Crisis in Gaza and Leadership Change in Hezbollah

An Israeli strike on a building in Gaza has resulted in at least 60 deaths, many being women and children. Hezbollah has appointed Sheikh Naim Kassem as its new leader following Hassan Nasrallah's death in an Israeli airstrike. Israel faces criticism over new laws restricting UNRWA operations.

An Israeli strike targeting a five-story building in the northern Gaza Strip resulted in the deaths of at least 60 people, Gaza's Health Ministry confirmed. More than half of the victims were women and children as they sheltered amidst ongoing conflicts.

In a separate development, Hezbollah has named Sheikh Naim Kassem as the successor to its former leader, Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike last month. Kassem continues to pledge commitment to Hezbollah's longstanding policies against Israel.

Israel faces backlash and potential international ramifications after parliamentary legislation threatens to limit UNRWA's operational capacity in Palestine. The UN agency remains a critical aid provider for Palestinian refugees amidst enduring instability.
