US children among five killed in Israeli drone strike on southern Lebanon

Lebanon’s health ministry claims that despite a US-brokered truce that was in effect in November, an Israeli drone strike has killed five people, including three children, in the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil.

The strike injured two other people and struck a motorcycle, according to the state-run National News Agency (NNA) on Sunday.

Nabih Berri, the speaker of the parliament in Lebanon, claimed that their father and the three children, Celine, Hadi, and Aseel, were citizens of the United States. The attack injured the mother of the children.

Israel acknowledged that there had also been fatalities for civilians in the strike, but it claimed that one Hezbollah member had been killed.

Israel frequently attacks what it claims are Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, claiming to be preventing the Lebanese organization’s military resurgence following its conflict with Israel, which resulted in the deaths of most of its senior leaders, including Hassan Nasrallah, its long-time leader.

“New massacre”

Is the Israeli entity in danger of becoming a Lebanese child? NNA reported that Berri inquired. Or does this person’s behavior actually pose a threat to international peace and security by killing without deterrence or accountability?

Nawaf Salam, the prime minister of Lebanon, claimed that Israel had committed “a new massacre.”

According to Salam, who previously served as the head of the International Court of Justice, “What happened is a blatant crime against civilians and a message of intimidation targeting our people returning to their villages in the south.”

Israel’s repeated violations of international law and international resolutions must be condemned by the international community in the most vehement terms.

After more than a year of conflict, Israel’s war on Gaza sparked another claim by Labour Minister Mohamad Haidar that the country had purposefully targeted the Lebanese population.

Because the south’s people’s will prevail over the criminal machine, Haidar claimed, “This plan will not succeed.”

The Shia Muslim organization has been under constant pressure from the US and Saudi Arabia, along with Hezbollah’s allies in Lebanon. Hezbollah will begin being executed, according to Lebanon’s army, which earlier this month presented a plan to the government’s cabinet.
