Israeli strikes have killed 53 people across the Gaza Strip since dawn on Sunday. At least 46 of them were killed in the north as Israel tightened its siege with bombings on residential areas and mass arrests
Dozens of Palestinians have been killed after an Israeli strike destroyed several buildings in a residential area of Beit Lahiya in besieged northern Gaza. Palestinians were forced to dig through the rubble to find those trapped, as civil defence teams have been barred by Israel from operating in the north.
Oxfam's Gaza food security and livelihood leader, Mahmoud al-Saqqa, joined Al Jazeera from Deir el-Bala, discussing the escalating humanitarian crisis. Al-Saqqa outlined severe shortages of food, medicine, and essentials, worsened by Israeli bombardments and border closures. He highlighted that more than 90% of Gaza's population now faces acute food insecurity, and children are increasingly malnourished. Aid entry has been minimal, particularly into northern Gaza, where severe restrictions leave residents with few options but displacement. Al-Saqqa emphasised that humanitarian workers are risking their lives daily, calling for international action against the use of food as a weapon.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made his first comments about the “malignant” Israeli attack on Iran early Saturday in a meeting with the families of the four members of the armed forces who were killed. The Israelis try to make the impact of the strikes appear larger than reality, but any move inside Iran to make them appear smaller would also be “wrong”, he said. “It would be wrong for us to say that it was nothing and it did not matter,” Khamenei said. “The calculation error of the Zionist regime must be disrupted. They do not know Iran, its youth, its nation. They have not yet been able to fully comprehend the power, capabilities, initiative and will of the Iranian nation, we must make them understand it.” Khamenei also opened a Hebrew account on X after the Israeli strikes.
At least 40 people have been injured some critically after a truck crashed into bus station in Glilot, north of Tel Aviv. There are reports that several people are trapped under the bus. Israeli media says the driver was shot.

She says the humanitarian crisis there has worsened, with extreme shortages of water, food and medical supplies.

The Health Ministry says one apartment block was destroyed in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya town. Palestinians are trapped under the debris after Israeli air strikes and rescue operations are continuing. The attack is a “horrific massacre”, the ministry said.
Hind Khoudary reporting from Deir al Balah, Gaza Strip. She says, "We don’t have any idea what happened to the detained medical staff and patients. All we know is Israeli forces withdrew a little, repositioning a couple of metres from Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. But we still don’t know what happened to the medical personnel. We don’t know what happened to those injured people. It was a very tough night. However, we do know that two children died in the ICU after the generator failed and the oxygen system was hit by Israeli forces, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The ministry also said all medical staff arrested by the Israeli military during an operation at Kamal Adwan Hospital were held without food or water. This has been going on for more than three weeks. Not just at this facility, but at the Indonesian and al-Awda hospitals which were also under siege."
As we have been reporting, several loud explosions have been reported on the outskirts of Tehran. The Israeli military has now confirmed that it is conducting attacks on military targets. Here’s the full statement, published by Israel’s Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee: The [Israeli military] is currently attacking with precision military targets in Iran in response to the Iranian regime’s ongoing attacks against the State of Israel over the past few months. The [Israeli military] is on alert offensively and defensively as we follow developments from Iran and its proxies. The [Israeli military] is conducting an ongoing situational assessment and at this stage, there has been no change in the Home Front Command’s instructions. We must continue to be vigilant and obey the instructions of the Home Front Command in order to inform the public of any new developments immediately.
The situation at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza has only worsened since Israel’s siege there. Al Jazeera’s Nada Qaddourah looks at how Israel’s relentless attacks have crippled the north’s health system.
Frank Smyth, founder of Global Journalist Security and long-time press freedom advocate, joined Al Jazeera live from Leesburg, Virginia, to discuss the unprecedented dangers facing journalists in Gaza. He highlighted that more journalists have been killed there in the past year than in any other conflict, with the majority being local reporters covering their own communities. Smyth emphasized evidence of direct targeting of journalists and the impact of indiscriminate bombings, which have claimed many lives, including those of media professionals.
Al Jazeera’s Imran Khan reports live from Hasbaiyya, southern Lebanon. He says at around 4am, an Israeli—either an air strike or a drone strike—came into the compound where journalists are being housed in a series of villas. Khan reports that we are hearing that three people have been killed—two cameramen and a technician. He says that we are not naming the people or the organisations that they work for. But, suffice to say, these are the people that I have been working with almost every single day. We’ve all been doing our jobs here in Hasbaiyya.
Video from the besieged northern Gaza Strip shows Israeli tanks firing shells at the Kamal Adwan Hospital. Kamal Adwan Hospital is one of the few remaining operational medical facilities and has been overwhelmed with casualties during the Israeli army’s 20-day ground incursion in the north. Sorry Cinema | DigiDocs Palestinian filmmaker Ahmad Hassouna says ‘sorry’ to cinema as he puts his dreams of becoming a director aside to document his life under Israeli bombardment. Hussam Abu Safia, director at the Kamal Adwan Hospital, told Al Jazeera the Israeli attack caused severe damage to the facility’s intensive care unit.
Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud reports from Deir el-Balah, central Gaza. He says the Israeli military carried out a major attack on al-Hawaja Street, in the western part of Jabalia, causing a sheer level of destruction. He added that at least a dozen residential buildings were blown up. Mahmoud reports that based on an assessment by the civil defence agency, an estimated 150 people were either killed or wounded. He says rescue teams are unable to approach the bomb site to bring the injured to the hospital.
Al Jazeera has strongly rejected a claim by the Israeli military that six of its journalists based in Gaza are members of the Palestinian groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). The media network on Wednesday vehemently condemned the “unfounded allegations” by the Israeli army, which in a post on X described some of the named Al Jazeera Arabic correspondents as “operatives” working for Hamas’s armed wing to promote the group’s “propaganda” in the besieged and bombarded enclave. The six named journalists are Anas al-Sharif, Talal Aruki, Alaa Salama, Hossam Shabat, Ismail Farid and Ashraf Saraj. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said on X that Israel had “repeatedly made similar unproven claims without producing credible evidence”. The press freedom watchdog noted that the Israeli military had “produced a similar document” after killing Al Jazeera Arabic journalist Ismail al-Ghoul in July, containing “contradictory information showing that [al-Ghoul], born in 1997, received a Hamas military ranking in 2007 – when he would have been 10 years old”.
Israeli air defences intercepted a number of rockets over Tel Aviv on Wednesday. Israel says they were fired from Lebanon. Warning sirens sounded across the city. Hezbollah says it was targeting the suburbs of Tel Aviv. Civilian flights were temporarily halted at Ben Gurion International Airport.
The Sahel hospital in Beirut, which the Israeli military bombed on Monday, was not “a legitimate target”, says Omar Nashabe, a criminal justice analyst and a former human rights adviser to the Lebanese government. The targeting of a hospital with civilians inside is a “war crime”, he told Al Jazeera. “It is the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court to look into these crimes and prosecute those who actually commit these crimes,” Nashabe said.
Al Jazeera's Dorsa Jabbari reports form Beirut, Lebanon. She says that what we know so far is that Israel carried out at least 11 air strikes in the past hour on various areas in the southern suburb and its nearby neighbourhoods. She added that what is clear is this is one of the most intense evenings we’ve seen in the southern part of Lebanon’s capital in recent weeks. Jabbari says that hat we had heard from the Israeli military earlier was a forced evacuation threat issued for four buildings in Dahiyeh before the strikes happened. But before that, several strikes, at least three, took place without warning.
