Israeli Strike Kills Two Women in South Lebanon Home
(MENAFN) Two women were killed and six others wounded Sunday when an Israeli airstrike hit a house in the southern Lebanese town of Arabsalim, in the Nabatieh district, Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported.
According to the agency, Israeli warplanes struck the residence directly, killing the two women instantly and injuring six others who were rushed by emergency crews to hospitals in Nabatieh. A second house in Arabsalim was also hit in the same wave of strikes and was completely leveled, NNA said.
The agency reported that Israeli aircraft had been striking multiple locations across southern Lebanon since 5 a.m., in what amounted to a sustained bombardment. Among the sites hit was the residence of Ali Moallem, the former mukhtar of Kfar Remman, located near the town's industrial zone in Nabatieh district — an attack that left several people wounded, NNA said.
The surge in strikes follows Israel's claim that its army intercepted a drone it says was launched by Hezbollah at Israeli forces stationed in what Israel refers to as a "security zone" inside southern Lebanon — an assertion that has coincided with a marked escalation in Israeli attacks on the region in recent days.
The renewed violence comes despite a U.S.-brokered framework agreement signed June 26 that outlines a phased Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory in return for the deployment of Lebanese army forces to the south.
Since Israel resumed its campaign against Lebanon on March 2, the strikes have killed 4,358 people and wounded 12,359 others, while displacing more than 1 million residents, according to figures from Lebanese authorities.
Israeli forces continue to hold ground in parts of southern Lebanon — including territory occupied for decades as well as land seized during the 2023–2024 conflict — with troops having pushed more than 10 kilometers into Lebanese territory since the current round of fighting began.
