Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia fired more than 60 rockets at an Israeli military base on Saturday, the group said, describing the barrage as an initial response to the killing of Hamas’s deputy leader in Beirut. Israel’s bombardment of Gaza continued on Saturday despite UN warnings that the Palestinian territory has become “uninhabitable”.

Summary:

  • Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia fired more than 60 rockets at an Israeli military base on Saturday, the group said, describing the barrage as a response to the killing of Hamas’s deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut.
  • UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths said Friday that Gaza has become “uninhabitable” and reiterated warnings that “a public health disaster is unfolding” in the enclave. “Gaza has simply become uninhabitable. Its people are witnessing daily threats to their very existence – while the world watches on,” Griffiths said in a statement.

Over 75 % are women and children.
