Eight civilians, including children, were killed late on February 14 when an Israeli airstrike hit the town of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said that the deadly airstrike was carried out by a combat drone and targeted a residential building.
“The Israeli airstrike targeted a residential apartment in a three-story building adjacent to Palestine Station on Marjayoun Street in the town of Nabatieh. A guided missile [from the drone] was launched towards the apartment, causing severe damage and resulting in injuries among the residents of the building,” the agency said.
Later, the director of Nabatieh hospital and three Lebanese security sources told Reuters that four children, three women and a man were killed in the Israeli airstrike. Seven other people were also wounded, according to the sources.
The deadly airstrike brought the number of Lebanese civilians killed by Israel during the day to 11. In the afternoon, a woman and her two children were killed in a strike on the town of al-Sawana in southern Lebanon.
In addition to the civilian casualties, Hezbollah announced the death of three of its fighters. However, it said that one of them succumbed to wounds he sustained a few days earlier.
Earlier in the day, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that it had carried out a “widespread wave” of airstrikes in Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah sites, including some belonging to the group’s Radwan Force.
The deadly airstrikes were carried out in response to a rocket attack from southern Lebanon that targeted the headquarters of the IDF’s Northern Command near the northern Israeli city of Sadaf. A female service member was killed and eight other people were wounded in the attack.
There was no immediate claim for the attack, although it was believed to have been carried out by Hezbollah, which has been launching daily attacks against the IDF from southern Lebanon in response to the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.
So far, the clashes on the border have resulted in six civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of at least ten IDF soldiers and reservists. On the Lebanese side, more than 300 people have been killed, including 185 fighters of Hezbollah and at least 40 civilians.
