Israel-Gaza-Lebanon live updates: IDF issues south Lebanon warning after ceasefire

All schools in Lebanon will be closed Wednesday due to "ongoing aggression and the current dangerous conditions" in Lebanon from Israel's increased attacks on the country, the Lebanese Minister of Education and Higher Education Dr. Abbas Al-Halabi said Tuesday.

"These measures aim to preserve the safety of students, educational bodies and parents, in light of the ongoing aggression and the current dangerous conditions and the threats announced by the Israeli enemy and his treachery that does not spare the peaceful people and the infrastructure," Al-Halabi said in the statement.

Although Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recommended a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah be approved by the Israeli cabinet Tuesday night, Israel hit Beirut and southern Lebanon with numerous strikes throughout the day Tuesday.

Gaza's Civil Defense vehicles -- which serve emergency functions like search and rescue operations -- are no longer operating in Gaza City because the agency is out of fuel, it announced Tuesday.

Gaza's Civil Defense stopped operating in northern Gaza on Oct. 23.

More than 44,000 people have been killed and over 104,000 injured in Gaza since Oct. 7, the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health said Tuesday.

At least seven people were killed and 37 were injured in Israeli strikes on the Dahieh area of Beirut on Tuesday as Israel continued to strike multiple areas throughout Lebanon, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.

The strikes come amid reports of Israel and Hezbollah nearing a ceasefire agreement.

The Israel Defense Forces issued multiple evacuation orders for areas in the southern suburbs of Beirut and areas in southern Lebanon, including nine warnings about strikes in the Dahieh area of Beirut.

Hezbollah fired 45 projectiles toward Israel on Tuesday, the IDF said. One person was seriously injured after one of the rocket salvos landed in the Haifa and Krayot area of Israel, Israeli emergency services said.

Israel said it conducted strikes on 20 targets in Beirut, including components of Hezbollah's military and financial systems.

"Among the targets struck were a Hezbollah aerial defense unit center, an intelligence center, command centers, weapons storage facilities, an operations room, an artillery storage facility, and terrorist infrastructure sites," Israel said in a statement.

Israel also targeted Al-Qard Al-Hassan Association -- a nonprofit that gives out loans -- alleging it is used by Hezbollah to collect and store funds.

Israel had sent evacuation orders about 20 minutes before the strikes hit. The IDF said they are attacking Hezbollah in Beirut on "a large scale." Black smoke was still visible and covering part of Beirut hours later.

The strikes began just minutes before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was set to meet with his cabinet to discuss a cease-fire deal with Hezbollah.

Earlier Tuesday, there were three other strikes in Beirut.
