At least 13 people killed, 7 wounded in Israeli strikes in Lebanon

At least 13 people were killed and seven others wounded in a fresh wave of Israeli airstrikes across the Arab country on Monday, according to health authorities and local media.

The state-run National News Agency (NNA) said two people were killed and five others injured in a strike on the town of Mashghara in western Bekaa.

In southern Lebanon, an Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle near the Kfar Rumman roundabout in the Nabatieh area, setting it ablaze, NNA reported. The Health Ministry said four people were killed in the attack.

Another drone strike hit the vicinity of a fuel station near the same area, the agency said.

One person was also killed in a strike near Ghandoor Hospital in Nabatieh al-Fawqa, according to NNA.

Two people were killed in a drone strike on the town of Haris in the Bint Jbeil area. One more person was killed and another injured in an attack on the town of Siddiqine, as civil defense teams were working to recover victims from a previous attack.

Three more people were killed and a fourth was injured when Israeli warplanes struck a house in the town of Burj Rahhal, destroying several homes, NNA said.

Israel has carried out airstrikes and a ground offensive in southern Lebanon since a cross-border attack by the Lebanese group Hezbollah on March 2, despite a ceasefire that took effect in November 2024.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry said at least 1,461 people have since been killed and 4,430 others injured in the Israeli attacks.
