At least nine people, including one woman, were killed in Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon’s Nabatieh district, according to the country’s state news agency NNA. The attack also left at least 12 others injured, including two women. In a separate strike on the city of Hanaway in Tyre district, ten people were wounded, one of them critically. Another airstrike in the city of Marakeh injured seven people, including a child and three women.

The series of attacks comes amid rising tensions along the southern Lebanese border, where Israeli strikes and cross-border hostilities have intensified in recent weeks. The escalation has heightened regional concern over the growing instability in the area.

According to the report, the continued airstrikes and mounting casualties have deepened fears of further conflict spreading across southern Lebanon.
