Israel-Gaza-Lebanon live updates: 'No cease-fire' in Lebanon, defense minister says

At least 62 Palestinians were killed and 147 were wounded in five IDF attacks across the Gaza Strip within the last 48 hours as the situation in the north remains dire, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health.

The IDF launched strikes on Beit Hanoun in the north, Deir Al Balah and the Al-Mawasi area Tuesday morning, where displaced people were sheltering in west of Khan Yunis.

Several strikes on southern Beirut were reported as well. In Lebanon, at least 3,287 people have been killed and 14,222 wounded since October 2023.

Several large airstrikes rocked the Lebanese capital Beirut on Tuesday morning, shortly after the Israel Defense Forces issued new evacuation orders for people living in the southern suburbs of Dahiya.

Dahiya -- known as a Hezbollah stronghold -- has borne the brunt of Israeli airstrikes on the capital. It was here that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed by a massive Israeli attack in September.

The IDF has said it is targeting Hezbollah operatives, weapons manufacturing facilities and arms storage sites in the area.

Lebanese authorities say 3,200 people have been killed by Israeli strikes since cross-border fighting with Hezbollah flared again on Oct. 8, 2023.

The Israel Defense Forces and the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories agency announced Tuesday the opening of a new humanitarian aid crossing into the Gaza Strip, on the same day a U.S. deadline to improve the flow of aid expired.

"In accordance with directives from the political echelon, and as part of the effort and commitment to increase the volume and routes of aid to the Gaza Strip, the 'Kisufim' crossing was opened" for "the transfer of humanitarian aid trucks," the statement said.

The deliveries will include "food, water, medical supplies and shelter equipment to central and southern Gaza," the statement said. The supplies underwent "strict security checks at the Kerem Shalom crossing" before being sent into the strip, the IDF and COGAT said.

An Oct. 13 letter signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned that continued failure to allow adequate aid into Gaza may trigger U.S. laws restricting military support for Israel.

Among the letter's demands were that Israel allow a minimum of 350 truckloads of goods to enter Gaza each day, that it open a fifth crossing into the besieged territory, that it allow people in Israeli-imposed coastal tent camps to move inland before the winter and that it ensure access for aid groups to hard-hit northern Gaza.

The letter also called on Israel to halt legislation -- since passed -- that would hinder the operations of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA.

A group of eight aid agencies published a joint statement Tuesday alleging that Israel has failed to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza in the 30-day window set by the U.S.

The U.S. deadline for Israel to "surge" food and other humanitarian aid into the devastated territory expires Tuesday.

Officials including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned last month that Israel's failure to deliver may trigger laws requiring the U.S. to restrict military aid to Israel.

The eight NGOs -- among them Oxfam America, the Norwegian Refugee Council and Save the Children -- awarded Israel a "failing grade" in meeting U.S. demands.

"The facts are clear: the humanitarian situation in Gaza is now at its worst point since the war began in October 2023," the statement said.

"This new analysis clearly demonstrates that the Israeli government is violating its obligations under U.S. and international law to facilitate humanitarian relief for suffering Palestinians in Gaza," Refugees International President -- and former senior USAID official -- Jeremy Konyndyk said.

"With experts again projecting imminent famine in north Gaza, there is no time to lose. The United States must impose immediate restrictions on security cooperation with Israel," he added.
