5 killed, several injured in Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon
ISTANBUL (AA) – At least five people have been killed and several others injured in Israeli airstrikes in different areas of southern Lebanon.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that an Israeli airstrike targeted the town of Jwaya in the Tyre district of southern Lebanon, killing three people and injuring several others.
Debris removal operations are still ongoing, it added.
Two more people were killed in the town of Zrariyeh in the Zahrani area of the Nabatieh district in southern Lebanon, after an Israeli airstrike on the entrance to Wadi Khalil, the news agency reported.
Several airstrikes hit the town throughout the day, it said.
Israeli warplanes also carried out additional airstrikes on Marwanieh in the Zahrani area, according to the agency, which did not provide details about the casualties or damages to infrastructure.
Israel dramatically escalated its massive bombing campaign across Lebanon against what it alleges are ‘Hezbollah targets’ since September 23, killing at least 1,437 people, injuring over 4,123 others, and displacing more than 1.34 million people.
Despite international warnings that the Mideast was on the brink of a regional war amid Israel’s relentless attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, it expanded the war on October 1 by launching an invasion of southern Lebanon.
