Loud explosions rock Lebanon’s Beirut as Israeli forces bomb the Lebanese capital for the second time since the ceasefire with Hezbollah in November.
Thousands of Palestinians are fleeing Rafah in southern Gaza after Israeli forces ordered the evacuation of nearly the entire city and launched deadly attacks on the area.
Israeli forces kill at least 34 people on the second day of Eid al-Fitr as Palestinians in Gaza mourn the 15 emergency workers killed by Israel while trying to rescue the wounded on March 23.
Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 50,357 Palestinians are confirmed dead and 114,400 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. Gaza’s Government Media Office updated its death toll about two months ago to more than 61,700, saying that thousands of people missing under the rubble are presumed dead.
