Live Blog Update| Israel's genocide in Gaza

Morning update

Good morning Middle East Eye readers.

Here are the latest updates:

  • Israeli bombardment is pummelling areas inside the so-called "Yellow Line" in Gaza, including air strikes on Khan Younis and Gaza City. Three Palestinians have been killed in Khan Younis so far.

  • Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue to conduct deadly raids and demolitions across the occupied West Bank, with a young Palestinian man killed by Israeli fire during a raid on the Askar refugee camp east of Nablus. In the northern Jordan Valley, Israeli military bulldozers levelled a residential structure and two livestock sheds in al-Maleh area.

  • A strict curfew imposed by the Israeli military on Palestinian residents of the Old City of Hebron has entered a second day. All checkpoints to the area are shut, barring residents from returning home. Military units are tightly controlling the movements of Palestinians across the city.

  • This was to allow for illegal Israeli settlers to mark a Jewish holiday, which they did by storming the Ibrahimi Mosque and parading through the streets under military escort.
