Israeli Airstrikes Hit Msayleh Heavy-Machinery Site in South Lebanon, Kill One and Wound Seven

Israel says the site stored Hezbollah engineering gear, prompting Lebanese condemnation after the Gaza ceasefire.

Overview

  • Pre-dawn strikes hit a yard selling heavy machinery along the Musaylih road near al-Najariyah in Msayleh, destroying numerous vehicles.
  • The Health Ministry said a Syrian national was killed and seven people were wounded, including one Syrian and six Lebanese with two women among the injured.
  • The blasts briefly severed the highway linking Beirut with parts of southern Lebanon before traffic was restored.
  • The Israeli military said it targeted infrastructure storing engineering tools used to rebuild Hezbollah facilities.
  • Hezbollah-run Al-Manar reported a passing vegetable truck was struck during the raid, as the U.N. rights chief recently counted 103 civilians killed in Lebanon since the ceasefire and urged a durable end to hostilities.
