The death toll in Israeli raids on several areas in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours has risen to at least 99 Palestinians killed and 169 injured, according to the Health Ministry.
Bombings targeted the Nuseirat, Bureij and Maghazi camps, Gaza City in the north, and Rafah and Khan Yunis in the south, the Al Jazeera Arabic channel reported.
One person was killed and others were injured due to an Israeli raid west of the Nuseirat camp after Israeli forces intensified air and artillery bombardment of the camp and its surroundings.
Israeli gunboats also participated in the bombing of areas north of the Nuseirat camp, which on Wednesday witnessed a raid targeting a school belonging to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), resulting in scores killed and wounded.

Palestinians were injured early on Thursday as a result of artillery shelling that targeted a school housing displaced people east of Al-Maghazi camp.
Israeli aircraft also bombed a tent inside a school operating as a shelter in Deir al-Balah in the center of Gaza, killing one person.
School, Orphanage Bombed
On Wednesday, Israeli forces shelled a house in Gaza City, killing a child and injuring two Palestinians, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
Earlier in the day ten civilians were killed and 27 others injured in Israeli airstrikes on the Nuseirat and Al-Bureij refugee camps in the central Strip.
Three civilians were also killed in a raid on the destroyed town of Khuza’a, east of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, reported WAFA.
While in Khan Younis, more than 40 civilians, mostly women and children, were killed in airstrikes, and scores were injured.
Medical sources told WAFA that emergency crews retrieved bodies from the rubble following intensive air strikes that targeted the southeastern areas of Khan Younis, including the neighborhoods of Maan, Qizan al-Najjar, and al-Manara.
Also on Wednesday, nine civilians were killed and about 20 others were injured in an airstrike on the Muscat school and the Al-Amal orphanage housing displaced people in Gaza City.
Ongoing Genocide
Israel continues to defy a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire and has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza.
Currently on trial before the International Court of Justice for genocide against Palestinians, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 41,788 Palestinians have, to date, been killed, and 96,794 wounded.
Moreover, at least 11,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
Israel says that 1,200 soldiers and civilians were killed during the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation on October 7. Israeli media published reports suggesting that many Israelis were killed on that day by ‘friendly fire’.
Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
Famine and Displacement
The Israeli war has resulted in an acute famine, mostly in northern Gaza, resulting in the death of many Palestinians, mostly children.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
Later in the war, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians began moving from the south to central Gaza in a constant search for safety.
“We share the position of the United Nations that any Israeli crossing into Lebanon violates the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon and contravenes the provisions of Security Council Resolution 1701.”
China has warned that Israel’s “total disregard” for the call for an immediate ceasefire in its military operations in the Middle East, meant that an “all-out war” was on the brim of breaking out.
“Israel, in total disregard of the call of the international community for an immediate ceasefire, has been stubbornly advancing its military operations, resulting in the protraction and expansion of the conflict,” China’s Ambassador Fu Cong told the UN Security Council briefing on the Lebanese-Israeli situation on Wednesday.
“At present, an all-out war is on the brim of breaking out,” he warned, adding that “At this critical juncture, any inflammatory statements and provocative actions are extremely dangerous.
“They could easily lead to miscalculations and chain reactions, escalate the situation, and even make it completely out of control.”
‘Sovereignty, Territorial Integrity’
The ambassador pointed out that over the past two weeks, the situation in the Middle East, Lebanon in particular, “has taken a sharp turn for the worse.”

“Following the remotely operated and simultaneous detonation of thousands of communications devices in Lebanon, Israel carried out several rounds of large-scale airstrikes in southern and eastern Lebanon, and launched ground offensive and military incursion into Lebanon yesterday,” he stated.
Israel also intensified airstrikes against Syria. Iran has concluded a series of military attacks on the military and security targets of Israel, Fu continued.
“We share the position of the United Nations that any Israeli crossing into Lebanon violates the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon and contravenes the provisions of Security Council Resolution 1701,” the ambassador stated.
‘Deescalation’
He emphasized that the Security Council “bears the primary responsibility” for the maintenance of international peace and security.

“Under the current circumstances, the Council must take urgent actions and be united in making clear and unequivocal demands: an immediate ceasefire must be established in Gaza; the de-escalation of the Lebanese-Israeli situation must be advanced to stop the cycle of violence; every effort must be made to prevent the spread of the fighting; and the parties concerned must return to the track of political and diplomatic solutions,” Fu stated.
He pointed out that the current situation was “hanging by a thread,” and that “any passive procrastination would be irresponsible, and any rhetoric of condoning further military adventurism would send a wrong message and could cause serious consequences.
