Day 411 of Israel war with Gaza: Lebanon truce holds; Israeli attacks on Gaza ‘absolutely terrifying’

By Desmond Nleya
People are returning to their damaged homes in parts of Lebanon as a fragile truce holds between Israel and Hezbollah, while the Lebanese armed group said it achieved “victory” over Israeli forces and that its fighters remain at the ready.
Heavy Israeli bombardment is “absolutely terrifying” for Palestinian civilians who remain trapped in the north of the Gaza Strip, a senior UNRWA official said.
Israel’s military placed a nighttime curfew on southern Lebanon, warning people that travelling south of the Litani River is “forbidden” until 7am local time (05:00 GMT) on Thursday.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 44,282 Palestinians and wounded 104,880 others since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day, and more than 200 were taken captive.
In Lebanon, at least 3,823 people have been killed and 15,859 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war on Gaza began.
