Lebanon: Israeli Air Strike Kills Senior Hezbollah Commander

A suspected Israeli drone strike on Southern Lebanon has killed a senior Commander in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken travels the region attempting to prevent the outbreak of a wider war.

249 Palestinians killed and 510 wounded in the previous 24 hours in Gaza, the Health Ministry says.

The whereabouts of 600 patients and health workers from Gaza’s al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital is “unknown”, WHO says.

At least 23,084 people have been killed including 9,600 children and nearly 59,000 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. About 1,139 people were killed in Hamas’s initial attack on Israel.
