Israeli military ramps up its overnight raids across the occupied West Bank as it presses on with its deadly bombardment of Gaza.

Russia-led UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip fails shortly after Moscow and Beijing vetoed a resolution put forward by Washington.

Al Jazeera condemns Israel’s “indiscriminate assault” on Gaza after family members of Al Jazeera Arabic’s Gaza bureau chief Wael Dahdouh are killed in an air raid.

US President Joe Biden faces backlash for questioning the Gaza death toll and describing the deaths of innocent Palestinians in the besieged enclave as “the price of waging war”.

At least 6,546 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, while more than 1,400 people have been killed in Israel since October 7.
