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:

  • Injuries among Palestinians were reported on Monday morning  as Israeli airstrikes targeted a tent sheltering displaced people in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

  • An Israeli bombing hit two schools sheltering displaced people overnight into Monday; one of them is the Yaffa School, in the al-Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City, and the other is located in al-Zaytoun neighbourhood eastern Gaza City.

  • Saraya al-Quds, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, published footage showing its fighters targeting an Israeli supply line and Israeli soldiers' positions in the Netzarim axis in the Gaza Strip.

  • Israeli forces stormed the village of Marka, southwest of Jenin, as well as al-Irsal neighborhood in Ramallah, located in the occupied West Bank.

  • The Nasser Medical Complex located in the southern city of Khan Yunis said numbers of meningitis cases among children have reached a new record of 35 confirmed cases.

  • The Israeli army confirmed on Monday that dozens of Israeli settlers held ‘violent’ protests at a military base in the central West Bank against the shooting of a teenager over the weekend. The military is investigating if the 14-year-old boy was shot by an Israeli soldier, who fired shots into the air in an altercation with settlers,  thinking they were Palestinians.

  • The Times of Israel quoted Likud lawmakers as saying that the likelihood of the Knesset intervening to end Netanyahu's trial early is extremely slim. But a source told the newspaper that 'members of the ruling coalition discussed linking an agreement to end the Gaza war to a halt to Netanyahu's trial.'
