Israeli strikes killed dozens in Gaza on Sunday (Nov 17), the civil defence there said, and also hit a central Beirut district where a Lebanese source reported the death of Hezbollah's spokesman in one raid.

A rare Israeli strike in central Beirut killed the Hezbollah militant group’s chief spokesman on Sunday, while an Israeli strike in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya killed at least 30 people, a hospital director said.

Netanyahu has faced months of mass protests over his handling of the hostage crisis unleashed by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack into Israel, which ignited the ongoing war in Gaza.
