Israeli Air Strikes on Southern Lebanon Kill 7

Israel launched a series of airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Saturday, August 15, marking the deadliest day since the ceasefire in June. Seven people were reported killed.

Lebanon’s state news agency, the National News Agency (NNA), reported that an air strike destroyed a house in the town of Ansar on Saturday morning, killing seven people and injuring three others. Rescue teams are removing debris and evacuating the dead and injured to hospitals.

Valleys near the site were also hit; it was the first time the area had been attacked since an Israeli-Lebanese ceasefire was agreed two months ago.

Israeli warplanes also targeted a teachers’ college and a religious building in Nabatieh al-Fawqa, located about 10 miles east of Ansar, with reports of continued attacks in the surrounding area.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said it attacked Hezbollah infrastructure after the Iranian-backed militant group carried out “an act” against Israeli soldiers along the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon.

The IDF did not provide details on what action Hezbollah took.

“We will continue to operate to eliminate the threat,” the IDF said in a statement.
