🇱🇧 Tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border escalated dramatically earlier today as Israeli air strikes targeted several towns in southern Lebanon, resulting in multiple casualties.
According to reports from the state news agency, the strikes hit the towns of Jibchit, Toul, and Harouf. The latest figures confirm nine people have been killed and 13 others injured. 👆💔
The Israeli military, confirming the operation, issued a new warning immediately afterwards, urging residents to evacuate 16 villages in the area. This suggests the possibility of further military action.
On-the-ground footage captured by CGTN stringers showed scenes of the aftermath, with smoke rising from the impact sites as emergency responders worked at the scene. The images highlight the immediate human cost of the conflict.
Cross-border exchanges of fire between Israeli forces and Lebanese group Hezbollah have occurred frequently in recent months, but today's strikes represent a significant and deadly intensification. The situation remains fluid, and there are growing concerns about a wider regional conflict.
