Rocket Fired From Lebanon Hits School in Northern Israel, No Injuries Reported

Here are Friday’s updates from the U.S.-Iran cease-fire and Israel’s war with Hezbollah:

■ UNICEF says Israeli strikes in Lebanon have had a catastrophic impact on civilians, reporting that 33 children were killed and 153 wounded in a single day. The agency says roughly 600 children have been killed or wounded since early March, while more than one million people have been displaced nationwide.

■ Israeli strikes continue across southern Lebanon, with reports of a drone strike in Sharqiyeh killing one person and additional attacks in Hanawya and other areas. Lebanese authorities report continued bombardment as fighting spreads across multiple southern districts. The IDF says it has struck around ten Hezbollah rocket launchers in Lebanon in response to cross-border fire and continues operations to dismantle additional launch sites. The military says it remains in active combat and is not observing a cease-fire with Hezbollah.

■ Hezbollah continues firing rockets into northern Israel, with the IDF reporting dozens of launches overnight and interception attempts. One missile struck a power line in Metula, causing a widespread blackout in the area. A house in a kibbutz in northern Israel was damaged in a direct hit. No injuries were reported.

■ Diplomatic efforts continue around Iran–U.S. cease-fire talks, with Pakistan preparing to host negotiations in Islamabad and delegations from both sides expected to attend.

■ U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, accusing it of failing to ensure safe passage for oil shipments and threatening consequences if disruptions continue.

■ Pakistan’s defense minister deleted a social media post calling Israel “a curse for humanity,” which drew a strong response from Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office.

■ In Gaza, more than 600 aid trucks entered the enclave in a single day, meeting a key humanitarian threshold under the cease-fire framework, according to officials overseeing aid coordination.

■ Spain will be excluded from the U.S.-run Civil-Military Coordination Center in southern Israel after Israel’s Foreign Ministry accused Madrid of taking an “overtly anti-Israel stance.”
