Israel-Gaza-Lebanon updates: Iranian president responds to Israel's retaliation

The Israel Defense Forces wrote on X on Thursday morning that around 50 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory.

The launches set off air alert sirens in the Upper and Western Galilee areas, with some projectiles intercepted and other landing, the IDF said.

Israel's Magen David Adom emergency service said paramedics evacuated three people suffering from shrapnel injuries to the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya. Two of the victims were in moderate condition and one in mild condition, the service said.

The IDF also reported two missiles fired from Lebanon into northern Israel which it said "fell in open areas."

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant Wednesday to discuss Israel's operations in Lebanon and the humanitarian situation in Gaza, the Pentagon said in a statement.

"Secretary Austin welcomed the movement of humanitarian assistance through the Erez crossing and urged the Government of Israel to take all necessary steps to address the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza," Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said of the call.

Austin also asked that Gallant and Israel "seize opportunities for the release of hostages and a ceasefire" following the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

Austin also expressed concerns about the reports of Israeli strikes that have struck Lebanese forces and "emphasized the importance of taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of the Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL forces," according to the statement.

Nearly 200,000 people have been displaced across various regions of Lebanon as the number of Israeli strikes on the country approaches 11,000, according to a report from the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.

The highest concentrations of displaced persons are in Mount Lebanon and Beirut, though the estimated total number of displaced individuals is likely much higher, the ministry said.

At least 2,574 people were killed and 12,001 others were injured since the increase in strikes began, the ministry said.

Since the increase in strikes began, 1,097 centers have been established to accommodate the displaced, with 922 of these centers reaching maximum capacity, the ministry said.

From Sept. 23 to Oct. 23, 344,819 Syrian nationals and 150,104 Lebanese nationals crossed the Lebanese border into Syria, the ministry said.
