Beirut, March 19 (SANA) Two people were killed and eight others injured Thursday in Israeli airstrikes targeting towns in the Tyre district in southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese National News Agency (NNA).
NNA said the strikes hit Houche Sour, al-Burj al-Shamali, al-Masaken al-Shaabiya, al-Bazouriya and Dbayel, resulting in two fatalities and eight injuries.
Israeli warplanes also carried out strikes on Jabal al-Rafee and the outskirts of al-Rihaneh in the Nabatieh region, while intermittent artillery shelling targeted the outskirts of al-Ghandourieh and Wadi al-Salouqi.
Another airstrike hit the Mar Takla area near Ansariyeh, according to the report.
Since March 2, Israel has intensified its attacks on Lebanon following strikes by Hezbollah on Israeli positions. Daily airstrikes have targeted Beirut’s southern suburbs and large areas in southern and Bekaa Lebanon, causing hundreds of deaths and more than 2,000 injuries.
The escalation entered a more dangerous phase after Israeli forces carried out a ground incursion into southern Lebanon on Monday along multiple axes.
