Thirteen people were killed and numerous more were injured in an Israeli bombing on a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, according to government officials and state media. Since the Israel-Hizbollah conflict’s ceasefire a year ago, it was the bloodiest attack on Lebanon.
According to the state-run National News Agency, a car in the parking area of a mosque in the Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp on the outskirts of the coastal city of Sidon was struck by the drone strike. Without providing any information, the Lebanese Health Ministry reported that the airstrike had killed thirteen individuals and injured dozens more. While ambulances raced to remove the dead and injured, Hamas members in the neighborhood blocked media from getting to the scene.
According to the Israeli military, an operation against Israel and its forces was being planned at a Hamas training facility. The Israeli army would keep fighting Hamas wherever it exists, it further stated.
In a statement, Hamas denounced the attack, claiming that it struck a sports playground rather than a training facility. In the Ein el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in the southern port city of Sidon, Lebanon, Palestinians inspect vehicles damaged by an Israeli strike that occurred on Tuesday night.
