Shafaq News – Beirut (Updated at 18:14)
Israeli warplanes attacked four villages in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, hours after a drone strike killed a municipal worker and wounded 11 university students in the town of al-Tayri.
Eyewitnesses told Shafaq News that loud explosions shook the area and thick columns of smoke rose over buildings hit in Deir Kifa, Chehour, Aynata, and Tayr Felsay. The extent of material damage and casualties has not yet been determined.
Shortly before the attack, the Israeli military issued an “urgent” evacuation warning to residents of the four villages, saying it planned imminent strikes on what it described as Hezbollah military infrastructure and urging people in designated buildings and surrounding structures to leave immediately for their “safety.”
