An Israeli march targeted the car of a local Hezbollah official in the town of Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon (Al Jazeera)
Al Jazeera's correspondent reported that a local Hezbollah official survived after an Israeli march bombed a car near Bint Jbeil Governmental Hospital in Nabatieh Governorate, southern Lebanon.
Director of Al Jazeera's office in Lebanon, Mazen Ibrahim, said that the Israeli occupation carried out a series of air strikes today in all sectors of southern Lebanon.
The National News Agency reported that “an enemy drone targeted a car near Bint Jbeil Governmental Hospital” and led to “injuries,” without any additional details.
The Civil Defense of the Islamic Message Scouts Association (an ambulance organization linked to the Amal Movement) reported that an injured person was transferred to a hospital in the area.
Several towns in southern Lebanon were subjected to 7 Israeli raids on Monday.
According to the National News Agency, Israeli aircraft also carried out a raid on an uninhabited house in the border town of Tayr Harfa.
On Saturday, Israel targeted a car in the town of Jadra, about 40 kilometers from the Israeli-Lebanese border, in the second targeting outside the southern border area since the start of the escalation of the war in Gaza.
The Israeli sources said that what they described as a leader in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Basil Saleh, was the target of the strike, but he survived it.
The strike led to the death of two people, one of them a civilian, while Hezbollah mourned one of its members from the town's population.
Since the outbreak of war in the Gaza Strip on October 7, the southern Lebanese border has witnessed a daily exchange of bombing between Hezbollah and Israel, which has raised international fears of an expansion of the scope of escalation and prompted Western officials to visit Beirut and urge calm.
Since the start of the escalation, at least 236 people have been killed in southern Lebanon, including 170 Hezbollah fighters and 30 civilians, including 3 journalists. In Israel, the occupation army announced the killing of 15, including 9 soldiers.
