Lebanon's health ministry has said an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in southern Lebanon killed at least four people.
The strikes were the latest in a series of deadly attacks in south Lebanon despite a November ceasefire deal with Israel after more than a year of hostilities, including two months of open war.
An "Israeli enemy strike on a car in Yohmor al-Shaqeef led to the death of four people", said a health ministry statement reported by the National News Agency.
The NNA said an "enemy drone" targeted a vehicle near the town, in a strike that came at the same time as artillery shelling.
Israel's parliament has passed a controversial law granting elected officials more power in appointing judges, a move swiftly challenged by the opposition.
The legislation was approved by a vote of 67 in favour and one against, with the opposition boycotting the early-morning session.
Israel's parliament, the Knesset, has 120 lawmakers.
The vote reflects Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's determination to push ahead with his controversialjudicial reform plan, which sparked one of the largest protest movements in Israel's history in 2023 before being overtaken by the war on Gaza.
A young Palestinian man has been killed in southern Nablus, in the latest Israeli attacks in the northern occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The ministry said in a statement that the Israeli army killed the 18-year-old Palestinian, Ismail Sharfa, near Huwara town, south of Nablus city.
According to eyewitnesses, the Israeli army seized his body.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army carried out further raids in areas across the occupied West Bank, detaining more Palestinians.
The Yemeni Houthi group has reported the killing of two people as a result of US air strikes on the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.
The Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV said: "An American aggression with four raids targeted a stone-cutting site in the Arqoub area of Khawlan district in the Sanaa Province."
It added that the US raids killed two people and injured two others.
On Wednesday evening, the group reported 15 airstrikes on Sanaa.
Lebanese official media has said an overnight Israeli strike killed one person in the country's south, amid a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
"One person was killed and another wounded in the Israeli drone targeting... of a car in the town Maaroub," the state-run National News Agency reported.
Maaroub lies about 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the border in Lebanon's southern Tyre district. Separately, the agency reported "enemy artillery" hit another area in the south on Thursday morning.
New Zealand has called for an immediate return to a ceasefire following a renewed Israeli military offensive on Gaza.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Winston Peters spoke with Palestinian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Mustafa on the latest situation in Gaza.
"They discussed the importance of an immediate resumption of the ceasefire in Gaza, of all hostages being released without delay, and of all sides upholding their international legal obligations," said a statement posted on Peters' official X account.
The Palestinian resistance group Hamas’ spokesperson Abdel-Latif Al-Qanoua has been killed in an Israeli air strike in northern besieged Gaza, the latest group figure to be killed since Israel resumed its onslaught in the blockaded enclave.
Al-Qanoua was killed when his tent was targeted in Jabalia, Al-Aqsa television said. The same strike wounded several people, while separate attacks killed at least six in Gaza City and one in southern Gaza's Khan Younis, medical sources said.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz announced that he is barring former defence minister and Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon from participating in events held at Israeli military bases following Ya'alon's allegations that the army committed ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in besieged Gaza.
Ya'alon is "the man who claimed that Israeli soldiers are carrying out ethnic cleansing in Gaza, described the war as futile, and even implied he hopes Israel won't send soldiers to kill children in Gaza," said a letter that Katz received from the father of an Israeli soldier killed in Gaza and Matan Peleg, the head of the right-wing Im Tirtzu organisation.
