Nine killed in Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon

At least nine civilians were killed in Israeli airstrikes targeting two towns in southern Lebanon. Many others were injured in the airstrike.

Turkish news agency Anadolu confirmed the matter on Thursday (March 28).

“At least 6 Lebanese were martyred and several others were injured due to an Israeli airstrike targeting the town of Tayr Harfa in the district of Tyre,” according to National News Agency.

The news agency added that “another Israeli airstrike targeted a cafe in the town of Naqoura, resulting in the martyrdom of three Lebanese and the injury of several others.”

The Israeli army said it carried out airstrikes on the towns of Naqoura and Tayr Harfa.

In a statement seen by Anadolu, the army claimed the strikes targeted Hezbollah cells.

Millions of residents of villages along the Israel-Lebanon border have fled their homes due to the month-long attacks.
