Israeli airstrikes hit a mosque in central Gaza and southern suburbs of Beirut, killing at least 19 people and causing widespread destruction. The strikes targeted militants, but Palestinian officials reported that the casualties were mainly men, women, and children seeking shelter in the mosque and school. Israel and Hezbollah have been engaging in daily fire exchanges, resulting in thousands of casualties in Gaza and Lebanon.
French President Emmanuel Macron called for a halt to arms exports for the conflict in Gaza, drawing criticism from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Macron emphasized the importance of diplomatic solutions and a ceasefire in both Gaza and Lebanon. The ongoing conflict escalated with new explosions in south Beirut suburbs, causing further devastation and forcing thousands of people to flee.
The mounting death toll in Gaza and Lebanon, now nearing 42,000, has raised concerns about the humanitarian crisis. With Israel expanding its bombing campaign in Lebanon and targeting Palestinian refugee camps, the situation is worsening. The international community is urged to prioritize peace efforts and find a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. The continuous violence and destruction highlight the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian assistance for the affected populations.
