The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza reports that at least 87 people were killed and over 40 injured in Israeli airstrikes on Beit Lahia in northern Gaza. Many victims are believed to remain under the rubble, with ambulance crews unable to reach them. Israel says it is verifying casualty reports but accused Hamas authorities of inflating figures. In Lebanon, Israel resumed strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut. These events followed a drone strike aimed at Israeli PM Netanyahu’s home, which Israel attributed to Iran-backed Hezbollah.
