Overview
- Israeli strikes on Monday killed civilians on both fronts, including four people in Nabatieh al-Fawqa in southern Lebanon and multiple fatalities across Gaza reported by local health and medical sources.
- Gaza’s Health Ministry says the cumulative death toll since October 2023 is about 73,098–73,100 and reports that 1,072 people were killed and 3,463 injured during the truce that began in October 2025.
- Lebanese state media and health authorities reported an Israeli drone hit a car in Nabatieh al-Fawqa, killing a school principal, her mother, a domestic worker and a Syrian laborer while the Israeli military said it struck a vehicle it perceived as a threat to its forces.
- Reports from southern Lebanon also describe house demolitions and controlled explosions by Israeli forces in towns such as Aitaroun and Houla, actions that Lebanese officials say undermine a June U.S.-brokered framework for phased Israeli withdrawal.
- Humanitarian and political fallout is growing: the UN estimates nearly 90% of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure is destroyed with reconstruction costs near $70 billion, aid access remains restricted, and key actors including Hezbollah reject parts of the Lebanon deal, leaving implementation fragile.
