******** strikes on Lebanon ***** six, officials say

******** air strikes on the village of Khreibeh in the Baalbek District of eastern Lebanon have ******* six people, including three children, and injured 11 others, the Lebanese health ministry says.

Among the injured were five children, two of whom were in critical condition, the ministry said.

Strikes earlier on Saturday ******* two medics in south Lebanon, including one in Borj Rahal and another in Kfartebnit, and injured four other rescue workers, with two still missing, the ministry said.

******** air strikes also targeted areas of the southern suburbs of Beirut controlled by the Hezbollah militant group for a fifth consecutive day, with at least 15 strikes on Saturday, according to two security sources.

The ******** military said the attacks were directed at Hezbollah infrastructure, including a weapons storage facility and a command centre.

A soldier was ******* during combat in southern Lebanon, the ******** military said on Saturday.

There was no word yet from Lebanese authorities on casualties in the strikes on the capital’s southern suburbs.

******* launched its ground and air offensive against Hezbollah in late September after almost a year of cross-border hostilities in parallel with the war in the Gaza Strip.

It says it aims to secure the return home of tens of thousands of Israelis forced to flee northern ******* under Hezbollah *****.

*******’s campaign has dealt heavy blows to Hezbollah.

It has also forced more than a million Lebanese to flee their homes, creating a humanitarian crisis.

Lebanon’s health ministry says ******** attacks have ******* at least 3452 people through Friday since October 7, 2023, most since late September.

It does not distinguish between civilian casualties and fighters.

******* says Hezbollah attacks have ******* about 100 civilians and soldiers in northern *******, the ********-occupied Golan Heights and southern Lebanon over the last year.

In the Gaza Strip, medics said on Saturday an ******** strike ******* 10 Palestinians and wounded at least 20 others at a school in Gaza City’s Shati ******** camp currently sheltering displaced families.

The ******* Nations-run Abu Assi school, where rescue operations are ongoing, may still have people trapped under the rubble, health officials said.

There was no immediate comment from ******** officials.

The ******** military reported later on Saturday that two rockets fired at ******* from the northern Gaza Strip were intercepted.

The launches show the ability of ************ militant groups to ***** rockets into ******* despite more than 13 months of an aerial and ground offensive that turned vast land in the enclave into wasteland and displaced most of the 2.3 million population.

************ health officials said at least 30 people have been ******* by ******** military strikes across the enclave on Saturday.

The Gaza health ministry said 43,799 people have been confirmed ***** since October 7, 2023.

****** militants ******* about 1200 Israelis that day and still hold dozens of about 250 hostages they took back to the Gaza Strip, according to ******** tallies.
