Israeli Airstrikes Kill Dozens in Gaza

Recent Israeli airstrikes in northern Gaza reportedly killed 72 people, targeting a residential building in Beit Lahiya, while also striking a building in Beirut that is said to have resulted in the death of Hezbollah's media chief, Mohammad Afif. The Israeli military claimed its strikes targeted 'terrorist' locations and emphasized efforts to minimize civilian casualties, although it advised caution regarding casualty figures from Hamas-run health sources. Concurrently, Hezbollah launched missile strikes on Israeli military positions and bases, including a drone attack on enemy forces, as part of their ongoing operations. Notably, Hezbollah also claimed to have hit an Israeli Merkava tank in southern Lebanon, intensifying the ongoing conflict. The situation remains tense as both sides engage in escalating military actions. The overall death toll in the region continues to rise amid these hostilities.
