Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Saturday killed at least nine people, including three members of the Lebanese military, according to corroborated reports. One strike targeted a vehicle on the road linking Nabatiyeh and Marjayoun, killing a brigadier general, a captain, and another soldier. Another strike hit the village of Saksakiyah, killing six people and wounding four. The Israeli military confirmed it struck a vehicle that killed Lebanese military personnel.
The Lebanese army stated that Israeli attacks strengthen its resolve. Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun condemned the strike against its military as a violation of sovereignty and international law.
Discrepancies exist in the total death toll: some reports state nine people were killed, while others, including AP News, report at least 13 people died, including a man and his 12-year-old daughter.
According to NBC News, the Israeli military detected missiles launched from Iran and activated air defense systems to intercept them. The U.S. military is monitoring the active situation between Iran and Israel, and there has been no U.S. involvement in defending against this round of Iranian missiles.
