Israel Attacks Southern Lebanon, Killing 10 Civilians from Syria

HeadlineAug 19, 2024

Regional tensions remain high amid ongoing attacks around the Israel-Lebanon border. Lebanese state media reported an Israeli strike in the south of the country killed at least 10 Syrian nationals Saturday, including two children. This is a witness of that attack.

Yaser Jaber: “Honestly, a number of workers were martyred on the site, including the janitor, along with his wife and two children. With them were a number of workers who also lived in the same building. They are all Syrians. This is a civil establishment that works in metal trades for hangars, false ceilings and homes, and has nothing to do with military things at all.”

Meanwhile, Israeli forces earlier today raided the town of Houla in southern Lebanon, according to local reports.
