Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri has been confirmed dead in an attack in south Beirut, according to an announcement by the Palestinian group. The incident also claimed the lives of six others, including two Qassam leaders.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Red Crescent reports that at least five displaced Palestinians were killed in an Israeli army strike on its Khan Younis headquarters. Israeli raids persist across the occupied West Bank, resulting in the deaths of at least five Palestinians.
The toll of the ongoing conflict in Gaza continues to rise, with a staggering 22,185 people killed and 57,000 injured in Israeli attacks since October 7. The revised death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel now stands at 1,139.
The situation remains highly volatile, and international efforts to ease tensions are urgently needed to prevent further escalation. The global community closely watches developments in the region as concerns for civilian safety mount.
