Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are some of the latest updates from Israel’s war on Gaza:

  • Israeli air strikes have killed at least 23 Palestinians across Gaza since early Tuesday, Al Jazeera reported. In separate incidents, the outlet cited medical sources saying three were killed in Jabalia camp and six in Gaza City’s Tuffah neighbourhood. Meanwhile, Wafa reported that Israeli forces killed a Palestinian sheltering in a tent near Gaza City.

  • Israeli forces have shot a Palestinian youth at the Qalandiya checkpoint, located north of occupied East Jerusalem, amid raids across the occupied West Bank.

  • The New York Times reported that 14 of the 15 paramedics and rescue workers killed in Gaza last month were "executed" by Israeli forces - each shot in the head or chest.

  • WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has once again called for the protection of health workers and demanded immediate humanitarian access to deliver medical supplies into and across Gaza.

  • Jordan’s prime minister and minister of defence, Jafar Hassan, discussed “the situation in Gaza and the West Bank” with Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the US State Department in Washington.
