BEIRUT (AP) – An Israeli airstrike on an apartment building in the town of Aramoun, just south of Beirut, killed at least six people and wounded 15 others yesterday, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said.
The state-run National News Agency reported that there were children missing after the strike and it wasn’t clear if they are under the rubble or were transferred to a hospital.
There was no warning issued before the strike, and it was not clear what the target was.
There was no immediate statement from the Israeli military.
Also yesterday morning, the Israeli military struck several sites in Beirut’s southern suburbs, an area known as Dahiyeh, after issuing evacuation warnings. It said the strikes were targeting “Hezbollah facilities and interests”. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Meanwhile, Palestinian medics said an Israeli strike on a home in northern Gaza killed three siblings aged six and under.
They were among at least six people killed in Israeli strikes on Tuesday in the war-ravaged territory, where Israel has been at war with Hamas for more than 13 months.
The Gaza Health Ministry’s emergency service said the three children were killed in a strike on a home near a clinic in the urban Jabaliya refugee camp, where Israel has been waging an offensive for over a month.
In the central city of Deir al-Balah, a strike hit a tent in the western side of the city, killing at least two people, including a 15-year-old boy, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said. Another strike on a tent in the built-up Nuseirat refugee camp killed a man, the hospital said. An Associated Press journalist counted the three bodies at the hospital.
