Ten Killed In Southern Lebanon In One Of The Deadliest Israeli Strikes Since Oct 7<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

An overnight airstrike on southern Lebanon by Israel is being called one of the single deadliest attacks since the daily tit-for-tat exchange of fire began last October. Lebanon\u2019s Ministry of Health announced the devastating attack\u00a0killed at least ten people including “a woman and her two children”<\/strong> – and that five others were wounded, two critically. Some of the deceased were Syrian refugees.<\/p>\n

While Lebanon says that a residential building<\/strong> was hit, Israel’s military maintains that its air force struck a weapons warehouse run by Hezbollah<\/strong> about seven miles from the Israeli border, in Nabatiyeh.<\/p>\n

Al Jazeera<\/em> says that some kind of factory building was struck in the attack, but that there was a residential floor with families and employees living there.<\/p>\n

“We are a well-known family in the area. We have no political affiliation and are not aligned to any political party. We are concerned only with our business and livelihood,”\u00a0Hussein Tahmaz, the factory owner, told<\/a> Al Jazeera. He rejected that Hezbollah used it for weapons storage.<\/p>\n

Hezbollah appeared to quickly retaliate, with Israel’s military conforming “approximately 55 projectiles” being fired into northern Israel<\/strong> on Saturday, resulting in no injuries.<\/p>\n

However, a separate attack resulted in a soldier being severely injured and another lightly wounded after a projectile from Lebanon struck\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, international diplomats have been scrambling, talking to both sides in an effort to avoid all-out war, which still looms. For at least a month now, there has been a greater urgency of countries to get their foreign nationals out<\/a>:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many foreign nationals are gone, heeding the advice of their governments<\/strong>. Plenty of Lebanese have fled too. Others cannot tear themselves away – like the 30-year-old chef of a hip caf\u00e9 (Beirut has too many of these to count). She is tattooed and candid but prefers not to be named.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cLiving in Beirut is like being in a toxic relationship you can\u2019t escape,\u201d she tells me.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI am emotionally attached. I have family abroad, and I could leave, but I don\u2019t want to. We live day to day. And we joke about the situation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In the next breath she admits business has suffered, and she has post-traumatic stress disorder. \u201cIt\u2019s like a cold war for us,\u201d <\/strong>she says. She is expecting a hotter one but hopes it will be short.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lebanon’s economy had already for the last couple years been in free-fall, with a severe banking crisis and runaway inflation, and with common Lebanese blocked from accessing their own savings by local banks.<\/p>\n

Israel has warned that if all-out war breaks out it will send not just Hezbollah but all of Lebanon back to the “stone age”. Many Western carriers have for weeks suspended service to both Beirut and Tel Aviv, citing safety concerns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
