Deadly Israeli Airstrike Hits Residential Building in Lebanon

An Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Nabatieh, Lebanon, has resulted in around 10 deaths, including two children, and injured five others. All the victims were Syrian citizens. The strike targeted a Hezbollah weapons depot, escalating ongoing regional tensions involving Israel, Hezbollah, and Hamas.

An Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Nabatieh, southern Lebanon, has killed around 10 people, including two children, and wounded five others, as reported by state news agency NNA on Saturday.

All victims were Syrian citizens, said the NNA, adding that the final death toll will be confirmed following DNA tests to identify the victims. According to the Israeli military, the airstrike targeted a weapons depot used by Hezbollah militants.

The airstrike followed a pause in ceasefire talks between Palestinian Hamas and Israel in Doha. The talks are set to resume next week. The region has been on edge after a rocket strike blamed on Hezbollah killed 12 children and teens in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israel retaliated by killing a top Hezbollah commander in Beirut, further escalating tensions. Both Hezbollah and Iran have vowed to retaliate against Israel for recent events, including the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas's political chief, in Tehran.
