Nine members of the same family have been killed in an Israeli airstrike. An Israeli strike at around 3 a.m. on Friday killed nine people from the same family in the southern Lebanese border-town of Shebaa, including four children, mayor Mohammad Saab told Reuters.
The strike hit the family’s home, completely destroying it and causing devastation in the surrounding area. The family had been living in the area for generations and were well-known and respected in the community. The loss of so many innocent lives has left the town in shock and mourning.
The Israeli military stated that the strike was in response to rocket fire from Lebanon into northern Israel, but the exact circumstances surrounding the incident are still unclear. The United Nations has called for an immediate ceasefire and an investigation into the incident.
The tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of conflict and the need for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing tensions in the region. The international community must come together to work towards a lasting peace that will prevent such senseless loss of life in the future.
