At least 49 Palestinians, including eight aid seekers, have been killed and 262 others injured in Israeli attack across the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.
Three bodies were also recovered from the rubble of previous Israeli attacks, the ministry said in a statement posted on Telegram.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed a total of 57,575 people and injured 136,879 others since October 7, 2023, the statement said. That includes a total of 766 aid seekers killed and 5,044 injured.
Israeli forces have stormed the Jalazone refugee camp, north of Ramallah city in the occupied West Bank, in a large-scale military incursion, according to the Wafa news agency.
Israeli troops spread through the camp’s alleyways in what residents described to Wafa as a provocative and heavy-handed incursion, unleashing tear gas and heavy gunfire.
So far, no injuries or arrests have been reported as military forces remain deployed in the area.
Israel claims to have killed two Hezbollah members in southern Lebanon
We reported yesterday that at least one person was killed in a suspected Israeli air attack on a van in the town of Deir Kifa in southern Lebanon.
Now, the Israeli army confirmed the attack was carried out by its forces and killed Ali Abd al-Hassan Haidar.
The Israeli military described him as a commander in Hezbollah’s Radwan Force, claiming that he “advanced numerous terror attacks” against Israeli civilians as well as troops.
“In recent months, the terrorist was involved in efforts to reestablish Hezbollah’s terrorist infrastructure sites in southern Lebanon. Haidar’s activities constitute a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the statement published on Telegram said in English.
“Approximately two hours later, an additional Hezbollah terrorist was eliminated in the area of Beit Lif in southern Lebanon,” it added, without naming the victim.
