Morning update

Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are some of the latest overnight developments on Israel's war on Gaza:

• UN chief Antonio Guterres described Gaza as “a killing field” as Israeli bombardment continues to wipe out Palestinian families, flattening homes, and leaving children buried in rubble.

• Israeli forces storm Unrwa schools in occupied East Jerusalem. They’ve ordered six facilities shut—another blow to Palestinians already reeling from relentless attacks.

• Journalist Ahmed Mansour succumbs to burns after Monday’s Israeli strike on a media tent near Nasser Hospital. He’s the third confirmed fatality from that attack. 

• Israel bombs Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley and Baalbek, in violation of a ceasefire agreement while claiming that it’s hitting Hezbollah targets.

• Netanyahu blocked from sacking security chief—for now. Israel’s top court says the PM must wait at least 10 days before trying to oust Ronen Bar.

• US air strikes slaughter Yemeni civilians. Six dead, including three children and two women, after American bombs strike an apartment building.
