Israeli air strikes on southern Lebanon Sunday killed four people, two of them women, the country's health ministry said. Israel's military said that the strikes were a response to an alleged Hezbollah drone launch targeting troops in the Israeli-occupied "security zone" in the country's south.
Israeli air strikes on southern Lebanon killed four people on Sunday. According to Lebanon's health ministry, two people were killed in Nabatieh al-Fawqa and two women were killed in nearby Arab Salim.
The Israeli military said the strikes were a response to an alleged Hezbollah drone launch targeting troops in the Israeli-occupied security zone in southern Lebanon. Israel's army described the drone launch as a "blatant violation" by Hezbollah, but did not report any troop casualties.
Twenty people, including several women and three children, were also wounded in the strikes, which occurred in several locations, including Nabatieh al-Fawqa, Arab Salim, Nabatieh, and Kfar Rumman. The health ministry said the toll was provisional. According to Middle East Eye, an Israeli strike levelled Ghandour Hospital in Nabatieh al-Fawqa, which had closed several years ago.
