Latest Israeli attack on south Gaza brings today’s death toll to 95
Sources at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis tell Al Jazeera that a Palestinian man, his wife and three of his children were killed in an Israeli attack on their tent in the al-Mawasi area, west of the city.

Hospitals will stop running by tomorrow without fuel, health official warns
The director of al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, Muhammad Abu Salmiya, has warned that hospitals in the besieged enclave will cease operations tomorrow if they are not supplied with the necessary fuel.
Speaking to Al Jazeera Arabic, Abu Salmiya said the Israeli army withholds much-needed fuel “up to the point of death”, and only then are hospitals given a very small amount of fuel.
“Hospitals cannot function properly in this way. We have patients, medical teams who want to work in full force. Instead, they are all on edge … the fuel crisis is a massive one,” Abu Salmiya said.
Medical supplies and medicines are also running “dangerously low”, he said.
Death toll in Gaza rises
Sources at Gaza’s hospitals tell Al Jazeera that at least 85 people have been killed in Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip since dawn today.
This death toll includes 46 people who were killed in Gaza City alone.
Netanyahu accuses Hamas, says war goals remain unchanged
Benjamin Netanyahu claims that he accepted US envoy Steve Witkoff’s proposal for a truce and exchange agreement, but Hamas rejected it.
The Israeli prime minister said in a video posted online that his recent visit to Washington was “very successful”, hailing what he called a “major victory over Iran” during Israel’s 12-day war last month.
He rejected accusations that he has been obstructing the agreement, saying: “There are always those who repeat Hamas propaganda that I reject the deal, but they are always wrong. We accepted the deal proposed by Witkoff, and then the version proposed by the mediators, we accepted it, Hamas rejected it.”
Netanyahu added that Hamas seeks to remain in Gaza in order to rearm itself and attack Israel again, asserting: “I will not accept that. I will do everything to bring our kidnapped citizens home and eliminate Hamas.”
Netanyahu dismissed Israeli polls that show a majority of Israelis want a deal, and emphasised that the goals of the war in Gaza will not change.
Food shortages in Gaza are pushing children to the brink: UNRWA
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) says in a post on X that without urgent care, children in Gaza can die, as it urged Israeli authorities to permit the passage of thousands of trucks waiting to bring lifesaving aid into Gaza.
In a separate post, it said that a seven-month-old girl, Salam, suffering from serious acute malnutrition and seeking care from UNRWA, had died today while being treated by its teams.
UNRWA says she is one of thousands of malnourished children in Gaza, with more cases detected every day.
Israeli settlers launch more attacks across occupied West Bank
The head of the village council of al-Maniya, located southeast of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, was quoted as saying by Wafa news agency that Israeli settlers established a new outpost on Palestinian land.
This comes a day after another settler attack in the area, where a vehicle was burnt and solar energy cells used by residents for power generation and to get water to livestock were destroyed.
Another settler attack was reported in Ein el-Hilweh in the northern Jordan Valley, with damage to Palestinian property.
In Deir Dibwan in Ramallah, settlers set fire to a Palestinian-owned building at dawn. A few days earlier, settlers had stolen a number of sheep in the same town.
Israeli attacks kill 76 people across Gaza
At least 76 Palestinians have been killed across the Gaza Strip today, including 38 in Gaza City, according to Wafa news agency.
In the latest Israeli attacks:
- Five people were killed and 20 wounded after an Israeli drone strike targeted a group of people in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
- Three people were killed and many wounded when Israeli warplanes bombed tents sheltering displaced families in al-Fayrouz area, northwest Gaza City.

Gaza media office says more than 800 aid seekers killed
Gaza’s Government Media office says the Israeli army and private US security contractors managing aid distribution sites are “systematically killing starving civilians”.
In a strongly worded statement, the office said that “genocide engineering is taking place under US sponsorship and with the participation of complicit states”, calling the aid sites run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) “death traps”.
According to an updated toll provided by the office:
- 805 people have been killed while approaching the sites
- 5,252 have been wounded
- 42 have been reported missing since GHF began operating in Gaza on May 27
Two French members of parliament to join Gaza-bound Handala
As we reported earlier, a coalition of pro-Palestine activists has launched the ship Handala from Italy on a journey towards Gaza.
The former Norwegian trawler vessel that is now loaded with medical supplies and other life-saving humanitarian aid bound for Gaza is to be boarded by two French lawmakers.
Handala will make a stop at Gallipoli in southeastern Italy, where two members of the hard-left France Unbowed party (LFI), Gabrielle Cathala and Emma Fourreau, are expected to join.
“This is a mission for the children in Gaza, to break the humanitarian blockade and to break the summer silence on the genocide,” said Cathala, who is set to board the boat on July 18.
“I hope we will reach Gaza, but if not, it will be yet another violation of international law” by Israel, she added.
Gaza Civil Defence says many injured near Khan Younis
Mahmoud Basal, the spokesperson for Gaza’s Civil Defence, says its teams have been dealing with multiple injuries as a result of two Israeli attacks.
One attack targeted a displacement camp, and another a group of people in al-Mawasi near southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, he said.
Where are we at with the ceasefire talks?
Israel and Hamas appear no closer to a breakthrough in talks meant to pause Israel’s 21-month war on Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in Washington last week to discuss the deal with the administration of US President Donald Trump, but a new sticking point has emerged over the deployment of Israeli troops during the truce.
Hamas says it is willing to free all the remaining 50 captives, of which less than half are said to be alive, in exchange for an end to the war and the full withdrawal of Israeli forces.
Israel says it will only end the war once Hamas surrenders, disarms and goes into exile, something it refuses to do.
A Palestinian source told Reuters that Hamas has objected to the withdrawal maps proposed by Israel, as they would leave about 40 percent of the territory under Israeli occupation, including all of Rafah and other territories in northern and eastern Gaza.
The indirect talks are expected to continue, despite the latest obstacles. Delegations from Israel and Hamas have been in Qatar since Sunday.
Gaza death toll rises to 70
Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed at least 70 people today, medical sources have told our colleagues on the ground.
At least 35 of them have been killed in attacks on Gaza City, where Israeli forces have stepped up their bombing campaign.
Children desperately queue at crowded Gaza kitchen for food

