The heads of the major UN agencies called the unfolding situation in the northern Gaza Strip “apocalyptic” on Friday, warning that its entire population was at “imminent risk” of death.
Lebanon‘s health ministry said 52 people had been killed in Israeli strikes on Friday in the country’s east, attacks for which the Israeli army had not issued evacuation warnings.
The Israeli military announced on Friday it killed senior Hamas official Izz al-Din Kassab, one of the last high-ranking members of Hamas responsible for coordinating with other groups in the Gaza Strip, in an airstrike in Khan Younis.
A Hamas official said Friday the group received a proposal from mediators Egypt and Qatar for a short-term truce in Gaza and rejected it as it did not include a lasting ceasefire.
