US warns it could cut military assistance unless aid delivery to Gaza Strip improves
Lebanon, Gaza hit by deadly strikes as Israel faces aid deadline

Israel launched deadly strikes on Gaza and Lebanon on Nov 10, ahead of an American deadline for improved aid delivery to the Palestinian territory.

Rescuers in Gaza on Nov 10 said 30 people, including 13 children, were killed by Israeli strikes in the territory's north.

The first strike early in the day hit a house in Jabalia, killing "at least 25" people including 13 children and injuring more than 30, the Palestinian territory's civil defence agency said.

Vowing to stop Hamas militants from regrouping in north Gaza, Israel on Oct 6 began a major air and ground assault.

The United Nations has described the area as under "siege", and the US set a deadline of this week for Israel to get more aid in or face possible cuts to military assistance.

Another strike on the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City killed five people, with others still missing, civil defence said.

"A number of civilians are still under the rubble," it said.

Contacted by AFP, the Israeli military said it was "looking into the reports" of the strikes.

Lebanon's Health Ministry, meanwhile, said an Israeli strike on the village of Almat, north of Beirut, killed 20 people, including three children, on Nov 10.

In Lebanon's south, Israeli strikes killed three Hezbollah-affiliated rescuers, the ministry also said.

The war in Gaza erupted with Hamas' Oct 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel, which resulted in 1,206 deaths, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures.

Israel's retaliatory campaign has killed 43,603 people in Gaza, according to figures from the Hamas-run territory's Health Ministry.
