Israeli Airstrikes Devastate Lebanon and Gaza: 40 Dead, Including 7 Children, and Food Crisis Looms
Israeli Airstrikes Devastate Lebanon and Gaza: The relentless Israeli airstrikes continue to wreak havoc in Lebanon and Gaza, claiming dozens of lives, including children, and exacerbating an already dire humanitarian situation. On Sunday, Israeli bombings in various areas of Lebanon led to the deaths of 40 people, including seven children. In northern Gaza, airstrikes targeting makeshift shelters left 36 people dead, many of them women, further deepening the crisis in the region.
Deadly Airstrikes in Lebanon
The Lebanese areas of Almata and Mashghara were among the hardest hit. In Almata, Israeli airstrikes killed 37 people, including seven children, and injured six others. Another strike in Mashghara claimed the lives of three individuals. As the casualties rise, the scale of destruction in Lebanon intensifies, drawing global concern.
Gaza’s Hunger Crisis
Meanwhile, the situation in northern Gaza is equally alarming. Israeli forces targeted homes where displaced residents had taken refuge, killing 36 people. Among the victims were numerous women and children. Humanitarian organizations have raised alarms about a growing food crisis in Gaza, with many areas cut off from essential supplies due to the ongoing siege. The threat of starvation looms large as civilians face extreme conditions. However, Israel has denied allegations of food shortages, insisting that adequate supplies are reaching those in need.
Targeting Key Figures in Gaza
In a separate attack in Gaza City, Israeli forces targeted the residence of Hamas government minister Wael Al-Khor. The strike killed Wael, his wife, and their three children, along with three other individuals in different locations. This incident underscores the ongoing violence targeting political and military figures in the region.
Rising Tensions and International Responses
In Syria, near Damascus, Israeli airstrikes hit a residential building in the Sayyida Zaynab area, known for its Shiite population and Hezbollah influence. Several people were killed or injured in the attack, though Israel has not commented on the incident.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been engaged in discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump, reportedly having spoken to him three times in just five days. Netanyahu described these conversations as “good and important,” reflecting ongoing efforts to strengthen U.S.-Israel relations amid the conflict.
Hezbollah’s Role and Netanyahu’s Acknowledgement
Netanyahu also addressed the controversial Israeli attacks on Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon. The Israeli Prime Minister confirmed that he had approved the strikes, which killed over 40 Hezbollah militants two months ago. This marks the first public acknowledgment of Israel’s involvement in the targeted attacks on the Iran-backed group in Lebanon.
As the violence continues to escalate, the humanitarian impact in both Lebanon and Gaza remains catastrophic, with casualties mounting and the world watching closely.
