4 Killed, 51 Injured In Israeli Strikes On Southern Lebanon

BEIRUT, April 28 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- At least four people were killed, and 51 were injured in Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon on Monday, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported, citing local media.

Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported that a woman was among the dead, while the wounded included three children and six women.

It added that Israeli warplanes carried out a strike targeting the town of Majdal Zoun in the Tyre district.

The agency also said the Israeli army conducted demolition operations in Hanin and carried out another large-scale blast in Chihine.

Airstrikes also targeted the towns of Hadatha, Braachit and Haris, according to NNA.

Meanwhile, the Alman-Ech Choumariye area in Nabatieh district came under intermittent artillery shelling, while another airstrike targeted the area between Qana and Siddiqine.

More than 2,520 people have been killed, over 7,800 have been injured, and over 1.6 million have been displaced by Israeli attacks across Lebanon since March 2, according to official Lebanese figures.

A 10-day ceasefire was declared between Lebanon and Israel on April 17, though Tel Aviv has repeatedly violated it.

On Thursday, US President Donald Trump said Lebanon and Israel agreed to extend the truce by three weeks following a second round of talks between the two sides in Washington.

The Hezbollah group has carried out a series of drone attacks targeting Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon and northern Israel, citing Israel’s repeated violations of the truce.
