South Lebanon: The death toll from the Israeli raid in Nabatieh, rose to 8 persons from one family
The death toll from the Israeli raid that targeted a residential apartment in the city of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon on Wednesday night rose to eight people from one family, according to Lebanese security and medical sources.
An Israeli drone with two air-to-surface missiles at nine o'clock yesterday evening, local time, targeted an apartment in a four-story building in the center of the city of Nabatieh, as part of a "wide wave" of raids inside Lebanon after a missile bombardment on the city of Safed, northern Israel, that left one dead and seven wounded.
Lebanese security sources told Xinhua News Agency today (Thursday): “The raid led to the complete destruction of the apartment and caused serious damage to the four-storey building, which is now on the verge of collapse due to large cracks in it.”
The sources added, "Nearby residential apartments, a gas station, ten cars, and 12 commercial stores were damaged" as a result of the attack.
Following the raid, several teams equipped with bulldozers and cranes worked throughout the night to remove the rubble of the apartment and neighboring buildings, according to sources in the Lebanese Civil Defense and the Islamic Health Authority.
