An Israeli airstrike killed two Palestinian brothers Saturday morning in the Gaza Strip, hospital authorities said.

The strike hit the men close to the Showa roundabout in Gaza City’s Shijaiyah neighborhood, according to the Al-Ahly hospital.

The area is close to the so-called Yellow Line which separates Israeli-controlled areas across the Gaza Strip from the rest of the enclave.

Israel’s military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The World Health Organization said on Saturday that nine paramedics were killed and seven others wounded in five separate attacks on health care in ⁠southern Lebanon.

The latest incidents ⁠struck medical teams in five separate villages, WHO Director-General Tedros ⁠Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a social media post.

He added that the repeated strikes have severely disrupted health services in southern Lebanon.

Four hospitals and ⁠51 primary ⁠healthcare centers are now closed, with several other facilities operating at reduced capacity, he said.

Lebanese Minister of Health Rakan Nassereddine said Saturday he will submit a comprehensive legal file to the Cabinet as a step toward lodging a complaint with the UN Security Council over Israeli attacks on the health sector.

According to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, at least 1,189 people have been killed and over 3,427 others injured in Israeli airstrikes across Beirut's southern suburbs and villages in southern and eastern Lebanon since the start of renewed hostilities.

The Israeli military killed a 15-year-old Palestinian boy near Bethlehem late on Friday, according to the Palestinian health ministry, as violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank surges.

The Palestinian health ministry said in a statement that the 15-year-old boy had died after arriving at the hospital in a critical condition with a gunshot wound to the abdomen, according to Reuters.

The boy had been shot in the Dheisheh camp during an Israeli military raid, the Palestinian WAFA state news agency reported.

The Israeli military said a Palestinian was killed after soldiers opened fire during what it described as a "violent riot" in which stones were thrown at soldiers near Bethlehem. The statement did not identify the Palestinian killed or specify why Israeli forces were in the area.

It was the third reported Palestinian killed in the West Bank by Israeli forces on Friday. The WAFA earlier on Friday reported that two Palestinian men had been shot dead by Israeli forces.

The West Bank has seen a surge in violence since October 2023 when Hamas carried out its deadly attack on Israel from Gaza.

Since then, the military has tightened restrictions on Palestinian movement in the West Bank, and launched raids that have displaced entire communities, while violence perpetrated by Israeli settlers against Palestinians has increased.

Baghdad Orders Probe after Drone Targets Kurdistan President’s Home

A drone attack targeted the home of the president of Iraq's Kurdistan Region early on Saturday, security sources said, in an incident that comes as tensions continue to rise across northern Iraq.

Air defences also shot down a drone near a Peshmerga fighters’ base in Duhok, the sources added.

The strikes come amid a surge in attacks on both Iran-aligned militias and Kurdish forces as the US-Israeli war against Iran spills over into Iraq, drawing in multiple armed groups and straining Baghdad’s efforts to contain the fallout.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani condemned the attack on Kurdish President Nechirvan Barzani’s home and spoke with him by phone, his office said.

Sudani ordered the creation of a joint federal-Kurdistan security and technical team to investigate the incidents and identify those responsible, the statement added.

Iraq's military accused the US and Israel of carrying out some of the airstrikes on the PMF.

Tehran-backed armed groups have also launched attacks on US bases in Iraq and the US embassy.
