Dead in Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon

Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon today killed at least 11 people, including two children and two medics, according to the Lebanese state news agency NNA. The attacks occurred in Kfar Rumman, where a military aircraft struck a residential building early in the morning, killing nine and injuring five. A drone strike later killed two medics. Israeli forces did not issue evacuation warnings prior to the strikes, and their military has not responded to inquiries from Reuters regarding the presence of civilians and the lack of warning. Meanwhile, Israeli troops called for an evacuation in another southern Lebanese town where Hezbollah positions were under fire. Israeli military strikes have intensified in recent days despite a June ceasefire agreement meant to end clashes between Israeli forces and the Iran-backed Hezbollah group. Since March 2nd, over 4,300 people in Lebanon have been killed by Israeli attacks.

At least 11 people were killed in Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon on Monday morning, according to Lebanese state media. Among the victims in Kfar Rumman were two children and two medics, reported the National News Agency (NNA). Shortly after midnight, an Israeli fighter jet struck a residential building in the town, killing nine people and injuring five others. A separate drone strike on a civilian vehicle in the town resulted in the deaths of two medics inside the car, according to NNA. The attacks occurred without prior warnings from the Israeli military for evacuation, as noted by the agency. The Israeli armed forces did not immediately respond to inquiries from the Reuters news agency regarding the incidents, particularly whether they were aware of the presence of medics and children at the sites of the attacks and why no warning was given. However, the Israeli army issued an evacuation notice shortly after 2 a.m. local time for areas around a building in another southern Lebanese town, where positions of the Hezbollah militia were reportedly under fire. On Sunday, at least seven people were killed in Israeli air strikes. Israel has intensified its military operations in southern Lebanon in recent days, despite a ceasefire agreement reached in June aimed at ending hostilities between the Israeli military and the Iran-aligned Hezbollah. Since the beginning of Hezbollah's rocket attacks on Israel on March 2, more than 4,300 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Lebanon. Meanwhile, Iran has deployed a new anti-ship missile against the U.S. Navy in the Persian Gulf, according to a statement by the head of the National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei. In an interview with state radio, Rezaei mentioned the first use of a new type of sea-target missile. "This is an important warning to the enemy and signifies that the naval blockade is vulnerable," he stated. The U.S. military had attacked three Iranian oil tankers and rendered them inoperable on Saturday. Previously, according to the responsible U.S. regional command, CENTCOM, Iranian Revolutionary Guards had fired ballistic missiles at two U.S. warships. Rezaei refuted the U.S. claim that the Strait of Hormuz is open again for international shipping. "The Strait of Hormuz is completely closed, and the assertion by the United States that ships and oil tankers can pass through it is a lie," he said. Ships attempting to pass through the strait with disabled navigation systems are often attacked. However, Iran's forces have so far decided not to sink these vessels for environmental protection reasons. A 20-year-old Palestinian student was killed during an attack by radical Israeli settlers on a village in the West Bank, according to Palestinian sources. According to the Red Crescent emergency service, two other people were injured in the incident in the village of Haja near the Palestinian city of Qalqiliya. An Israeli army spokesperson said they were investigating the reports. According to villagers, radical settlers arrived in the village on Sunday evening and opened fire on residents. The student was shot in the head and later died from his injuries. Another Palestinian was critically injured. The situation in the occupied West Bank continues to be tense.
