Hamas later said another military wing member was killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon\u2019s eastern Bekaa Valley, where residents confronted the aftermath: smashed buildings, scattered bricks and stairways to nowhere.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s military said it killed two senior officials with Hamas\u2019 military wing in Lebanon, where fighting has sharply escalated.

Israel says it is targeting Hezbollah commanders and military equipment and aims to drive the militant group away from shared borders.<\/p>\n<p>The Iranian-backed Hezbollah, the strongest armed force in Lebanon, began firing rockets into Israel almost immediately after Hamas\u2019 Oct. 7 attack, calling it a show of support for the Palestinians. Hezbollah and Israel\u2019s military have traded fire almost daily.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Israel launched what it called a limited ground operation into southern Lebanon after a series of attacks killed longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and others. The fighting is the worst since Israel and Hezbollah fought a brief war in 2006. Nine Israeli soldiers have been killed in the ground clashes that Israel says have killed 250 Hezbollah fighters.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, told reporters in Damascus that \u201cwe are trying to reach a cease-fire in Gaza and in Lebanon.\u201d The minister did not name the countries putting forward initiatives, saying they include regional states and some outside the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Araghchi spoke a day after the supreme leader of Iran praised its <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/israel-lebanon-hezbollah-gaza-news-10-01-2024-eb175dff6e46906caea8b9e43dfbd3da\">recent missile strikes on Israel<\/a><\/span> and said it was ready to do it again if necessary.<\/p>\n<h2>Fleeing Lebanon on foot<\/h2>\n<p>Israel\u2019s military on Saturday said about 90 projectiles were fired from Lebanon into Israeli territory. Most were intercepted, but several fell in the northern Arab town of Deir al-Asad, where police said three people were lightly injured.<\/p>\n<p>At least six people in Lebanon were killed in more than a dozen Israeli airstrikes overnight and into Saturday, according to the Lebanese state-run National News Agency.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly 375,000 people have fled from Lebanon into Syria in less than two weeks, according to a Lebanese government committee.<\/p>\n<p>Associated Press journalists saw hundreds continuing to cross the Masnaa Border Crossing on foot, crunching over the rubble after Israeli airstrikes <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/mideast-wars-lebanon-hezbollah-hamas-4-october-2024-5f2e512d5334b6f7fd7f5a46400e6979\">left huge craters in the road<\/a><\/span> leading to it on Thursday.

We almost died getting here.\u201d Some children whimpered or cried.<\/p>\n<p>Other displaced families now shelter alongside Beirut\u2019s famous seaside Corniche, their wind-flapped tents just steps from luxury homes. \u201cWe don\u2019t care if we die, but we don\u2019t want to die at the hands of Netanyahu,\u201d said Om Ali Mcheik.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli military said special forces were carrying out ground raids against Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon, destroying missiles, launchpads and weapons storage facilities. It said troops dismantled tunnel shafts that Hezbollah used to approach the Israeli border. <\/p>\n<h2>More evacuation orders in Gaza<\/h2>\n<p>Almost 42,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza during the war, according to the Health Ministry there, which does not differentiate between civilian and militant deaths. Almost 90% of Gaza\u2019s residents are now displaced, amid widespread destruction.<\/p>\n<p>Palestinian medical officials said Israeli strikes in northern and central Gaza on Saturday killed at least nine people. One in the northern town of Beit Hanoun killed at least five, including two children, according to Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry. Another hit a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp, killing at least four, Awda hospital said.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s military did not have any immediate comment but has long accused Hamas of operating from within civilian areas.<\/p>\n<p>An Israeli airstrike killed two children in Gaza City\u2019s Zaytoun neighborhood, according to the civil defense first responders\u2019 group that operates under the Hamas-run government.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s military warned Palestinians to evacuate along the <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-ceasefire-talks-corridors-03deb20a6c549273fb4b8ce3475fff17\">strategic Netzarim corridor in central Gaza<\/a><\/span> that was at the heart of obstacles to a cease-fire deal. The military told people in parts of the Nuseirat and Bureij refugee camps to evacuate to Muwasi, a coastal area it has designated a humanitarian zone. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear how many Palestinians are in those areas. Israeli forces have often returned to areas in Gaza to target Hamas fighters as they regroup.<\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>Mroue reported from Beirut, Lebanon, and Lidman from Tel Aviv, Israel.<\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>Find more of AP\u2019s coverage at <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/israel-hamas-war\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/israel-hamas-war<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '870613919693099',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/mideast-wars-lebanon-hezbollah-hamas-5-october-2024-a8b70daeccc57a86fc6d939c604f2caf\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MASNAA BORDER CROSSING, Lebanon (AP) \u2014 Israel expanded its bombardment in Lebanon on Saturday, hitting Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs with a dozen airstrikes and striking a Palestinian refugee camp deep in &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=110873\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-110873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=110873"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110873\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=110873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=110873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=110873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
