An Israeli policeman was killed and four people were wounded in a shooting near Tel Aviv, DPA reported, quoted by BTA.< /p>
The attacker opened fire on cars driving on a highway near the southern part of the city, then killed himself, Israeli police said.
The perpetrator of the attack is a 28-year-old Palestinian from the town of Jabalia in the Gaza Strip, who has been living illegally in the occupied West Bank for the past few years, Israeli media reported. At the moment, the Israeli police have not given official confirmation of this information. The investigation into the case continues.
The United States has warned Israel that it must increase the amount of humanitarian aid it allows into the Gaza Strip over the next 30 days or risk losing access to American funding for weapons, the Associated Press reported, citing BTA .
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned their Israeli counterparts in a letter on Sunday that changes must come. The letter, which restated US policy on humanitarian aid and arms transfers, was sent amid worsening conditions in the northern Gaza Strip and an Israeli airstrike on medical tents in central Gaza. Gaza, in which at least four people died and several others suffered serious burns.
A similar letter Blinken sent to Israeli officials in April led to more humanitarian aid being sent to the Palestinian territories, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said. However, this did not last long.
"Actually, access is down more than 50% from its peak," Miller said at a briefing. "So the Minister (Blinken), along with the Minister (Austin), thought it appropriate to make it clear to the Government of Israel that there are changes that they need to make again to see that the level of aid reaching Gaza is increasing from the very, very low levels it is at today,'' Miller added.
In order for Israel to continue receiving foreign military funding, the level of aid reaching the Gaza Strip must increase to at least 350 trucks per day. Israel should also introduce additional humanitarian pauses and provide greater security at humanitarian sites, Austin and Blinken's letter said. It specifies that Israel has 30 days to comply.
"The letter was not intended as a threat,", White House national security adviser John Kirby told reporters. "The letter was simply intended to confirm the sense of urgency that we feel and the seriousness with which we feel about the need to increase, dramatically increase humanitarian aid," he added.
Five people were killed and at least 16 were wounded in an Israeli attack in eastern Lebanon, the Lebanese Ministry of Health reported, quoted by DPA and BTA.
The statement said three of the victims of the Israeli strikes were minors. The attack took place this afternoon in the town of Raja, located in the Bekaa Valley.
Since fighting broke out a year ago between the Lebanese Shiite group "Hezbollah" and the Israeli army, more than 2,350 people were killed in Lebanon, and nearly 11,000 were wounded, DPA noted. The Lebanese Ministry of Health does not keep separate statistics on members of the "Hezbollah" and civilians.
The government of Israel has turned to industry to strengthen the military's ability to intercept drones used by Iran and the Lebanese militia "Hezbollah", Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
The Ministry of Defense today announced that it has launched a competition involving eight large and small companies.
"After analyzing the results of the tests, the Ministry of Defense will select several technologies that will enter accelerated development and production. The goal is to deploy new operational capabilities within months," the statement said.
Iran, "Hezbollah" and other enemies of Israel attack the country not only with rockets, but also with drones.
On Sunday "Hezbollah" stated that it attacked the "Golani" brigade of the Israeli army in Binyamin in northern Israel with a "swarm of drones". She indicated that some of the unmanned aircraft, among which there were models first used by "Hezbollah", had escaped the radars of the Israeli air defenses.
The Israeli military reported that four of its soldiers were killed and seven seriously wounded.
"The threat of unmanned aerial vehicles originates from Iran, which supplies drones to Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq and even launches them itself," said Defense Minister Yoav Galant. He emphasized that operational solutions must be found quickly.
The director general of the ministry, Eyal Zamir, said that it has already invested hundreds of millions of shekels in this area.
