The Israeli Embassy in Gaza is preparing to attack Hamas militants in the next-to-leading order: “Hezbollah is on fire“

The Israeli government claimed that a drone attacked the house of the prime minister, but there were no casualties.

BEIRUT — Israel’s military announced Sunday it is now taking aim at the Lebanon-based Hezbollah’s financial arm and will attack a “large number of targets” in Beirut and elsewhere. The south suburbs of Lebanon’s capital city began to experience explosions about an hour later.

Israeli strikes on homes in northern Gaza overnight and into Sunday left at least 87 people dead or missing, the territory’s Health Ministry said, as a large-scale operation continued against Hamas militants said to be regrouping.

In September, Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched a ballistic missile toward Ben Gurion Airport when Netanyahu’s plane was landing. The missile was intercepted.

In the northern city of Kir Atayat people ran for cover as missiles exploded in the sky. A damaged building and burned cars were seen by Associated Press reporters after a rocket landed. Nine people were lightly injured, according to the commander for the Haifa area.

The Israeli fire service also said it was battling several blazes resulting from missiles in the Shlomi area, less than a mile (1 kilometer) from the Lebanese border.

The United States is investigating a leak of classified documents that suggest Israel was preparing for a military strike in response to Iran’s missile attack on October 1. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

Israel ordered the entire population of the northern third of Gaza, including Gaza City, to evacuate to the south in the opening weeks of the war and reiterated those instructions earlier this month. 400,000 people are believed to have remained in the north despite the population fleeing last year.

In the southern town of Bint Jbeil, Israel said Saturday it killed Hezbollah’s deputy commander. The army claimed to have proof that he oversaw attacks against Israel.

In southern Lebanon, the Lebanese army said three soldiers were killed in an Israeli strike on their vehicle. The Israeli military claimed that it hit more than 100 Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon in the last 24 hours, but no comment has been made by them.

The US has urged Israel to press for a cease-fire after Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed last week. But neither Israel nor Hamas has shown any renewed interest in such a deal, after months of negotiations sputtered to a halt in August.

The supreme leader of Iran said that the death of Sinwar was a loss but that Hamas continued despite other killings of Palestinian militant leaders.

Sinwar’s killing appeared to be a chance front-line encounter with Israeli troops on Wednesday, and it could shift the dynamics of the war in Gaza even as Israel presses its offensive against Hezbollah with ground troops in southern Lebanon and airstrikes in other areas of the country.

Israeli military attacks on displaced civilians in the Gazan village of Beit Lahiya: the first victim of the Israel-Hezbollah war

A United Nations school sheltering displaced people in the west of Gaza City, was also hit, killing several people, according to the Hamas-run civil defense first responders.

The war has destroyed vast swaths of Gaza, displaced about 90% of its population of 2.3 million people, and left them struggling to find food, water, medicine and fuel.

Even though Israel and its allies did not approve of Sinwars death, they hope that it will lead to an end to the fighting.

There were at least 40 people wounded in the strikes on the town of Beit Lahiya, which was one of the first targets of the Israeli ground invasion last year.

Three US officials said that the United States is investigating the release of classified documents that assess Israel’s plans to attack Iran. A fourth U.S. official said the documents appear to be legitimate.

Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense has called civilian casualties in Lebanon “far too high” in the Israel-Hezbollah war and urged Israel to scale back some strikes.

Among the dead were parents and eight children, according to Raheem Kheder, a medic. He said the strike flattened a multistory building and at least four neighboring houses.

Mounir al-Bursh, director general of the Health Ministry, said the flood of wounded from the strikes compounded “an already catastrophic situation for the health care system” in northern Gaza, in a post on X.

The international charity known by its French acronymMSF called on Israeli forces “to immediately stop their attacks on hospitals in North Gaza” after the health ministry said Israeli troops had fired on two hospitals.

The continued Israeli military assaults on northern Gaza over the past two weeks have left a trail of destruction, according to the emergency coordinator for the humanitarian organization, Doctors Without Borders.

It was difficult to get information about strikes and rescue efforts after the internet went down.

In the last two weeks, Israel has been carrying out a large operation in northern Gaza. Hamas had regrouped and the military launched an operation to take them down.

Israeli forces have come back to Jabaliya many times over the course of the war.

The north has suffered the greatest destruction of the war and has been encircled since late last year after Hamas’ attack on Israel.

On October 7, 2000, Hamas bombed holes in the security fence of Israel, killing 1,200 people and abducting another 250. Around 100 captives are still being held in Gaza, a third of whom are believed to be dead.

In the middle is the U.N. peacekeeping mission UNIFIL, which said Israeli forces on Sunday “deliberately demolished an observation tower and perimeter fence of a U.N. position” in southern Lebanon. It was resistant to Israeli pressure to leave its positions.

The Israeli military confused people in the Choueifat area south of Lebanon with one target. The location was labeled as Grand Cinema ABC Verdun, a theater in an upscale shopping mall in central Beirut more than 10 kilometers (6 miles) away.

The terrorist attack on the registered nonprofit al-Qard al-Hassan in Gaza, a country where government and financial institutions have failed

In central Gaza, six people, including a child, were killed when a strike hit a car in Deir al-Balah, Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital officials said. AP journalists counted the dead.

The statement by Al-Qard al-Hassan assured customers that its funds were safe after the bank decided to target it. A stream of people left the areas surrounding its branches in Beirut.

“AQAH is a cash-based organization. He said the cash would be thrown in the trash in the event of a strike.

David Asher, who works as a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and has worked at U.S. Defense and State Departments, said it was a big deal.

The registered nonprofit, sanctioned by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, provides financial services and is also used by ordinary Lebanese. In Arabic, it’s called the benevolent loan and it’s used by Hezbollah to reinforce its support for the Shiite population in a country where state and financial institutions have failed.

The strikes will target al-Qard al-Hassan “all over Lebanon,” a senior Israeli intelligence official said. An army official said that al-Qard al-Hassan is a Hezbollah unit that pays operatives and helps buy arms.
