Morning update

Good morning, Middle East Eye readers,
Here are the latest updates from Israel's war on Gaza:
-
Israeli forces have reportedly attacked tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in al-Mawasi, resulting in at least 11 fatalities and multiple injuries, according to local media sources.
-
Gaza’s population has declined by 6 percent since the onset of the war with Israel nearly 15 months ago. Approximately 100,000 Palestinians have left the enclave, while over 55,000 are believed to have been killed, as per data from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS).
-
Israeli settlers, who entered the town of Kifl Haris to conduct religious rituals at Islamic shrines, have also been accused of attacking homes and vehicles in the area, the Wafa news agency has reported.
-
In a separate incident, the Israeli military stated that a suspect had been “neutralised” following a car attack targeting Israeli forces in the West Bank town of Deir Qaddis, near Ramallah. A female soldier sustained minor injuries in what the military has described as a “car bomb attack”.
-
Israeli forces have also raided the West Bank town of Bal’a, east of Tulkarm, and demolished the home of a Palestinian man accused of attacking Israeli soldiers, according to the Palestinian Information Center.
-
Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for Palestinians, has urged the Palestinian Authority to reverse its decision to ban Al Jazeera’s broadcasts in the West Bank, asserting that “journalism is not a crime”.
-
Meanwhile, the Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) reports that Israeli soldiers have set fire to several houses in the town of Aitaroun, located in the Bint Jbeil district, in what has been described as an ongoing violation of a truce established at the end of November.
