Also the city Khan Younisin southern Gaza, faced heavy Israeli shelling. Wafa reports that there at least five dead have fallen, although there could be more: emergency services would not be able to reach more victims due to the continued Israeli attacks.

Bee Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon are two people were killed on Wednesday evening, according to Lebanese media. Hamas fired rockets from Lebanon at northern Israel.

“Enemy planes attacked the cities Siddiqin and Kafra killing two residents of the town of Kafra and wounding 14 others,” the Lebanese News Agency (NNA) reported.

The armed wing of Hamas, the al-Qassam brigades, claimed to have fired two rockets at two military sites in northern Israel. The attacks from southern Lebanon came “in response to Zionist massacres of civilians in the Gaza Strip” and the killing of a senior Hamas official in Lebanon early this year.

It said in a statement Israeli army that ten launches from Lebanon towards northern Israel were observed and that air raid sirens were sounded in the Kiryat Shmona region in the north of the country. “The air defenses succeeded in a number of cases intercept attacks” the army said, adding that it had also hit Lebanon itself.

Since the beginning of the war between Israel and the extremist Palestinian organization Hamas Daily fighting takes place on the Lebanese-Israeli border between the Shia Hezbollah and the Israeli army.

Now Israel the delays and often simply prevents land deliveries of humanitarian aid to Gaza, the United States is considering providing aid directly to the Palestinians in Gaza by air. This was reported by the American news platform ‘Axios’.

“The situation is really bad. We are unable to receive sufficient aid by truckso we have desperate measures are neededsuch as air deliveries,” said one of four anonymous US officials cited by Axios.

The fact that the US government would consider this step underlines, according to observers quoted by ‘Al Jazeera’, that the US has great difficulty in getting Israel to meet its demands.

According to the UN are the aid deliveries in the Gaza Strip fell sharply this month. On Wednesday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that in Northern Gaza, six children have died from extreme dehydration and malnutrition.

Israeli forces have reportedly attacked targets again near the Syrian capital Damascus. Two positions belonging to the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah and pro-Iranian militias were bombed on Wednesday evening, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported. The NGO distributes information about the Syrian conflict from the United Kingdom.

Four heavy explosions were reportedly heard in the area. According to various media, ambulances rushed to the scene with sirens blaring. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported casualties, while the Syrian Ministry of Defense said air defenses intercepted most of the missiles.

The Israeli military, for its part, declined to comment on the reports.

Since the start of the civil war in Syria in 2011, Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes in the country. These attacks have only increased since the start of the war with Hamas. In this way, Israel wants to prevent Iran from gaining even more of a foothold in Syria.

The political leader of Hamas has called for storming and entrenching themselves in the al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem at the start of Ramadan. The month of fasting starts on March 10.

According to Arab and Israeli media, Ismail Haniyeh said this in a pre-recorded video message. He mainly addressed the Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem, the occupied West Bank and Israel.

“The siege of al-Aqsa must end,” it said. The mosque is one of the most important holy places for Muslims and was built at the beginning of the eighth century. Israel has already indicated that it will allow worshipers to go to the mosque, but the number will remain limited.

The building, which can accommodate 5,000 people, has also become a symbol of resistance against the Israeli occupation in modern history. It has now been going on for 57 years.

A Hamas spokesman previously called the October 7 surprise attack the “al-Aqsa flood.” He was referring to the storming of the mosque by the Israeli police in May 2021.

Several countries and Hamas are currently negotiating a second ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. That ceasefire could coincide with Ramadan.

Haniyeh said Hamas is flexible but also willing to continue fighting. The American and Egyptian presidents have spoken positively about the chances of a quick agreement.

Hamas says it has fired dozens of rockets from Lebanon into northern Israel. The villages of Kiryat Shmona and Beit Hillel were targeted. According to the al-Qassam brigades, it was a retaliatory attack.

The air raid siren was active in those two places. Ten rockets are said to have hit the border between Lebanon and Israel, some of which were deflected, it said.

The Israeli army responded with shelling at the sites where the rockets were fired. Warplanes also targeted an arms depot and other military facilities of the Lebanese militia Hezbollah.
