Israeli Strike on Lebanon Refugee Camp Kills 13, With IDF Citing Hamas Site

Lebanon calls it the deadliest attack since the Hezbollah ceasefire, underscoring a truce that has not stopped cross-border violence.

Overview

  • Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported 13 dead after a drone hit a car and subsequent missiles struck near the Khalid bin Al-Walid Mosque inside Ein el-Hilweh camp by Sidon.
  • The Israeli military said it targeted militants operating in a Hamas training compound used to plan attacks against Israel and vowed to continue operations against the group.
  • Hamas rejected Israel’s account as a fabrication, saying the strike hit an open sports field and insisting there are no military facilities in Palestinian camps in Lebanon.
  • Hours later, an Israeli strike on a car in the southern village of Tiri killed one person and wounded 11, including students on a passing school bus, according to Lebanese authorities.
  • In Gaza, health officials said at least 25 people were killed in new Israeli airstrikes that Israel said followed fire on its troops under a fragile truce, and in the West Bank a car-ramming and stabbing killed one Israeli as two attackers were shot dead and explosives were found.
