Palestinian health officials have confirmed that the strikes resulted in thirteen fatalities and several injuries. The area targeted was reportedly near the Khaled bin al-Walid mosque, causing significant damage to a residential building and surrounding structures.<\/p>\n<p>While the Israeli military claims the operation targeted &#8220;terrorists&#8221; operating from a Hamas training facility in southern Lebanon, alleging the location was used for planning attacks against Israel, Hamas has vehemently denied these claims.
