• Gaza’s Government Media Office reports that 84 Palestinians, including more than 50 children, were killed in two Israeli attacks on residential buildings in northern Gaza in attacks described as “brutal massacres”.
• The United States is to deploy more military assets to the Middle East, including navy warships, jet fighters and long-range bomber aircraft.
• The third phase of a postponed mass polio vaccination drive is scheduled to restart in Gaza, aid groups say, after the campaign stalled amid Israeli attacks and mass displacement of north Gaza’s population, which has been under military siege for almost one month.
• Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 43,259 Palestinians and wounded 101,827.
• In Lebanon, at least 2,897 people have been killed and 13,150 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war on Gaza began, with 30 people killed across the country in the past 24 hours, the Lebanese Health Ministry says.
