The United Nations Palestinian refugee agency on Tuesday called for an unimpeded flow of humanitarian assistance to Gaza, trapped in a humanitarian crisis after two weeks of intense Israeli attacks.

"We call for an unimpeded and continuous flow of humanitarian assistance and medical assistance to continue coming into Gaza," said Tamara Alrifai, spokesperson for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

"The trucks that have come in so far are just a trickle in the face of the immense needs of people on the street."

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah warned on Wednesday the Israeli military against targeting civilians in Lebanon, saying the group will target new Israeli towns and villages otherwise.

“If your tanks came to Lebanon and southern Lebanon ... you won't have any left,” he said in a televised address to commemorate Ashoura.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said Tuesday two separate Israeli airstrikes in south Lebanon killed five Syrian citizens, including three children.

NNA said the first drone strike killed two Syrian citizens who were riding a motorcycle near the southern village of Kfar Tibnit.

It added that the three children were killed later in the day in an airstrike on an agricultural land in the village of Im al-Tout near the border.

On Monday, an Israeli airstrike on a home in the southern town of Bint Jbeil killed a Hezbollah member and his two sisters.

Since the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza started on Oct. 7, Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon have killed over 450 people, mostly Hezbollah members but also include about 90 civilians and non-combatants. On the Israeli side, 21 soldiers and 13 civilians have been killed.
