Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates from the Israeli war on Gaza, now in its 281st day: 

  • At least five Palestinians, including two children, have been killed in Israeli air strikes in Khan Younis and Deir el- Balah, where the Israeli military has instructed people to evacuate.

  • The Israeli military has alleged, without providing evidence, that one of the four aid workers it killed in a strike on Khan Younis on Friday was a member of Hamas's security forces.

  • According to the Gaza government office, over 70,000 people in Gaza are infected with hepatitis.

  • According to Israeli media, an Israeli security official has said that a hostage deal could be imminent, but that Netanyahu's insistence on non-negotiable conditions are stalling negotiations. Netanyahu's office rejected the claim, claiming that Hamas was "changing the plan".
