Israel-Gaza-Lebanon updates: 87 killed in Israeli strikes on Beit Lahia

The Israel Defense Forces announced it was targeting infrastructure Sunday night in Lebanon that has been linked to the Al-Qard Al-Hassan Association, an organization it alleges is involved in financing Hezbollah.

The United States placed sanctions on the Al-Qard Al-Hassan Association in May 2021 related to financing Hezbollah activities.

The Al-Qard Al-Hassan group has 31 branches in Lebanon -- including in Beirut and Bekaa, officials said. At least one strike was reported Sunday evening in the Chyah neighborhood of Beirut.

"The 'Al-Qard Al-Hassan Association' is involved in financing the terrorist activities of the Hezbollah organization against Israel, and therefore the IDF has decided to attack this terrorist infrastructure," the IDF said in a statement Sunday. "The IDF continues to work forcefully to destroy Hezbollah's terrorist infrastructure. Therefore, we call on people inside buildings used by Hezbollah to stay at least 500 meters away from them for the next few hours."

At least 160 rockets fired by Hezbollah crossed from Lebanon into Israel on Sunday, Israel Defense Forces said, as sirens sounded across northwest Israel, including Haifa, the country's third largest city.

The IDF said the barrage of rockets occurred around 3 p.m. local time and that 30 projectiles crossed into Israel three minutes after they were launched.

No injuries or casualties have been reported. The IDF said some projectiles fell in the north and fire services were working to extinguish the fires that erupted from the attack.

Doctors Without Borders is calling on Israeli forces to "immediately stop their attacks on hospitals in north Gaza," alleging that six of its staff are trapped in a Jabalia hospital without power and one was killed from shrapnel injuries that could not be adequately treated.

In a statement Saturday, the agency -- also known as MSF or Médecins Sans Frontières -- referred to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health in Gaza and other medics on the ground as reporting that Israeli forces are besieging the three main hospitals in northern Gaza. MSF said 350 patients are trapped inside the hospitals, including patients who are pregnant and just underwent surgery.

"The ever-worsening escalation of violence and nonstop Israeli military operations that we have been witnessing over the past two weeks in northern Gaza have horrifying consequences,” MSF's emergency coordinator in Gaza said, adding, "This is purely and simply a collective punishment imposed on Palestinians in Gaza, who must choose between being forcibly displaced from the north or killed. We fear that this will not stop."

There was no immediate comment from the Israel Defense Forces.
