Israel Launches Airstrikes in Lebanon, Claiming to Target Hezbollah and Hamas
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel launched airstrikes in southern and eastern Lebanon, claiming to
target Hezbollah and Hamas infrastructure. Lebanon's Health Ministry
said a drone strike on a car in the south of Lebanon on Monday wounded
two people. Israel has continued its attacks on Lebanon despite a
U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel back in 2024.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, Israeli forces hit a tent housing displaced people
in the Mawasi area northwest of Khan Younis, killing a 5-year-old girl
and her uncle and wounding two other children. Israeli forces also shot
a child in the head in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza, close to the yellow
line that separates Israeli-controlled areas from the rest of Gaza.
