Women and children were among the 15 Palestinian people who have been killed in an Israeli drone strike in the town of Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, Wafa, the Palestinian news agency, reported, citing the Red Crescent and medical sources.

The entirety of northern Gaza is under Israeli evacuation orders to flee south, even though there is nowhere safe for people to go. The Israeli military launched an intense assault in northern Gaza on 6 October, claiming it was trying to stop Hamas fighters from regrouping. But many civilians have been killed in the attacks, with residents saying Israeli forces besieged hospitals and shelters for displaced people and targeted residential areas.

Air raid sirens sound in Tel Aviv after Hezbollah claims to have targeted Israeli city

Air raid sirens sounded in Tel Aviv on Tuesday after Hezbollah said it bombed the Nirit area in the city’s suburbs with missiles.

The Israeli military said about 20 rockets were fired in the latest barrage from Lebanon – five toward central Israel and 15 toward the north, and that attempts were made to intercept them. The IDF said there were no immediate reports of injuries.

Interceptor fragments fell in the northern Israeli town of Ma’agan Michael, causing damage to a building as well as vehicles, Israeli media reported, citing police.

Hezbollah said it targeted the Glilot base of the military intelligence unit 8200 located in the suburbs of Tel Aviv with a missile salvo. It also said it targeted a naval base near Haifa.

Videos verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad agency showed smoke rising near the Beit Aryeh settlement located north of the occupied West Bank and east of Tel Aviv after sirens sounded in three settlements in the West Bank.
