Nine people were killed in two separate Israeli airstrikes on the Lebanese village of Tayr Harfa and the town of Naqoura, according to local reports.
The strikes, which occurred on Friday, targeted a residential building in Tayr Harfa and a vehicle in Naqoura, resulting in the deaths of nine individuals and injuring several others.
The Israeli military has not yet commented on the strikes, but the Lebanese government has condemned the attacks as a violation of Lebanese sovereignty and a threat to regional stability.
The village of Tayr Harfa, located in southern Lebanon, is home to a large population of Palestinian refugees. The strikes have caused widespread panic and fear among the residents, who are already struggling with the economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first strike hit a residential building in Tayr Harfa, killing six people, including a woman and her two children. The second strike targeted a vehicle in Naqoura, killing three individuals, including a woman and her husband.
The Lebanese Red Cross and Civil Defense teams rushed to the scene to provide medical assistance and transport the injured to nearby hospitals. The strikes also caused significant damage to nearby buildings and infrastructure.
The Lebanese government has called on the United Nations and the international community to condemn the Israeli aggression and hold them accountable for their actions. The government has also vowed to take all necessary measures to protect its citizens and defend its sovereignty.
This is not the first time that Israel has carried out airstrikes on Lebanese territory. In recent months, there have been several similar attacks, which have resulted in civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure.
The Lebanese people have expressed their anger and frustration over the repeated violations of their sovereignty by Israel. They have also called on the international community to take action and put an end to these attacks.
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has also condemned the strikes and called for an immediate cessation of hostilities. The UNIFIL has been deployed in southern Lebanon since 1978 to monitor the border between Lebanon and Israel.
The recent escalation of violence has raised concerns about the stability of the region and the potential for further conflict. The Lebanese government has urged all parties to exercise restraint and work towards a peaceful resolution.
The international community has a responsibility to intervene and prevent any further escalation of violence. It is crucial for all parties to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon and work towards a peaceful resolution of the ongoing conflict. The lives of innocent civilians must be protected, and their suffering must come to an end.
