At least 34 people have been killed, and dozens are missing after an Israeli airstrike hit a five-storey residential building in Beit Lahia, Gaza, on Sunday, according to Gaza’s civil defense agency.
Mahmud Bassal, a spokesman for the agency, reported that the chances of rescuing more survivors were decreasing due to continuous shelling. Additional attacks on refugee camps and the southern city of Rafah resulted in more deaths, with civilian casualties mounting across the region.

In neighboring Lebanon, Hezbollah spokesman Mohammed Afif was killed in an Israeli strike, marking a rare attack outside Hezbollah’s strongholds. Additionally, Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon targeted villages and military positions, killing two Lebanese soldiers.
