    The ministry said Israeli forces were still holding Jaabari's body.

    Israeli strikes kill one in south Lebanon: health ministry

    By: AFP

    The Israeli army carried out several strikes on southern Lebanon on Sunday, killing one person, according to Lebanese authorities, with the military saying it targeted a Hezbollah member and infrastructure.

    The strikes came days after the Lebanese military said it had completed disarming Hezbollah south of the Litani River, the first phase of a nationwide plan, though Israel has called those efforts insufficient.

    The Lebanese ministry of health said an "Israeli enemy strike on a car in Bent Jbeil city in south Lebanon resulted in the martyrdom of one citizen".

    The Israeli army said the strike was on a member of Hezbollah, which it accused of breaching a truce agreed in late 2024 to end more than a year of hostilities with the group.

    Israeli fire kills three Palestinians in Gaza as tension rises

    By: Reuters

    Israeli fire killed at least three Palestinians in two separate incidents across the enclave, local health authorities said, as tension rises over continued violence by Israeli forces.

    Medics said one Palestinian was killed in the Tuffah neighbourhood in Gaza City, in an area under Palestinian control, while two others were killed in the town of Bani Suhaila east of Khan Younis, an area Israel still occupies.

    A Hamas official told Reuters that the group urged mediators to intervene to stop "daily Israeli killings that aim to derail the ceasefire deal."

    In Gaza hospital, patients cling to MSF as Israel orders it out

    By: AFP

    At a hospital in Gaza, wards are filled with patients fearing they will be left without care if Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is forced out under an Israeli ban due to take effect in March.

    AFP spoke with patients and relatives at Nasser Hospital, all of whom expressed the same fear: that without MSF, there would be nowhere left to turn.

    MSF says it currently provides at least 20% of hospital beds in Gaza and operates around 20 health centres.

    In 2025 alone, it carried out more than 800,000 medical consultations and over 10,000 deliveries.

    "It's almost impossible to find an organisation that will come here and be able to replace all what we are doing currently in Gaza," Nicolet told AFP, noting that MSF not only provides medical care but also distributes drinking water to a population worn down by a prolonged war.

    "So this is not really realistic."
