Eleven civilians, including six children, were killed by Israeli strikes across southern Lebanon yesterday, a hospital director and three Lebanese security sources say, as Israel responded to a Hezbollah rocket attack that killed a soldier.
Four Hezbollah fighters were killed in separate strikes, according to the group and security sources.
Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging fire along the Israel-Lebanon border for more than four months, after the Lebanese terror group began launching rockets across the frontier in support of Hamas after the October 7 massacre.
A woman and her two children were killed in an Israeli strike on the village of al-Sawana, two security sources say.
A strike on a building in Nabatieh killed four more children, three women and a man, according to the director of the town’s hospital, Hassan Wazni, and three other security sources. Seven people were also wounded, Wazni tells Reuters.
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.
