Israeli Strikes Kill Multiple People in Gaza and Lebanon

Lebanon's Health Ministry reported that Israeli strikes have killed six people, including five in Beit Lif and one in Deir Seryan, amid a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. This ceasefire, which began on November 27, was intended to halt a conflict that has resulted in thousands of deaths. Both Israel and Hezbollah accuse each other of violating the ceasefire, which was established following months of hostilities. In Gaza, Israeli airstrikes overnight killed at least six individuals, further intensifying the ongoing conflict that has claimed over 44,500 Palestinian lives since October 7, 2023. Israel contends that its military actions target militants, while local health officials report that the majority of casualties are civilians. The UN Security Council is set to hold emergency consultations regarding the situation in Syria, which has been affected by the regional instability.
