Four Palestinians, including three teenagers, were killed, and seven wounded in an Israeli raid in the West Bank.

Four Palestinians, including three teenagers, were killed and another seven wounded by Israeli fire during a military raid in the occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian officials. This incident highlights the ongoing violence as world leaders strive to prevent a broader regional conflict in the Middle East.

In a separate development, the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah launched a drone attack on northern Israel, injuring two Israeli troops, early Monday. The violence escalated following the assassination of key Hezbollah and Hamas leaders, raising fears of a regional war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated Israel is in a 'multi-front war' with Iran and its proxies.

Meanwhile, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned 'abhorrent' comments made by Iranian Ambassador Ahmad Sadeghi on social media. Sadeghi's antisemitic remarks incited further diplomatic tensions, reflecting the global community's alarm and efforts to mediate a peaceful resolution in the Middle East.
