The Israeli Air Force carried out a new attack overnight against Hamas terrorists operating in a command and control center located in Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital , in the Deir al-Balah area of the central Gaza Strip. The army (IDF) reported this on Telegram, adding that " the command and control center was used by Hamas terrorists to plan and carry out terrorist attacks against IDF troops and the State of Israel ."
According to the Hamas government press office, as reported by CNN, at least three people were killed and 40 others were injured . According to the pro-Iranian group, this is the seventh time that the camp inside the al-Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah has been hit since January. Hamas also called on the international community to pressure Israel to stop attacks against civilians.
And while the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that 5 children were killed in an airstrike in the al Shati area, in southwest Gaza, the Turkish agency Anadolu reported, citing medical sources, that "at least 18 people died in an Israeli raid on school accommodation in the Nuseirat refugee camp", in the central Gaza Strip.
Yesterday evening, a Hezbollah drone managed to penetrate Israeli air defense systems, hitting a building and wounding 67 people, including four in serious condition, near Binyamina, in the Ramot Menashe area of the northern district of Haifa . This is the highest number of injuries in a single incident since the October 7 massacre, with the alarm sirens not going off and the IDF investigating the incident.
The army estimates that the unmanned aircraft could have been part of a swarm that raised the alarm in the Nahariya area and from there the drone managed to penetrate the area, a distance of 60 kilometers from the border with Lebanon.
The IDF has not yet provided further details on the incident, while Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for "the launch on an Israeli base south of Haifa", specifying that it had wanted to ambush Israeli soldiers on the border with Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has defined the perimeter of the ground operations and targeted air strikes against the pro-Iranian Shiite organization : "The IDF operations extend from Beirut, to the Beqaa Valley and throughout Lebanon. We are intensifying our efforts along the border and will continue until all operational objectives are achieved."
Meanwhile, diplomatic “incidents” continue: in addition to the five UNIFIL peacekeepers hit by gunfire, yesterday the Red Cross reported that several of its rescuers were injured in an attack on a house in southern Lebanon where they had been sent “in coordination” with the UN mission.
