Gaza faced a barrage of strikes across the tiny enclave throughout Wednesday with attacks reported in Gaza City and Rafah, killing dozens of civilians and wounding others.
Gaza's authorities issued a warning to citizens against going to collect aid at the Kuwait or al-Rashid roundabouts because of dangers of Israeli attacks. Palestinian news agency Wafa said two people were killed by Israeli forces while collecting aid at the Kuwait roundabout.
South Lebanon reeled from heavy bombardment overnight Tuesday when Israeli jets struck a medical centre in the town of Hebbarieh near the border, which killed seven emergency workers in one of the worst attacks since fighting broke out in October.
The Israeli military said it "struck a military compound" belonging to the Jamaa Islamiya organization "who advanced attacks against Israeli territory".
Mohyddin Kourhani, director of the Emergency and Relief Service of the Lebanese Ambulance Association, told The New Arab that seven bodies of "medical volunteers" were pulled from under the rubble in Habbariyeh.
"They were young men, college students," Kourhani said. "The building is in a residential area, next to the Mukhtar’s office, you can see among the rubble that there is only medical equipment present there."
