US attack on Yemen capital killed four: Health Ministry
Two people killed in Israeli attack on Lebanon
A reminder that an Israeli attack in southern Lebanon today killed at least two people, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. The initial toll in the attack on Zibqin was one person but one wounded person later died, the ministry said.
The latest attack comes a week after Israel targeted Beirut for the first time since a fragile truce was announced in November.
Lebanon’s army dismantles explosives planted by Israeli forces
The Lebanese army says it has removed “explosive engineering obstacles” placed by Israeli forces in Alma ash-Shaab and Labbouneh.
“As part of its ongoing efforts to address repeated Israeli violations, a unit from the Lebanese Army worked in the areas of Alma [ash-Shaab] and Labbouneh, in the Tyre district, to dismantle obstacles placed by the Israeli military to block a road inside Lebanese territory,” a military statement said.
The unit also defused two explosive devices used to booby-trap the barriers, it added.
The statement noted that “army command continues efforts to address hostile violations in close coordination with the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), while the Israeli enemy persists in its attacks on various Lebanese regions and violations of Lebanese security”.
Israel has continued to carry out raids in Lebanon since the November 27 ceasefire, striking what it says are Hezbollah military targets that violated the agreement. But most of the victims have been civilians.
