Recent Israeli airstrikes in northern Gaza and southern Beirut have resulted in multiple casualties, adding to the toll of the ongoing conflict in the region.

Israeli Strikes in Gaza

In northern Gaza, a home was targeted by an Israeli strike, resulting in the tragic deaths of three siblings aged 6 and under. This incident is part of a series of airstrikes that have claimed the lives of at least six individuals in the war-torn territory. The Gaza Health Ministry has reported that the casualties include women and children, with more than 43,000 Palestinians losing their lives since the conflict began.

Israeli Airstrike in Lebanon

Further south, in Aramoun, Lebanon, an Israeli airstrike on an apartment building led to the deaths of at least six people and left 15 others wounded. The strike, which occurred without prior warning, has raised concerns about missing children and the overall impact on civilians in the area. Additionally, Israeli military actions in Beirut's southern suburbs have targeted Hezbollah facilities, escalating tensions in the region.
