Israel has launched a new round of attacks in both Gaza and Lebanon this week, raising instability of ceasefire agreements on two fronts.
In Gaza, at least 30 Palestinians were killed after a series of Israeli strikes on Wednesday and Thursday.
The Israel Defense Forces said the strikes were carried out in response from what they described as terrorists approaching Israeli troops operating across Gaza.
The escalation comes just days after the United Nations Security Council approved a U.S.-backed resolution supporting a roadmap for Gaza’s reconstruction, one that includes the creation of a transitional governing body and the deployment of an international stabilization force.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, 12 children and 8 women were among those killed, while 88 people were injured.
Since the truce took effect on October 10, Gaza’s death toll has now risen to 312.
Over the course of the two-year war, more than 69,000 Palestinians have been killed.
Israel also carried out strikes in Lebanon, targeting sites linked to the presence of Hamas and the reestablishing of assets from the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
On Tuesday, Nov. 18 Israel hit a Palestinian refugee camp, killing more than 10 people.
The IDF said the camp was being used as a Hamas training compound for planning attacks.
A day later, Israel hit what it described as Hezbollah weapons storage facilities, which they believed was a move to advance the terrorist activities of the militant group.
No casualties were reported, according to Al Jazeera.
Israel and Lebanon have been under a ceasefire since November 2024.
