The war began when Hamas-led militants blew holes in the border fence and stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. They killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted around 250. Some 100 hostages are still inside Gaza, about a third of whom are believed to be dead.

Israeli airstrikes Sunday killed dozens of people, including at least 20 children, in northern Gaza and Lebanon, health authorities said. The Israeli airstrike in Lebanon killed at least 23, including seven children in a village north of Beirut.
