Morning update

Good morning Middle East Eye readers, 

Here are some of the latest key developments from Gaza and the region since last night:

• Israeli forces killed and wounded several people in the az-Zanna area of southern Gaza, according to Palestinian media. Al Jazeera Arabic reported that Israeli strikes killed four in the town of Bani Suheila in southern Gaza and killed at least two displaced people who took shelter in a tent in the so-called humanitarian zone of al-Mawasi.

• Hundreds of Palestinians who have been displaced by Israel’s military siege of the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank are sheltering at the Arab American University campus in the city of Jenin, the AFP news agency reported.

• Jonathan Whittall, who heads the UN’s humanitarian agency in Gaza, has called for accountability after an Israeli probe claimed that there was “no evidence to support claims of execution” in the killings of Palestinian paramedics last month. 

• The New York Times reported that the US defence chief, Pete Hegseth, shared information about Washington’s next air strikes in Yemen in a group chat including his wife, brother and lawyer, two weeks after he texted the highly sensitive war plans to a group chat that included The Atlantic editor-in-chief. Pentagon dismissed the claims, saying no sensitive information was shared in the chat.
