Israeli Strike on Lebanon’s Ain al-Hilweh Camp Kills at Least 13

Lebanese officials call it the deadliest breach of last year’s Hezbollah ceasefire.

Overview

  • Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported at least 13 people killed and more wounded still being transported from the camp on the outskirts of Sidon.
  • The Israeli military said it hit militants operating in a Hamas training compound and stated it used precision munitions, surveillance and added intelligence to limit civilian harm.
  • Hamas and Palestinian officials denied any military presence in the camp, asserting the strike hit an open sports field and killed young football players.
  • Lebanon’s state news agency said a drone struck a car near the Khalid bin al-Walid Mosque inside the camp, with subsequent reports citing additional missiles on a nearby center.
  • A separate Israeli strike in the village of Tiri hours later killed one person and injured students on a passing school bus, reflecting a day of multiple attacks in southern Lebanon.
