Fierce ground battles in south Lebanon as Israel forces advance
- Hezbollah fighters and Israeli troops engage in fierce clashes at the key southern Lebanon town of Khiam and in the coastal Bayada area as Israel’s army attempts to gain ground.
- At least 120 Palestinians have been killed and 205 others wounded in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 48 hours, the Health Ministry says.The ongoing Israeli incursion into the northern Gaza Strip and attacks on Kamal Adwan Hospital reflect a disregard for humanity and international laws and conventions, the Palestinian group says.
“The Israeli occupation army has been carrying out successive attacks on Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, which resulted in the disruption of its electric generator, the oxygen and water networks, and the injury of 12 medical crews,” it said in a statement.
Hamas called on the international community to push for sanctions on Israel “that would oblige it to stop its aggression and violations of international laws and human values, and to work to end the criminal blockade and ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza”.
