Israel Escalates Attacks on Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon

Israel is escalating its attacks in the Middle East, launching new raids on Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon, despite ceasefires. In Gaza, Israeli artillery and helicopters bombed tents housing displaced Palestinians, resulting in the death of a 5-year-old girl and her uncle, bringing the total number of Palestinian deaths to at least 422 since the ceasefire began. The Nasser Medical Complex also reported an attack on a tent in the Al-Mawasi area, causing new injuries. According to Palestinian officials, 88% of buildings in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed, with over 2 million residents living in makeshift conditions. Additionally, house collapses due to previous raids were reported, with a 29-year-old father and his 8-year-old son as victims. Simultaneously, children in Gaza are experiencing severe trauma and have lost two school years, with education taking place in makeshift schools under the fear of new attacks.
