At least 39 people injured after a drone attack targets northern Israel. Hezbollah says its drones targeted Israeli military camp.

    At least 300 people have been killed by Israeli forces as the military siege of northern Gaza enters a ninth day with tens of thousands trapped by the ground invasion and drone strikes as food and water supplies dwindle.

    Israel’s air force expands its bombardment of Lebanon and targets civilian areas outside traditional Hezbollah bastions, including a 100-year-old mosque in a border village.

    About 25 wounded Israeli soldiers are airlifted to a hospital in the country’s north after engaging in fierce battles with Hezbollah as the ground offensive rolls on.

    In Gaza, at least 42,227 people have been killed and 98,464 wounded in Israeli attacks since October 2023. In Israel, at least 1,139 people were killed on October 7, 2023, and more than 200 people taken captive.

    ‘Incomprehensible’ that UNIFIL is kept in line of fire: Israel ambassador

    It is “incomprehensible” that the UN would not move peacekeepers out of areas in southern Lebanon where Israeli forces are battling Hezbollah fighters, Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon has said.

    He also claimed that Hezbollah fighters were “using UNIFIL outposts as hiding places and as places of ambushes”.

    “The UN’s insistence on keeping the UNIFIL soldiers in the line of fire is incomprehensible,” Danon said.

    He added in a statement that the details of an incident involving UNIFIL were being investigated. At least five UN peacekeepers have been injured in Israeli attacks since last week.

    Earlier today, UNIFIL said two Israeli Merkava tanks destroyed one of its facility’s main gates and forcibly entered it. It also said that 15 peacekeepers suffered from skin irritation and gastrointestinal reactions after several rounds were fired from 100 metres (328 feet) north of the base.
