      Location of 600 patients, health workers from Gaza’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital “unknown”, says WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, after hospital director says they were forced to leave.

      “We shall continue,” says Al Jazeera’s Wael Dahdouh after an Israeli air strike killed his son Hamza and journalist Mustafa Thuraya.

      Speaking from Doha, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says he will raise with Israel the “need to do everything possible” to increase the flow of aid to Gaza.

      At least 22,835 people have been killed – including 9,600 children – in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. About 1,139 people were killed in Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel.

    It’s just before 7am (05:00 GMT) in the occupied Palestinian territories and Israel.

    Here are some of the main developments overnight:

      A man has been shot dead and a woman injured near Ramallah in an incident the Israeli military has described as a “terrorist attack”.

      Israeli forces conduct raids and establish checkpoints across Ramallah and el-Bireh following the incident, with a doctor and a nurse arrested.

      An Israeli air attack has killed eight and injured dozens in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza.

      The location of hundreds of patients and health workers from Gaza’s Al-Aqsa Hospital is “not currently known”, says WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

      US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will visit the UAE and Saudi Arabia today after stopping in Greece, Turkey, Jordan and Qatar over the weekend.

    UNGA to meet after US veto

    The UN General Assembly (UNGA) will meet on Tuesday to discuss the US vetoing an amendment to a UN Security Council (UNSC) resolution on December 22.

    The amendment, proposed by Russia, would have added a clause calling for “an urgent suspension of hostilities” to a humanitarian resolution that the 15-member council adopted later that day.

    The 193-member UNGA can convene a formal meeting within 10 working days of a veto being cast by a permanent member of the UNSC.

    Israeli raids continue across the West Bank

    Our Al Jazeera Arabic colleagues and Palestinian media are reporting ongoing Israeli raids across the occupied West Bank tonight in the following locations:

      The Dheisheh camp in Bethlehem

      Qabalan, south of the city of Nablus

      The towns of Dura and Yatta south of Hebron

      The al-Aroub camp, north of Hebron

    Earlier, we reported that at least two Palestinian medical workers were arrested in raids across the neighbouring cities of Ramallah and el-Bireh after a 33-year-old man was shot dead in his car. The Israeli military has described the incident, in which a woman was also injured, as a terrorist attack.
