Grieving mother in Gaza mourns child killed in Israeli strike

A heartbroken Palestinian mother who lost her child in the Israeli strikes has called on the world to witness their plight and the suffering of children in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli strikes on Friday killed 12 Palestinians, including Ameera Al-Shaer's 8-year-old child Hamdi Al-Shaer.

"We can't find food. We can't find water. What should I say, what should I say, what should I even speak? We can't find shelter and not even phone charging," Al-Shaer cried out in footage captured by a China Global Television Network (CGTN) stringer who visited Khan Younis, southern Gaza, to capture the aftermath of the attack.

"I wish you would come and see my condition and the shelter. Come and look at my children's miserable situation. Come see the sorrow, misery, and hardship. Come and see," she said.

Authorities said in a statement that an Israeli drone targeted a vehicle belonging to the Palestinian police in the "Bir 19" area in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, causing casualties and injuries.

Local sources and eyewitnesses also said Israeli artillery shelled multiple residential houses near Kamal Adwan Hospital in the town of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.

The developments came amid ongoing tensions and reported violations of the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel since Oct 10, 2025.

As of Sunday, Gaza-based health authorities reported that 811 people have been killed, with 2,278 injured.

The overall death toll since October 2023 has risen to 72,587, with 172,381 injured.

Israel's military said on Thursday it had destroyed more than 2 km of underground Hezbollah infrastructure at the Ali al-Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon, after taking control of the area above and below ground.

The military said the network contained a command complex, weapons stores and living quarters, as well as dozens of Iranian-made rockets, missiles and drones, anti-tank missiles, mines and explosives.

It said the tunnels had been built over two decades with Iranian funding and included a command center belonging to Hezbollah's Badr unit, a major regional military division responsible for southern Lebanon's territory north of the Litani River up to the Sidon area.

Hezbollah did not immediately comment on the Israeli announcement.

Lebanon's official National News Agency reported Thursday that the Israeli army carried out a powerful explosion at Ali al-Taher Hill on the outskirts of Nabatieh al-Fawqa, causing tremors and a loud blast that was strongly heard across Nabatieh and surrounding areas.

The Ali al-Taher Ridge, about 15 km from the Israeli border, has become a key battleground in the Israel-Hezbollah conflict. Israeli forces remain deployed in territory in southern Lebanon despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire and repeated Lebanese demands for their withdrawal.
