Israel at War

The military says it continues its anti-terrorism operation in the hospital.

"We will not be intimidated, we will not be silenced," Ambassador Dana Erlich says.

The airstrike near the city of Baalbek, a stronghold of Lebanon’s terrorist Hezbollah group, was the latest to hit the area in recent weeks.

Sgt. First Class Lior Raviv, 21, was from Rishon Lezion, central Israel.

It's the final stop in Blinken's sixth urgent diplomatic mission to the Middle East, in which he's expected to hold meetings with Netanyahu and his War Cabinet.

The Israeli mission to the UN tells i24NEWS it 'doesn’t like all aspects of the resolution, but it can live with it.'

No one was wounded during the incident which is being investigated, the police said in a post on social media platform X, without giving more details.

Sergeant First Class (res.) Yedidya Eliyahu, a combat engineer, was killed in battle in Gaza two weeks before his 26th birthday. This week, his widow brought his newborn son to the gravesite.

The initiative is motivated by concerns over ensuring that humanitarian assistance reaches those in need without being misappropriated by Hamas.

"Over the past day, the troops have eliminated terrorists and located weapons in the hospital area, while preventing harm to civilians, patients, medical teams, and medical equipment," the military said in a statement.