“We hope major countries with influence will adopt a sincere and responsible attitude and earnestly play a constructive role to avoid further escalation of the situation.”
‘Failed Policy’ – Russia
Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Wednesday also said that Israel’s war on Gaza and Lebanon is evolving into a “major regional war” and criticized the United States for its “failed policy” on the Middle East.
Zakharova said at a press conference in Moscow, that the US’s “failed policy” is the reason behind the current escalation, since Washington deters the work of the United Nations Security Council by vetoing resolutions that request Israel to stop its war on Gaza.
“We have repeatedly noted that the Hamas attacks on October 7 deserve every condemnation, but a year later we see that it has become an occasion, literally a pretext for collective punishment not only of Palestinians in Gaza, where millions of Palestinians are being punished, tens of thousands of whom are already dead, but now also Lebanese, Syrians, Yemenis,” she reportedly said.
Since September 23, Israel launched massive airstrikes across Lebanon that have killed more than 1,000 people, including Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and injured over 2,950, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. This week, the Israeli military also launched a ground invasion this week, attempting to infiltrate Lebanese territory.
“It’s tragic what’s going on. There are obviously stresses, and the real issue then is how they might interact with some still quite stretched markets in places.”
The Bank of England is monitoring the escalating crisis in the Middle East “extremely closely”, amid growing fears that a worsening conflict between Iran and Israel could severely disrupt global oil supplies and trigger a 1970s-style energy shock, The Guardian has reported.
In an interview with the paper, the Bank’s governor, Andrew Bailey, warned that while the central bank remains vigilant, there were limits to what can be done to stabilize oil prices if the situation “got really bad”.
Highlighting the fragility of the global economy in the face of geopolitical turmoil, he said “Geopolitical concerns are very serious.”
Oil prices rose by three percent following this week’s invasion of southern Lebanon by Israeli forces and Iran’s retaliatory ballistic missile attack on Tel Aviv.
Bailey said, “It’s tragic what’s going on. There are obviously stresses and the real issue then is how they might interact with some still quite stretched markets in places.”
Potential to Escalate
Market concerns are mounting over the potential for the conflict to escalate and disrupt crude supplies from the region, a key source of global energy.
“Geopolitical concerns are very serious,” Bailey said. “It’s tragic what’s going on. There are obviously stresses, and the real issue then is how they might interact with some still quite stretched markets in places.”
‘It’s tragic’: Bank of England governor watching Middle East crisis closely https://t.co/asaBiXJZpG
Bailey noted that since October 7, the past year has not seen a sharp spike in oil prices, which has been a relief for monetary policymakers.
“From the point of view of monetary policy, it’s a big help we haven’t had to deal with a big increase in the oil price. But obviously we’ve had that experience in the past, and in the 1970s, the oil price was a big part of the story,” Bailey said, referring to the dramatic rise in oil prices during that decade, which caused significant economic disruption.
He acknowledged, however, that the situation remains volatile, saying “We watch it extremely closely to see the impact of the latest news.
“My sense from all the conversations I have with counterparts in the region is that, for the moment, there is a strong commitment to keep the market stable. But there’s also recognition that there’s a point beyond which that control could break down if things got really bad.”
Credit Rating Lowered
Global credit ratings agency Standard & Poor’s (S&P) downgraded Israel’s long-term rating from ‘A+’ to ‘A’ on Tuesday amid the escalating conflict.
Following a similar move by Moody’s last week, the rating agency cited risks to Israel’s economy and public finances from the ongoing warfare with Hezbollah and a possible conflict with Iran.
“We now consider that military activity in Gaza and an upsurge in fighting across Israel’s northern border — including a ground incursion into Lebanon — could persist into 2025, with risks of retaliation against Israel,” S&P said. “The latter in particular has been highlighted by a missile attack on Israel by Iran at the beginning of October.”
Hezbollah has announced that it had repelled several Israeli infiltration attempts into Lebanese territory since Tuesday, killing and wounding a number of soldiers and destroying several tanks.
This comes at the heels of a massive Iranian attack that targeted military bases across Israel and, per the admission of the Israeli media and military, resulted in serious damage.
Israel killed nine people and injured 14 others in a Beirut strike using internationally banned phosphorus bombs.
The Israeli army targeted early Thursday a residential area in Beirut using internationally prohibited white phosphorus bombs resulting in the death of nine people and the injury of 14 others, the Lebanese Ministry of Health announced.
