A major Gaza hospital that had suspended several services due to diesel shortages said it resumed some operations after receiving fuel but warned the supplies would only last about two days.
Ravaged by more than two years of war, the Al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza's Nuseirat district cares for around 60 in-patients and receives nearly 1,000 people seeking medical treatment each day.
Earlier today, a senior official involved in managing the hospital, Ahmed Mehanna, said "most services have been temporarily stopped due to a shortage of the fuel needed for the generators".
"Only essential departments remain operational: the emergency unit, maternity ward and paediatrics," he had told AFP, adding that the hospital rented a small generator to keep those services running.
He had warned that a prolonged fuel shortage "would pose a direct threat to the hospital's ability to deliver basic services".
Under normal conditions, Al-Awda Hospital consumes between 1,000 and 1,200 litres of diesel per day, but it only had some 800 litres available.
Later today, Mr Mehanna said that "this evening, 2,500 litres of fuel arrived from the World Health Organisation, and we immediately resumed operations".
"This quantity of fuel will last only two and a half days, but we have been promised an additional delivery next Sunday," he added.
Mohammed Salha, the hospital's acting director, accused Israeli authorities of deliberately restricting fuel supplies to hospitals in Gaza.
"We are knocking on every door to continue providing services, but while the occupation allows fuel for international institutions, it restricts it for local health facilities such as Al-Awda," Mr Salha told AFP.
Despite a fragile truce observed since 10 October, Gaza remains engulfed in a severe humanitarian crisis.
Israel says it killed Iran's Quds Force member in Lebanon
The Israeli military has said that its forces killed a member of Iran's Quds Force in Lebanon who had been involved in planning attacks from Syria and Lebanon.
The military identified the man as Hussein Mahmoud Marshad al-Jawhari, calling him a key operative in the force's unit 840.
He was assassinated in the area or Ansariyeh, a statement added, without giving any further details of his death.
Al-Jawhari "operated under the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and was involved in terrorist activities, directed by Iran, against the State of Israel and its security forces," the statement said.
Israel and Iran fought a brief war in June and the Israeli military has been carrying out strikes in Lebanon on a near-daily basis, in what it says is an effort to stop Iranian-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah from rebuilding.
A US-backed ceasefire agreed in November 2024 ended more than a year of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah and required the disarmament of the powerful armed group, beginning in areas south of the river adjacent to Israel.
There has been no comment from Iran or Lebanon.
Two dead in West Bank attack
A Palestinian from the Israeli-occupied West Bank killed a man and a woman in a stabbing and car-ramming attack in northern Israel before he was shot and wounded today, police and rescuers said.
"Preliminary investigation indicates this was a rolling terror attack that began in the city of Beit Shean, where a pedestrian was run over," the police said in a statement, adding the victim was a 68-year-old man.
"Later, a young woman was stabbed near Road 71, and the suspect was ultimately engaged with gunfire near Maonot Junction in Afula following intervention by a civilian bystander," it said, adding that the attacker was taken to a hospital.
Both the victims succumbed to the injuries, Israel's emergency service provider Magen David Adom said in a statement.
MDA also reported that a 16-year-old teenager was slightly injured when "hit by a vehicle".
The Israeli military said the attacker had "infiltrated into Israeli territory several days ago".
The attack came a day after an Israeli military reservist dressed in civilian clothes rammed his vehicle into a Palestinian man in the West Bank, after earlier firing shots in the area.
"Footage was received of an armed individual running over a Palestinian individual," the Israeli military said in a statement, adding the individual was a reservist and his military service had been terminated.
The reservist acted "in severe violation of his authority" and his weapon had been confiscated, it said.
Israeli media reported that the man was being held under house arrest.
The Palestinian man went to hospital for checks after the attack, but was unhurt and is now at home.
Video, which aired on Palestinian TV, shows a man in civilian clothing with a gun slung over his shoulder driving an off-road vehicle into a man praying on the side of the road.
This year was one of the most violent on record for Israeli civilian attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank, according to United Nations data that shows more than 750 injuries.
More than a thousand Palestinians were killed in the West Bank between 7 October, 2023 and 17 October, 2025, mostly in operations by security forces and some by settler violence, according to the UN.
In the same period, 57 Israelis were killed in Palestinian attacks.
