Dozens Martyred in Israeli Airstrikes Targeting Aid Seekers in Gaza
Dozens of Palestinians were martyred or injured on Saturday as Israeli occupation forces intensified airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, striking civilian neighborhoods and gatherings of those seeking humanitarian aid amid a worsening famine and critical food insecurity. Israeli occupation forces opened heavy fire on Palestinian civilians gathered to receive desperately needed aid along the Netzarim axis in central Gaza. This is part of a repeated pattern where aid distribution points become scenes of violence, as Israel continues to weaponize… — Quds News Network (@QudsNen) June 10, 2025 Four young men lost their lives and several others were wounded when Israeli warplanes bombed an area near the Osama Bin Zaid School in the al-Saftawi neighborhood, north of Gaza City. Israeli warplanes bombard the Batn Al-Sameen neighborhood, south of Khan Younis. — Quds News Network (@QudsNen) June 11, 2025 Israeli aggression continued with reports of additional airstrikes in the al-Sabra neighborhood, as well as drone attacks targeting civilians waiting for food assistance near the entrance to the al-Bureij refugee camp. Many were critically injured as live fire was directed at desperate residents in central Gaza, with casualties flooding into al-Awda Hospital. So far, four martyrs have been confirmed, along with approximately 90 others seeking medical care following the assaults on aid seekers along the Salah al-Din Road. The situation in the al-Nuseirat refugee camp worsened as two more individuals were killed and others injured from airstrikes near the Fayad roundabout. BREAKING: Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat refugee camp reports that seven Palestinians were killed in a series of Israeli attacks on groups of civilians around the so-called Netzarim checkpoint in the central Gaza Strip. — Quds News Network (@QudsNen) June 11, 2025 Further attacks involved Israeli drone-launched bombs targeting displaced Palestinians along a nearby street, resulting in three additional martyrs being recovered from the rubble. In the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli aircraft bombed a tent housing displaced civilians in the al-Mawasi area, while military vehicles fired upon residents in the Batn al-Samin area, contributing to the growing number of injuries. UN Warnings: The Risk of Famine in Gaza is Worsening The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) announced that the risk of famine in the Gaza Strip remains extremely high, given the ongoing restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid. The WFP noted that since May 19, it has been able to bring only limited quantities of life-saving aid into Gaza. Only 700 trucks have entered since aid resumed, compared to the 600 to 700 trucks that entered daily before the recent escalation. The WFP emphasized that preventing famine requires regular support for the people of Gaza by meeting their basic food needs. It emphasized that the entry of aid requires providing safe routes for convoys, expediting permit approvals, and opening crossings. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) announced that the ongoing hostilities and worsening hunger are pushing more than two million people in Gaza toward despair.

Army searches building in Hadath for Hezbollah weapons
by Naharnet Newsdesk 7 hours Army forces launched Tuesday a search in a building in a densely populated area of Hadath in Beirut's southern suburbs. A Lebanese military official said the forces were looking for weapons at the request of a five-member committee supervising the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire. The building in the Sainte-Therese street had already been targeted during the the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war. Israel warned on Friday that it would keep up its strikes on Hezbollah targets across Lebanon, after it struck four locations in Dahieh on the eve of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. The Lebanese army condemned the airstrikes, warning that such attacks are weakening the role of Lebanon's armed forces that might eventually suspend cooperation with the committee monitoring the truce that ended the Israel-Hezbollah war. It said it had tried to convince Israel not to carry out the strikes and to instead let Lebanese officials go in to search the area under the mechanism laid out in the ceasefire agreement, but that the Israeli army refused, so Lebanese soldiers moved away from the locations after they were sent.

UNIFIL statement on patrol obstruction Hallusiyat al Tahta
The following is statement issued by UNIFIL: 'This morning, UNIFIL peacekeepers conducting a planned patrol coordinated with the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) were confronted by a group of individuals in civilian clothing in the vicinity of Hallusiyat al Tahta, in southern Lebanon. The group attempted to obstruct the patrol using aggressive means, including throwing stones at the peacekeepers. One peacekeeper was struck, fortunately, no injuries were reported. In response, UNIFIL personnel employed non-lethal measures to ensure the safety of both the patrol members and those present. The LAF was promptly informed and arrived on the scene shortly thereafter. The situation was quickly brought under control, and the patrol was able to proceed. Freedom of movement is a core requirement for the implementation of UNIFIL's mandate. This includes the ability to operate independently and impartially, as outlined in UN Security Council Resolution 1701. Any restriction on this freedom — while conducting operational activities with or without LAF — constitutes a violation of that resolution. It is unacceptable that UNIFIL peacekeepers continue to be targeted. UNIFIL calls on the Lebanese authorities to take all necessary measures to ensure that its peacekeepers can carry out their duties without obstruction or threat.'
