Morning update

Good morning, Middle East Eye readers.

Here are the latest updates:

  • Twenty-one Palestinians have been killed and dozens more injured in an Israeli attack on a mosque sheltering displaced people near al-Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza.

  • Over 50 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since Saturday.

  • Overnight strikes also targeted Jabalia, Rafah and al-Zawaida, killing six Palestinians, according to Wafa news agency.

  • Israeli forces issued new evacuation orders for large areas of northern Gaza, instructing Palestinians to flee to the "humanitarian zone" in al-Mawasi. Shortly after, the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (Cogat) announced the "expansion" of the safety zone.

  • Israeli forces launched a new incursion into eastern Jabalia, targeting homes with artillery shells and surrounding the refugee camp, trapping families inside.

  • A new wave of Israeli air raids pummelled Beirut's southern suburbs and the Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport.
