Escalating Conflict: Israeli Airstrikes Claim Lives Across Gaza and Lebanon

An Israeli airstrike on a residential block in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, has killed at least 34 people, including many women and children, with more feared trapped under rubble. The Israeli military claims the strike targeted militant positions to prevent Hamas from regrouping. Additional attacks in central and southern Gaza have resulted in further casualties. The ongoing conflict has displaced thousands, with the UN reporting severe shortages of essentials in besieged areas. Human Rights Watch has accused Israel of war crimes due to the mass displacement of Palestinians.
