Lebanon's health ministry says two people have been killed after an Israeli strike on a car in Jounieh.

The car was reportedly hit as it was travelling on the main highway connecting Beirut to the north of Lebanon.

Lebanese state-run National News Agency (NNA) says emergency services rushed to the scene after reports of "a loud explosion", adding that a car was hit by "three missiles" near the highway.

The Israeli military says it's looking into the report, while there's been no comment so far from Hezbollah.

The Israeli military says its air force has killed Hezbollah's deputy commander in the Bint Jbeil area of southern Lebanon.

According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Naser Abed al-Aziz Rashid was involved in “terrorist activities against Israeli civilians”.

Hezbollah has not commented.

A drone was launched towards Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's home in Caesarea, northern Israel, his spokesman says.

Netanyahu was not in the building and there were no casualties, the spokesman adds.

The Israeli military earlier said three drones had been fired towards the coastal town early on Saturday. One hit a building, while the other two were intercepted, it added.

A British doctor working in southern Gaza says her hospital is so low on medical supplies that staff are forced to ration items, “using just one glove sometimes”.

“I’ve never seen such a lack of access to basic medical items needed to be a doctor,” Dr Clare Frost tells the BBC's Today programme, "even gloves and gauze - we just have such a chronic short supply”.

Frost, from Wales, works for humanitarian medical NGO UK-Med, and has been in al-Mawasi - west of the southern city of Khan Younis - for the past five weeks.

"It’s an incredibly difficult and hostile environment to be a healthcare worker in Gaza," she says.

She treats more than 400 patients a day and for children, "we’re seeing lots of blast injuries…who’ve lost one or two limbs".

Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza has come under "heavy gunfire" from Israeli forces.

In an update, the ministry says the upper floors of the hospital, in the territory's northern town of Beit Lahia, have been targeted.

There are "more than 40 patients and wounded in addition to medical staff" inside the hospital, the ministry says, adding that and electricity has been "completely cut off". Israel has not yet commented.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says about 20 missiles crossed into Israel from Lebanon late on Friday night.

Some were intercepted and others fell in open areas, the IDF adds.

In another update, the IDF says a "hostile aircraft" was also detected in the western and Upper Galilee areas. It says it's reviewing the details.

And in the past hour, the Israeli military says it intercepted two drones crossing from Lebanon, with a third drone hitting a structure in Caesarea. No one was injured, it adds.

Meanwhile, in posts on Telegram, Hezbollah says it fired rockets at several locations in northern Israel overnight including Safed, Malkiya and Avivim.

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says Hamas was "alive and will remain alive" despite the death of its leader, Yahya Sinwar.

Sinwar, the key figure behind the 7 October attacks on Israel, was killed after Israeli troops attacked a building in Rafah earlier this week.

"His loss is undoubtedly painful for the Axis of Resistance, but this front did not cease advancing with the martyrdom of prominent figures", Khamenei says in a statement.

The "Axis of Resistance", backed by Iranian support, includes Hamas, the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, as well as other armed groups around the Middle East which have attacked Israel.

"He was a shining face of resistance and struggle. With a steely resolve, he stood against the oppressive and aggressive enemy," Khamenei adds.

There’s little immediate sign that the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is changing the course of the war in Gaza.

Overnight, the Israeli military appeared to continue its offensive in the north and in the Jabalia refugee camp.

On Friday evening, the Hamas-run administration in Gaza said the homes of three families were hit by an airstrike. It says at least 33 people, 21 of them women, have been killed and 85 injured.

Video posted to social media – which the BBC has not yet verified – appears to show bodies wrapped in blankets and shrouds on the floor of the nearby Al Awda hospital.

The director of the hospital has sent a message to reporters telling them that its wards are full and that people are being treated on the floor.

This morning, the Hamas-run health ministry say another hospital in northern Gaza has come under Israeli fire with the top floor targeted by artillery rounds.

The Israeli military has yet to respond to our request for comment on these specific incidents but in the last few weeks has been urging people to leave northern Gaza. It says it is looking for Hamas fighters.

But many civilians have stayed behind in what United Nations officials say are “atrocious conditions”.

At least 33 people have been killed and 85 others wounded in Israeli air strikes at Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza on Friday, the strip's Hamas-run authorities say.

The final death toll could reach 50, a statement from Gaza's government media office says, as people were buried under the rubble of buildings. There was no immediate comment from Israel on the reported attack.

Israeli forces have been besieging the densely-populated camp for weeks, saying its offensive there is intended to prevent Hamas fighters regrouping for more attacks.

About 400,000 people have been trapped inside the camp with little food or water for more than two weeks.

Fighting also continues in Lebanon, where Israel has been conducting a ground invasion against Hezbollah.

Israel's military says it killed about 60 Hezbollah fighters and destroyed the Iran-backed group's regional command centre with an air strike, while Hezbollah says it fired rockets at the Israeli city of Haifa and areas to its north.
