The Israel Defence Forces says it intercepted a “suspicious aerial target” fired from Lebanon across the northern border earlier today. 

“A short while ago, the IDF aerial defence array intercepted a suspicious aerial target that was identified in the area of the border with Lebanon before it crossed into Israeli territory,” a statement read. 

It also said an Israeli “post” in northern Israel was fired at – although no injuries were reported.

“IDF soldiers responded with artillery fire toward the origins of the shooting in Lebanon.”

Number killed in Gaza rises by 300 in a day, according to health ministry

The Hamas-led health ministry says the number of people killed in Gaza since the start of the war has risen to 10,328.

That’s an increase of more than 300 on the 10,022 deaths it reported yesterday.

Of those, 4,237 are children, the ministry said. 

The latest UNRWA figures indicate more than 700,000 people have been displaced in Gaza since 7 October, when Hamas fighters mounted a massive incursion into Israel, prompting heavy retaliatory strikes.
