Early Thursday evening, an Israeli drone struck the area between the localities of Deir Siryan and Taybeh in southern Lebanon, setting off fires.
Thursday morning’s phosphorus bombardment of a house in Khiam caused a fire and left “two injured Islamic Message Scouts rescue workers, one in Khiam and a second in Qabrikha,” according to an update relayed by Lebanon’s national news agency (NNA).
In connection with the incident, the Ministry of Health’s Emergency Operations Center reported that the phosphorus shells had caused “severe suffocation to the two wounded, necessitating their admission to the government hospital in Marjayoun, where they were treated by the emergency services.”
Other Israeli bombardments targeted residential areas in Qabrikha, leaving “a ten-year-old child wounded.” The child was admitted to Tibnine government hospital for treatment.
Artillery fire also hit the localities of Taybeh and Tallet al-Awaida.
