Lebanese health ministry: At least 9 killed in Israeli strikes on two southern villages
Lebanon’s health ministry says at least nine people have been killed in Israeli strikes on two southern villages this evening, days after a fragile Hezbollah-Israel ceasefire took effect last week.
“The Israeli enemy strike on the village of Haris killed five people and injured two, in an initial toll,” the ministry says in a statement, adding that another such attack on Tallousa “killed four people and injured one person.”
Israel announced the strikes after Hezbollah fired mortar shells at IDF positions in the Mount Dov area near the Lebanon border this afternoon.
