Israel’s war on Gaza updates: War cabinet mulls truce proposed in Paris

This live page is now closed. Follow along with our ongoing coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza here.

We will be closing the live blog soon. Here’s a recap of the day’s main events.

• An Israeli attack at the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City has resulted in several deaths and injuries.
• The Palestinian legal rights organisation Al-Haq has denounced the killing of Palestinian human rights lawyer Dana Yaghy along with 40 members of her family, including 10 children in Deir el-Balah, Gaza.
• Netanyahu has convened the Israeli war cabinet to “discuss the next steps” in negotiations for the “release of our hostages” and the “elimination” of Hamas in Rafah.
• Hamas has warned Israel about its plans to restrict access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
• EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has called Israeli plans to build 3,000 new units in the occupied West Bank “inflammatory and dangerous”.

Al Jazeera’s Hamadah Salhut has the latest on the mass demonstrations taking place on the streets of Tel Aviv:

Earlier, the Israeli army attacked Beit Lahiya in the far north of the Gaza Strip.

A video posted to Instagram by Palestinian journalist Abdul Qader Sabah shows the immediate aftermath of that attack. It is unclear at this time whether there were any deaths or injuries as a result.

This video has been verified by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking unit.

Israeli media outlet Ynet is reporting that, at the end of a telephone consultation, a team of Israeli negotiators will be sent to Doha in the coming days to continue talks over a deal to reach a truce in the Gaza war and secure the release of Israeli captives held in Gaza.

The colourful kites fluttering in the skies of Rafah belie the reality they soar over: ragged tents packed tightly together and lines of people trying to find food, water and firewood.

Running in and out of it all are children, brief smiles illuminating their exhausted faces as they look up at their flying miracles.

That such a simple toy can bring them moments of joy is in and of itself a miracle – and proof of the undefeatable spirit of children who manage this in the midst of rubble, death, displacement, hunger and freezing cold as Israel’s brutal war on Gaza nears five months.

The rally in the German capital saw hundreds of protesters calling for an immediate halt to the ongoing war in Gaza.

Demonstrators marched in the streets brandishing banners carrying messages like “Freedom for Palestine” and “Stop the Genocide”.

They join protesters around the world today in countries such as Italy, Holland and the UK.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society says its ambulance crews have transported two injured Palestinians, who arrived at their Deir el-Balah ambulance centre, to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital after they were injured by Israeli gunfire in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis.

The aid that is coming in is very limited for the large number of people here in southern Gaza.

People here are lining up for long hours on a daily basis just to have a very small parcel of food and a bottle of water.

Sometimes, adults are forgoing meals so their children will have sufficient food to eat.

In the north, the situation is more chaotic because people there have not received many humanitarian supplies since the beginning of this conflict.

The legal rights organisation denounces the killing of Dana Yaghy with 40 members of her family in the besieged Gaza Strip.

“We extend our deepest condolences to her remaining family and our dear colleagues at the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights – PCHR,” the organisation says in a statement.

Yaghy was killed in an Israeli bombing along with 40 members of her family, including 10 children in Deir el-Balah.

The 27-year-old was killed a few days after her colleague Nour Abu Al-Nour, “both fantastic young lawyers”, the organisation says.

A group of Israeli settlers have raided the town of Huwara in the occupied West Bank, Wafa news agency is reporting.

According to local sources, the settlers targeted a local swimming pool, shielded by Israeli forces, who responded by discharging live ammunition towards residences in the town, Wafa added.

No injuries were reported, the agency said.

Earlier, we reported that more than 20 rockets were fired from southern Lebanon towards the Kiryat Shmona in Israel.

Israeli Army Radio has posted a video to its X account showing the incoming rockets, some of them intercepted by Israeli missile defence.

The Palestine Red Crescent says its ambulance teams recovered three injured Palestinians, following an Israeli air raid last night targeting an agriculture land in the city of Deir el-Balah.

The central Gaza city has come under intense attacks by Israeli forces in the past two days with dozens of people killed and many more injured.