According to the Lebanese news network Al-Mayadeen, the Israeli airstrike hit a center for the Islamic Health Society in a residential building in the Bachoura neighborhood in Beirut.
Later in the day, the Islamic Health Society confirmed the hit and mourned “seven martyrs” who it said were killed in the Israeli airstrike on the Beirut locality of Zqaq el-Blat, according to the Lebanese National News Agency (NNA).

The Society said identified the slain medics as Raja Ramez Zreik, Mahdi Adnan Helbawi, Wissam Mahmoud Salhab, Ahmad Mohammad Hayek, Mostafa Ali Moussawi, Sajed Shawki Sherri, and Hassan Ali Khansa.
This is the second time Israel has hit a residential area in the capital that is not in the proximity of the southern district of Beirut, which has been subjected to heavy bombardment since the start of the Israeli aggression on Lebanon.
The first strike targeted a residential building early on September 30 in the Cola neighborhood killing three members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), including two senior leaders.
Targeting of Paramedics
Since the start of its aggression on Lebanon two weeks ago, Israel has repeatedly targeted paramedics across the country including 14 emergency health workers who were killed in airstrikes over the last weekend.
On Monday alone, six paramedics from the Islamic Health Organization were killed in Bekaa.
Israel has extensively used white phosphorus bombs in its one-year-long genocide on Gaza and in the south of Lebanon and it was used this morning in its latest attack in the Bachoura neighborhood in Beirut.
White phosphorus is a substance that burns at very high temperatures when exposed to air, can continue to burn inside flesh, causes horrific pain and serious injury, and cannot be extinguished by water.
Phosphorous bombs are internationally prohibited under the Geneva Convention of 1980, which prohibits the use of white phosphorus as an incendiary weapon against humans and the environment.
Border War
Since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, on October 7, 2023, the Lebanese movement Hezbollah has engaged directly, but relatively in a limited way in the war against the Israeli occupation.
Israel escalated its aggression with the cyber-terror attacks on September 17 and 18, which claimed the lives of at least 37 people including children, and injured around 3000 others.
This went hand in hand with a series of assassinations of Hezbollah leaders, the last of which was that of the Secretary-General of the resistance party Hassan Nasrallah on September 27.
These developments coincided with unprecedented bombings and airstrikes by Israel’s army on different cities across Lebanon particularly in the south, Bekaa and the southern district of Beirut.
The Ministry of Health indicated on Thursday that 1974 people were killed including 127 children, 261 women, and 9384 others were injured since the start of the Israeli aggression on Lebanon.
Israel has occupied parts of Lebanon for decades and has only left the country in 2000, following stiff Lebanese resistance under Hezbollah’s leadership.
Israel attempted to re-occupy Lebanon in 2006 but failed in what Lebanon considers a major victory against Israel.
Israel, however, continues to occupy parts of Lebanon, namely the Sheeba Farms region.
Hezbollah has vowed to recover every inch of Lebanon that has been occupied by Israel contrary to international law.
Yahya Saree announced that the drones reached their objective undetected, marking a successful execution of the mission.
The military spokesperson for the Ansarallah group, Yahya Saree, announced a significant escalation in the group’s operations, revealing that five drones targeted Tel Aviv at dawn on Thursday.
Saree, speaking via the Al Masirah TV, confirmed that the operation successfully hit a vital target in the occupied city of Jaffa.
He emphasized that the drones reached their objective undetected, marking a successful execution of the mission.
According to Saree, this attack is part of the fifth phase of the ‘Promised Conquest and Holy Jihad’ battle, underscoring the group’s commitment to continuing such operations until Israeli aggression on Gaza and Lebanon ceases.
The Israeli military acknowledged the arrival of two drones, one of which it claims to have intercepted near Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv.
Israeli media confirmed that a total of five drones were launched from Yemen, with some intercepted in the airspace over Tel Aviv, causing explosions at low altitudes.
This event adds to a growing number of attacks Ansarallah has launched against Israel in recent months.
Quds 5 Missiles
Just a day prior, Ansarallah’s missile force claimed responsibility for targeting Israel’s Nevatim airbase and the Rotem industrial zone in the Naqab with advanced Quds 5 cruise missiles, revealed for the first time during this operation.
The group reported that the missile strikes were precise, successfully hitting their designated targets. The unveiling of the Quds 5 missile marked a turning point in the conflict, as Ansarallah showcased its enhanced missile capabilities, further demonstrating its ability to strike deep within Israeli territory.
According to Ansarallah military sources, the Quds 5 missile is capable of reaching any location in occupied Palestine, signaling an increased threat to Israeli defenses.
