Good morning, Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates from Israel's wars in Gaza and Lebanon:

  • An Israeli strike early Monday hit an apartment building in the Kola district of Beirut, killing four people and marking the first Israeli strike within Beirut’s city limits in the escalating hostilities, AFP reported citing a Lebanese security official.

  • The Palestinian group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), said three of its leaders were killed in the strike that targeted Beirut's Kola district.

  • The Israeli military stated that its fighter jets launched fresh strikes in Lebanon's Bekaa region. At least five people were killed following Israeli strikes in the town of Sahmar in the western Bekaa Valley, according to Al Jazeera.

  • Israeli forces arrested five men in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus during a raid on the camps, Wafa reported.

  • Israeli airstrikes killed two people at Abu Jaafar School, which was sheltering displaced individuals in northern Gaza, and two others — a woman and her child — in Deir el-Balah, Wafa News Agency reported.
