The death toll in Gaza has now exceeded 6,200 as Israeli bombardments continue. In the past 24 hours alone, 24 more Palestinians have been killed. Meanwhile, in southern Lebanon, an Israeli drone strike injured two people, including a child.

According to hospital sources cited by Al Jazeera, among the 24 Palestinians killed since early morning, 11 were waiting for humanitarian aid. On Monday alone, at least 95 people were killed across Gaza due to Israeli attacks. Gaza's Ministry of Health reported that since the breakdown of the ceasefire with Hamas on March 18, a total of 6,203 people have been killed and 21,609 injured. The mounting civilian casualties and deepening humanitarian crisis have triggered global concern.

In another incident, Lebanon’s Ministry of Health confirmed that an Israeli drone strike in the Jabal al-Ahmar area of Nabatieh district left a child and one adult with minor injuries. The strike hit a house near a roadside, though the Israeli military has yet to comment on the incident. Despite a ceasefire with Hezbollah, Israel continues to launch regular strikes inside Lebanon.

The United Nations and several human rights organizations have strongly condemned Israeli attacks on civilians in Gaza and have called for an immediate ceasefire. However, Israel maintains that its actions are acts of self-defense. These latest developments highlight the widening instability and intensifying conflict across the Middle East.