The escalation comes amid broader military and political developments in the region. Ansarallah, alongside other resistance groups in Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq, views these operations as legitimate responses to Israeli military actions, particularly the ongoing assaults on Gaza and Lebanon.
In Solidarity with Palestine
The Yemeni Armed Forces, affiliated with the Ansarallah movement, began targeting Israeli-linked ships in October 2023.
This move was part of their broader strategy to pressure Israel to end its war on Gaza.
Ansarallah warned that any ship they identified as associated with Israeli interests would be a target, regardless of its nationality or destination. These operations included drone and missile attacks on commercial vessels traversing the Red Sea, contributing to significant disruptions in global shipping and trade routes.
The escalation continued through 2024, with attacks intensifying.
June 2024 saw the largest number of Ansarallah attacks on ships in the Red Sea, with 16 confirmed incidents, as they aimed to support Palestinians under siege by targeting Israeli-linked ships.
The group has used various weapons, including seaborne drones and missiles, to strike vessels, sometimes causing substantial damage and even sinking ships.
Ansarallah’s attacks on maritime traffic are framed as acts of solidarity with Palestinians and are expected to continue until the blockade on Gaza is lifted.
The Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian criticized Western powers for their empty promises to his country during a meeting with Hamas’ Political Bureau in Qatar on Wednesday.
Pezeshkian told the Hamas delegation on the sideline of the Asia Cooperation Dialogue summit for which he arrived in the Qatari capital, that Western countries made empty promises to Tehran, urging it to show restrain in the prospect of a ceasefire in the besieged Gaza Strip, Al-Mayadeen reported.
The Iranian president emphasized that Iran’s missile attack on Israel Tuesday night came in response to the ongoing Israeli crimes, warning that if Tel Aviv is to make the “slightest mistake” it should be prepared for “an even harsher response,” he said according to Al-Mayadeen.
Pezeshkian revealed to the Hamas delegation that the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was one of the most painful events in his life, “as he was a guest at my inauguration ceremony.”

A day earlier following the Iranian missile attack on Israel, Pezeshkian defended his country’s “legitimate self-defense rights”, stressing that they were a “decisive response” to Israel’s “aggression”.
Pezeshkian went on to say in a statement published on X that the missile attacks were “in defense of the interests and citizens of Iran.”
“Let Netanyahu know that Iran is not a belligerent, but it stands firmly against any threat. This is only a corner of our power,” the Iranian president said according to the statement.
“Do not enter into a conflict with Iran,” he warned.
True Promise 2
Hundreds of Iranian missiles rained all over Israel on Tuesday, though reportedly aiming for military and strategic targets.
The Iranian missiles, many of which have reached their intended targets, were concentrated in two major areas: the Tel Aviv-Yaffa region and the Naqab, where many Israeli military bases are situated.
According to the Israeli army, sirens were activated in nearly 1,500 areas throughout the country.
Following the attack, Major General Mohammed Bagheri, the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, advised Israel of restraint.
“If the Zionist regime is not restrained and acts against Iran, we will target all its infrastructure,” he warned.
Bagheri revealed that Iran has endured “a difficult period of restraint” following the assassination of the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas, in Tehran Ismail Haniyeh after repeated requests from the United States and Europe to allow for a ceasefire in Gaza.
“However, after the martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and General Nilforoushan, the situation became unbearable,” he stated.
“There have been times where there have been extremely tense situations between the secretary general and various member states, but I don’t recall this kind of language”. – Stephane Dujarric
The United Nations spokesperson Stephane Dujarric labeled on Wednesday the Israeli declaration of the UN Secretary-General António Guterres as “persona non grata” as another attack on the staff of the international organization by Israel.
The UN spokesperson revealed that this is not unprecedented since other countries have declared other UN officials as “persona non grata” although he has never witnessed such a statement during his 24-year-long career.
“There have been times where there have been extremely tense situations between the secretary general and various member states, but I don’t recall this kind of language,” Dujarric said according to the Anadolu news agency.

He emphasized nonetheless, that the international organization does not “recognize the concept of persona non grata applies to its staff.”
Dujarric stressed that the Israeli decision is a political statement.
“We see this announcement as a political statement, more than a legal one,” Dujarric emphasized while pointing out that the Secretary-General travels to a country only when invited.
“We saw this announcement this morning, which we see as a political statement by the (Israeli) Prime Minister (Benjamin Netanyahu),” Dujarric said, while welcoming the support of the members of the UN Security Council for Guterres during the session on the Middle East.
