Israel Gaza, Lebanon strikes

In the al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, one civilian was shot dead. Several other areas, including Khan Yunis and Gaza City, also came under fire.

According to the Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least 391 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire took effect on October 11th.
