An Israeli strike that killed seven charity workers in a Gaza aid convoy was the result of "mistaken identification" and a raft of other serious failures, the Australian government found in a report released Friday.

Australian national Lalzawmi "Zomi" Frankcom was among a group of seven World Central Kitchen staff killed when their convoy -- working to distribute food and water -- was mistakenly hit by Israeli missiles in April.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was buried in Qatar on Friday after his killing in Tehran, an attack blamed on Israel that has heightened regional tensions as the Gaza war drags on.

Haniyeh was laid to rest in Lusail, north of the capital Doha, following funeral prayers at the Gulf emirate's largest mosque attended by thousands of people.

Haniyeh, the Palestinian militant group's political chief, played a key role in negotiations for an end to nearly 10 months of war between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip.

Iran's new reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian has named the negotiator of the 2015 nuclear deal with major powers, Mohammad Javad Zarif, as his vice-president for strategic affairs, state media reported Thursday.

"You are tasked with overseeing major national and international developments as well as how far we succeed in achieving the goals of the constitution," Pezeshkian said in a letter of appointment carried by the official IRNA news agency.

When Ibrahim Ibrahim heard the sirens warning of incoming rocket fire on the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights, his first thought was for his son Guevara, who was out at the playing field.

When the family realised the rocket fired from nearby Lebanon on Saturday had struck the playing field in their Druze Arab hometown of Majdal Shams, 47-year-old Ibrahim ran there, heart racing.

"When I heard the siren, I felt something had happened to Guevara," Ibrahim told AFP from the balcony of his home, just a few hundred metres (yards) from the armistice line with Syria.

Israel's biggest ever Olympic team has faced a "tough" environment during the Paris Games, the head of their delegation told AFP after a week featuring sometimes hostile crowds, online harassment and tragedy back home.

The 88-person Israeli team won its first medals on Thursday through judokas Peter Paltchik and Inbar Lanir and remains hopeful of clinching another two or three over the remaining 10 days, Israeli Olympic Committee president Yael Arad told AFP.

Shouting slogans and waving national flags, hundreds of Israelis marched in Tel Aviv to demand the return of hostages, as they endured their 300th day of captivity in Gaza Thursday.

"There is no victory until the hostages are back," chanted the demonstrators, many wearing t-shirts emblazoned with "300 Days", near the defence ministry in the country's commercial hub, an AFP correspondent reported.

Judoka Peter Paltchik won Israel's first medal of the Paris Olympics on Thursday, quickly followed by Inbar Lanir taking silver in the women's competition.

Paltchik, 24, beat Daniel Eich in the repechages of the under-100kg class to collect a bronze medal after a turbulent few weeks.

After the bout he hugged his tearful coach Shay Oren Smadga, whose 25-year-old son Orem, a member of the Israeli Defence Force, was killed in Gaza in June.

"I'm so proud. I'm so happy. I'm so thrilled to bring it home, after all the difficult days I've been through," Paltchik said.

Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah warned Thursday that the group was bound to respond to Israel's killing of its top military commander, saying his death and that of the Hamas leader "crossed" red lines.

"The enemy, and those who are behind the enemy, must await our inevitable response," he said in a speech broadcast at the funeral of Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr.

Iran and armed groups backed by it are preparing coordinated action meant to deter Israel but avert all-out war, sources and analysts said, after the killings of top Hamas and Hezbollah figures.

On Wednesday, Iranian officials met in Tehran with representatives of the so-called "Axis of Resistance" -- a loose alliance of Tehran-backed groups hostile to Israel -- to discuss retaliation for the deaths of Hamas's leader and Hezbollah's top military commander, said a source close to Lebanese group.

The health of jailed Iranian Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi has deteriorated in prison, supporters said Thursday, demanding her freedom and calling to give her access to medical care "without delay".

Rights activist Mohammadi, 52, has been jailed since November 2021, and has spent much of the past decade in and out of prison.

A group of supporters of Mohammadi, who in 2023 won the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her advocacy work, said they had been informed of the results of medical tests carried out last month "which showed a worrying deterioration of her health".
