Live blog update| Israel's war on Gaza

Morning recap

Good morning Middle East Eye readers, 

Here are the latest updates from the Israeli war on Gaza and Lebanon, now in its 388th day:

  • Israeli strikes continued across Gaza on Monday morning, killing at least five Palestinians in separate attacks on Gaza City, the Nuseirat refugee camp and Rafah, according to Arabic media.

  • The bombardment comes as the assault on north Gaza continues for a fourth week, where Israeli forces are besieging 100,000 Palestinians, relentlessly bombing them, starving them and denying them access to health care. 

  • In Lebanon, the death toll from an Israeli strike on an ambulance centre on Sunday has risen to seven, according to the Lebanese health ministry. Israeli forces have killed a total of 168 paramedics in Lebanon since the start of the war, the ministry added. 

  • US and Israeli spy chiefs are meeting Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani in Doha to discuss a ceasefire in Gaza. This comes after Egypt proposed a two-day truce in hopes that it would lead to a full ceasefire.
