Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

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

  • Reports indicate one Israeli soldier has been killed and at least 11 seriously wounded. An additional four Israeli soldiers, believed to be either captured by Palestinian fighters or killed, remain missing. 

  • At least 18 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip since dawn on Saturday.

  • The death toll from starvation and malnutrition in the besieged enclave rose to 322, according to the latest figures. 

  • Ireland's foreign minister has called on the European Union to take immediate and concrete measures against Israel and push for a ceasefire and an end to the famine in Gaza. 

  • Army raids continue across the West Bank, as settlers storm several towns and vandalise Palestinian property.
