At least one dead in Gaza and new Israeli attacks in Lebanon revive the crisis in the region
A Palestinian has been shot dead by the Israeli Army, while Israel accuses Hamas of breaking the truce and bombing Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon.
At least one Palestinian has been killed and nine others injured this Wednesday by Israeli army fire in the town of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, despite the ceasefire in force since 10 October.
Since the entry into force of the ceasefire, the health authorities in Gaza have recorded 406 deaths and 1,100 injuries in incidents related to Israeli military actions, in addition to the fact that at least 653 bodies have been recovered from rubble, a context in which local authorities report that Israeli drones continue to fly over the enclave and that troops open fire on those approaching the so-called "yellow line".
At the same time, the Israeli Government has accused Hamas on Wednesday of violating the ceasefire by lightly injuring an Israeli officer during a military operation in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's office has warned that "Israel will respond to the attack" and has insisted that the Islamist group must comply with the terms agreed, including the demilitarization of the Strip and its departure from the enclave government.
Hamas denies these allegations and claims that the explosion was caused by "bombs left behind by Israel," according to President Mahmoud Mardawi. The Islamist group insists that it has not broken the ceasefire and that the daily flow of victims continues despite the agreement.
The escalation is not limited to Gaza. The Israeli army announced attacks on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, where it has bombed infrastructure and shelling areas, although it achieved a ceasefire in November 2024. Israel says these actions do not violate the treaty. But the Lebanese authorities, the Shia group and the United Nations have criticized the bombing and the continuation of Israeli troops in five Lebanese positions.
