Overview

  • The Gaza Health Ministry reported 77 people killed in the past 24 hours, including two struck while waiting to receive aid.
  • Medical sources cited by Al Jazeera said 45 bodies were recovered after air raids, and Gaza’s civil defense said artillery shelled two humanitarian centers, killing at least 13.
  • Defence Minister Israel Katz warned anyone remaining in Gaza City would be treated as terrorists, as the IDF deployed along the Netzarim corridor to tighten the city’s closure.
  • The ICRC suspended operations in Gaza City because of intensifying hostilities, and Doctors Without Borders said occupational therapist Omar Hayek was killed in Deir al-Balah, its 14th staffer lost in Gaza.
  • Israel intercepted most vessels in a flotilla bound for Gaza and said activists were safe and headed for deportation procedures, while Hamas continued to weigh the US president’s ceasefire proposal.
