Live: Israel kills 100 Palestinians in Gaza since dawn on Tuesday

Hamas fighters killed five Israeli soldiers and wounded at least 14 others on Monday in an ambush in Beit Hanoun, near the boundary with Israel in the northern Gaza Strip.

The attack occurred in an area that Israeli forces had forcibly emptied of Palestinian residents and designated a "buffer zone", where military operations have continued for months.

According to the Israeli military, an initial investigation found that the soldiers were targeted with roadside explosive devices during ground operations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who received news of the attack while visiting Washington, mourned the troops.

“On this difficult morning, the entire People of Israel bows its head in mourning for the fall of our heroic fighters, who risked their lives in the battle to defeat Hamas and free all our hostages,” he said in a statement.

The army said Abu Ayadeh led an attack on a petrol station in the Magen Kibbutz in southern Israel on 7 October, and had led multiple attacks on Israeli forces in Gaza since then.

The armed wing of Hamas has claimed a missile attack on an Israeli D9 military bulldozer with a “Yassin 105,” east of the Shujayea neighbourhood in Gaza City.

“The dock workers of Piraeus will not be complicit. We will not unload military steel from the Ever Golden - no to Greece’s involvement - freedom for Palestine,” the workers said.

According to the ship and container tracking site Vessel Finder, the Ever Golden, which is Japanese-owned and sails under the flag of Panama, was sailing off the coast of West Africa on Tuesday morning.

It is expected to reach Piraeus on 14 July. Once it arrives there, its cargo is intended to be moved to another container ship, the Folk Dammam, and taken on to Israel.
