Israeli tank shelling and airstrikes have killed 18 people, including four children, in Gaza and Israel has halted the evacuation of patients through the Rafah border crossing, Palestinian officials have said. The Israeli military said it fired on Gaza after a gunman shot at Israeli soldiers and seriously injured a reservist. The strikes targeted Gaza City and the southern city of Khan Younis.

The European Union's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, has put forward a proposal to curb trade with Israel and impose restrictions on far-right Israeli ministers over the war in Gaza. It's questionable whether there will be a majority of states in the 27-member bloc in favor of the measures, although the EU has come under criticism for failing to pressure Israel.
