The Lebanese Hezbollah terror group claims responsibility for attacking a number of Israeli military posts on the northern border.
In a statement, Hezbollah says it attacked three sites with anti-tank guided missiles and gunfire.
The IDF says it has been responding to the attack with artillery fire. It did not report any casualties among IDF troops.
Jordanian security forces are working to disperse a crowd of thousands of protesters trying to storm the Israeli embassy in Amman, Jordan, in protest of the war in Gaza.
Israel reportedly evacuated the embassy several days ago.
Demonstrators had already attempted to break into the embassy last night and were dispersed by the Jordanian police.
Pentagon data shows ‘other team’ responsible for Gaza hospital blast
In an apparent response to a shouted question about what he based his endorsement of Israel’s version of the deadly hospital blast in Gaza City on, US President Joe Biden says, “The data I was shown by my Defense Department.”
Biden appeared to be making clear that the US has independent evidence that Israel was not to blame.
Making public statements with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier, Biden had said, “Based on what I’ve seen, it appears it was done by the other team, and not you.”
At the same time, he added, “There’s a lot of people out there who are not sure. So we’ve gotta overcome a lot of things.”
Israel has presented a range of evidence showing a faulty Islamic Jihad missile hit the hospital parking lot, including a recording of Hamas officials acknowledging the fact, contradicting Hamas claims that an Israeli air strike was to blame.
The Israel Defense Forces says a military post on the Lebanon border has also been attacked by an anti-tank guided missile launched from Lebanon.
The IDF does not immediately report casualties in the attack.
It says troops are responding with artillery fire at the sources of the missile fire in southern Lebanon.
The Israel Defense Forces says a number of its military posts on the Lebanon border were attacked with gunfire.
The IDF adds that it is responding with artillery shelling toward the sources of the fire in southern Lebanon.
The attacks come following a string of missile, rocket, and shooting attacks on Israeli towns and military posts on the northern border in recent days, most of them claimed by the Hezbollah terror group.
The IDF does not immediately report any casualties.
Palestinian minister claims Israel intentionally hit hospital
Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riad Malki is accusing Israel of “intentionally” bombing the al-Ahli hospital in Gaza and says the Strip’s residents are being subjected to genocide.
Malki, who spoke in Saudi Arabia during a meeting of the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation, says the Israeli military had attacked the same hospital two days earlier and warned doctors there.
Israel has presented evidence showing that an errant Gazan rocket hit the hospital, causing a fire in a parking lot.
Malki adds that he thinks the international community is allowing Israel to kill under the “slogan of self-defense.”
Malki claims that Israeli bombing has killed 1,300 children in the Gaza Strip in past 11 days.
Iran’s top diplomat has called on Muslim nations to expel their Israeli ambassadors and launch an oil embargo on Israel after an explosion at a hospital in the Gaza Strip.
The comments by Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian mark the first time an oil embargo has been discussed as Israel wages war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip after the terror group slaughtered some 1,300 Israelis, most of them civilians, on October 7.
“We expect the Islamic countries that have diplomatic relations with the Zionist regime to cut off their relations immediately and expel the Israeli ambassador from their country,” Amirabdollahian said in a clip aired by state television in Iran. “Secondly, the export of oil to the country of Israel and any project that exists between any Islamic state and Israel must be stopped immediately.”
The Israel Defense Forces says it has seen an uptick in failed rocket launches from the Gaza Strip by the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups.
The military publishes a graph claiming that yesterday, 12.71% of rockets launched from Gaza fell short in the Strip.
It also attaches a map showing the approximate impact locations of the failed rockets.German chancellor condemns Berlin synagogue attack
