An Israeli airstrike killed at least two people and wounded 11 others in the central Nuseirat refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, the Awda hospital said.

The strike hit a house late Friday in the camp, according to the hospital which received the casualties in the first hours of Saturday.

At least 41,586 Palestinians have been killed and 96,210 others injured in Israel's military offensive on Gaza since Oct. 7, Gaza's health ministry said in an update on Saturday.

Over the past few days, the Israeli military has carried out strikes in northern and central Gaza, which they said were targeting Hamas militants operating from civilian areas.

Lebanon's Hezbollah confirmed on Saturday that its leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was killed and vowed to continue the battle against Israel.

A statement Saturday said Nasrallah “has joined his fellow martyrs.”
The statement says Hezbollah vows to “continue the holy war against the enemy and in support of Palestine.”
Nasrallah led the Lebanese group for more than three decades. His death could dramatically reshape conflicts across the Middle East.
Earlier, Israel said Saturday that it killed Nasrallah, dealing its most significant blow to the Lebanese group after months of fighting.

The Lebanese Health Ministry said six people were killed and 91 injured in the Beirut strikes Friday, which leveled six apartment buildings. Ali Karki, the Commander of Hezbollah’s Southern Front, and additional Hezbollah commanders were also killed in the attack, the Israeli military said.
Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani, an army spokesperson, said the airstrike was based on years of tracking Nasrallah along with “real time information” that made it viable. He said Nasrallah’s death had been confirmed through various types of intelligence, but declined to elaborate.
It was not immediately clear what effect the strike would have on Hezbollah or fighting between the sides that has dragged on for nearly a year. Israel has vowed to step up pressure on Hezbollah until it halts its attacks that have displaced tens of thousands of Israelis from communities near the Lebanese border. The recent fighting has also displaced more than 200,000 Lebanese in the past week, according to the United Nations.
