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 death toll may rise, with 17 people still missing.
Hezbollah announced Sheikh Naim Kassem as its new leader, following the death of Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike last month. Kassem pledged to continue fighting Israel, maintaining the group's longstanding policies.
Israel's parliament passed laws restricting the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, raising concerns about humanitarian aid in Gaza. Aid groups warn that this could lead to a collapse of the humanitarian system, affecting millions of Palestinian refugees.
