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

Initial reports of a large-scale ongoing Israeli military operation in Jabalia, a city in northern Gaza, has left dozens killed and wounded, the Hamas-run Gaza Civil Defense said Thursday.

The operation consisted of explosions blowing up 11 houses in one block in Jabalia, the Gaza Civil Defense said.

Additionally, Israeli operations are ongoing in Khan Yunis, a city in southern Gaza Thursday evening, the Gaza Civil Defense said.

The Israel Defense Forces has issued another evacuation order for the southern suburbs of Beirut on Thursday evening.

At least 24 people were injured after an Israeli airstrike on Nahle Road, Baalbek, and 16 people were injured after an Israeli strike on Tyre and surrounding areas, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health said Thursday.

Overall, 2,574 people have been killed and 12,001 injured since the start of Israel's increased attacks on Lebanon in mid-September, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced that the head of Israel’s intelligence agency will travel to Doha, Qatar, on Sunday for a meeting with the CIA director and the Qatari prime minister as part of efforts to resume talks for a cease-fire and hostage exchange deal.

This comes after a high-level Egyptian security delegation met with a delegation of Hamas leaders in Cairo on Thursday as part of efforts to restart negotiations for a cease-fire in Gaza, Egypt’s state-owned Al-Qahera News reported.

Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said "there’s a possibility of reaching a sharp conclusion" with Lebanese militant group Hezbollah in the north.

"We thoroughly dismantled Hezbollah’s senior chain of command,” he said Wednesday while touring the hard-hit northern Gaza Strip.

The IDF said Halevi "conducted a situational assessment" of the Jabaliya area amid an ongoing offensive there against Hamas.

"Another achievement -- Jabaliya is falling, this is another psychological collapse. Both physically and psychologically,” Halevi said. “And if we take out the northern Gaza Brigade commander, it's another collapse. These moves, again, I don't know what we'll encounter tomorrow, but this pressure brings us closer to more achievements."
