Israeli airstrike kills at least 60 in northern Gaza building strike
Summary: An Israeli airstrike on a building in northern Gaza killed at least 60 people, including women and children, and left 17 missing. This incident adds to the rising death toll in Gaza, which has surpassed 43,000 since the conflict escalated.
Israeli lawmakers passed two laws that would cut ties with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), raising concerns about the agency's ability to provide essential services in Gaza and the West Bank. The laws do not take effect immediately.
Hezbollah in Lebanon has appointed Naim Kassem as the new leader, following the death of Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli strike. The U.N. Secretary-General warned that the new Israeli laws could severely impact humanitarian efforts for Palestinian refugees.
