Air strikes: Heavy aerial bombardment on buildings, homes and many facilities.

The Israeli Navycontinues to fire missiles, targeting facilities and buildings along the shoreline of the whole of Gaza.
Victims: 66 people killed in Gaza brings the total number of deaths since 7 October to at least 34,454. With another 138 wounded, that figure has risen to 77,575.
US State Department Arabic spokesperson resigns over Gaza policy
The Arabic language spokesperson of the US State Department has resigned over Washington’s Gaza war policy, in the third resignation from the department since the war began. Hala Rharrit, a Palestinian-American, posted her resignation on the LinkedIn social media site, stating: “I resigned April 2024 after 18 years of distinguished service in opposition to the United States’ Gaza policy.” Rharrit, who joined the State Department as a political and human rights officer, was also the department’s Dubai regional media hub deputy director. In late March, Annelle Sheline, a foreign affairs officer in the State Department’s human rights bureau, stepped down in protest over the Biden administration’s support for Israel, saying it had made her job promoting human rights “almost impossible”. Earlier, veteran State Department official Josh Paul, a former director overseeing US arms transfers, resigned over Biden’s “destructive, unjust” supply of arms to Israel just days after the war on Gaza began. In January, a senior Palestinian-American official in the US Education Department, Tariq Habash, resigned from his post, saying he could no longer “stay silent as this administration turns a blind eye to the atrocities committed against innocent Palestinian lives.”
