Israeli Airstrikes Kill Over Dozen in Southern Lebanon
(MENAFN) At least 15 people lost their lives Saturday in a succession of Israeli airstrikes across southern Lebanon, Lebanese official sources confirmed, with at least one child among the fatalities and several more children counted among the wounded.
The Lebanese Health Ministry and the National News Agency both reported the casualty figures, underscoring the strikes' toll on civilian populations.
Earlier Saturday morning, the Israeli army issued evacuation orders to residents of towns across southern Lebanon before proceeding to carry out airstrikes and demolish residential structures in the targeted areas.
In a parallel development, Hezbollah announced it had unleashed an overnight rocket barrage directed at a concentration of Israeli military vehicles and personnel along the Lebanon-Israel border — a move the group framed as retaliation for Israeli ceasefire violations.
Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah characterized the group's posture as one of defense, stating it was in a "defensive position" against Israeli "aggression," and cautioned that Israel should brace for a response each time it strikes Lebanese villages or the southern suburbs of Beirut.
The flare-up unfolded despite a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon that came into force last month, reached after weeks of cross-border hostilities fueled by the wider regional tensions ignited by joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.
