Live: At least 75 killed in Israeli strikes on second day of Eid al-Adha

At least 72 people have been killed by Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since Thursday morning, Al Jazeera Arabic reported, citing medical sources. 

The death toll in Gaza has soared as Israel ramps up its attacks.

Israel launched devastating attacks on Jabalia refugee camp and Al-Maghazi refugee camp on Thursday night local time. The death toll from the strikes has been rising. 

At least six Palestinians were killed by an Israeli attack on a house in the Jabalia refugee camp, according to Al Jazeera Arabic. 

The initial death toll was reported as four. 

Israel launched fresh strikes across Gaza on Thursday killing at least nine people, according to Arabic media. 

At least four Palestinians were killed by an Israeli attack on a house in Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, according to Al Jazeera Arabic. 

Meanwhile, five people were killed and several wounded during an Israeli raid on a house in Al-Maghazi camp in central Gaza.

At least 61 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes on Gaza since dawn on Thursday, Al Jazeera reported, citing medical sources. 

Israel has launched strikes across the besieged enclave, with several casualties reported in Deir al-Balah on Thursday evening.

Detained American green card holder and Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil was allowed to hold his one-month-old son for the first time on Thursday.

A federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s efforts to keep the father and infant separated by a plexiglass barrier.

Khalil's wife, a US citizen, recently slammed the Trump administration for keeping her detained husband away from their son by preventing visits. 

Israel has launched more strikes on Lebanon on Thursday, according to Arabic media reports.

The Israeli strikes hit Sujoud, Touline, Sawanna, and the Rihan Mountain.

Lebanon’s National News Agency said the Israeli strikes were some of the heaviest since the ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel went into effect in November 2024. 

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Israel's current war on the Gaza Strip was "unjustified", as he called for an immediate ceasefire in the enclave and the resumption of humanitarian aid.

“What is happening there is unjustified and unacceptable. Israel must stop these operations immediately,” Mitsotakis told Greek media. 

Greece has emerged as a close partner of Israel in recent years. 

Israel bombed a building in southern Lebanon on Thursday after Israel's military issued an evacuation call warning of imminent strikes. 

Lebanon's National News Agency said that "the Israeli enemy" struck a building in the southern town of Toul. There were no immediate reports of any casualties.

Israel said it was targeting Hezbollah. 

The UN agency for Palestinian children says the trickle of aid that reached its warehouse in Gaza on Wednesday is “vastly insufficient”.

“Children are in urgent need of food, water and protection,” Unicef Palestine said in a social media post.

Unicef said 508 pallets of nutrition reached its warehouse.

Israel’s ambassador to the European Union, Haim Regev, on Thursday spoke about a “diplomatic erosion” in Israel's ties to EU member states. 

“There is no diplomatic tsunami, but there is certainly a diplomatic erosion that must be addressed,” Regev told reporters during a press briefing in Brussels, according to Walla.

The UK suspended its trade talks with Israel earlier this week. Meanwhile, European Union states have said they are open to reviewing their economic framework agreement. 

At least three Palestinians were killed and several others wounded in an Israeli strike on a house south of Deir el-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, according to Al Jazeera Arabic. 

Israel has been escalating its strikes across Gaza on Thursday. 

In response to the killing of two Israeli embassy staff members in Washington, DC, Republican Congressman Randy Fine suggested on Fox News that Gaza should be “nuked" like Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. 

Fine was asked whether the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staff members in Washington should impact Gaza ceasefire talks, and he implied the enclave should be totally eliminated in response to the shooting, like the Japanese cities during WWII. 

"That needs to be the same here," Fine said. 

The suspect in the shooting of two staff members belonging to Israel's embassy in Washington, DC, Elias Rodriguez, has left behind an alleged manifesto, according to Arabic and English media. 

Rodriguez cites Israel's war on Gaza as his motivation for fatally shooting two young staff members belonging to Israel's embassy. 

Rodriguez called Israel a "genocidal apartheid state" and accused the American government of aiding it. 

He also referenced Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old serviceman of the United States Air Force who self-immolated in February 2024 in protest against Israel's war on Gaza.

"Others sacrificed themselves in the hopes of stopping the massacre and the state works to make us feel their sacrifice was made in vain, that there is no hope in escalating for Gaza and no point in bringing the war home. We can't let them succeed. Their sacrifices were not made in vain," Rodriguez wrote. 

He also said that "armed demonstration" against Israel would appear like the "sane thing to do" by many Americans. 

France has dismissed claims by Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar that European governments were inciting hatred against his country.

"These are completely outrageous and completely unjustified remarks," foreign ministry spokesman Christophe Lemoine said.

"France has condemned, France condemns and France will continue to condemn, always and unequivocally, any act of antisemitism".

Saar said that the shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington on Wednesday is a result of "antisemitic and anti-Israel incitement" which is "done by leaders and officials of many countries and international organisations, especially from Europe".

On Monday, the leaders of Britain, France and Canada condemned Israel's "egregious actions" in Gaza and warned of joint action if it did not halt a heightened military offensive on the territory.

Last week, France's President Emmanuel Macron accused Netanyahu of "unacceptable" behaviour in holding up aid to the Palestinians in Gaza.

Netanyahu accused Macron of siding with a "murderous Islamist terrorist organisation".

The Palestinian Red Crescent said on Thursday that Palestinians in Gaza have yet to receive aid deliveries that have crossed over the border this week, adding that sending so few trucks was an "invitation for killing" because of the risk of mobbing.

"I can prove that nobody has received [aid]. No civilian has received anything yet. In fact, say most of these trucks are still in Karem Shalom at the border, inspected, but not into Gaza," Younis al-Khatib, President of the Palestine Red Crescent Society, told reporters.

"It's very hard to hide the rush or the looting that will happen," he added.
