Hezbollah in Lebanon launches rocket attacks on Israel, IDF says.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind behind the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, was killed this week in a firefight with Israeli forces, officials said.
The development comes as Israel continues intense air and ground campaigns against Hezbollah in Lebanon and against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The uptick in offensive operations came as Israeli leaders planned their response to Iran's latest ballistic missile attack.
The Israel Defense Forces wrote on X early Sunday that its warplanes "attacked about 175 terrorist targets in Gaza and Lebanon" over the previous 24 hours.
Among the facilities targeted were what the IDF called "weapons warehouses, launch shafts, military buildings and terror infrastructures" it said belonged to Hamas and Hezbollah.
The director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, in North Gaza said in a statement that the facility is receiving so many patients that "many of the injured have died due to the inability" to treat them.
Dr. Hossam Abu Safia said the hospital has been triaging the worst cases due to lack of staff and supplies.
He said many people are still missing with crews unable to reach them, and that there is "heavy bombing and gunfire" around the hospital.

Oxfam, the nonprofit confederation representing 21 NGOs, called for an independent investigation after four water engineers were killed in a town east of Khan Younis, Gaza on their way to repair water infrastructure.
The engineers worked for an Oxfam partner organization and had coordinated with Israeli authorities to do the work, according to Oxfam.
"Despite prior coordination with Israeli authorities their clearly-marked vehicle was bombed," the organization said.
The Israel Defense Forces has not immediately commented on the attack.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the drone attack that targeted his house an "attempt to assassinate me and my wife," in a statement Saturday.
"The attempt by Iran’s proxy Hezbollah to assassinate me and my wife today was a grave mistake. This will not deter me or the State of Israel from continuing our just war against our enemies in order to secure our future," Netanyahu said.
"Anyone who tries to harm Israel’s citizens will pay a heavy price. We will continue to eliminate the terrorists and those who dispatch them," Netanyahu said.
Hezbollah has not commented on the attack.
