Israeli forces launched airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut on Thursday, according to Lebanese state media, marking the third consecutive day of such strikes. Around dawn, Israeli strikes targeted at least three areas in Beirut’s suburbs,

Israeli airstrikes hit a cafeteria and a home in Gaza, killing at least 14 people, medical officials said. In Lebanon, warplanes struck the capital Beirut’s southern suburbs on Tuesday after the military ordered a number of houses there to evacuate.

The latest bombardment came as the U.S. said it would not reduce its military support for Israel after a deadline passed for allowing more humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Palestinian medical officials say two Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least 14 people, including two children and a woman.

The new bombardment on both fronts comes on the verge of a deadline set by the United States for Israel to dramatically ramp up humanitarian aid allowed in Gaza or risk possible restrictions on US military funding.

Four Israeli soldiers have been killed in the north of the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military reported on Tuesday. The dead soldiers were non-commissioned officers aged 20 and 21, it said. Israeli media reports said they were killed when an antitank weapon fired by Palestinian forces struck a building where they were sheltering in the Jabalia refugee camp to the north of Gaza City.

Israeli airstrikes killed at least 46 people in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, including 11 at a makeshift cafeteria in an Israeli-declared humanitarian zone, medics said. In Lebanon, warplanes struck Beirut's southern suburbs and killed 18 people elsewhere in the country on Tuesday.
