The UKMTO has released more details of an incident off the coast of Yemen. It said all crew and a vessel are safe after reporting an explosion near it, about 180 nautical miles (330 km) east of Yemen’s Nishtun. Nishtun is on Yemen’s southern coast, close to Oman.

The family of Daniella Gilboa, who is being held hostage in Gaza, have allowed the publication of a video featuring her which Hamas released in January. Although the release of the video had been reported at the time, it was not widely shown.

In the video Gilboa, a 19-year-old soldier captured from the Nahal Oz base on 7 October, says where she is being held is under constant bombardment, that she misses her family, and she accuses the Israeli government of abandoning her and other hostages. The circumstances under which the video were filmed remain unclear.

In releasing the footage, her mother Orly Gilboa told Israeli media that she hoped it would underline the importance of securing a hostage release deal.

Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, has claimed to have detonated a high-explosive device aimed at Israeli security forces who were engaged in a raid on the Nur Shams camp in Tulkarm.

The national news agency in Lebanon is reporting that civil defence teams have been firefighting in the south of the country after a series of airstrikes by Israel. It listed Maroun al-Ras, Hanine, Ayta Al-Shaab, Shakra, and Rmeish as the areas affected.

Overnight Israel has also struck at targets in Syria and in Gaza.

Here is the video clip of US national security spokesperson, John Kirby, saying gaps remain between Israel and Hamas in ceasefire negotiations.

In a statement Israel’s military has claimed to have “eliminated dozens of terrorists and located numerous weapons” in Gaza City. It says it was acting “following intelligence indicating the presence of Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist infrastructure in the area”.

It says it continues to operate in the Shejaiya neighbourhood, and to have “eliminated dozens of terrorists in close-quarters combat and aerial strikes” in Rafah, in the south of the territory.

The claims have not been independently verified. Israel says that 324 of its soldiers have been killed during the ground offensive in Gaza since it began on 27 October, twenty days after the surprise Hamas attack inside southern Israel.

Sirens have sounded in northern Israel. Earlier Israel’s military said it intercepted a suspiscious aerial target approaching Israel from the east.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency (UKMTO) has reported an incident off the coast of Yemen, where Houthis have repeatedly launched attacks against shipping they claim has Israeli links.

It is currently unclear how many Palestinians have been killed this morning by Israeli airstrikes. An earlier death toll of three in Nuseirat refugee camp given by Al Jazeera has been revised up to seven. It reports Israeli aircraft bombed a house belonging to the Freih family.

Palestinian news agency Wafa is reporting that 16 people have been killed. In addition to the seven in Nuseirat refugee camp, it reports six others were killed in a Israeli strike that targeted a house in the north of Gaza City where, it said, “medical teams were able to recover an infant alive”. Three others were killed, and three wounded, in a separate strike.

Jordan’s news agency Petra has reported “17 martyrs as a result of the occupation bombing of the Gaza Strip”.

It has not been possible for journalists to independently verify the casualty figures being issued during the conflict.

In the Israeli-occupied West Bank Israel’s security forces have staged operations in Tulkarm and in Hebron.

Israeli forces used heavy industrial vehicles to cause damage in Tulkarm, with a journalist for the Wafa news agency reporting that “a large number of occupation vehicles and heavy bulldozers stormed the city from its western axis, amid intense flights of drones at a low altitude.”

In Hebron two people were reported detained, including a Palestinian child. Wafa reported that Israeli forces used “live bullets, stun grenades and gas bombs” after confrontations broke out.

A witness in Beit Ummar told Wafa that “the Israeli soldiers broke into several houses, destroyed their doors, tiles and contents, detained their owners inside individual rooms, [and] beat them.”

The claims have not been independently verified.

Overnight Israel has attacked targets in the northern Syrian city of Baniyas. The Syrian army reports no casualties and slight damage to property.

Al Jazeera reports that at least three Palestinians have been killed by an Israeli airstrike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. It stated that “many others were injured and some people were still missing, feared under the rubble.”

Health authorities in Gaza say that over 38,000 Palestinians have been killed during Israel’s military campaign against the territory.

Overnight Israel’s military claimed that “based on intelligence and using precise munition, the IAF struck several terrorists who were conducting terrorist activities, using the structures of a school in the area of Nuseirat as cover.”

The claims have not been independently verified. It has not been possible for journalists to independently verify the casualty figures being issued during the conflict.

Israel’s military has said in a statement that it intercepted “a suspicious aerial target that approached southern Israel from the east”. It said “the target did not cross into Israeli territory” and it was intercepted successfully by a fighter jet.

The claims have not been independently verified.

Welcome to our latest live coverage of the Israel-Gaza war and the wider Middle East crisis. Here are your headlines …

The White House national security spokesperson John Kirby says gaps still remain between Israel and Hamas as ceasefire talks continue in Cairo, reports Reuters.

Speaking at a briefing, Kirby said CIA director Bill Burns and US Middle East envoy Brett McGurk were in Egypt, meeting with their Egyptian, Israeli and Jordanian counterparts on Monday. He added that there will be follow-on discussions in the next few days. Kirby said:

We’ve been working this very, very hard. And there are still some gaps that remain in the two sides in the positions, but we wouldn’t have sent a team over there if we didn’t think that we had a shot here

“We’re trying to close those gaps as best we can,” he added.

But Hamas has accused the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu of obstructing negotiations for a truce and hostage release deal, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).

In a statement, Hamas said the Israeli prime minister “continues to place more obstacles in front of the negotiations”.

The group accused Netanyahu of escalating “his aggression and crimes against our people” in what it said were “attempts to forcibly displace them in order to thwart all efforts to reach an agreement”.

In other developments:

• People in Gaza City have reported one of the heaviest attacks by Israeli forces since 7 October, sending thousands of Palestinians fleeing from an area already ravaged in the early weeks of the nine-month-old war. The latest Israeli incursion into the eastern sector of Gaza City came as Israel’s far-right coalition parties threatened again to stop ongoing negotiations in Qatar for a ceasefire, arguing that halting the fighting now would be a huge mistake

• Opposition leader Yair Lapid said he would provide prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a “political safety net” in order to get a deal through the Knesset if his coalition partners pull out of government. Lapid said “Netanyahu is a bad, failed prime minister, and he is to blame for the 7 October disaster, but the most important thing is to bring the kidnapped people back home”

• Israeli media reported that security sources were dismayed by a statement by Netanyahu on Sunday setting out Israeli pre-conditions for a ceasefire deal. One source told Hebrew media outlet Ynet that it was “inappropriate conduct that will harm the chance of returning the abductees home”

• The Palestinian death toll from the conflict has risen to 38,193 Palestinians according to the health authority in Gaza. Israel’s military says it has lost 324 troops during its ground operation. It has not been possible for journalists to independently verify the casualty figures being issued during the conflict

• Israel’s military has claimed that in the Shujaiya area of Gaza City it has destroyed a Hamas headquarters which it says was converted from a school and health clinic “from civilian use to terrorist purposes”. The claims have not been independently verified

• Israel’s military confirmed it was responsible for killing Mustafa Hassan Salman, a Hezbollah member, inside Lebanon. The Iran-backed militant group announced his death earlier on Monday. Israel’s statement said he was “an operative in Hezbollah’s rockets and missiles unit, who took part in the planning and execution of numerous terror attacks against the state of Israel”

• Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson has warned Israel that it would support Lebanon against any Israeli aggression, which would “increase tension and threaten security in the region”. Nasser Kanaani said “Defending Lebanon is a fundamental principle for Iran”
