The lives of hundreds of thousands of children have been shattered during Israel's yearlong military offensive in Gaza. NBC News spoke to some of them, as well as doctors and aid officials.

For many observers and civilians in Lebanon, the Israeli leader's comments amounted to a choice between civil war or the same fate as that of Palestinians in the besieged enclave.

A “quote-unquote ‘policy of starvation' in northern Gaza would be horrific and unacceptable and would have implications under international law and U.S. law,” said Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

In the past, the killing of the leaders of extremist groups in Gaza or elsewhere in the Middle East has tended to produce only temporary advantages for Israel.

As Israel continued strikes in Gaza and Lebanon, an Israeli security Cabinet meeting was expected to be held Sunday to discuss plans for an attack on Iran, an official said.

The Biden administration called video capturing Shaban al-Dalu's final moments "deeply disturbing," as outrage built on social media.

Israel launched a series of strikes late Sunday targeting Al-Qard Al-Hassan bank branches, which it said were “used to finance Hezbollah's terror activities.”

“In northern Gaza, people are just waiting to die,” Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of the U.N. agency supporting Palestinian refugees, said on Tuesday.

The attack came as U.S. and Israeli negotiators prepared to travel to Qatar in the coming days to resume talks for a cease-fire with Hamas.

At least 30 people were killed in overnight strikes in the city of Beit Lahia, local authorities said, as Israel continues as assault on northern Gaza that the U.N. has called one of the conflict's "darkest moments"
