Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon killed two people in 12 hours, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said on Tuesday.
In a written statement, the ministry said Israeli forces targeted two towns in the south of the country. One strike hit a minibus in the town of Hanin in the Bint Jbeil district of Nebatiye province, while another targeted a car in the Marjeyoun district, also in Nebatiye.
According to Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA), Israeli forces fired multiple missiles at two vehicles in Hanin.
The report said one of the victims, identified as Mohammed Tahsin Kashakish, was preparing to start his vehicle to pick up students from school when it was struck. He was killed at the scene. The second vehicle targeted in Hanin was also reportedly owned by Kashakish. Fires that broke out in the vehicles were later extinguished, and his body was transferred to a hospital in Bint Jbeil.
In a separate statement, the Israeli army claimed the strikes in southern Lebanon targeted two Hezbollah members.
