Several Palestinians were reportedly killed in Israeli attacks on Rafah as well as the Jabalia and al-Bureij refugee camps. At least 165 Palestinians in Gaza were killed by Israel’s military over the last 24 hours, Palestinian authorities reported on January 21. Opposition leader Yair Lapid urged that Israel should stop its attack on Gaza to get the captives back. Britain will spend $514 million to upgrade a missile system now being used by the Royal Navy to shoot down hostile drones over the Red Sea. The Sea Viper Air Defence system will be upgraded with missiles featuring a new warhead and software enabling it to counter ballistic missile threats. US intelligence agencies reportedly estimated that Israeli security forces have killed just 20-30% of Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.
