Morning recap: Day 19

Good morning MEE readers.

The number of Palestinians killed from Israel's air strikes on Gaza over the past 24 hours is still unclear, as at the time of writing this, more news is coming out regarding the death tolls from different bombings.

Israel's continued bombardment and destruction are continuing to be met with opposition from different corners of the world. On Tuesday night, more than 100 experts on Middle East policy signed an open letter addressed to western countries, urging an immediate ceasefire to the conflict.

Here's what you may have missed over the past few hours:

• A new visual investigation from The New York Times has cast doubt on a highly publicised piece of evidence cited by Israeli officials to claim that it was a fallen Palestinian rocket that caused the explosion at al-Ahli Arab Hospital.

• More than 100 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank since 7 October, and dozens more have been arrested in nightly raids.

• Israel launched an air strike on Jenin again on Wednesday morning, killing several Palestinians.
