Three rescuers killed in strike on southern Lebanon
The Lebanese Health Ministry announced on Saturday evening that three rescuers were killed and two others wounded in an Israeli attack on a Civil Defense team putting out fires in southern Lebanon. “The Israeli enemy targeted a team of the Lebanese Civil Defense that was putting out fires caused by the recent Israeli strikes in the village of Froun, which resulted in the martyrdom of three rescuers,” the ministry said in a statement, adding that one of the two injured people was in critical condition. The Israeli army has not yet commented on the strike, but said it attacked a “Hezbollah military infrastructure and a launch pad” rockets in the Qabrikha region and other areas of southern Lebanon. Hezbollah has announced a series of attacks against Israeli troops and positions near the border, some in response to “attacks by the Israeli enemy” against southern Lebanon.
Family of American woman killed in West Bank blames Israel
The family of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old Turkish-American activist who was shot dead Friday during an anti-settlement protest in the occupied West Bank, accused the family on Saturday of “the Israeli army” to have “brutally, unjustly and illegally torn away […] his presence in our lives.” In a statement, the young woman’s family asked “President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken to order an independent investigation into the unjust killing of an American citizen and ensure that those responsible are fully held accountable.” According to the UN, Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was killed by gunfire from Israeli forces while she was taking part in a demonstration against Jewish settlements in Beita, near Nablus in the northern West Bank, a Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967.

The Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip said on Saturday that at least three people were killed and 20 were injured in an Israeli airstrike on a school sheltering displaced people in Gaza City.

This aimed “terrorists who were operating inside a Hamas command and control center […] located in a complex that previously served as a school,” she said in a statement.
