At least four people were killed in Lebanon, and at least one in Israel, after an exchange of strikes that marked Israel’s most forceful attack on its neighbor since the start of the war in Gaza. The leaders of Canada, Australia and New Zealand said in a joint statement that an Israeli military operation in Rafah would be “catastrophic.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has remained adamant about Israel’s intention to target the city — the last refuge for Gazans.
