At least 50 people killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon and Gaza in last 24 hours | 21 Sept 2024 | At least 50 people have been killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon and Gaza in the last 24 hours. A strike on Friday on the Lebanese capital Beirut killed at least 37 people including three children and seven women, the country's health minister Firas Abiad said. Fifteen of the 68 wounded in the attack remain in hospital. Ali Harake, the head of the rescue team searching through the rubble, told Sky News his team is still looking for between 17 and 18 missing people -- though he fears none have survived. On Saturday evening, IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said Israel had launched more "extensive" strikes in southern Lebanon, with "dozens" of aircraft and rocket launchers striking "terrorist targets."
