1 killed, 3 hurt in violent Israeli airstrike in Tyre region

Israeli warplanes on Thursday bombed an open area between the Tyre district towns of Toura and al-Abbasiyeh, killing one person and wounding three others, the National News Agency said.

The strike also sparked panic among students in the schools of Maarakeh, al-Abbasiyeh, Toura and Tyre, prompting several schools to suspend classes and creating major traffic congestion on Tyre’s entrances.

The Israeli army claimed the strike targeted militants operating inside Hezbollah “infrastructure” belonging to Hezbollah’s “construction unit.”

“The infrastructure was being used to manufacture tools for the reconstruction of terrorist infrastructure that was targeted and destroyed during the war,” the Israeli army added.
