Day 319 of the Gaza war with Israel’s main incidents:
At least 52 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, including 12 at a Gaza City school and nine at a crowded market area in Deir el-Balah.
The United States’s top diplomat Antony Blinken urged stakeholders to get the Gaza ceasefire deal “over the finish line now” as he ended his Middle East tour without an agreement between Israel and Hamas.
Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported that the six Israeli captives – whose bodies were recovered from Gaza on Tuesday – likely died from a gas leak in a tunnel during an Israeli military attack on Khan Younis.
At least 40,173 people have been killed and 92,857 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7 and more than 200 were taken captive.
