Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

It's just after 7:45 in Palestine and Israel. Here are the latest updates from Israel's ongoing war on Gaza now in its 241th day.

  • Israeli air strikes overnight killed 22 Palestinians, including at least nine children, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa. The strikes were reported in the Nuseirat and Bureij refugee camps in central Gaza, Khan Younis and Rafah. 

  • Another suspected Israeli raid killed 17 people in the countryside of Syria's Aleppo, according to the Syrian Observatory For Human Rights. The war monitor said 12 of those killed were members of Syrian and foreign pro-Iran armed groups.  

  • The Palestinian civil defence said its emergency-and-rescue teams have recovered 7o dead Palestinians from the Jabalia refugee camp following a deadly 20-day Israeli assault. It added that many more are dead and buried under rubble but they don't have the resources to recover them. 

  • US Secretary of State Antony Blinken held separate phone calls with Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and war cabinet minister Benny Gantz to discuss the proposed ceasefire deal in Gaza, the State Department said on Sunday, according to Reuters.
