Lebanon’s Hezbollah, allied with Hamas, began firing rockets into Israel on Oct. 8, 2023, drawing retaliatory airstrikes. The conflict dramatically escalated in September with Israeli strikes that killed Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and most of his senior commanders. Israel launched a ground operation earlier this month.

An Israeli strike on the central Gaza Strip has killed a family of eight, Palestinian medical officials said. The deaths came as Israeli forces battled Palestinian militants in the territory’s north and air strikes destroyed a century-old market in southern Lebanon.

Palestinians in northern Gaza are describing heavy Israeli bombardment in the hours after airstrikes killed at least 22 people.
