Politics Authority: One dead after Israeli attack in southern Lebanon

According to the authorities, one person has been killed in an Israeli attack in southern Lebanon. The attack targeted the village of Hamul, not far from the border with Israel, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health. According to the ministry, the dead man was a Syrian citizen. The Israeli military said it was investigating the case. It was not initially clear whether the victim was a member of Hezbollah.

Following the explosions of pagers and radios on Tuesday and Wednesday, which were presumably coordinated by Israel, and the Israeli attack on a suburb of the capital Beirut, there are concerns that the conflict between Hezbollah and the Israeli military could develop into an open war.
