Evening recap

Good evening, Middle East Eye readers.

Our live coverage of Israel's assault on Gaza will shortly be closing for the evening.

Here are the day's main developments:

• Gaza's health ministry said that 101 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in the past 24 hours, bringing the total to 37,551 people killed in the enclave since 7 October. Additionally, 85,911 people have been wounded since the war began.
• Two separate Israeli attacks on Gaza killed at least 42 Palestinians on Saturday, according to the Gaza government's media office and the Civil Defence. Hamas released a statement, saying that Israel "continues its brutal targeting of defenceless civilians in Gaza and carries out new massacres in the Shati Camp, Mawasi and Rafah".
• EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell has called for an independent investigation into a deadly shelling that hit an office of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Gaza.
• Four children have died of malnutrition in a single week in northern Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital, according to director Hussam Abu Safia.
• Footage shared online showed Israeli forces tying a wounded Palestinian to the bonnet of an armoured vehicle in Jenin, occupied West Bank, in what seemed to be a case of using him as a human shield.
• Lebanese media report that a drone strike hit a car in the town of Khiara, West Beqaa, some 40km from the border with Israel. The Israeli army said in a statement that it had killed a prominent Hamas and al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya operative in the strike.
• The Qatari prime minister on Saturday said that ceasefire talks were still ongoing, and that his country "continues its efforts, in cooperation with regional and international partners, to end the war in Gaza and prevent the spread of violence".
• According to CNN, the US reassured Israel it would back its ally should an all-out war break out with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
