Two Israelis were injured as a result of the explosion of an explosive drone launched from Lebanon, as Hezbollah confirmed it attacked two military bases with swarms of suicide drones.

The body of journalist Ibrahim Muharab was found near Hamad City, northwest of Khan Yunis. Muharab went missing after Israeli forces targeted a group of journalists on Sunday.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, during his visit to Israel, that talks on Gaza may be the last chance to reach a truce and return the detainees.

According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 40,139 Palestinians have been killed, and 92,743 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7.
