Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

It is now just after 7am in Palestine, Lebanon and Israel. Here are the latest updates from the Israeli war on Gaza and Lebanon, now in its 376th day: 

  • At least one Israeli strike hit the southern suburbs of Beirut at dawn on Wednesday after going days without attacking the Lebanese capital. 

  • Round-the-clock Israeli bombing across Gaza and Lebanon did not stop overnight. At least 10 people were killed in an Israeli bombing on Qana village in southern Lebanon on Tuesday night, while five people were killed in a bombing on Naser neighbourhood in Gaza City just before dawn. 

  • Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said he was starting a regional tour including stops in Jordan, Egypt and Turkey as part of a diplomatic effort to "end genocide, atrocity and aggression".
