The injured were reportedly transferred to hospitals in the coastal city of Tyre, according to news agency.

In addition to the airstrike, Israeli artillery reportedly shelled areas on the outskirts of the towns of Mansouri and Majdal Zoun early in the morning.

Lebanese officials say that since March 2, Israeli strikes in the country have killed more than 2,840 people and injured over 8,690 others. They also report that more than 1.6 million people have been displaced, amounting to roughly one-fifth of the population.
