Overview

  • In Lebanon, Israel hit targets in the Bekaa Valley and the south after public warnings, with evacuations reported and two people wounded in Braikeh, according to Lebanese authorities and the AP.
  • A separate Israeli drone attack on Sunday destroyed a car near Bint Jbeil, killing two people, which Israel described as a strike on Hezbollah members, Lebanese health officials and the military said.
  • In Gaza, an airstrike on Khan Younis on Monday killed at least two people, including a girl, and wounded four others, hospital officials reported.
  • Gaza’s Health Ministry says roughly 420–422 Palestinians have been killed since the October ceasefire, with the overall war death toll exceeding 71,000, as Israel says it targets militants and infrastructure.
