BEIRUT (Reuters) – At least two people were killed and six others injured after an Israeli airstrike hit a residential area in the southern Lebanese town of Hanin, Lebanon’s official news agency NNA said on Tuesday.
“Israeli warplanes struck a two-storey house with two air-to-surface missiles, completely destroying the building which was inhabited by a family that had not left the town since Israeli attacks began,” NNA said.
Israeli forces and Lebanon’s armed group Hezbollah have been exchanging fire for over six months in parallel to the Gaza war, in the most serious hostilities since they fought a major war in 2006.
