More than 50 Palestinians are killed in the latest wave of Israeli attacks across Gaza as Israel’s siege of the north continues with the army planting explosive-filled barrels to blow up homes.
The director of al-Awda Hospital in Jabalia, Gaza, says Israel’s north assault is reaching “horrifying levels of atrocity”.
The deputy leader of Lebanese Hezbollah, Naim Qassem, says Israel wants to control all the “territory of Arab states and all the Muslims” but adds a ceasefire in Gaza is the “solution” to end the escalating conflict.
On day 11 of its ground invasion of northern Gaza, the Israeli army launched a major attack on the al-Faluja neighbourhood in the besieged Jabalia refugee camp.
United Nations peacekeepers will stay in their positions in southern Lebanon, the mission’s chief says after troops from the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) were injured in Israeli attacks.
In Gaza, at least 42,344 people have been killed
and 99,013 injured in Israeli attacks since October 2023.
At least 1,139 people were killed in Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, and more than 200 people were taken captive.
