Beirut – Hezbollah’s senior commander Wissam al-Taweel was killed in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon. He is the deputy commander of Iran-backed Hezbollah’s Radwan forces. The bomb fell on the vehicle Taweel was traveling in in the border village of Lebanon. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken met with the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the UAE yesterday to discuss diplomacy to prevent the spread of war. Will arrive in Israel today.
After the attack on Gaza started on October 7, the conflict with Hezbollah on the northern border of Israel became heavy. Last week, Hamas deputy leader Salih al-Aruri was killed in an Israeli drone strike in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.
Meanwhile, 249 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza in the last 24 hours; 510 people were injured. 23,084 Palestinians, including 9,600 children, have been killed in the 3-month war. 59,000 people were injured. Heavy shelling and shelling continue in central and southern Gaza. Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, the main hospital in central Gaza, has been shelled repeatedly, causing health workers and patients to flee along with the asylum seekers.
Volunteers including Doctors Without Borders had left this place last week. The World Health Organization said there was no information on the whereabouts of 600 patients and health workers in the hospital. Only a few hospitals in southern Gaza are now at least partially functional.
Medical aid: WHO abandons mission
The World Health Organization has announced that it has canceled a mission to bring medical aid to northern Gaza due to security concerns. This is the fourth time in the last 20 days that WHO has abandoned efforts to deliver medicines due to heavy bombardment. Heavy shelling continues in the Jabalia refugee camp area even as the Israeli army claims victory over Hamas in northern Gaza.
