The strike also killed a passing motorcyclist and injured two others, and comes amid an expansion of Israeli attacks beyond Gaza, including a pair of airstrikes in Lebanon targeting Hezbollah members.

Israeli Drone Strike Targets Hamas in Lebanon, Killing Two

An Israeli drone strike in Lebanon near the coastal town of Jadra killed two people, including Hamas official Basel Saleh, marking one of the deepest hits inside the country since violence erupted along the Lebanon-Israel border. Tensions across the Middle East have escalated with the Israel-Hamas war, US military strikes in Jordan, and attacks by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels. Iran's Foreign Minister called for an end to Israel's military operations in Gaza, while the US conducted self-defence strikes against threats in the Red Sea from Yemen. Israeli airstrikes also hit sites in Syria, and tensions have flared in Iraq following a US airstrike that killed a commander of Kataib Hezbollah.

Al Jazeera Seeks Justice for Slain Cameraman in Gaza, Takes Case to War Crimes Court

Al Jazeera is preparing to submit a legal file to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the killing of its cameraman, Samer Abu Daqqa, in Gaza. Abu Daqqa was reportedly killed by an Israeli drone strike while reporting on the bombing of a school used as a shelter for displaced people. Al Jazeera plans to include in the file recurrent attacks on its crews in the occupied Palestinian territories and instances of incitement against them. The Israeli army denies deliberately targeting journalists and states that remaining in an active combat zone carries inherent risks. The ICC already has an ongoing investigation into alleged crimes committed on Palestinian territory, and Israel does not recognize the court's jurisdiction.
