Hezbollah linked media report 4 killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon

Lebanon’s Al-Meyadeen reports that a woman and her two sons were killed in an Israeli strike on the Lebanese town of Souaneh.

Al-Manar, which like al-Meyadeen is linked to Hezbollah, reports that one person was also killed in Adchit.

There are also reports of several injured in the Israeli strikes

Lebanese security source says 4 civilians killed in Israeli airstrike on south Lebanon

A Lebanese security source tells AFP that Israeli airstrikes in south Lebanon killed four civilians, including two children, and wounded nine other people.

“A woman was killed along with her child and her stepchild in a strike that targeted Sawwaneh,” while a fourth civilian was killed in a strike on a building in Adshit, the security source tells AFP, requesting anonymity as they are not authorized to speak to the media. Nine other people were wounded in the strikes on south Lebanon, the source adds.

The strikes came following a wave of rockets on Safed in northern Israel earlier this morning in which a woman was killed and several others wounded.


West Bank terrorists open fire at kibbutz inside Israel, no injuries

The Islamic Jihad terror group’s Al-Quds Brigade takes responsibility for opening fire at Meirav, an Israeli kibbutz abutting the northern West Bank near Beit She’an.

There were no injuries in the attack, which occurred as kids were heading home from school, a kibbutz spokesperson says, according to Ynet. One home may have been hit by bullets, according to the report.


Videos show strikes deep inside southern Lebanon

Footage from Lebanon shared online shows a series of Israeli bombings in a number of towns in the south of the country, including areas in Nabatiyeh Governorate, deeper inside the country than most previous strikes.

Among the towns reported hit are Adchit, Chehabiyah, Bouslaiya, Kfar Dunin and Souneh.

Adchit sits some 15 kilometers (9 miles) from the Israeli border and Bouslaiya some 25 kilometers (15 miles).

Indeed, this is not something usual. The town of Al-Shahabiya in southern Lebanon is under intensive Israeli airstrikes.


IDF says jets carrying out ‘widespread strikes’ in Lebanon

The IDF says fighter jets are currently carrying out a “widespread” wave of airstrikes in Lebanon.

The airstrikes come after rockets were fired at northern Israel, including an army base in Safed, killing an Israeli woman and injuring eight other people.


Thousands seen evacuating from Khan Younis hospital where they sheltered

Palestinians sheltering in the main hospital in the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis have begun to leave under the Israeli military’s order, videos shared by medics show.

Videos show dozens of Palestinians carrying sacks of their belongings and making their way out of the Nasser Hospital complex. Though medical staff and patients have been told they need not leave the premises, a doctor wearing green hospital scrubs is seen walking ahead of the crowd, some of whom were carrying white flags.

Safed says no plans to evacuate after ‘rocket deluge’

The head of the Mateh Asher Regional Council in northern Israel is calling on the government to “wake up” and get out in front of the threat from Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force on the northern border.

“The north was subjected to a deluge of rockets this morning,” Moshe Davidovich says, according to Walla. “The head of the Radwan Force is spitting on us time after time and we think it’s raining. I reiterate, there’s no north without security.”

Safed Mayor Shuki Ohana tells the Ynet news site that the Upper Galilee’s largest city is ready should tensions continue to snowball. “We have shelters… we’ll do an assessment and see where this goes.”

But speaking to Army Radio, he says the city is short on shelters, though an evacuation is not currently being considered.
