Israel’s army launches 2 more attacks on southern Lebanon
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reports an Israeli drone strike on Rub Thalatheen village killed two people and wounded two others in southern Lebanon.
Another attack hit a car in Majdal Zoun village. Lebanon’s Health Ministry said three were wounded, including a seven-year-old child.
Israel’s military said it has been operating to distance “suspects” in the region, without elaborating. Israel says it reserves the right to strike against any perceived ceasefire violations by Hezbollah.
This is not a ceasefire, it's just Israel demanding not to be fired back on. Backed by the US, no one will stop Israel.
Israeli soldier killed in Gaza, others wounded
The Israeli army says a 20-year-old sergeant was killed in a gun battle in northern Gaza and another soldier was seriously injured in the same firefight.
In another incident, the military said in a statement one troop was severely wounded during clashes with Palestinian fighters in southern Gaza.
Another soldier was “seriously wounded during an operational military activity in the north of the country [on the Lebanese border]”, without providing further details.
The death toll of Israeli troops since the beginning of its war on Gaza in October 2023 has reached 807, according to army data. Another 5,442 Israeli soldiers have been wounded, 796 of them seriously.
Dozens of Palestinians killed in Israeli attack on northern Gaza
More than 40 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air strike that targeted a house in the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, the Civil Defence agency’s spokesman, Mahmoud Basal, says.
The bombed house belonged to the al-Araj family in the Tall az-Zaatar neighbourhood. A distraught Palestinian resident, Mohammed al-Zaytouniyeh, said that “there is no safe place” in Gaza from Israeli attacks.
“Residents are being bombarded. Explosive barrels are thrown down at them, at their houses, markets, streets, shelters, schools… There is no safe place. Where should these displaced people go?”

Another Israeli attack on Gaza City
Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic, citing Palestinian sources, report that an unspecified number of people were killed and injured as a result of an Israeli attack on a family home in the Nassr neighbourhood.
Earlier in the day, we reported that seven people were killed after Israeli forces targeted a house in the Shujayea neighbourhood in eastern Gaza City.
In the Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza, Israeli air strikes killed six Palestinian civilians and wounded several others. The death toll from a day of relentless attacks throughout Gaza is now nearing 100.
