Israeli strikes kill over a dozen in Lebanon's Natabieh
Israel’s latest strikes on the Nabatieh district in southern Lebanon have killed at least 16 individuals and injured 12 others, the Lebanese civil defense agency says.
The agency said in a statement on Saturday that its personnel have been engaged since early morning in the district to address the continuing assaults.
The casualties come a day after at least 47 individuals were killed and 97 others injured due to a series of Israeli airstrikes across southern and eastern Lebanon, as reported by Lebanon’s Health Ministry.
This marks the most severe escalation following the agreement between the United States and Iran aimed at ceasing wars on various fronts, including Lebanon.
In a revised casualty report, the ministry said that the airstrikes targeted several towns within the Nabatieh, Jezzine, and Baalbek districts.
The highest number of casualties occurred in Harouf, where nine individuals, including three women, were killed and 14 others were injured.
In Doueir, six individuals, including a child and a woman, were killed, and six others wounded.
In Haboush, seven fatalities were reported, while four were killed in Deir al-Zahrani and three in Arab Salim, including a child.
In eastern Lebanon, three individuals were killed in Tal al-Abyad near Baalbek, and Ain Bourday reported nine injuries.
Earlier on Friday, Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported numerous Israeli airstrikes and drone assaults targeting residential areas, motorcycles, and agricultural land throughout southern Lebanon.
On Wednesday evening, US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian electronically signed the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, which aims to conclude the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, as well as to halt Israeli assaults on Lebanon.
Nevertheless, members of the Israeli cabinet led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, particularly those from the far-right factions, have dismissed the notion of linking the Iran agreement to the cessation of military offensives in Lebanon or making any security concessions, insisting on the continuation of Israel’s military presence in southern Lebanon.
According to the most recent official statistics, the Israeli military’s onslaught on Lebanon since March 2 has resulted in the deaths of 3,980 individuals, injuries to 12,001 others, and the displacement of over one million residents.
