This is an entry from: Israel-Palestine live: Week three ends with over 7,000 Palestinians killed

Morning recap: A deadly night for Palestinians

23 October 2023 07:03 BST

Good morning MEE readers. Monday morning saw some of the most intense and deadly Israeli bombings of Gaza since the latest conflict between Israel and armed Palestinian groups began on 7 October.

So far, at least 400 Palestinians have been killed over the past 24 hours, and that number has the potential to rise as medical teams and rescue workers assess the full damage of the air strikes last night.

Here is what you may have missed over the past few hours:

  • One Israeli air strike on the Jabalia refugee camp killed around 30 Palestinians.

  • Dozens of Palestinians have been arrested across the occupied West Bank as Israeli forces launched a number of raids near Ramallah, Hebron, and Jericho.

  • Western leaders, including US President Joe Biden, released a statement in which they reaffirmed Israel's right to defend itself before going on to urge for the protection of civilians.

  • Gaza's hospitals are almost out of anaesthesia, in addition to fuel and other other necessary supplies.

  • Israeli air strikes have also hit near two hospitals: al-Shifa and al-Quds.
