Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to meet with Israeli leaders on Tuesday as part of a tour of the Middle East aimed at defusing regional tensions and preventing the conflict in Gaza from spreading. Israel said it killed a Hezbollah commander in southern Lebanon — a rare admission of a targeted killing in another country — calling it “part of the war.”

The Israel Defense Forces on Monday also said it had “eliminated” Hassan Hakashah, a Hamas operative in Beit Jinn in southern Syria. The IDF described Hakashah as a “key figure responsible for Hamas’ rocket launches from Syrian territory toward Israel’s Home Front in recent weeks.”
Israeli attacks around central Gaza’s last remaining hospital have caused hundreds of displaced civilians to flee and forced most medical workers to evacuate, leaving wounded people with no good options for seeking care as fighting intensifies in the area.
The number of civilian casualties as a result of explosive violence surged globally last year, according to the London-based Action on Armed Violence, with the conflict in Gaza contributing to the increase “substantially.” The monitoring group said 33,846 people globally were killed or wounded by airstrikes, bombs or artillery in 2023, the largest number since the annual survey began in 2010.
At least 23,084 people have been killed in Gaza and 58,926 wounded since the war began, the Gaza Health Ministry said. Israel estimates that 1,200 people were killed in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack.
