Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

It's just after 7:30 in Palestine and Israel. Here are the latest updates from Israel's ongoing war on Gaza now on its 242nd day:

  • Israeli fighter jets bombed Gaza City on Tuesday morning, killing at least three Palestinians and wounding others, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa. Air strikes in Bureij refugee camps in central Gaza killed three more people.

  • In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces shot and killed two Palestinians inside their car near a checkpoint west of Tulkarm. 

  • The United States said it wants the United Nations Security Council to adopt a resolution backing the proposal outlined by President Joe Biden to end the fighting in Gaza through a ceasefire and a prisoner swap deal, according to Reuters.

  • A massive fire set off by Hezbollah rockets in northern Israel has been brought under control after nine hours of efforts by firefighters overnight, according to Israeli media.
