BEIRUT/GAZA (Dispatches) --
Israeli forces carried out artillery shelling and demolition operations in southern Lebanon, raided villages across the occupied West Bank, and killed a Palestinian child and a young man in Gaza on Tuesday.
A six-year-old Palestinian girl, Tahani Muhammad Saeed Shalalfah, died of a gunshot wound in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Yunis, according to a statement from Nasser Medical Complex cited by the Palestinian Sanad News Agency.
Separately, an Israeli drone struck near the “Yellow Line” on al-Rashid Street south of al-Mawasi, killing one person, and Israeli military vehicles opened fire east of Batn al-Samin, south of Khan Yunis.
In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces raided Nabi Saleh village northwest of Ramallah, firing tear gas at homes and opening fire on a vehicle, while soldiers raided private residences, according to Wafa.
Several Palestinians suffered from tear gas inhalation. In al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, forces converted a Palestinian home into a military barracks and bulldozers leveled land in the al-Rafid plain.
In Jenin, forces stormed the eastern neighborhood and the town of Jaba’, converting homes into military barracks and field interrogation centers and forcing families to evacuate, while four Palestinians were arrested in Qabatiya. Israeli forces also closed all entrances to Ramallah on Tuesday morning, according to Wafa.
In Lebanon, Israeli artillery shelled the towns of al-Mansouri and Majdal Zoun intensively on Tuesday morning, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency.
Overnight, artillery targeted Baraachit and Kunin, with machine-gun fire toward Beit Yahoun in Bint Jbeil district, and intermittent shelling on Wadi Zibqin. Israeli forces also carried out a demolition operation in Khiam.
In Syria, reports circulating on social media said an Israeli airstrike targeted a weapons and ammunition storage facility in Idlib province said to hold Turkish-made weapons destined for Syria’s new authorities.
The reports come as a sham U.S.-brokered ceasefire in Gaza, brokered in October 2025, continues to be violated daily. Since the truce began, more than 1,500 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the territory’s health ministry.
