Israeli strikes kill at least 10 and wound 24 in Lebanon, health ministry says
AI Summary
Israeli strikes in Lebanon's Bekaa valley killed at least 10 people and wounded 24, including children, according to the Lebanese health ministry. Israel stated it targeted Hezbollah "command centers," with reports indicating a senior Hezbollah leader, Hussein Yaghi, was among the dead. Separately, an Israeli strike hit a Palestinian refugee camp in Sidon, killing two Hamas members, with Israel claiming it targeted a Hamas command center, a claim Hamas disputes. These strikes follow heightened tensions and near-daily Israeli strikes in Lebanon since a ceasefire ended a period of escalated conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, which began after October 7, 2023. The increased death toll and regional tensions, including potential US action against Iran, raise concerns about Lebanon being drawn into a wider conflict.
