Ten killed, 15 wounded in Israeli air strike in southern Lebanon: Report
Lebanon’s National News Agency reports that the strikes hit the town of Qana, which is 10 kilometres (6 miles) southeast of Tyre.
Air strikes continue across Lebanon
In the past three hours, there have been more than 12 [Israeli] air strikes in different areas in South Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley [in eastern Lebanon].
The latest air strikes were in Qana, a town close to Tyre. There were four air strikes there, and they targeted a health centre. For now, we don’t have any reports of casualties, but from the pictures we’re seeing, it’s not looking good.
Also in other areas, such as Nabatieh [a large city in south Lebanon], there was an air strike, too.
These attacks continue, just like every day, in several areas around Lebanon at the moment. The Israeli army has issued in the past few hours a statement warning that they might be hitting ambulances because they’re accusing Hezbollah of using them. It seems they’re hitting everything, regardless of who’s using or not using it.
