Israeli Airstrike in Southern Lebanon Kills Nine Civilians
An Israeli airstrike targeted a residential building in the Nabatieh region of southern Lebanon, killing at least nine civilians, including a woman and her two children. Five others were injured, two critically. The Israeli Defense Forces claimed the facility was used by Hezbollah for weapons storage, though local health officials described the building as a civilian residence. The attack represents the highest single-day death toll in Lebanon since the fragile security agreements established in June were challenged by recent escalations.
