BEIRUT, March 30 (Xinhua) -- An Israeli airstrike Monday on the Rihab area in Beirut's southern suburbs killed one person and wounded 17 others, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry.
In a statement, the ministry said the wounded included 10 Lebanese and six Syrians, among them four children, as well as a woman of Kenyan nationality.
Israel carried out two airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs on Monday, after issuing warnings urging residents to evacuate the area.
Cross-border fighting has continued along the Lebanon-Israel border since March 2, when Hezbollah launched rockets toward Israel for the first time since a ceasefire took effect on Nov. 27, 2024, triggering intensified Israeli airstrikes across southern and eastern Lebanon. ■
