Global Affairs confirms Canadian death in Lebanon, 8th since Israel-Hamas war began

A Canadian citizen has been confirmed dead in Lebanon, the eighth since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.

In an update Sunday evening, Global Affairs Canada provided no further details but did confirm that 130 more Canadians left Gaza this weekend after the Rafah border crossing reopened to foreign nationals.

Israel has now expanded its ground offensive in Gaza to every part of the territory, ordering more areas in and around the region's second-largest city of Kahn Younis to evacuate.

Jewish Canadians have reported a sharp rise in antisemitism and violence against synagogues and schools since Hamas militants killed 1,200 people, including hundreds of civilians, in Israel on Oct. 7.
