Israel continues to pound several targets in Gaza overnight, hitting residential buildings and killing dozens of people, many of them women and children.

Gaza’s Health Ministry publishes names of thousands of Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks, saying “behind every number is a story of a person”, after the US president questions the reliability of the death toll.

US conducts strikes on Iranian and pro-Iranian facilities in Syria after attacks earlier this week.

Hamas political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, warns that ongoing Israeli “aggression” against Gaza will “destabilise the entire region”, as he promised to continue resistance.

UN General Assembly begins an emergency meeting on Gaza, with a vote on a Jordanian-drafted resolution expected on Friday.

At least 7,028 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since October 7, as Israel promises to continue raids into Palestinian territories. More than 1,400 people were killed in the Hamas attack on Israel.
