Here’s what happened today
We will be closing this live page shortly but before we do, here’s a look at the day’s main developments:
At least 22 Palestinians have been killed across Gaza amid ongoing Israeli attacks.
Hamas urged mediators to pursue the implementation of the previous US-led deal instead of more negotiations to achieve a ceasefire.
UNRWA said that more than 75,000 Palestinians in southern Gaza were forced to flee in the past few days after new Israeli evacuation orders were issued amid a third ground invasion of the city since October 7.
The EU’s foreign policy chief said the bloc should include more sanctions in its Israel policy after two far-right ministers again publicly incited war crimes against Palestinians.
Hezbollah confirmed that three fighters have been killed in Israeli attacks across southern Lebanon, and launched its own assaults in border fighting.
An Israeli military court extended until Tuesday the detention of five soldiers who are accused of gang-raping a Palestinian prisoner.
The military wing of Hamas reported that battles are ongoing in several neighbourhoods of Rafah in the south of the Strip and claimed responsibility for a shooting attack in Jordan Valley that killed an Israeli citizen.

Israel drops cigarettes in Gaza as incentive for information
As we reported earlier on this live page, an Israeli quadcopter dropped leaflets over the tents of displaced people in southern Gaza.
The leaflets, which had single cigarettes attached, said people who call a number with information about fighters in Gaza would receive more tobacco.
Here’s some footage that has been shared from Gaza:
