Israel-Gaza-Lebanon live updates: At least 4 killed in IDF strike on Gaza hospital

The attack killed four Israeli soldiers at a base in the north of the country.

The Israel Defense Forces continued intense air and ground campaigns against Hezbollah in Lebanon and against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The uptick in offensive operations came after Israel marked the anniversary of Hamas' Oct. 7 assault, and as Israeli leaders planned their response to Iran's latest ballistic missile attack.

The attacks included the drone strike on an Israel Defense Forces training base in northern Israel, which killed four soldiers and injured 55.

10 killed amid 'total siege' in northern Gaza

Ten people were killed in shelling at an aid distribution center in the Jabalia camp in northern Gaza on Monday morning, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry in the strip.

The area has been the focus of intense recent Israeli military activity, with the Israel Defense Forces reporting fierce fighting with Hamas militants there.

The IDF has ordered residents of northern Gaza -- of whom there are an estimated 200,000 to 400,000 -- to leave the region, which it has classified as a military zone.

Hamas is urging residents to stay, suggesting Israel will not allow those who leave to return.

Gaza's Civil Defense said there was a "complete siege" of Jabalia. Aid agencies have said that no food has been allowed to enter the north of Gaza since Oct. 1.
