Israeli Strike in Lebanon Kills Syrian Refugee Family, Including Children

DID Press: An Israeli airstrike on a residential house in the town of Adloun in southern Lebanon has killed nine Syrian refugees from the same family, including six children, according to local reports.

The targeted strike hit a civilian home where members of a displaced Syrian family were living. Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health confirmed that the bodies recovered from the rubble belong to members of a single Syrian family.

Sources in Lebanon said the incident occurred despite a ceasefire agreement that came into effect on April 17 and was later extended for 45 days starting May 17 through U.S.-mediated negotiations.

Authorities have not yet released further details regarding the intended target of the strike or whether additional casualties occurred in the surrounding area.
