Jerusalem: Israel launched deadly strikes in Gaza and Lebanon on Sunday (Nov 10), rescuers and authorities said, ahead of a US deadline for improved aid delivery to the Palestinian territory.

Rescuers in Gaza said on Sunday that 30 people, including 13 children, had been killed in Israeli strikes in the north of the territory.

The first strike early Sunday hit a house in Jabalia, killing “at least 25” people, including 13 children, and wounding more than 30, Gaza’s civil protection agency said.

Vowing to stop Hamas militants from regrouping in northern Gaza, Israel launched a major air and ground assault on October 6.

The United Nations has described the area as “besieged” and Washington has set a deadline of next week for Israel to receive more aid or face possible cuts in military assistance.

Another strike in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City killed five people and left others missing, civil defense said.

“A number of civilians are still under the rubble,” it said.

Contacted by AFP, the Israeli military said it was “looking into reports” of the attacks.

Meanwhile, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said an Israeli strike on the village of Almat, north of Beirut, killed 20 people, including three children, on Sunday. In southern Lebanon, Israeli strikes killed three Hezbollah-affiliated rescuers, the ministry also said.
