By Desmond Nleya
Israeli forces continue to pound Gaza, killing at least nine people in pre-dawn attacks, including a 15-day old infant. The deaths come hours after Israel bombed the so-called “safe-zone” of al-Mawasi and killed at least five children.
US President-elect Donald Trump demands that Hamas releases Israeli captives held in Gaza by the time he enters office, warning again that “all hell will break out” otherwise.
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati warns the international sponsors of the Israel-Hezbollah truce deal about continued Israeli violations as Lebanon’s army deploys units to southern areas, which Israeli forces have pulled out from.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 45,885 Palestinians and wounded 109,196 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.
