In a recent development, Lebanon-based Hezbollah claims to have launched over 100 rockets into Israel. This action follows reports of Israeli forces allegedly attacking Palestinians at the Al-Aqsa mosque during Ramadan.

The Israeli military retaliated by firing rockets towards Lebanon's Baalbek, resulting in one casualty. However, Israel's Iron Dome defense system successfully intercepted the majority of Hezbollah's rockets.

Hezbollah stated that their attack was in response to Israeli aggression near Baalbek, where a civilian was killed. Tensions between Hezbollah and Israel have escalated since the outbreak of the Gaza war, with frequent cross-border exchanges.

Here are key updates on the Israel-Hamas conflict:

• Hezbollah launched over 100 rockets targeting Israeli military bases in the Golan Heights.
• Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's leader, met with Khalil al-Hayya from Hamas to discuss ceasefire efforts and support from regional allies.
• Israel remains firm on its goal to remove Hamas from Gaza, rejecting ceasefire calls despite international condemnation.
• Mediators like Qatar indicate that Israel and Hamas are far from reaching a truce agreement.
• The UN warns of an imminent famine in Gaza, prompting the US to initiate aid deliveries and establish a temporary pier.
• Efforts to broker a ceasefire and secure hostage releases before Ramadan have been ongoing.
• A quarter of Gaza's population faces starvation due to food shortages and soaring prices.
• Palestinians in Gaza rely on charity kitchens for basic meals during Ramadan.
• Gaza's Health Ministry reports over 31,000 Palestinian casualties from the Israeli offensive.
• The conflict between Israel and Hamas, which began in October, risks spreading across the Middle East as Iran-backed groups join the fray.
