Israeli military operations in Gaza persist after a violent overnight assault on Khan Younis, which left at least 20 Palestinians dead, including women and children.
A Tuesday night Israeli strike targeted the al-Mawasi "safe zone" in southern Gaza's Khan Younis, with at least seven children among those killed. The targeted building housed displaced residents from Gaza City.
Since the attack, Israeli strikes on Gaza have continued, with the death toll rising to at least 28, including infants, young children, and women, further devastating the war-battered enclave.
In Lebanon, Prime Minister Najib Mikati has informed international sponsors of the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire deal, implemented in November, about ongoing Israeli violations.
Meanwhile, the Lebanese army has deployed units to southern areas vacated by Israeli forces to maintain security.
