Israeli strikes on towns south of Beirut kill 6: Lebanese ministry

Lebanon's health ministry said on Wednesday that Israeli strikes on two towns south of Beirut killed six people and wounded eight.

In a statement, the ministry said that "the Israeli enemy's attacks on the areas of Aramoun and Saadiyat" killed six people and wounded eight others "in a preliminary toll".

Aramoun and Saadiyat are both towns outside of Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah's traditional strongholds.
