Morning update

Good morning, Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates on Israel’s war on Gaza and the occupied West Bank:

- A child was killed and other injured in an Israeli air strike that targeted al-Karama area of Gaza City. Another separate attack on a house in the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City killed at least one Palestinian, and wounded others,

- A Palestinian man was killed by Israeli gunfire as Israeli forces stormed al-Arab neighbourhood in the occupied West Bank city of Jericho, while another two young Palestinians were arrested in Askar al-Jadid refugee camp. Meanwhile,  settlers set fire to land in the town of Haris in Salfit.

- The Israeli army said it intercepted "one missile launched from Yemen” as rocket sirens were heard in several areas of Israel, and that an air attack alert that was activated near Gaza after the missile interception was a false alarm.

- The UN’s Population Fund (Unfpa) said pregnant women, who need medical treatment, in the occupied West Bank are endangered by Israel army travel restrictions.

- The UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) said that the population of Gaza is being “treated like pinballs” who have been continuously forced to “flee in search of safety that doesn’t exist”.

- A US source familiar with the Steve Witkoff negotiations told Al Jazeera that Hamas that has not agreed to a ceasefire proposal and that its claims are “inaccurate”.
