“The Israeli attack on Joun in the Chouf district resulted in the deaths of 15 martyrs, including eight women and four children,” the ministry stated. Twelve others were reported injured.
The National News Agency (NNA) noted that the targeted building had housed displaced people who had fled previous Israeli bombardments amid the ongoing conflict with Hezbollah.
In the Aley region, a few kilometers north of the Chouf, another strike killed eight people, with the health ministry confirming the victims were refugees taking shelter in a house. Additionally, one person died in Tyre, located in southern Lebanon, due to another Israeli strike.
In other southern areas, strikes on Tefahta and Roumin killed seven people, while airstrikes on the Hermel region in the Bekaa Valley, bordering Syria, resulted in two more deaths. Nabatiyeh, the largest city in southern Lebanon, was again targeted, where Israeli bombings had already destroyed its historic marketplace and killed the mayor last month.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah launched missiles at an Israeli air base near Tel Aviv in retaliation for Israeli airstrikes on its stronghold in south Beirut. Israel reported two fatalities in the northern town of Nahariya, caused by rocket fire from Lebanon.
