Israeli strike kills 17-year-old boy in southern Lebanon

Lebanon’s Health Ministry reports that a 17-year-old boy was killed and six others were wounded after an Israeli air strike struck the town of Deir Siriane in southern Lebanon. 

The Israeli military carried out multiple air raids across southern Lebanon today.

In retaliation Hezbollah also launched several attacks on Israeli positions along the border, and its operatives fired a surface-to-air missile at an Israeli warplane flying in Lebanese airspace overnight, forcing it to retreat.

This follows an Israeli attack a day earlier that killed at least five Syrian migrant workers in southern Lebanon.
