At least 93 people have been killed in an Israeli strike in northern Gaza, according to officials. Meanwhile, in Lebanon the Hezbollah militant group has elected a new leader after the death of Hassan Nasrallah - and in Israel, the UN Palestinian agency has been banned from operating.
UN aid agency UNRWA has been 'exposed' over links with Hamas to the point where the organisation is not a 'few bad apples' but a 'whole rotten orchard', an Israeli government spokesman has claimed.The aid agency, which is responsible for more than five million Palestinian refugees, has come under repeated attack by Benjamin Netanyahu, who says it has links to Hamas and other militant groups.
'He also claimed all the militants involved in the 7 October attacks were 'graduates of the UNRWA education system'.Pressed by Secker that this is because there are no other organisations providing schools in Gaza or the West Bank, he said UNRWA is a 'huge problem'.
