Morning update

Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates on Israel's war on Gaza and developments in the occupied West Bank:

- Two children were killed and others wounded in an Israeli bombing of a family house in the Zeitoun neighbourhood in Gaza City in the early hours of Sunday

- At least five Palestinians, including a child and two women, were killed by Israeli drone fire that targeted a tent sheltering displaced people west of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip

- Israeli troops are targeting Jabalia al-Balad, north of Gaza, with heavy artillery  and gunfire, and continue to destroy residential areas east of Jabalia

- The Israeli army claims the killing of Hakam al-Issa, whom it described as one of the founders of Hamas and the last senior leader of the movement in Gaza, in a strike that targeted the Sabra neighborhood in Gaza City Saturday night

- US President Donald Trump said that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is about to negotiate a deal with Hamas that includes the return of the captives. He added that Netanyahu's trial hinders his ability to negotiate with both Iran and Hamas, and that military aid to Israel could be suspended if Netanyahu's trial, which he is facing, is not cancelled

-  The Palestinian Red Crescent said that a young man was injured by Israeli forces' bullets near the Meitar crossing in the city of Hebron, south of the occupied West Bank

- Israeli forces have stormed the town of Beitunia, west of Ramallah, as well as the  old Askar camp, east of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.
