centre reported.

  • Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also told British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the Nato summit in The Hague that the tension between Israel, Iran and the US "must not leave the humanitarian crisis in Gaza - which has reached a disastrous level - forgotten".
