Hezbollah takes responsibility for the rocket barrage on the Lower Galilee this morning, claiming to have targeted an Israeli military base near Tiberias.

The rocket attack seriously wounded an Israeli civilian near the town of Kfar Zeitim.

Yesterday's drone strike killed a key member of Hezbollah's air defense unit.

Earlier today, two anti-tank missiles were launched from southern Lebanon's Ayta ash-Shab at the Shtula area in northern Israel.

The IDF says no injuries were caused in the attack, and a short while later, fighter jets struck a building used by Hezbollah to carry out the missile fire.

A separate building used by Hezbollah in Maaroub, and infrastructure in Naqoura, were also struck, the IDF says.

The IDF says fighter jets struck a compound within a school in Gaza City where Hamas operatives were gathered.

A separate site in the school used by Hamas to manufacture weapons was also hit, it adds.

Before carrying out the strike, the IDF says it carried out "many steps" to mitigate harm to civilians, including using aerial surveillance and other intelligence.

"The Hamas terror organization systematically violates international law, systematically exploiting civilian buildings and the civilian population as human shields for terror activity against the State of Israel," the military adds.

The Israeli military is calling on Palestinians in several neighborhoods of Gaza City to evacuate the area and head toward shelters in the western part of the city, near the coast.

Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman, publishes a list of the zones that need to be evacuated alongside the announcement.

The zones include the Tuffah, Daraj, and Old City neighborhoods of Gaza City.

The announcement comes amid an ongoing IDF operation against Hamas in Gaza City's Shejaiya neighborhoods.
An IDF officer was killed during fighting in southern Gaza's Rafah earlier today, the military announces.

The slain soldier is named as Maj. Jalaa Ibrahem, 25, a company commander in the Combat Engineering Corps' 601st Battalion, from Sajur.

His death brings Israel’s toll in the ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza and in military operations along the border with the Strip to 326.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says the IDF will continue to battle Hezbollah in Lebanon even if Israel reaches a truce in the Gaza Strip.

"I gave clear orders to the forces in both the south and the north, these are two separate sectors. Even if we reach a hostage deal, and I very much hope that we will be able to reach it in the south, it is not bound to what is happening here, unless Hezbollah reaches an agreement [with Israel]," he says to troops during a visit to the Mount Hermon region.

"Even if there is a ceasefire [in Gaza], here we continue to fight and do everything necessary, and this is what brings the results," Gallant says.

Gallant says Hezbollah and allied terror groups in Lebanon have lost 450 members to IDF strikes, including 15 brigade-level commanders and three at the division level. "It is a very, very significant thing and the results are visible," he says.

The defense minister says "These are critical days" and that "our enemy only understands force."

"Things can happen, we do not aspire to it, we are ready for anything, but we are prepared for the fact that if they come to attack us, or if they try to harm us, or if they do not allow us to return our citizens safely to their homes - we will act," Gallant adds.
