Good morning Middle East Eye readers, 

It's just after 11:30am in Palestine and Israel. Here are the latest developments from Israel's war on Gaza, which is now in its eighth month.

  • Relentless Israeli shelling continued on Sunday, killing at least 11 Palestinians across Rafah in the early hours, including children, according to media reports. 

  • Overnight, Israeli forces raided Jenin and Nablus in the occupied West Bank, with reports of armed clashes heard in both cities. 

  • The head of the Egyptian Red Crescent Society in North Sinai told Reuters that about 200 aid trucks, including four fuel trucks, are expected to enter Gaza today through the Karem Shalom crossing between Israel and Gaza, as the vital Rafah crossing remains closed since Israel seized it earlier this month. 

  • Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz said he submitted a proposal to establish a state commission of inquiry into the Hamas-led attack on 7 October and the subsequent war in Gaza, a move that is likely to increase tensions between the minister and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
