At least two people have been killed in an Israeli attack on the city of Majdal Salm in southern Lebanon, a country where a series of pager explosions also occurred today, killing at least nine people.
The Emergency Operations Center of the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health announced in a statement that two people died following "an Israeli attack on the city of Majdal Salm" in the south of the country.
So far, it is not known whether the deaths announced by the Lebanese Ministry of Health are civilians or members of the Shiite group Hezbollah, which usually announces the deaths of its "martyrs", although it never details the circumstances of the incidents.
The Israeli army also said today that it had killed three members of Hezbollah in the city of Blida in southern Lebanon.
Furthermore, this attack comes at a time of heightened tension, after at least nine people were killed and more than 2,800 were injured, around 200 of them seriously, in a chain of explosions involving pagers allegedly in the possession of members of the Lebanese Shiite group in various parts of the country.
Hezbollah said in a statement that at least two of its members had died in the explosions and blamed Israel, a country that has so far remained silent on the incident.
Hezbollah and Israel have been engaged in intense crossfire across the border between the two countries for more than eleven months, following the outbreak of war in the Gaza Strip on 7 October.
