An Israeli airstrike \"completely destroyed\" a historic mosque in southern Lebanon early Sunday, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency. The strike targeted the Al-Omari Mosque in Kfar Tibnit village around 3:45 a.m., escalating fears of a widening conflict between Israel and Hezbollah amid ongoing regional instability.
Lebanese state media called the attack part of Israel’s \"intensified bombardment campaign\" across southern Lebanon in recent weeks. The mosque, a cultural landmark, now lies in ruins — sparking outrage locally and online.
Why this matters: Cross-border strikes have surged since October’s Israel-Gaza conflict, with over 500 reported Lebanese casualties. Analysts warn the latest destruction of civilian infrastructure risks deepening hostilities. \"This isn’t just about missiles — it’s erasing history,\" tweeted one Beirut-based journalist.
Global response remains divided, while UN peacekeepers urge restraint. For now, residents brace as tensions hover at a boiling point.
