Defining the News

Palestinian boys sit by salvaged items on a damaged walkway on a road at al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip on June 26, 2024, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas militant group. The outgoing United Nations humanitarian chief warned Wednesday that a spread of the Israel-Hamas war to Lebanon would be “potentially apocalyptic”, as fighting raged in the southern Gaza Strip.

Germany on Wednesday echoed a Canadian warning from the day before, urging their citizens in Lebanon to leave the country. However, Israeli bombardment in Gaza appeared to ease days after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war’s “intense phase” was nearing its end, and as his defence minister was in Washington.

Top Israeli officials, including the premier, have indicated openness to a diplomatic resolution of the Lebanon border tensions, though Gallant said Israel should be ready for “every possible scenario”. The civil defence agency and medics said at least four people, including three children, were killed in a strike on a house in Beit Lahia, in the north.

Israel’s military said Wadiya had “developed and advanced the terrorist organisation’s rocket array”.
