An Israeli airstrike struck on Thursday a police station in Jabalia, located in the northern Gaza Strip, killing at least 10 people and injuring dozens, according to local health authorities.
The Israeli military stated that the target was a command and control center operated by Hamas and the allied Palestinian Islamic Jihad, used by militants to plan and execute attacks against Israeli forces.
Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad have seen their influence wane in recent years. However, small urban guerrilla groups remain active, often embedding themselves within civilian populations to shield their operations—a longstanding tactic of these movements. The Israeli military accused the groups of exploiting civilians and civilian infrastructure for military purposes.
This airstrike is part of Israel’s ongoing operations in Gaza, resumed after a two-month ceasefire collapsed in March 2025, aimed at dismantling militant infrastructure.
The Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, which is named after a Shi'ite Muslim scholar whose shrine sits at its summit, has become one of the most contested pieces of ground in the Israel-Hezbollah war.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the release of five Lebanese nationals held by Israel, after being abducted from southern Lebanon during the successive wars since 2023.
Iran has warned the United States that it would respond forcefully to an Israeli offensive on a mountainous ridge in southern Lebanon where Iranian military personnel are holed up alongside Hezbollah fighters, three officials briefed on the message told Reuters.
