Day 417 of Israel war with Gaza: Israel kills 42 across Gaza, accused of truce violations in Lebanon

By Desmond Nleya
Lebanon’s military has accused Israeli forces of violating a ceasefire agreement that has brought a fragile truce in fighting with Hezbollah, and which is entering a third day.
Medical sources in Gaza report that at least 42 people were killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip as bombing intensifies and tanks advance into areas of the territory’s north and south.
The United Nations has warned again that “famine is imminent” in Gaza, where more than two million people remain trapped with little food and no access to safe drinking water.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 44,330 Palestinians and wounded 104,933 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 3,961 people have been killed and 16,520 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war on Gaza began.
