The latest round of ceasefire talks have stalled without a breakthrough. Meanwhile, a joint operation between Egypt, France, the US and Jordan to drop humanitarian aid into Gaza was the largest to date, according to Jordan media.

Israel will allow a similar number of worshippers into Jerusalem's al Aqsa Mosque during the first week of Ramadan as in previous years, a statement from the prime minister's office read.

The decision was agreed with top Israeli security officials during a meeting on preparations ahead of the Muslim fasting month which begins on Sunday, without providing a specific number.

"During the first week of Ramadan a similar number of worshippers will be allowed on the Temple Mount as in previous years," the statement said, using the Jewish name for the site.

"Every week a security assessment will be conducted and a decision will be made accordingly," it added.

The mosque has been the centre of much controversy, with Israel being accused of severely limiting the number of worshippers who can access the Muslim holy site.

At 12.30am yesterday, the Swiss-owned MSC SKY II, a merchant container ship, was attacked and hit by a Houthi missile attack near Aden. 

There are reports that two anti-ship missiles were fired at the ship, with one hitting it and one falling into the sea.  

It follows the successful Houthi attack on the Rubymar which sank at the weekend.

From a military perspective, the latest attacks are interesting. 

When the Houthis started their campaign against merchant shipping in the Red Sea they launched a series of attacks but with limited success.  

Since then, the Houthis will have consumed a significant quantity of their stocks of anti-ship missiles, and they have also been subject to a series of attacks by the US and UK targeting the missiles, launchers and associated radars.

However, despite this effort to degrade the Houthi anti-ship capability, the effectiveness of their attacks appears to be improving.  

This would imply that the Houthis are getting military assistance with the employment and guidance of the missiles, which is very likely to come from the missile manufacturers and suppliers - Iran.

Hamas has urged the US to stop sending Israel weapons hours after airdropping aid into Gaza in a joint operation. 

"We say to Washington, what is more important than sending aid [to Gaza] is stopping its supply of weapons to Israel," Osama Hamdan said during a media briefing in Beirut, Lebanon. 

Hamdan also repeated Hamas's claims that no exchange of hostages can occur without a complete cessation of hostilities. 

"In the past two days, the [Hamas] movement presented its position on the proposal put forward by the brotherly Qatari and Egyptian mediators. We reaffirmed our conditions for a ceasefire - a full pullout from the Strip and the return of the displaced from areas they left, in particular in the north," he said. 

This comes amid a back-and-forth over who is in control of ceasefire negotiations - with both sides claiming the ball is in the other's court. 

An Israeli strike killed a mother, father and their son in the southern Lebanese town of Houla earlier today, the mayor Shakib Koteish told the Reuters news agency.

"It was a three-floor house, now it's all the way collapsed and the rescue workers are still working to see who is left under it," he said.

Israel has not commented on the claims, which are not independently verified. 

Earlier, Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant said the continuing tension with Iran-backed Hezbollah at the border with Lebanon was moving the situation nearer to escalation.

"We are committed to the diplomatic process, however, Hezbollah's aggression is bringing us closer to a critical point in the decision-making regarding our military activities in Lebanon," he said. 

Iran-backed, Lebanon-based Hezbollah, which means "Party of God" in Arabic, openly calls for the destruction of the "Zionist regime in Palestine" and is deemed a terror organisation by most Western powers.

But the violence has largely been contained to areas at the border, shaped by what observers have called unwritten rules of engagement between adversaries that have long threatened each other with catastrophic damage in the event of war.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has previously warned that Beirut would be turned "into Gaza" if Hezbollah started an all-out war.

Joe Biden has repeated US claims that a ceasefire deal is solely "in the hands of Hamas". 

"It's in the hands of Hamas right now," he said. 

"The Israelis have been cooperating. We need a ceasefire."

His secretary of state Antony Blinken also said earlier there is an opportunity to achieve an immediate ceasefire, but that the onus was on Hamas.

A senior Hamas official denied this, claiming that "it is now in the hands of the Americans, if they are serious about achieving a ceasefire before Ramadan, to exercise enough pressure on the Israelis" (see 2.48pm post). 

Much of today's updates have been around the chronic lack of crucial aid inside Gaza - with many international partners calling on Israel to do more to get more in.

But can they do more? And perhaps more pertinently, will they?

Our data and forensics correspondent Tom Cheshire has taken a closer look...

Today's joint operation between Egypt, France, the US and Jordan to drop humanitarian aid into Gaza was the largest operation of its kind to date, according to a statement carried on the Jordanian state-run Petra news agency.

Three Jordanian C-130s delivered the aid, along with three US planes, one from Egypt and another from France, the statement said.

Relief supplies from the World Food Programme were among the deliveries.

Jordan has conducted 28 airdrop missions and another 15 joint operations since Israel's war with Hamas began 7 October. 

Israeli minister Benny Gantz will meet with US defence secretary Lloyd Austin today, the Pentagon has announced.

Mr Gantz, a political rival of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but member of the war cabinet, made headlines last week after announcing his decision to travel to the US for talks reportedly without the approval of Mr Netanyahu.

Former Pentagon adviser Jasmine el Gamal described the move as "a huge slap in the face for Benjamin Netanyahu", with Mr Gantz meeting with US vice president Kamala Harris yesterday. 

Israel's military is drawing up plans to open a new crossing to deliver humanitarian aid directly into northern Gaza, two Israeli officials have told our partner network NBC News.

The crossing is expected to be in the area around Kibbutz Be'eri, the officials said, though both stressed that plans were not finalised and could still change.  

Be'eri was one of the hardest hit communities during the 7 October attacks after Hamas gunmen stormed the area and wrought havoc. 

The plan for a new crossing comes after intense US pressure on Israel to get more aid into Gaza, amid growing signs of famine in the northern half of the strip. 

Israel controls all crossings into Gaza apart from Rafah, located on Egypt's border, which it monitors. Rafah and one other crossing, Kerem Shalom in southern Israel, are open for aid - subject to inspections.
