At least 19 children have died

The Palestinian Ambassador to Ireland believes the international community needs to do more to stop the violence in Gaza.

At least 87 Palestinians, including 18 children and 7 women, have died in Gaza since Monday, with a further 7 killed in Israel, including a 6-year old child.

Israeli forces stepped up their offensive last night, killing a number of senior Hamas military figures.

Israel claim it is retaliating to attacks from Palestinian militants.

The Palestinian Ambassador to Ireland, Dr. Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid, believes the international community needs to do more:

The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, notes the country will continue with strike action.

Middle East Correspondent for The Independent, Bel Trew, says it was a long night of violence:

A rally, in support of Palestine, due to take place in Dublin this weekend, has been cancelled.

The Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign were planning to demonstrate against the violence.

The group says they are "hugely disappointed" to cancel the protest, but are following legal advice surrounding Covid-19 restrictions.