Qassam Brigades reports mortar attack on Israeli soldiers in Gaza
The armed wing of Hamas says its fighters have reported launching an attack on invading Israeli soldiers in southern Gaza.

Gaza’s health authority mourns surgeon killed by Israel
We reported earlier that the Israeli army killed a surgeon, Dr Ahmad Qandeel, who worked at al-Ahli Arab Hospital in the northern part of Gaza, during a drone strike on a public market.
Gaza’s Health Ministry has released a statement to remember the doctor as a pillar of the devastated healthcare community in the enclave who “worked day and night to provide medical care under the most difficult circumstances” caused by the Israeli siege of Gaza.
Death toll in Gaza market attack rises
The death toll in the Israeli attack on a market in Gaza City has risen to 15, including Dr Ahmad Qandeel, a general surgery consultant working at al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City.
Since October 2023, more than 1,580 health workers have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza, according to the Government Media Office. Among them are 91 doctors and 132 nurses.
Israeli soldiers cause damage inside mosque in Tulkarem
Officials in Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank have published a video documenting the damage caused by Israeli forces to the Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Mosque, located in the Nur Shams refugee camp.
The directorate managing mosques in the area said there are nine mosques in Nur Shams and Tulkarem, adding that it is still unable to determine the extent of the damage caused by the ongoing months-long Israeli army operation there.
It called on international and human rights institutions to intervene to stop the targeting of places of worship, stressing that mosques should be preserved, according to international and humanitarian laws.
Israeli forces bulldoze more Palestinian land near Jenin
Israeli bulldozers have continued to level farmland in the village of Raba, located east of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, for a second day.
The aim is to make preparations for a military road near the Jabar al-Masalma area on the outskirts of the village, according to local officials quoted by the Wafa news agency.
Israeli authorities had earlier issued orders to confiscate Palestinian land around the village, which spans 2,700 hectares (6,670 acres) and is home to about 5,000 people.
Wafa also reported that Israeli soldiers stormed the town of Turmus Aya, northeast of Ramallah, and closed the only exit from the town of Tuqu, southeast of Bethlehem.
‘There must be accountability’ after deadly Israeli settler attacks: UK
The British consulate in Jerusalem has condemned the killing of two Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, stating in a post on X: “Extremist settlers face no consequences for their actions.”
On Friday, Israeli settlers beat to death Sayfollah Musallet, a 20-year-old US citizen, and fatally shot another Palestinian, Mohammed Shalabi, in an attack north of Ramallah.
Israeli forces have killed at least nine US citizens since 2022, including veteran Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
Palestinians targeted several times while trying to get water
At least 10 Palestinians were killed at a water collection point in the central Nuseirat refugee camp while a water crisis is ongoing across the Gaza Strip.
The water does not reach the displacement sites or the many thousands living in residential buildings that are near collapse. So they have to try to get water from desalination plants or any other source that may be available, even if the water is contaminated.
A crowd of people was at the site in Nuseirat when a drone fired a missile with at least six children among those killed.
People have been directly targeted several times in the past few months while trying to get water. Just 10 days ago, there was a small desalination plant serving as a place for the displaced which was bombed as well.
Much of the water infrastructure in Gaza has been destroyed by Israel, which also leads to many diseases and hygiene problems. Dozens of water sources, including wells and reservoirs, have been systematically ruined by the Israeli army, leaving many areas uninhabitable.
Freedom Flotilla sends third ship to break Israel’s siege of Gaza
The coalition of pro-Palestine activists has launched the ship Handala from Italy on a journey towards Gaza.
Maria Elena, a member of the crew, said the group “will not stop until the siege is broken and Palestine is liberated”.
After the live broadcast on social media from the coastal city of Syracuse on Sicily, the ship, loaded with humanitarian aid, sailed towards the besieged enclave.
In May, the Freedom Flotilla dispatched Conscience, which was hit by Israeli-linked drones in international waters off Malta. There were no casualties, but the ship had to stop its mission.
In early June, Israeli soldiers stopped the Madleen, the next ship sent by the coalition, in international waters, boarded it and arrested those on board before taking them to Israel and then forcing them to leave. Those on board included Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and Rima Hassan, a member of the European Parliament from France.
Market in Gaza City hit in deadly Israeli attack
Our colleagues on the ground are reporting that drones have targeted a group of Palestinians at a public market in Gaza, killing at least a dozen people and wounding many more.
Dr Ahmad Qandeel, a general surgery consultant working at al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, was killed in the attack.
