BEIRUT: The Israeli military on Sunday told residents of several villages in south Lebanon to leave immediately, warning that it would strike Hezbollah targets there. 'For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and move to the north of the Awali River,' military spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a post on X that included names of more than a dozen villages in south Lebanon.
Lebanon's health ministry said at least eight people were killed and 25 others wounded Sunday in an Israeli strike near the southern city of Sidon. The strike hit a densely-populated area in a Sidon suburb that saw an influx of families displaced from areas further south. It was the first strike there since the Israel-Hezbollah war erupted last month.
'The Israeli enemy's raid on Haret Saida resulted in a... toll of eight killed,' the health ministry said, revising an earlier toll of two dead. The official National News Agency said a child was among the victims. Surrounding shops and buildings were also damaged as paramedics rushed to the site of the attack to search for survivors. — AFP
