Iran says Muslims will ‘look up to Martyr Sinwar standing on the battlefield’; Kamala Harris says death ‘an opportunity to finally end the war in Gaza’

• Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar killed in surprise encounter with Israeli forces

At least 28 people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school turned shelter in the Jabaliya neighbourhood of Gaza City, amid accusations Israel intends to forcibly expel the remaining population in a renewed ground campaign.

The bombing of Abu Hussein school in Jabaliya on Thursday killed 28, including doctors and several children, and injured dozens more, according to health officials, who warned the final toll was likely to be higher. Another 11 people were killed in two separate airstrikes in Gaza City, and it was unclear how many were killed in other strikes in central and southern Gaza.

As Benjamin Netanyahu flouts the will of his nation’s essential ally, the death of Hezbollah’s leader in Lebanon has deepened the region’s crisis

When the US and France launched a call for a temporary ceasefire in Lebanon on Thursday, they were confident that Benjamin Netanyahu backed it. A day later, still in New York for the UN general assembly meeting, the Israeli prime minister approved the airstrike on Beirut that killed the leader of Hezbollah , Hassan Nasrallah.

Many in Lebanon – as well as in Israel, Syria and elsewhere – will not mourn a man with so much blood on his hands. But they are terrified. More than 1,000 people in Lebanon have reportedly been killed in the past week. Almost a fifth of the population is said to be displaced; families are sleeping in the streets . With bombs still falling, and the threat of a ground invasion looming, Mr Netanyahu said that Israel’s work was not completed.

More than 1,000 people killed in Lebanon and one million displaced by Israeli strikes, Lebanese minister says

Hello and welcome to the Guardian’s live coverage of the conflict in the Middle East.

Israel has continued its attacks on Lebanon, with its military claiming to have hit dozens of Hezbollah targets in the past hours, a day after the Lebanese militant group confirmed its leader Hassan Nasrallah had been killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut.

More than 1,000 people have been killed in Lebanon and more than 6,000 wounded as a result of Israeli attacks in the past two weeks, the health ministry said, and about one million Lebanese people have been displaced by the strikes, including hundreds of thousands since Friday, Nasser Yassin, the minister coordinating the government’s crisis response, has told Reuters.

The Lebanese ministry of public health reported last night that the Israeli attacks across Lebanon yesterday killed 33 people and injured 195 others, according to Wafa, the Palestinian news agency .

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has confirmed the death of Brig Gen Abbas Nilforoushan, deputy commander of IRGC operations . He was killed in the Israel’s air strikes on Lebanon on Friday which also killed other senior Hezbollah figures, including the group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah. In its statement mourning Nilforoushan’s killing, the IRGC condemned “crimes of the Zionist regime” in Lebanon and praised his role in defending the “resistance front” and Iran. It didn’t vow revenge against Israel.

The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan , has said Lebanese people are the new target of “Israel’s policy of genocide, occupation and invasion.” The Turkish leader, who has been highly critical of Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza, said children were among Lebanese civilians who have been “murdered” by “brutal” Israeli strikes conducted on Lebanon this week.

“By the grace and power of God, the blows struck by the Resistance Front on the worn-out, deteriorating body of the Zionist regime will become even more crushing,” said Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei about Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. He went on to add: “The foul-natured Zionist regime has not become victorious by carrying out this atrocity.”

Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, commenting on the killing of Nasrallah, said on Sunday that what Iran terms “resistance groups” will continue to confront Israel with the help of Iran, according to Iranian state media . Iran has called for the UN security council to meet over Israel’s assault on Lebanon and across the region.

Joe Biden ordered the Pentagon to enhance America’s defence posture in the region. He said: “The United States fully supports Israel’s right to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and any other Iranian-supported terrorist groups.”

UN secretary general António Guterres said he is “gravely concerned by the dramatic escalation of the events in Beirut in the last 24 hours”. He went on to add: “This cycle of violence must stop now. All sides must step back from the brink.”

Hassan Nasrallah decries targeting of pagers and walkie-talkies that killed 37, including children, and hurt thousands

• Middle East crisis – latest news updates

Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s leader, threatened Israel with “tough retribution and just punishment” in a televised speech on Thursday, after an unprecedented wave of attacks targeted the organisation with explosives hidden in thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies.

As Israeli jets roared over Beirut in a show of force, Nasrallah threatened retribution against Israel “where it expects it and where it does not”.

Benjamin’s Netanyahu’s hold on power depends on his nation being at war. The region is paying a high price

In the second world war, guerrilla forces scattered large quantities of booby-trapped objects likely to be attractive to civilians. The idea was to cause widescale and indiscriminate death. The Japanese manufactured a tobacco pipe with a charge detonated by a spring-loaded striker. The Italians produced a headset that blew up when it was plugged in. More than half a century later, a global treaty came into force which “prohibited in all circumstances to use booby-traps or other devices in the form of apparently harmless portable objects that are specifically designed and constructed to contain explosive material”. Has anyone told Israel and its jubilant supporters that, as Brian Finucane of the International Crisis Group points out , it is a signatory to the protocol?

On Tuesday, pagers used by hundreds of members of the militant group Hezbollah exploded almost simultaneously in Lebanon and Syria, killing at least 12 people – including two children and four hospital workers – and wounding thousands more. This situation is directly analogous to the historical practices that current global arms treaties explicitly prohibit. US media say Israel was behind the attack, and the country has the motive and the means to target its Iran-backed enemies. Israel’s leaders have a long history of carrying out sophisticated remote operations, ranging from cyber-attacks, suicide drone attacks and remote-controlled weapons to assassinate Iranian scientists. On Wednesday it was reported that Israel blew up thousands of two-way personal radios used by Hezbollah members in Lebanon, killing nine and wounding hundreds.

Microsoft appears to confirm that alleged hackers with ties to Iran sent email from ‘account of a former senior adviser’

Donald Trump said that only “publicly available information” had been stolen by a hack of his campaign for the presidency as he pinned the dramatic theft on the Iranian government.

The news of an alleged hack emerged amid reports from the news website Politico that it had begun getting emails from an anonymous account with internal documents from the Trump campaign, including a vetting dossier on his running mate JD Vance.

Other Islamic countries are not openly backing military response by Tehran and more targeted action appears likely

Iran may be rethinking the scale and format of its planned reprisal against Israel in the wake of the assassination of Hamas’s political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, but is not likely to be put off by the absence of explicit support from Muslim states for an Iranian military response, the Guardian has learned.

Iran appears to be trying to target those responsible for the attack, specifically the Mossad, and its agencies, rather than civilians.
