BEIRUT, April 14 (Xinhua) -- At least 14 people were killed and five others injured in Israeli airstrikes across southern and eastern Lebanon since early Tuesday, according to local reports.
In the south, Israeli warplanes hit multiple areas, killing three in the coastal town of Adloun, two people in the municipality of Arab Salim, one person in the village of Shabriha, and another two in a drone strike targeting a car shortly after midnight near Nabatieh. Three more were killed in a pre-dawn strike in the Bint Jbeil district.
In eastern Lebanon, three members of the same family were killed and another wounded in a pre-dawn airstrike on the town of Sohmor in the western Bekaa. The strikes continued into the early morning hours, destroying more than 10 homes.
An Israeli warplane also struck residential buildings in central Housh, near Tyre, causing extensive damage to homes, electricity networks, and shops. Ambulances and civil defense teams rushed to the site.
Hezbollah said that it carried out multiple drone and rocket attacks on Israeli troop positions and gatherings along the border.
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 on Nov. 27, 2024, triggering intensified Israeli airstrikes across southern and eastern Lebanon. ■
