Gaza toll rises as Israeli strikes kill seven; West Bank settlements face renewed scrutiny

Israeli strikes across central and southern Gaza killed at least seven Palestinians and wounded others, including hits near a Bureij police post and a displacement camp in Bani Suheila, with hospitals reporting fatalities and critical injuries. The Gaza death toll has surpassed 72,000 since October 2023. UN rights chief Volker Turk condemned the violence, calling it part of an unrelenting pattern. In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces and settlers conducted raids and arrests, while 34 new West Bank settlements were recently approved, drawing international condemnation from the EU, Turkiye, Sweden and the OIC.

In a 10-minute wave of Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon, including Beirut’s Barbour district, at least 254 people were killed and 1,165 wounded, with civilians — including children — bearing the heaviest toll as hospitals were overwhelmed by crush injuries and mass casualties. The strikes hit densely populated neighborhoods, contradicting claims of targeting Hezbollah, and forced more than a million people to flee or seek shelter. The broader war has left thousands dead and raised fears of further escalation, while residents and officials call for international scrutiny of the attacks.
