Tensions in the Middle East continue to rise, marked by an influx of displaced people into Beirut, the capital and largest city of Lebanon. Recent reports indicate that over 100 people were killed in an Israeli strike on a residential building in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, according to China Media Group on Wednesday.
As ceasefire negotiations are underway, Hamas has signaled its openness to discuss a new deal. However, Palestinian media have reported continuous shelling in Jabalia and Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, further intensifying the situation.
The first stage of the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza does not include a complete cessation of conflict or a full withdrawal, according to an Israeli broadcasting authority. For the latest updates, follow CGTN's livestream.
