Three Lebanese citizens, including a woman, lost their lives in an Israeli bombing that targeted the town of Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon last night.

The Lebanese National News Agency reported that the airstrike marked the first attack on Bint Jbeil since the June 2006 war.

The victims were identified as Ibrahim Bazzi, his wife Shorouq, and his brother Ali. The Israeli bombardment not only struck Bint Jbeil but also targeted other towns in the vicinity, including Khiam, Aita al-Shaab, Yaroun, and Kafr Kila.

This airstrike has heightened tensions in the region, and condemnation is expected from Lebanese authorities. The attack on Bint Jbeil, a town with historical significance, underscores the ongoing volatility in the area and raises concerns about the potential escalation of hostilities.

International observers and humanitarian organizations are likely to closely monitor the situation for further developments and responses from relevant authorities. (ILKHA)
