Israel-Hamas war LIVE: On the 88th day of the protracted Israel-Hamas war, the conflict took an ominous turn as Israeli military actions extended into Lebanon. This marked a notable development, with an Israeli strike claiming the life of Saleh al-Aruri, the deputy leader of Hamas.
Al-Aruri’s demise is a significant blow to the Hamas leadership, making him the most high-profile figure to be killed during this extended period of hostilities. The event also represents a departure from previous Israeli strikes, as it constitutes the first attack on the Lebanese capital since the commencement of the conflict.
Simultaneously, on the Gaza front, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) shared a distressing video showcasing the evacuation of its building in Khan Younis. This location had become a tragic scene as a second bombing resulted in the loss of five lives, including a newborn barely a week old, and left three others injured, including a dedicated first responder volunteer. The visuals underscored the harrowing impact on the displaced individuals, portraying scenes of horror and panic amid the aftermath of the attack.
On the diplomatic front, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) expressed deep concern about the potential escalation of hostilities between Israel and Lebanon. The organization urged all parties involved to cease fire, emphasizing the devastating consequences that an escalation could have on both sides of the conflict. The plea for restraint and de-escalation comes amid fears of further deterioration in the already volatile situation.
Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported an ongoing, intensive battle in Khan Younis, a city located in the southern part of the Gaza Strip. The IDF provided details of ground operations against terrorist operatives, including an incident where IDF troops identified a terrorist attempting to plant an explosive device on a tank. In response, an IDF aircraft was directed to strike the terrorist and three additional individuals in the area. Additionally, an IDF fighter jet targeted an Islamic Jihad weapons production complex in Khan Younis.
As the conflict unfolds on multiple fronts, the situation remains highly volatile, with diplomatic efforts and humanitarian concerns intertwined with the ongoing military actions.
