Overview
- Hospitals in Gaza reported at least 22 deaths and dozens of injuries from Saturday’s strikes in Gaza City, Nuseirat and Deir al-Balah, including 11 killed in a vehicle hit in Rimal and multiple children among the wounded, part of a toll the Health Ministry lists as 69,733 since 2023 and 318 during the truce.
- The Israeli military said it launched the attacks after an armed assailant crossed the “line yellow” and fired on troops in southern Gaza, reported no soldiers wounded, and said its forces killed five senior Hamas operatives and other militants in subsequent actions.
- Hamas accused Israel of systematic cease-fire violations and of shifting the withdrawal demarcation westward, and it called on the United States, Egypt and Qatar to intervene urgently.
- UN agencies warn of a worsening humanitarian crisis marked by collapsed sanitation and severe child trauma, and the UN Security Council’s newly approved US plan for a stabilization force and transitional governance now faces renewed strain.
- Israel carried out its first strike in months on Beirut’s southern suburbs, saying it targeted Hezbollah’s military chief of staff Haitham Ali Tabatabai; Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported five dead and 28 injured in the attack.
