Israeli attacks in Lebanon kill four, Lebanese ministry says

Israeli attacks killed four people in southern Lebanon on Sunday and wounded 20, Lebanon's Health Ministry said.

Two people died in Nabatieh al-Fawqa, while two women were killed in the nearby town of Arab Salim. The ministry also reported injuries in several areas, including three children among the wounded.

Israel said it carried out the attacks after Hezbollah fired drones at its soldiers and described the move as an “obvious violation.” Israel did not say whether any of its soldiers were injured. Its military said it had issued an evacuation warning for the first time in several weeks for Lebanon, telling residents near a building it identified as a Hezbollah facility in Arab Salim to leave before the strike.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said the building was hit from the air and that the two women were killed there. It also reported that an airstrike in Nabatieh al-Fawqa damaged part of Ghandour Hospital, which had been nonfunctional for years.

According to Lebanon, more than 4,300 people have been killed since the country was drawn into the regional conflict in March. Israeli forces remain active inside what Israel calls a security zone about 10 kilometers from the border, while Lebanon continues to report Israeli attacks despite a later framework agreement.
