Beirut, May 28 (SANA) An Israeli airstrike on a highway in southern Lebanon killed six people, including children, on Thursday, Lebanese state media reported.
Lebanon’s National News Agency said the strike hit a family traveling along the Adloun highway in the Nabi Sari area near Sidon as they attempted to flee villages threatened by ongoing Israeli attacks.
The agency said the strike took place at dawn and resulted in the deaths of all six family members.
The attack came a day after the Lebanese army announced that two soldiers had been killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon.
Israeli warplanes also carried out a series of strikes on towns and villages in southern and eastern Lebanon on Wednesday, while Israeli authorities issued evacuation warnings for residents living south of the Zahrani River.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said on Wednesday that the death toll from Israeli attacks since March 2 had reached 3,269, with 9,840 others injured.
