Biden supports ceasefire in Israel and Palestinian territories, attacks continue

Tonight there are also reports of bombings in the Gaza Strip. It is still unclear what the extent of this is. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reports that a medical laboratory has been damaged, preventing the health service from conducting corona tests or vaccinations.

In addition, the headquarters of the Qatari aid organization Red Crescent has been bombed, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports. According to Doha News Two Palestinians were killed in the Israeli bombing. The Qatar government condemns the attack. “This is a clear violation of international law,” the country said a statement.

Missiles from Lebanon

Last night, the Israeli army reported that it had fired on targets in Lebanon after six missiles had been fired at Israel from that country. The projectiles would have landed before the border with Israel, the army says. Lebanese security forces say only three missiles were fired. It is not known who was behind the attack.

The UN mission in Lebanon, Unifil, says a tweet that additional patrols are being carried out in the area to prevent escalations, but that it is now quiet again along the Lebanese-Israeli border.

The recent violence has so far claimed the lives of 212 Palestinians, 61 of whom are minors, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reports. On the Israeli side, 11 deaths have been reported, of whom a person as a result of the riots between Jewish and Arab Israelis in the city of Lod.
