South Lebanon: At least 13 people have reportedly been killed following Israeli airstrikes on the Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health. The strikes, which occurred earlier today, have caused significant damage within the camp.
DZWatch correspondents are on the ground assessing the aftermath of the attacks. Initial reports indicate widespread destruction in the targeted areas of the camp. Rescue efforts are underway to locate and assist those affected by the bombings.
The stated reasons behind the strikes remain unconfirmed. However, tensions in the region have been high. Hamas has denied having any military presence within Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon.
The situation is rapidly evolving, and DZWatch will continue to provide updates as they become available. The strikes have raised concerns about the potential for further escalation and the impact on civilian populations in the area.
This is a developing story.
