Lebanon’s health ministry now says three people, including two children, were killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs that also left scores injured, updating an earlier toll.
The “non-final toll of the Israeli aggression on the southern suburbs of Beirut… is three martyrs, including a woman, a girl and a boy,” the ministry says, adding that 74 people had been wounded, “while the search for missing persons under the rubble continues.”
According to Israel, the strike targeted and killed Fuad Shukr, the top military commander for the Hezbollah terror group. The IDF says Shukr masterminded months of cross-border attacks that killed over 3 dozen people in Israel, including Saturday’s strike in Majdal Shams that left 12 youths dead.
