Live Blog Update| Gaza Under Attack

Evening recap

Good evening Middle East Eye readers, 

The UN General Assembly on Wednesday overwhelmingly adopted a resolution calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza, in a symbolic rebuke to the US and Israel. 

Gaza continued to suffer from Israeli strikes, with scores of Palestinians killed, including by an Israeli attack targeting the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. 

Israeli troops ceded the first Lebanese village back to the Lebanese army as part of a US-brokered ceasefire, but Israel continued to bomb Lebanon. The latter's health ministry said Israeli strikes on the south killed four people. 

Here is what else you missed: 

  • Ireland’s Minister for Foreign Affairs said his country would intervene in South Africa’s International Court of Justice (ICC) case against Israel alleging genocide in Gaza
  • A shooting in Jerusalem injured several people 
  • At least seven people were killed by Israeli strikes on the southern Gaza city of Rafah
