According to reports, Iran has launched a missile attack on Tel Aviv in response to the deaths of former Iranian supreme leader Ali Larijani and others, though independent verification of these specific claims and casualty lists is currently pending.

Following recent missile strikes attributed to escalating tensions in southern Lebanon and Beirut, Iran reportedly issued a warning to Israel. These claims are currently unverified, though they reflect the ongoing regional instability involving the parties.

Gaza ceasefire frays as Israeli strikes kill three Palestinians Israeli strikes and tank fire killed three Palestinians in Gaza despite the ceasefire. The incidents underscored the truce's fragility as Iran's new leadership tightened control at home.

Three Palestinians were killed in separate Israeli strikes and fire in Gaza on Saturday, according to local health officials, in the latest violence despite a fragile ceasefire that has held since October. At the same time, Iran's new leadership appears to be preparing for a potentially long confrontation with the United States while showing no tolerance for dissent at home after six months of war.

In Gaza City, two Palestinians were killed and another was wounded in an Israeli strike on a motorbike, officials at Shifa hospital said. The Israeli military said it struck a "military operative" but did not give further details. In eastern Deir al-Balah, tank fire killed a farmer, according to officials at Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital, where the body was taken.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment. In another incident, an airstrike on the compound of Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital wounded three Palestinians, officials in Gaza's health ministry said. Israel's military said it had "struck a Hamas commander who planned to execute terror attacks" adjacent to the compound.

It accused the commander of hiding in the hospital compound and said medical authorities in Gaza had been warned on Thursday that medical facilities should not be used for "terrorist purposes" and that Israeli forces would act on any threat if that continued.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital did not comment on the strike. While the heaviest fighting in Gaza has subsided, Israel's military has killed at least 1,313 Palestinians since October, according to Gaza's health ministry. The ministry, which is part of the Hamas-led government, keeps detailed casualty records that UN agencies and independent experts generally consider reliable, though it does not provide a breakdown of civilians and militants.

In Iran, the new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, has not been seen in public since his father and other senior leaders were killed in the opening strikes of the war on February 28, when the United States and Israel attacked. Appointments announced on August 11 and 12 showed that he had surrounded himself with longstanding personal allies, including Mohsen Rezaei as the new secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council and Hossein Taeb as the new head of the Basij, the Revolutionary Guard's volunteer street force.

The latest developments therefore pointed to continuing violence in Gaza even under a fragile ceasefire, while Iran's new leadership moved to consolidate power at home during the wider regional conflict.

Gaza health officials reported that Israeli strikes and fire killed three Palestinians on Saturday, while the Israeli military stated it targeted a military operative and a Hamas commander, claims that remain unverified. The incident highlights conflicting accounts regarding the specifics of the strikes, with local authorities citing casualties and the military providing targeted justifications.
