An Israeli airstrike on Beit Lahia in northern Gaza killed at least three Palestinians, including children, as Israel's occupation forces continue heavy bombardments and escalating attacks, including on the Jabalia refugee camp in the north and Rafah in the south.

An Israeli airstrike killed at least 23 people in the village of Aalmat, north of Beirut and far from the areas in southern and eastern Lebanon where the militant Hezbollah group has a major presence. Lebanon's Health Ministry said a further six people were wounded. There was no immediate Israeli comment.
