The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza reported six deaths and 19 injuries over the past two days. The ministry said two of the deaths were new fatalities and four bodies were recovered from under rubble. Ambulance and civil defence crews were unable to reach some victims still under debris or on roadsides.

Since the ceasefire began on October 11, 2025, the ministry has recorded 871 killings due to Israeli attacks. One person was killed in an Israeli attack in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza. Earlier, one person was killed and others were wounded when Israel targeted the centre of Khan Younis.

An Israeli drone attack targeted a community kitchen in Deir el-Balah near Al Aqsa Hospital, killing three people. The ministry added that a number of victims remain under debris or on roadsides.

Israeli jets raided the towns of Majdal Selem and Barashit in southern Lebanon. One person was killed after an Israeli strike on a car in the town of Zrarieh, according to NNA. Smoke rose from an Israeli air strike on the village of Zibqin. Israeli drones have been reported flying low over Beirut.

Israel continues to carry out intense air strikes over Lebanon, with strikes intensifying near the Litani River and toward the Marjayoun district and Nabatieh.
