Overview
- Lebanon’s Health Ministry put the death toll at least 13 with several wounded, noting the figures are preliminary and could change, as other reports ranged from 11 to 15.
- The state-run National News Agency said a drone initially hit a car near the Khalid bin al-Walid Mosque, with later reports describing missiles striking a nearby compound.
- The Israeli military said it targeted militants operating in a Hamas training compound and said it used precision munitions, aerial surveillance and additional intelligence to limit civilian harm.
- Hamas denied any military presence in Palestinian camps and said the strike hit an open sports field used by residents, a claim that could not be independently verified due to restricted access.
- Multiple outlets described the incident as among the deadliest in Lebanon since the November 2024 ceasefire with Hezbollah, as Israeli strikes in the south have persisted over the past year.
