At least 9 killed in Israeli strike on Southern Lebanon

At least nine people were killed and five wounded by an Israeli strike on a residential building in Nabatieh city in southern Lebanon, state news agency NNA said on Saturday.

According to Report, which cites Reuters, the Israeli military said the airstrike targeted a weapons depot used by Hezbollah militants.

Tensions have soared in the region in recent weeks, after a rocket strike blamed on Hezbollah killed 12 children and teens in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israel responded with the killing of a top Hezbollah commander in the suburbs of Beirut.
