Israel strikes Gaza mosque, battles Hezbollah in Lebanon

On July 29, 2026, Israeli forces carried out an airstrike on a mosque in Gaza City, saying it was used as an arms depot. Palestinian officials reported that one person was killed and the mosque was destroyed. Residents fled the area before the strike, according to video footage.

Separately, the Israeli military said it destroyed a Hezbollah command tunnel near a UNIFIL post, and a bulldozer was hit by a Hezbollah drone. Israeli Defense Minister Katz said 24 villages in southern Lebanon have been completely razed, and the IDF chief warned troops could push deeper into the area if needed.
