Summary
Four people were killed in an Israeli strike on the Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza, according to medical sources at Al-Shifa Hospital cited by Al Jazeera.
The deaths added to at least four other reported fatalities in southern and central Gaza — one in Bani Suheila, a 13-year-old boy south of Khan Yunis, and two people who later died from earlier wounds in Gaza City.
Israel was simultaneously bracing for possible retaliation after striking Beirut's southern suburbs, with the IDF keeping forces on high alert and allowing gatherings of up to 5,000 people nationwide except near the northern border.
Donald Trump said the Beirut strike 'should not have happened' because it could derail a U.S.-Iran agreement he said was very close, while U.S. officials insisted talks were still on track and Iran must restrain Hezbollah.

Overview
Since October 2023, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and Lebanon has sharply worsened due to ongoing military escalations. Despite a ceasefire in Gaza in October 2025, Israeli attacks have continued daily, causing hundreds of new casualties and adding to a devastating toll of nearly 73,000 Palestinians killed and over 173,000 injured, with most of Gaza’s infrastructure destroyed. Recent violence has forced tens of thousands into emergency shelters, while diplomatic efforts struggle to halt the conflict. The situation in Lebanon has also deteriorated, with Israeli strikes and Hezbollah’s retaliation leading to further instability and humanitarian challenges across the region.
