Live blog update| Israel's war on Gaza

Morning update

Good morning, Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates:

  • At least 50 people were injured when a truck or bus rammed into a bus stop in Ramat Hasharon, central Israel, in a suspected 'terrorist attack'. A drone attack in Karmiel in the north is also reported to have wounded two people.

  • An Israeli air strike on Beit Lahia in Gaza’s besieged north killed at least 45 people on Saturday, including several entire families. Emergency crews and hospitals in the area are almost entirely non-functional.

  • The son of the director of northern Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital was killed in the latest Israeli attack on the facility, health officials reported.

  • Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, warned: “The entire population of Gaza is at risk of dying in a genocide that has been announced and executed under our watch.”

  • Iran has called for an emergency UN Security Council meeting on Israel's attacks on the country.
