11 people injured in Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon

At least 11 people, including two Syrian refugees, were injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting a house in southern Lebanon on Saturday evening.

Two Syrians were among the injured in the airstrike on the town of Srebbine in the district of Tyre, according to Lebanon's official National News Agency.

Earlier in the day, Lebanon's National News Agency reported that Israeli warplanes carried out two raids at dawn on the towns of Kafr Shuba and Shebaa in the district of Hasbaiyya, killing a civilian and destroying two houses.

Tensions have escalated along Lebanon's border with Israel since the Israeli army launched a deadly military offensive on the Gaza Strip following Hamas' Oct. 7 attack, amid an exchange of cross-border fire between Hezbollah and Israeli forces, in the deadliest clashes since the two sides had fought a full-scale war in 2006.
