A new Israeli military assault on eastern Khan Younis in southern Gaza has killed at least 70 Palestinians and injured more than 200, according to health officials in Gaza.

    The attack by tanks, aircraft and artillery came just minutes after the Israeli military ordered the evacuation of areas in Khan Younis that the Palestinian Civil Defence says affects more than 400,000 people.

    UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini has called for accountability after Israel’s military attacked a “clearly marked” UN convoy travelling to Gaza City in “coordination” with Israeli authorities.

    At least 39,006 people have been killed and 89,818 injured in Israel’s war on Gaza. The death toll in Israel from Hamas-led attacks on October 7 is estimated at 1,139, with dozens of people still held captive in Gaza.

    Israeli military carries out arrests in occupied West Bank

    The Israeli military has carried out arrests and raids in the occupied West Bank in recent hours, according to local media.

    Israeli forces arrested a Palestinian man from the town of Ezbet Shufa, south of Tulkarem, while a 15-year-old has been arrested in the Ras al-Amoud neighbourhood in the town of Silwan in occupied East Jerusalem.

    The Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, has also said that it targeted an Israeli bulldozer with explosives in the al-Ghanim neighbourhood of the Tulkarem refugee camp.

    Israeli forces are destroying homes, buildings and infrastructure in the area.

    Earlier, we reported that a Palestinian man was in critical condition after Israeli forces shot him three times during a raid on the Tulkarem camp.

    Eight killed following Israeli strike on home in Gaza City

    We reported earlier that the Israeli military had bombed the al-Daya family home in the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City.

    Local media is now reporting that at least eight people have been killed in that attack, including two children.

    We also reported that at least four people had been killed following a separate strike on the al-Jamasi family home in the al-Sahaba area of Gaza City.

    We will bring you updates on these attacks when we have them.
