Israel launches multiple airstrikes on southern Lebanon, killing Hezbollah commander
TEL AVIV — Israel has launched multiple strikes on southern Lebanon over the last day, including one that killed a senior Hezbollah commander.Mohammed Qassem Al-Shaer, a commander of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force, was killed in a strike on the village of Qaraoun in the western Beqaa district on Tuesday, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).The IDF said Al-Shaer had “advanced numerous terrorist activities against the state of Israel” and his “elimination” would impair the Iran-backed militant group’s ability to launch attacks against Israel from southern Lebanon.Hezbollah confirmed Al-Shaer had been killed and said it responded to his killing by launching “dozens” of Katyusha rockets and several drones toward two locations in northern Israel.No casualties were...

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar
Israeli official floats safe passage for Yahya Sinwar in return for hostages
WASHINGTON — An Israeli official has floated the possibility of offering Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar safe passage out of Gaza, once all remaining hostages held in the Palestinian territory are released.Israel’s Coordinator for Hostages and the Missing Gal Hirsch told CNN’s Jessica Dean on Sunday that if all remaining 101 hostages are returned, “I even believe that we will agree to build safe passage to the chief terrorist ... Sinwar – safe passage to him and whoever he wants to join him out of Gaza.”Hirsch said those conditions, along with Gaza being “demilitarized and deradicalized,” could help recover Gaza and end the war.On Tuesday, Hirsch elaborated on the idea in an interview with Bloomberg, saying Israel has already proposed safe passage to Sinwar.“I’m ready to...

Blinken slams Israel after IDF says its forces likely killed American activist
WASHINGTON — US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has called for “fundamental changes” to the way Israeli forces operate in the occupied West Bank after the killing of American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi at a protest last week.Blinken’s sharply worded rebuke came after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Tuesday that it was “highly likely” that Eygi was “hit indirectly and unintentionally by IDF fire.”In its initial inquiry into the incident, the IDF said that the shot was not aimed at the activist, but at “the key instigator” of a “violent riot” at the Beita Junction where it said Palestinians burned tires and hurled rocks at Israeli security forces. It didn’t name the alleged instigator.The International Solidarity Movement (ISM), with whom Eygi had been...

GAZA — At least 40 people have been killed in an overnight Israeli strike on a humanitarian zone created to shelter displaced people in southern Gaza, according to local rescue officials, in what Israel has said was an operation targeting Hamas fighters in the area.More than 60 people were also wounded in the strike, according to the Gaza Civil Defense, as rescuers raced to recover victims buried under sand and debris.The group said its crews were facing “great difficulty” in retrieving victims, many of whom were believed to have been sleeping at the time of the strikes, due to a lack of resources and paucity of light.The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Monday evening that it “struck significant Hamas terrorists who were operating within a command-and-control center embedded...

Gaza’s humanitarian crisis hits new lows as sanitary conditions plummet
GAZA — A 14-year-old boy lies in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah, Gaza Strip, severely burned from an Israeli airstrike. Doctors say nearly his entire body is affected. His wounds have now become infested with maggots.“(He has) advanced second- and third-degree burns covering 80% to 90% of his body,” Dr. Mahmoud Yousef Mughani, a doctor specializing in reconstructive surgery and burns, told CNN. Due to a shortage of sterilization supplies, his wounds can’t be cleaned properly.When the boy’s dressings are changed, maggots fall to the floor. This happens every time, Dr. Mughani said.There’s nowhere else for the boy to go. According to the United Nations, an estimated 12,000 patients are waiting to leave Gaza to receive urgently needed medical care, but medical...

Blinken stresses ‘decisive moment’ for ceasefire deal 
TEL AVIV — The push to finalize a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza has reached a “decisive moment,” the United States’ top diplomat said Monday as Hamas and the Israeli prime minister expressed skepticism about progress in talks.This is “probably the best, maybe the last, opportunity to get the hostages home, to get a ceasefire and to put everyone on a better path to enduring peace and security,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a news conference alongside Israeli President Isaac Herzog in Tel Aviv before the two met.“It is time for everyone to get to yes, and to not look for any excuses to say no,” Blinken said. “It is time for it to get done.
