Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency says a 4-year-old girl and a soldier are among seven people killed in an Israeli attack on the town of Kfar Hatta near the coastal city of Sidon.
The Israeli military had called on the entire town late Saturday to evacuate. There is no immediate comment on the deaths from the IDF.
Kfar Hatta hosts many displaced people who fled from southern Lebanon.
NNA also says a three-story building in Beirut’s Jnah neighborhood that was filled with residents sustained “severe damage” in an Israeli strike.
The strike came without warning, soon after an earlier one that came with advance notice, AP reports.
The building is about 100 meters away from Rafik Hariri University Hospital, the largest public medical facility in the country.
Casualties were rushed to nearby hospitals but there was no immediate word on their number.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
