An Israeli airstrike on a former school turned shelter in Gaza City left seven people dead, Palestinian officials said.
A spokesperson for the Hamas-run civil defense agency also said there was “a number of wounded, including serious cases, as a result of Israeli shelling of Kafr Qasim school.”
The Kafr Qasim school belongs to the Al-Shati refugee camp, which lies in northern Gaza on the Mediterranean coast. The civil defense agency says hundreds of displaced Palestinians were sheltering there at the time of the strike.
Netanyahu: Israel ‘landed a series of blows on Hezbollah’
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a televised statement, where he said the Israeli military “landed a series of blows on Hezbollah” over the past few days.
“If Hezbollah did not get the message, I assure you it will get the message,” Netanyahu said.
“No country can tolerate attacks on its citizens, attacks on its cities. And we, the State of Israel, will not tolerate it either,” he remarked. Israel says fresh strikes hit Hezbollah launchers and military sites
The Israeli Air Force said that fighter jets on Sunday “attacked dozens of targets” this morning belonging to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, “including launchers and military sites.” Hezbollah rockets land further into Israel than before — reports
Over 100 rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel early Sunday, most of which were intercepted by Israeli air defense systems, the Israeli military said.
Some of the rockets landed near the northern city of Haifa where at least three people were wounded and cars and buildings were damaged, according to the Associated Press news agency.
Several buildings were struck, including a house near the Israeli city of Haifa, according to Reuters.
Rescue teams treated wounded but there were no reports of deaths. Residents had been instructed to stay near bomb shelters and safe rooms.
Hezbollah said it targeted the Israeli Ramat David Airbase with successive barrages of missiles, in the deepest strikes it has claimed since hostilities began.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) later added that fighter jets continued to strike “dozens of Hezbollah terror targets, including launchers and military structures in dozens of areas in southern Lebanon” on Sunday.
The IDF on Saturday struck some 290 sites in Lebanon — one of the most intense since the October 7 attacks.
