Israeli strikes on a southern Lebanese town killed at least 13 people including six children yesterday, Lebanon’s health ministry said, in one of the deadliest days of Israeli bombardment in recent weeks.
Fears of a renewed Israeli military campaign are mounting in Lebanon after days of escalating strikes despite a June ceasefire that was meant to halt fighting between the Israeli military and Lebanese armed group Hizbollah.
A separate Israeli drone strike on a civilian vehicle in the town killed one medic, the health ministry said. Two other medics were wounded in the strike, the ministry said.
The strikes on Kfar Rumman came without an online evacuation warning from the Israeli military. Israel’s military said steps had been taken to mitigate harm ‘to uninvolved individuals, including the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance’. The military said it was reviewing the report that ‘uninvolved individuals’ were harmed as a result of the strikes.
