Most of the people were killed in an airstrike in the north of the country. According to security sources, the attack in the predominantly Christian town of Aito hit a building in which internally displaced persons had sought refuge.

According to the Israeli military, a target with links to Hezbollah was attacked. The case is being investigated.

None of the information could be independently verified.

A total of 2,350 people have been killed and 10,906 others injured in Lebanon since the outbreak of fighting between the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia and the Israeli military just over a year ago. The Ministry of Health does not differentiate between Hezbollah members and civilians in its list.
