"Israel continues to attack Lebanon on a near-daily basis in violation of a yearlong ceasefire with Hezbollah. At least 13 people have been killed in an Israeli air strike on a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health. The drone strike hit a car on Tuesday in the car park of a mosque in the Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp on the outskirts of the coastal city of Sidon, the Lebanese state-run National News Agency reported."
"Israel said it struck members of the Palestinian armed group Hamas who were operating in a training compound in the refugee camp. When we say we will not tolerate any threat on our northern border, this means all terrorist groups operating in the region, the Israeli military's Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee said in a statement. We will continue to act forcefully against Hamas's attempts to establish a foothold in Lebanon and eliminate its elements that threaten our security."
Near-daily Israeli attacks on Lebanon have continued despite a yearlong ceasefire with Hezbollah. An Israeli drone strike hit a car in the Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp near Sidon, killing at least 13 people and wounding others, with ambulances transporting more wounded to hospitals. Israel said the strike targeted Hamas members in a training compound; Hamas denied having training facilities in Lebanon and called the strike a fabrication and an attack on Palestinians and Lebanese sovereignty. Other Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon killed additional civilians. The violence is linked to broader conflict since Israel launched its war on Gaza in October 2023.
