Good morning Middle East Eye reader, 

Here are the latest updates from the Israeli war on Gaza, now in its 301st day:

• The Palestinian death toll since 7 October stands at 39,480, with more than 91,128 wounded and an estimated 10,000 missing, likely dead and buried under rubble

• Israel has carried out 3,457 "massacres" since the start of its war on Gaza in October of last year, according to a report published on Thursday by Gaza's government media office

• At least 15 Palestinians have been killed and 40 wounded by an Israeli strike on a school sheltering dozens of displaced families in the Gaza City neighbourhood of Shujayea

• Turkish President Erdogan has told US President Biden that Israel does not want a ceasefire in Gaza and Haniyeh’s killing “dealt a heavy blow” to peace efforts
