Twenty-five people were transferred to the Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza after suffering severe burns, according to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. The war began when Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, while Palestinian militants abducted around 250 hostages. Israel has also threatened to strike Iran in retaliation for a ballistic missile attack, raising the prospect of an all-out regionwide war. The Lebanon-based Hezbollah called the attack near Binyamina city retaliation for Israeli strikes on Beirut on Thursday that killed 22 people. Israel's national rescue service said the attack wounded 61.
