A senior representative of the pro-Iranian movement "Hezbollah" was the target of the Israeli attack carried out earlier today in the densely populated Basta neighborhood in Beirut, reported France Presse, citing a source from the security forces, writes BTA.
It is not yet known if he was killed, according to the same source. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported 11 deaths in the airstrike that destroyed a residential building.
63 are injured and the death toll could rise as rescuers search the rubble for survivors, the Associated Press reported. DNA tests are being used to identify the victims.
Five rockets fell today in the area of the city of Metula, in northern Israel, near the border with Lebanon, DPA reported, citing the Israeli armed forces. According to "Aaretz" they hit farmland, though one of them fell near a place where farm workers had gathered.
According to preliminary data, no one was injured or killed.
The Islamist movement "Hezbollah" has fired rockets across the border with Israel since the beginning of the war in Gaza, claiming that its purpose was to support the Palestinian movement "Hamas", DPA recalls.
