Middle East crisis live: UN security council likely to vote on Gaza ceasefire this week, reports say; US threatens veto

Council likely to vote on Tuesday on resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel-Gaza war, diplomats say

The Israeli military said on Sunday that it killed dozens of Palestinian militants and seized a large amount of weapons in fighting throughout the Gaza Strip over the past day.

Israel has been focusing its offensive in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, where the military said troops are being backed by tanks and air support.
