The Israeli military has bombed a building where paramedics from a Sunni Muslim group in Lebanon were working. Seven people were killed in the bombing. In response, Lebanon fired rockets into northern Israel, killing one person.
The village of Hebbariye was attacked after a day of fighting between Israel’s military and Lebanon’s Hezbollah group. This raised worries that the situation along the border might get even worse, as there has been ongoing conflict there for the past five months during the Israel-Hamas war.
The bombing happened late on Tuesday and targeted an office of the Islamic Emergency and Relief Corps, as reported by the Lebanese Ambulance Association. It was one of the deadliest attacks in a conflict along the border.
The paramedics group shared the names of seven people who volunteered and died in the attack. It said the strike was a clear violation of helping people in need.
Ali Noureddine, a resident of Hebbariye, told The Associated Press that seven people were found dead in the rubble before sunrise on Wednesday.
The Israeli military attacked a military building in Hebbariye and killed a member of Lebanon‘s Sunni Muslim al-Jamaa al-Islamiya, or the Islamic Group, and some other fighters. It said the man was part of attacks on Israel.
Several hours later, Hezbollah said it struck back at the airstrike by shooting many rockets on Wednesday morning at the northern Israeli city of Kiryat Shmona and a military base there.
Rescue workers in Israel reported that a 25-year-old man died when a fire broke out in an industrial park in Kiryat Shmona after it was hit directly. Video from the place showed a lot of black smoke coming out of a building.
Another person got a small injury. The Israeli military said that about 30 rockets were fired from Lebanon towards the northern part of Israel.
Nada Khleif was in her little bakery in Hebbariyeh when the strike caused a lot of damage to her business and a nearby apartment. Fortunately, two of her relatives in the apartment were not hurt.
“The bakery was the only way I could make money to survive. ” “It’s not there anymore,” she said.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah fighters started shooting rockets at Israel one day after Hamas-led fighters attacked southern Israel on Oct. The seventh text will be rewritten in simple words. There has been a lot of fighting lately along the border between Lebanon and Israel. International mediators are trying hard to stop a big war between Hezbollah and Israel.
The fighting in Israel has caused the deaths of nine civilians and 11 soldiers. Around 240 Hezbollah fighters and 40 civilians have died in Lebanon.
