Israeli Strikes Kill 4 and Level Hospital in South Lebanon After Hezbollah Drone Attack

3 articles · Updated · The Associated Press · Sep 6

Summary

  • Four people were killed and at least 20 wounded in Israeli strikes on Arabsalim and Nabatiyeh in southern Lebanon, where Lebanese authorities said an empty hospital was destroyed.
  • Israel said it launched the strikes after Hezbollah sent a drone at Israeli troops earlier Sunday and accused the group of using the hospital as a command center.
  • Nabatiyeh lies near a strategic hill that Israel said its forces took control of on Thursday, underscoring how the area has become a renewed flashpoint.
  • More than two months after an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire took effect, broader fighting has eased across Lebanon, but low-level clashes and Israeli strikes have continued.
