At least eight people were wounded on Monday evening in an Israeli airstrike that targeted an apartment in a residential building in the Ksar Zaatar neighborhood of Nabatieh, southern Lebanon.
The casualty toll is preliminary, as rescue operations remain ongoing. The injured have been taken to hospitals across the region.
Ksar Zaatar is known to be a densely populated area. During the war between Israel and Hezbollah, an Israeli strike on the same neighborhood claimed the lives of 15 people.
On X, the Arabic-language spokesperson for the Israeli military, Avichay Adraee, stated that the strike targeted “a Hezbollah command center,” and claimed that the presence of such a facility in Nabatieh constitutes “a violation of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon.”
He went on to accuse Hezbollah of “continuing its efforts to rebuild terrorist infrastructure throughout Lebanon, thereby endangering Lebanese civilians and using them as human shields.”
Adraee reiterated that the Israeli army “will continue to act to eliminate any threat to the state of Israel.”
Earlier in the afternoon, another Israeli strike targeted a Renault Rapid at the entrance of the village of Yater, killing the driver instantly.
