The Israeli army carried out its first raid in Saida early Thursday afternoon, targeting a car near the army roadblock at the mouth of the Awali River at the entrance to the city.  .

Three people were killed in the raid. They were identified as Hussein, Alaa, and Malak Choumar, the siblings of Amin Choumar, a journalist with Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV.

Eight others, including five UNIFIL peacekeepers and three Lebanese army troops, were slightly injured. The peacekeepers were injured as their vehicle was passing in the same lane as the targeted car when the raid took place.

The road was closed to traffic while Civil Defense firefighters extinguished the blaze and Lebanese Red Cross paramedics treated the wounded on the spot.
