An Israeli drone strike Wednesday in southern Lebanon killed two people, including a member of the Hamas militant group.
The strike hit a car outside the city of Tyre, near the Mediterranean coast. Lebanese state media identified the Hamas members as being from the Rashidieh refugee camp, an area where the militant group has a notable presence.
Israel’s military also reported Wednesday carrying out airstrikes in the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis and ground operations in central Gaza as they pursue Israel’s goal of eliminating Hamas.
The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza reported Wednesday 88 more Palestinians killed in Israel’s offensive during the past day. Since the war began in early October, the total number of Palestinians killed is at least 31,272, with another 73,000 injured, according to the ministry.
Israeli forces late Tuesday shot dead two Palestinians in the village of al-Jib, near Jerusalem, after Israeli police said a group of five Palestinians were hurling firebombs at a highway.
In a separate incident, Israeli forces shot dead a 12-year-old boy during clashes at a refugee camp on the outskirts of Jerusalem.