He added: “Just one more attack on UN staff that we’ve seen from the government of Israel.”
Dujarric vowed nonetheless that the UN will continue to cooperate and maintain contact with Israel “at the operational level and other levels.”
Persona Non Grata
Israel officially declared on Wednesday the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres as ‘persona non grata’, banning him from entering Israel, Israeli media reported.
The announcement came with a post on X by Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz. Katz said the ban is due to Guterres’s failure to “unequivocally condemn” Iran’s missile attack on Israel.
“Anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran’s heinous attack on Israel, as almost every country in the world has done, does not deserve to step foot on Israeli soil,” Katz wrote.
“This is a Secretary-General who has yet to denounce the massacre” of October 7, Katz also said.
“A Secretary-General who gives backing to terrorists, rapists, and murderers from Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and now Iran—the mothership of global terror—will be remembered as a stain on the history of the UN,” the minister concluded.
Israeli officials have repeatedly demanded that Guterres resign, especially after the UN Secretary-General declared that the Al-Aqsa Flood operation “did not happen in a vacuum” and that “the Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.”

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova denounced the US policy in the Middle East saying its actions are escalating the situation in the region.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday that Israel’s war on Gaza and Lebanon is evolving into a “major regional war” and criticized the United States for its “failed policy” on the Middle East.
Zakharova said at a press conference in Moscow, that the US’s “failed policy” is the reason behind the current escalation, since Washington deters the work of the United Nations Security Council by vetoing resolutions that request Israel to stop its war on Gaza.
The spokeswoman added that the US’ continuous supply to Israel of weapons, ammunition, and intelligence does not help either as Washington must “perfectly realize that this will not lead to a settlement,” Anadolu news agency reported.
The spokeswoman noted nonetheless that the United Nations has the potential to put a halt to this conflict.
“If we speak about the UN’s potential, it has it. The unprecedented bloodshed that has been going on for almost a year in the Arab-Israeli conflict zone, which is escalating into a major regional war, requires a consolidated response from the international community. Where else but at the UN should this reaction be worked out,” she said in response to a question by Anadolu.
Zakharova revealed that there is wide consensus regarding the Palestinian cause at the General Assembly, signaling the US and Israel for always blocking any de-escalation efforts.
“We have repeatedly noted that the Hamas attacks on October 7 deserve every condemnation, but a year later we see that it has become an occasion, literally a pretext for collective punishment not only of Palestinians in Gaza, where millions of Palestinians are being punished, tens of thousands of whom are already dead, but now also Lebanese, Syrians, Yemenis,” the spokesperson was quoted by Anadolu as saying.
Zakharova revealed that the Russian Foreign Sergey Lavrov met earlier in the day with ambassadors of Arab countries in an urgent meeting they requested pointing out that the diplomats spoke “with horror” of the current situation “not because of panic or fear,” but due to their understanding and analysis of the potential consequences, according to Anadolu.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman added that many countries in the region including Egypt and Jordan were pushed to the forefront of the conflict.
Four things we learned following the Iranian retaliatory attack on Israel. And what is next?
On the human cost of the war, Zakharova said that the large number of humanitarian aid workers killed during the war, which stands at 300, is “the largest loss of humanitarian workers in one conflict in modern history.”
Zakharova made the comparison between the death toll in Palestine and Ukraine stressing that Palestinians killed and injured in the Gaza Strip “has long been more than twice the number of victims of the crisis in Ukraine in 10 years.”
“Is it fair to pronounce these numbers? As a human being, I don’t think that’s fair. But we are engaged in discussing political issues that are constantly referred to in international organizations by Westerners, primarily the US. If people in Ukraine are important to them, then other people should be important too?” she questioned.
The spokesperson added: “In this case, we are dealing with the number of victims that is already unprecedented in modern history. And those people were killed not in some kind of natural disaster, when the earth opened up and the city left, leaving only ruins, as was the case with the devastating earthquakes in Türkiye. We are dealing exclusively with man-made, criminal incitement of the crisis.”
Zakharova vowed that her country will continue to exert all efforts at the Security Council and the UN General Assembly, to de-escalate the situation and achieve a lasting peace on the basis of a two-state solution.
The military spomesman of the Yemeni Armed Forces announced that it targeted a vital target in occupied Yaffa (Tel Aviv) with a number of drones.
Israeli forces carried out airstrikes in Syria. Syrian and Russian air defenses dealt with hostile targets over the western sea.
Hezbollah continued to repel Israeli attempts to invade Lebanon.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza, 41,788 Palestinians have been killed, and 96,794 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7, 2023.
