Israel has traded fire with Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group on a near-daily basis since the war began.
Israeli warplanes struck targets across Gaza overnight on Saturday and into Sunday, as well as two airports in Syria and a mosque in the occupied West Bank allegedly used by militants, as the two-week-old war with Hamas threatened to spiral into a broader conflict.
On Saturday, 20 trucks of aid were allowed to enter Gaza from Egypt through the Rafah crossing, the first time anything has gone into the territory since Israel imposed a complete siege two weeks ago. The territory’s sole power plant shut down more than a week ago, causing a territory-wide blackout and crippling water and sanitation systems.
Israel’s military has said it is striking Hamas members and installations, but does not target civilians. Israel has vowed to crush Hamas but has given few details about what it envisions for Gaza if it succeeds. Syrian state media meanwhile reported that Israeli air strikes have targeted the international airports in the capital, Damascus, and the northern city of Aleppo. It said the strikes killed one person and damaged the runways, putting them out of service.Israel rarely acknowledges individual strikes, but says it acts to prevent Hezbollah and other militant groups from bringing in arms from their patron, Iran, which also supports Hamas.
Israeli forces killed at least five people in the West Bank early on Sunday, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
