Four killed and three injured in Israeli airstrike on Southern Lebanon

Four people were killed and three others were injured in an Israeli airstrike that targeted southern Lebanon. According to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA), citing the Public Health Emergency Operations Center (PHEOC) of the Ministry of Public Health, the strike hit the town of Kafr Rumman in the Nabatieh District late Saturday, resulting in four fatalities and several injuries.

Earlier, Lebanese authorities reported that one person had been injured in a separate Israeli attack on southern Lebanon. The PHEOC also said in a press release that an Israeli airstrike on the town of Kfar Sir in the Nabatieh District injured one person.

Lebanon has been under Israeli aggression since October 2023. In recent days, Israel has intensified air and artillery strikes at an unprecedented pace, expanding the scope of its attacks to include the capital, Beirut. This escalation has resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries and displaced more than one million people from their homes.
