Death toll has reached nearly 42 000 as Lebanese state-run media reported “massive destruction” after overnight Israeli air strikes destroyed four residential buildings in the southern Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Lebanon that it could face destruction “like Gaza” as the Lebanese Health Ministry said on Tuesday that 36 people were killed and 150 injured across the country in the previous day.
Israeli forces have ordered the Kamal Adwan, Indonesian and al-Awda hospitals in northern Gaza to evacuate patients and health personnel within 24 hours.
At least 25 Palestinians – including five children and two women – have been killed in Israeli air strikes on central Gaza as Israel’s military “systematically works to empty” the war-battered north of the territory where another mass displacement of civilians is under way.
In Gaza, at least 41,965 people have been killed and 97,590 wounded in Israeli attacks since October 2023. In Israel, at least 1,139 people were killed in the Hamas-led attacks on October 7 and more than 200 people were taken captive
