Crisis in Gaza Escalates Amid Leadership Changes

An Israeli airstrike killed at least 60 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in Gaza. Hezbollah appointed Sheikh Naim Kassem as its new leader following Hassan Nasrallah's death. Israel's legislative actions could further strain aid provision in Gaza, as tensions with Hezbollah and Iran continue to rise.

In a devastating escalation of conflict, an Israeli airstrike on a sheltering site in the northern Gaza Strip resulted in at least 60 casualties, predominantly women and children, the Gaza Health Ministry reports.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah declared Sheikh Naim Kassem as its new leader, succeeding Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike. This leadership change signals the militant group's ongoing commitment to its strategic objectives.

Additionally, Israel faces criticism for passing laws that may restrict operations of UNRWA, a significant aid provider in Gaza, raising humanitarian concerns amid ongoing conflicts involving Israel, Hezbollah, and Iran.
