Lebanon’s health ministry said a woman was killed and 25 other people wounded in Israeli strikes yesterday in the country’s south, while the Israeli military blamed Hezbollah munitions for the death. Israel has kept up regular strikes on Lebanon, particularly in the south, since a November 27 ceasefire meant to end over a year of hostilities, including two months of all-out war that left Hezbollah severely weakened.
An “Israel enemy strike on an apartment in Nabatiyeh” killed a woman and wounded 14 other people, the ministry said in a statement carried by the official National News Agency.
The NNA said an Israeli drone targeted the apartment. Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee said on social media that the army “did not target any civilian building”.
The NNA earlier reported “a wave of successive heavy strikes” in several other areas in the Nabatiyeh region that the health ministry said wounded seven people.
Later Friday, the ministry said four more people were wounded in an “Israeli drone strike” in Shaqra, elsewhere in the country’s south.
