Good evening, Middle East Eye readers.

Here are the day's key developments:

• Gaza's health ministry said that 47 people had been killed in Israeli attacks on the enclave in the past 24 hours, bringing the total to 37,598 killed since 7 October. Additionally, 86,032 have been wounded since the start of the war.
• Eight Palestinians were killed on Sunday in an Israeli air strike on a training college near Gaza City being used to distribute aid, Palestinian witnesses said, as Israeli tanks pushed further into the southern city of Rafah.
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that the phase of intense fighting against Hamas was coming to an end but that the war would not end until the Islamist group no longer controls the Gaza Strip.
• Hezbollah said in a statement that it launched a drone attack on Israeli soldiers and officers in Ayelet Hashahar, a kibbutz about 10km inside Israel's border with Lebanon.
