West Bank Attack Kills Israeli as Strike on Lebanon Refugee Camp Leaves 13 Dead

Conflicting accounts over targets and casualties heighten pressure on a fragile Lebanon ceasefire.

Overview

  • Israeli authorities say a ramming and stabbing at Gush Etzion Junction killed one Israeli and wounded three, with soldiers killing two assailants and reporting explosives in their vehicle.
  • The man killed was identified locally as Aharon Cohen, 71, after initial paramedic reports listed a 30-year-old male; a woman in serious condition suffered a gunshot wound, hospital officials said.
  • The Palestinian Civil Affairs Authority named the attackers as 18-year-olds Imran al-Atrash and Walid Sabbarna from the Hebron area and said Israel is holding their bodies.
  • Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported 13 dead in an Israeli strike inside Ain al-Helweh camp near Sidon, while the IDF said it hit a Hamas training compound and Hamas denied any military site, calling the location a sports/play area.
  • The Ein el-Hilweh strike was the deadliest in Lebanon since last year’s truce, and a separate strike Wednesday in Tiri killed one person and wounded 11 including students on a nearby bus, according to Lebanese officials.
