At least 10 killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon – state media
Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon have resulted in the deaths of at least 10 people, according to reports from Lebanese state media. The attacks, which took place on Wednesday afternoon, targeted areas in the vicinity of the southern city of Tyre.
The Israeli military has not officially commented on the strikes yet. However, Israeli officials have previously stated that such actions are in response to rocket fire from Lebanon into northern Israel. The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, a major political and military force in Lebanon, has not claimed responsibility for the rocket attacks.
The situation remains tense along the Israel-Lebanon border, with both sides accusing the other of initiating hostilities. The United Nations has called for restraint and de-escalation to prevent further loss of life in the already volatile region.
Both Israel and Lebanon have a history of conflict, with multiple wars and skirmishes between them over the years. The latest escalation raises concerns about the potential for further violence and the destabilization of the region.
