In retaliation for missile and drone assaults on Israeli forces in the north on friday, the israel Defence Forces targeted multiple Hezbollah locations in southern Lebanon. An army position close to the northern village of Menara was struck by an anti-tank guided missile that was fired from Lebanon, according to the Israeli military. A spokesman for Israel's foreign ministry announced that the government's initial estimate of 1,400 deaths from the Hamas attack in southern israel on october 7 had been lowered to about 1,200 deaths.

Nevertheless, as the death toll increased and combat between Israeli forces and Hamas terrorists near and around hospitals worsened, Netanyahu's nation came under increasing international pressure, particularly from its principal partner the United States, to take greater action to defend Palestinian people in Gaza.

• In retaliation for missile and drone assaults on Israeli forces in the north on friday, the israel Defence Forces claim to have hit several Hezbollah locations in southern Lebanon. According to the Israeli military, among the locations were a weapons storage and an "intelligence infrastructure" from which the terror cell launched assaults against Israel.

The Lebanese terror group Hezbollah targeted army outposts in northern israel on friday with missiles and drones, gravely injuring four Israeli troops. Following the missile's impact on an army station close to the northern village of Menara, the israel Defence Forces reported that three troops had suffered significant injuries. Later, a drone carrying explosives attacked a group of soldiers on the northern data-border, critically wounding two more soldiers. The missile and drone assaults were attributed to the terrorist organization Hezbollah.


• The number of Palestinians murdered in a five-week Israeli bombing of Hamas in reprisal for the terrorist organization's deadly october 7 raid in southern israel surpassed 11,000, prompting pleas from throughout the world for Israeli moderation. As the number of casualties increased and combat between Israeli forces and Hamas terrorists near and around hospitals intensified, israel came under increasing international pressure, notably from its principal partner the United States, to do more to safeguard Palestinian people residing in Gaza.

On a visit to india on friday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made the toughest remarks he has ever made to reporters on the situation of civilians caught in the crossfire in Gaza: "Far too many Palestinians have been killed; far too many have suffered these past weeks."
