Morning update

Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are some of the the latest updates on Israel’s war on Gaza and the occupied West Bank:

  • At least 64 Palestinians slaughtered on the first day of Eid al-Fitr, a day meant for celebration after Ramadan. Children in festive clothes were among the dead.

  • Hamas fires back, accusing Israel of "fascism" and a complete moral collapse: "This bloodshed exposes their lies about humanity."

  • Red Crescent recovers 14 murdered paramedics—killed by Israeli strikes last week. They’re calling it a war crime.

  • Netanyahu’s ultimatum: Hamas must disarm, exile its leaders, and hand Gaza’s security to Israel for any ceasefire.
