BEIRUT, Lebanon — Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemns Israel for carrying out overnight strikes that the health ministry says killed at least one person.

“Once again, southern Lebanon has been the target of a heinous Israeli aggression against civilian installations — without justification or pretext,” Aoun says. “The seriousness of this latest attack lies in the fact that it comes after the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.”

The ministry says an Israeli strike on the Al-Msayleh area left one person dead and seven others wounded. The official National News Agency says Israeli warplanes conducted 10 raids targeting bulldozer and excavator yards.

The Israel Defense Forces said that it struck sites where Hezbollah was storing heavy machinery to use “for rebuilding its terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon.”
