A series of aerial assaults on northern Gaza has left 30 people dead, adding to Tuesday's 93 casualties. Meanwhile, Lebanon's prime minister expressed hope on Wednesday that a ceasefire deal with Israel would be announced within days.
Israel pummeled the Gaza Strip with new bombardments that killed at least 30 people on Wednesday, Palestinian medics said, a day after one of the deadliest single strikes of the year-old war killed scores in the north of the enclave. Eight of Wednesday's victims were killed in a strike on the Salateen area of Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza.
Israel's decision this week to ban the United Nations relief agency UNRWA from operating on its territory could have a disastrous impact on humanitarian efforts in Gaza, UN officials said. The Gaza war began after Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that for years ruled the territory, attacked Israeli towns and villages on 7 October 2023, killing some 1,200 people , according to Israeli authorities.
