Israeli strike south of Beirut kills woman and two children

Lebanon’s health ministry says an Israeli strike on the town of Choueifat, south of Beirut, killed a woman and two children.

“The Israeli enemy strike on the town of Choueifat led to a final toll of three martyrs, including a woman and her baby daughter, and a child of Syrian nationality, in addition to wounding 15 people, including three children and five women,” the ministry said in a statement.

Earlier, the Israeli military said it had “precisely struck” the Lebanese capital without identifying the target.
