7 killed in fresh Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon

Seven people were killed in a series of Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon Thursday, as Tel Aviv continued to escalate its offensive on the Arab country, Lebanese media said.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency, citing a Health Ministry statement, said three people were killed and a child was injured in a dawn strike in the village of Aramoun in Beirut's southern suburbs.

Three more people were killed and others injured when an Israeli strike targeted the town of Barish in the Tyre District, the agency said.

Another Israeli drone strike hit a car in the town of Deir Antar, killing one person, according to NNA.

On March 2, Lebanese group Hezbollah began attacking Israeli military sites in response to repeated Israeli attacks on Lebanon and the killing of Iran's then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in a US-Israeli strike.

Israel retaliated with launching a military campaign on Lebanon, carrying out airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs and areas in the south and east of the country, and on March 3 began a limited ground incursion in southern Lebanon.

According to Lebanon's Health Minister Rakan Nasser El Din, the attacks have resulted in 634 deaths, including 91 children, and 1,586 injuries.
