Good morning Middle East Eye readers, 

Here are the latest updates from the Israeli war on Gaza, now in its 333rd day: 

  • Israel's assault on the occupied West Bank has entered its eighth day, with ongoing raids in Jenin, Tulkarm and Nablus. At least 33 Palestinians have been killed so far, including a girl shot dead by Israeli forces on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian health ministry. 

  • The Egyptian foreign ministry said it rejects the latest statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, adding they "fuel tension in the region" and holding him responsible for their consequences. 

  • The United States Justice Department announced criminal charges on Tuesday against six leaders of Hamas, including three deceased and three living, over their role in the 7 October attacks in southern Israel. 

  • Norway's $1.7 trillion wealth fund may have to divest companies that aid Israel in the war on Gaza and the occupied territories, according to Reuters.
