Lebanon state news agency says three children killed in Israeli attack

The agency is reporting that three Syrian children were killed in an Israeli attack on agricultural land in southern Lebanon’s Umm al-Tut.


Hezbollah, Israel claim cross-border attacks as civilians reportedly killed

Earlier, Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported that three Syrian children were killed in an Israeli raid in Umm al-Tut in southern Lebanon.

Prior to that, the agency reported that two people riding a motorcycle were killed in an attack near Kfar Tebnit in southern Lebanon. A Lebanese security source told AFP that the two killed were “civilians” of Syrian nationality who were working in the area.

Following that, Hezbollah said it launched “dozens of Katyusha rockets” at northern Israel’s Kiryat Shmona “in response to the Israeli enemy attacks”. The group cited “the death of two civilians”.

Israel, meanwhile, said its air force “struck a launcher in the area of Blat that was identified firing projectiles toward the Kiryat Shmona area”, as well as “a Hezbollah terrorist cell” in the Yarin area, which is nearby to the location where the children were reportedly killed.
