Shafaq News- Nabatieh
Israeli strikes across southern Lebanon and the western Beqaa Valley killed at least three people and wounded 23 on Friday evening, according to preliminary figures from the Lebanese Health Ministry.
The Israeli military said it struck after intercepting a drone that Hezbollah had launched toward Israeli troops in southern Lebanon.
The strikes hit towns across the southern districts of Nabatieh and Tyre and the western Beqaa over several hours, Lebanese media reported. Israeli aircraft struck the Kfour area, the Rweiss neighborhood on the edge of Nabatieh and areas around the Dabsheh hill, while artillery shelled the town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa. An explosion was also reported in the town of Zawtar al-Sharqiyeh.
The strike causing the most casualties hit the town of Ramadiyah in Tyre district, killing one person and wounding 15, among them six paramedics from the Risala Scouts, a Lebanese scouting and emergency-response organization, along with three women and two girls, the ministry's health emergency operations center said. Two more people were killed in Kafarman, in Nabatieh district.
