Israeli airstrikes kill 13 in south Lebanon, Lebanese sources say

Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon killed at least 13 people today, Lebanese security sources say, as Israel pressed its campaign against Hezbollah and the Iran-backed terror group claimed fresh attacks against IDF forces in the south.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF.

The dead include nine people killed in the village of Dayr Debba, 8 kilometers (5 miles) east of the city of Tyre, the state-run National News Agency reports. Reuters footage showed vehicles ablaze in the southern city of Sidon after an Israeli airstrike.

In addition, a Lebanese soldier died on Wednesday from wounds caused by an Israeli airstrike in the south on March 17, the Lebanese military says.

Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
