At least five people have been killed and seven wounded in an Israeli airstrike on the southern Lebanese city of Sidon, Lebanon’s health ministry says.
According to Lebanese state media, Israel struck a building on a main thoroughfare in Sidon shortly before noon today, with no prior warning.
The IDF has not commented on the reports. The military has said it was targeting Hezbollah sites in the Iranian proxy group’s strongholds in Beirut and in Lebanon’s southern and eastern regions.
