At least 15 people, including children, were killed in a series of Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon over the weekend, according to local health officials. The strikes targeted multiple areas near the coastal city of Tyre, amid escalating cross-border hostilities.
Lebanese authorities reported that several residential buildings were hit, leading to civilian casualties and significant damage. Emergency crews continued search and rescue operations into the following day, with fears that the death toll could rise.
The Israeli military has stated that its operations are aimed at militant positions, though it did not provide specific details on the latest strikes. The attacks come as part of a broader escalation linked to the ongoing conflict involving Iran and its regional allies.
The situation in southern Lebanon remains tense, with repeated exchanges raising concerns of a wider conflict. International organizations have warned of increasing risks to civilians as violence intensifies along the border.
