Air and Drone Strikes Persist in Gaza and Southern Lebanon

Amnesty’s July 9 report finds reasonable basis to say March strikes in Lebanon broke international law and sharpens demands for criminal probes.

Overview

  • Israeli air and drone attacks have continued to kill and wound civilians in Gaza, including children and a World Central Kitchen driver, and have struck civilian areas despite a US-brokered ceasefire.
  • Amnesty International released its report on Thursday that examined three strikes in March which it says killed 24 civilians, including 12 children, and concluded there is reasonable basis to allege violations of international humanitarian law.
  • An Israeli drone strike on Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza wounded several hospital staff and maintenance workers, increasing international concern about damage to medical infrastructure and care capacity.
  • Southern Lebanon has also been hit by recent drone strikes that injured civilians despite the June US-brokered Israel‑Lebanon framework intended to reduce hostilities.
  • Diplomatic channels remain active but strained, with US-mediated talks and planned rounds in Rome, while rights groups warn that provisions in recent agreements could limit victims’ routes to international justice and aid delivery in Gaza is rapidly deteriorating.
