Israel acknowledged responsibility for a series of air strikes on the densely populated Jabalia refugee camp near Gaza City on October 31 that killed around 50 Palestinians and injuring many. Israel however, claimed that it targeted a high ranking senior Hamas leader and a command centre set up in civilian houses and an underground tunnel network.

According to Al Jazeera, the bombing has sparked outrage across the Arab world and has been condemned by humanitarian organisations.

Israel’s military also stated that it made gains in its ongoing ground operations in Gaza, including killing 50 fighters and capturing what it described as a Hamas stronghold in the north.

The US has said 66 aid trucks crossed into Gaza in the last day, the most since deliveries from the Rafah crossing with Egypt began, however, fuel continues to be blocked.

Meanwhile, Gaza’s health ministry has given a “final warning” to the world, saying that the main generators at two key hospitals in the territory are “hours away” from completely shutting down.

The EU and US officials have further raised concerns over the rising violence in the occupied West Bank, where the UN has said at least 121 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers since October 7.
