On october 2, during the night Israeli forces airstrike al-Amal orphanage in the Rimal neighbourhood, in the West of Gaza-City. Israeli fighter jets have reportedly bombed the al-Amal Institute for Orphans, which was serving also as a shelter for displaced individuals in western Gaza City, according to the Wafa news agency. Many dead and injured, including women, children, and the elderly, were brought to the emergency departments of Al-Ahli and Al-Shifa Hospitals. [source](https://x.com/fnaim65/status/1841309761272172587) **Civil Defense Service** The agency said five people lost their lives when Israeli forces struck Al-Amal Orphanage. Several other children were seriously injured in the attack, according to the source. Witnesses said that civil defense teams were searching all the night through the rubble for survivors. Israel has systematically targeted civilian facilities, including schools, hospitals and places of worship, as part of its ongoing offensive on the Gaza Strip, claiming they were the "command center of Hamas", without any proof. Under the rules of war, targeting such civilian facilities can constitute a war crime. **testimony of Haj Fadl Jaafar, 75 y/0** “We were sleeping and suddenly we were targeted, children who had no control over themselves.

UNIFIL has been active in south Lebanon since 1978, primarily to monitor ceasefires and facilitate humanitarian access.Any deliberate attack on the UN personnel and property is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of Resolution 1701. Israel has accused UNIFIL of failing to enforce Resolution 1701, which calls for a ceasefire and Hezbollah's disarmament. Israeli officials argue UNIFIL has not adequately restrained Hezbollah, while experts counter that both sides have violated the resolution's terms. Israeli leaders have expressed frustrations, calling UNIFIL a “human shield” for Hezbollah. Prime Minister Netanyahu has called for UNIFIL's withdrawal, stating it enables Hezbollah’s operations. Israeli rhetoric increasingly portrays UNIFIL as colluding with Hezbollah, feeding into a “dangerous and inaccurate” anti-UN narrative. This perception may impact future peacekeeping stability in the region. While heavy Israeli airstrikes have devastated southern Lebanon, flattening towns, killing over 2,574 people, and injuring more than 12,000 as of October. A leaked report shows Israel’s use of incendiary white phosphorus near UNIFIL bases, injuring 15 peacekeepers. Other reported incidents include direct fire on UNIFIL positions, demolitions of observation towers, and forcible entry into UNIFIL compounds. Rights groups warn that Israel's actions could amount to war crimes. UNIFIL has been active in south Lebanon since 1978, primarily to monitor ceasefires and facilitate humanitarian access.
