Israeli Strikes in Southern Lebanon Kill Fifteen Despite Ceasefire Claims
(MENAFN) At least 15 people have been killed and dozens more injured in a series of Israeli airstrikes across southern Lebanon, according to reports from the Lebanese Health Ministry and the National News Agency.
The latest wave of attacks reportedly included a strike on a residential building in Seir al-Gharbiya in the Nabatieh district, where five people, including children, were killed and several others wounded.
In a separate incident, strikes near Hiram Hospital in the Tyre district injured at least 25 medical, nursing, and administrative staff members and caused significant damage to the facility, according to health authorities.
“This is the second time in less than two months that the hospital has been exposed to such dangers due to repeated Israeli attacks,” the ministry said, adding that the strikes amounted to violations of international humanitarian law regarding the protection of medical facilities.
Other reported strikes targeted agricultural areas north of Tyre, killing five people and injuring two more. In one case, a woman’s body remained trapped under rubble following the intensity of the attack.
Additional drone strikes in the Tyre district reportedly killed one person on a road between Ain Baal and Housh, while another overnight strike in Deir Qanoun al-Nahr destroyed a house and killed four individuals.
According to reports, Lebanese authorities say more than 3,000 people have been killed and over 1.6 million displaced since the escalation of Israeli military operations began in March, despite claims of a ceasefire being in place.
