Mourners attend the funeral procession of a woman and two children who were killed in an Israeli strike that targeted Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut's southern suburb a day earlier. The Israeli military said its fighter jets "eliminated" Shukr in the area of Beirut, accusing him of being responsible for a rocket strike on the annexed Golan Heights, while a source close to Hezbollah said he was the target but that he survived the strike.

Palestinian mourners gather for the funeral of three people killed in Jenin in an Israeli air strike on their vehicle. The Israeli military said it had "eliminated" Ahmed Barakat, who it accused of a May 2023 attack that killed an Israeli settler. Jenin and its adjacent refugee camp are a stronghold of armed Palestinian groups opposing Israel, which has occupied the West Bank since 1967. Israeli troops regularly carry out incursions into Palestinian communities but until several months ago had rarely struck the West Bank from the air. IMAGES
