      Fifteen people were killed in an Israeli strike on a home in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, according to the Wafa news agency.

      A Palestinian prisoner becomes the seventh to die in an Israeli jail since October 7; Palestinian groups slam the death as an “assassination”.

      The US rejects forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza in a statement to Al Jazeera, as Israeli officials continue to reject the establishment of a Palestinian state.

      At least 21,978 people have been killed and 57,697 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139.

      Overnight raids reported across the occupied West Bank; clashes between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers in the city of Qalqilya.

      Video footage captures Israeli soldiers kicking a wounded Palestinian man in the head while on the ground in Qalqilya; Palestinian medical personnel say they were targeted by Israeli forces when trying to reach injured.

      Israeli national security adviser says country “will not boycott” proceedings launched by South Africa at the International Court of Justice.

   Gaza Health Ministry lists names for medical evacuation

    The Gaza Ministry of Health has published the names of 19 people who have been approved for medical evacuation from Gaza through the Rafah Crossing with Egypt today.

    The group of 19 patients – including a two-week-old baby – have severe injuries and illnesses, including cancer.

    In late December, the UN said that the number of wounded Palestinians and other medical cases evacuated from the besieged Palestinian territory since 7 October represented just 1 percent of the total number of people reported injured amid Israel’s war on Gaza.
