Israeli Strike Wounds Six in Gaza's Shati Refugee Camp

Israeli warplanes struck a home in Gaza's Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City after issuing a forced evacuation threat. A hospital source told Al Jazeera that six Palestinians, including two children, were wounded in the attack that destroyed the house.

Neighboring homes were also damaged. The strike occurred as Israel has escalated its attacks on the Gaza Strip over the past few weeks. The enclave has seen more than two years of conflict that has killed more than 72,500 Palestinians according to local authorities.

The rising number of attacks comes as new U.S.-backed governance structures appear to have been sidelined.

At least 31 people including a rescue worker were killed on Friday in Israeli attacks across southern Lebanon according to the official National News Agency. It was one of the deadliest days since fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah restarted on March 2.

Rescue operations continued to search for a missing girl beneath rubble in the town of Toura. Five people died in two air strikes on Toura in the Tyre district. An Israeli army drone targeted a car on the road between Kfarchouba and Kfarhamam in the Hasbaiyya district killing a civil defence worker.

Additional strikes hit villages in the Bint Jbeil and Nabatieh districts and the town of as-Sultaniyah killing nine more people. Despite a ceasefire announced on April 17 that was extended until May 17 Israeli forces continue daily strikes on Lebanon.

The U.S. military said it struck two Iranian-flagged oil tankers trying to enter an Iranian port on the Gulf of Oman. This marked the second straight day of naval confrontations. At least one sailor was found dead after a U.S. attack on an Iranian ship the previous night with 10 seafarers wounded and four missing.
