Israeli drone strike injures 5 people in southern Lebanon
Lebanon’s Health Ministry says an Israeli drone strike has injured five people in the southern town of Majdal Selm.
The Wednesday drone strike was carried out while people were returning to their homes, in defiance of the Israeli regime’s threats.
On Tuesday, 24 people were injured in Nabatieh in southern Lebanon due to Israeli airstrikes, said the health ministry.
Lebanese state media also reported that at least four people were abducted by the Israeli forces as they were inspecting their home for damage after returning to the region.
In response to the airstrikes on the town of Nabatieh, senior Hezbollah official Mohammad Raad said the Lebanese people’s right to resist Israeli attacks is “sacred and legitimate.”
He said this right should be exercised at the time and place deemed necessary to protect the country’s security.
On January 26 and 27, Israeli forces killed at least 24 people, including six women, and wounded over 140, including 12 children, in southern Lebanon as thousands of were returning home.
Israel is violating the November 27, 2024 ceasefire with Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah.
Under the ceasefire agreement, the Israeli military was supposed to withdraw from Lebanon on January 26.
Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati has condemned the Israeli strikes, and called them "another violation of Lebanese sovereignty and a blatant breach of the ceasefire arrangement."
Since the ceasefire agreement, the regime has killed at least 83 people in Lebanon, according to data obtained from the Ministry of Health.
