Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza kills at least 60 as Hezbollah names new leader
Summary: An Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza killed at least 60 people, including many women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. The strike targeted a building where displaced Palestinians were sheltering. The military has been conducting operations in the area for over three weeks.
Hezbollah announced Sheikh Naim Kassem as its new leader, succeeding Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli strike last month. Kassem, a founding member of Hezbollah, pledged to continue the group's fight against Israel.
Israel's parliament passed laws restricting the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, which provides vital aid in Gaza. The agency's future operations are uncertain, raising concerns about humanitarian support for the displaced population amid ongoing conflict.
