Day 379 of Israel war with Gaza: Israel destroying north Gaza, strikes Lebanon’s Beirut with missiles

By Desmond Nleya
The UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) says it is concerned Israel “may be causing the destruction of the Palestinian population in Gaza’s northernmost governorate through death and displacement”.
The UN is particularly concerned about the people of Jabalia, Beit Hanoon and Beit Lahiya, where more than 87 Palestinians were killed or are missing after an Israeli attack that levelled an entire residential block.
At least 12 Israeli missiles have hit Beirut’s southern suburbs after attacks by Israel killed at least 16 people across Lebanon on Saturday, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.
The UN said an Israeli army bulldozer demolished a peacekeeping observation tower in southern Lebanon, marking the latest attack on the UN’s Interim Force In Lebanon (UNIFIL).
In Gaza, at least 42,603 people have been killed and 99,795 wounded in Israeli attacks since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Hamas’s assault on southern Israel and more than 200 were taken captive.
