Israeli strikes on Gaza kill at least 7 as people flee south Lebanon day after nearly 500 killed
Israeli Strikes Leave Seven Dead in Khan Younis
In Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis, Palestinian officials report that Israel’s early Tuesday strikes resulted in the deaths of at least seven individuals. Additionally, 15 others, including women and children, were injured in these attacks.
Israel’s military has stated its intention to take necessary actions to push Hezbollah away from the border between Lebanon and Israel. The ongoing conflict between the two countries has escalated since the commencement of the Israel-Hamas war.
On Monday, Israel conducted numerous airstrikes in southern and eastern Lebanon, resulting in nearly 500 fatalities and over 1,600 injuries. The chaos prompted thousands of people to flee southern Lebanon, causing massive traffic jams on the highway to Beirut, marking the largest exodus since the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war.
Despite the devastating toll of the recent attacks, Lebanon remains resilient in the face of adversity, having already suffered a deadly assault on communication infrastructure the previous week. While Lebanon accuses Israel of these attacks, Israel has neither confirmed nor denied its involvement.
Hezbollah responded to Israel’s actions by launching over 100 projectiles toward Israeli territory, reaching as far as the northern city of Haifa and parts of the occupied West Bank. Although most of the missiles were intercepted, two individuals sustained minor injuries from falling shrapnel in northern Israel.
Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that over 41,000 Palestinians have lost their lives since the onset of the war, with a significant number being women and children. The conflict originated when Hamas-led militants breached southern Israel on October 7, resulting in numerous casualties and abductions.
UAE Airlines Suspend Flights to Lebanon
In response to the ongoing cross-border hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, airlines in the United Arab Emirates, a prominent travel hub, have canceled flights to Lebanon. Carriers such as Emirates, Etihad, and FlyDubai have all suspended their services to the region.
Notably, the UAE, which formalized diplomatic relations with Israel in 2020, is home to a sizable Lebanese expatriate community.
