An Israeli drone strike in Gaza’s Bureij refugee camp on Saturday killed Al Jazeera cameraman Ahmed Wishah, the Qatar-based network confirmed, as Israeli military officials alleged without evidence that he was a Hamas operative. Palestinian health officials reported at least six additional deaths in Gaza overnight, while Israeli strikes in Lebanon—despite a reported ceasefire—killed at least eight people, including two children and a Lebanese soldier, according to rescuers and local authorities cited by the BBC .

Wishah, 32, is the twelfth Al Jazeera journalist killed in Gaza since October 2023, according to the network’s tally. His mother was filmed at the morgue in Khan Younis, cradling his body as she mourned, in footage published by Al Jazeera . The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) issued a statement confirming the strike and identifying Wishah as a “Hamas terrorist,” but provided no corroborating evidence. Al Jazeera condemned the killing as a “flagrant violation of international law” and demanded an independent investigation.

In Lebanon, Israeli airstrikes resumed on Saturday despite a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah that took effect on Friday. At least 108 people were killed in the Bekaa Valley and the southern coastal city of Tyre, according to Austrian broadcaster ORF . The Israeli army initially claimed its strikes were in response to Hezbollah rocket fire, but Hezbollah denied violating the truce and accused Israel of initiating hostilities immediately after the agreement. Israeli warplanes and drones struck Baalbek in eastern Lebanon on Friday, wounding five people and killing 28 since morning—the deadliest escalation since Washington and Tehran signed a ceasefire memorandum on Wednesday .

Palestinian officials reported five deaths in Gaza on Saturday, including four members of the same family—a man, his wife, and their two children—killed in an airstrike on Gaza City. A separate drone strike in northern Gaza killed a fifth person. The IDF stated it had targeted two members of Hamas’s military wing and Islamic Jihad, but did not link these operations to Wishah’s killing .

The escalation threatens to derail indirect talks between Iran and the US in Switzerland, scheduled to begin on Sunday. Iran’s foreign ministry announced the Strait of Hormuz would be closed again in retaliation for the Lebanese strikes, further tightening global oil markets. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reaffirmed Washington’s support for Lebanon and called for Hezbollah’s disarmament during a call with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, who urged a comprehensive ceasefire ahead of next week’s negotiations .
