Israel carried out intense airstrikes on southern Lebanon early Saturday, killing one person, wounding seven and briefly cutting a highway that links Beirut with parts of south Lebanon, the Health Ministry said.
The pre-dawn airstrikes on the village of Msayleh struck a place that sold heavy machinery, destroying a large number of vehicles.
A vehicle carrying vegetables that happened to be passing by at the time of the strikes was hit, killing one person and wounding another, according to Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV.
The Health Ministry later said that the one slain was a Syrian citizen, while the wounded were a Syrian national and six Lebanese, including two women.
Issuing a statemnet on Saturday, Hezbollah called for the Lebanese government to take a firm stance, maintain national unity, take immediate diplomatic action, and file a complaint with the UN Security Council to stop the Zionist regime's attacks.
These attacks require the necessity of national solidarity among all Lebanese, a firm stance in the face of current challenges and threats, extensive diplomatic and political action, active action in Arab and international circles, and a complaint to the Security Council in order to pressure the Israeli enemy to stop its attacks, the statement added.
Earlier this month, the UN human rights chief, Volker Türk, called for renewed efforts to bring a permanent end to hostilities in Lebanon following the war. He said that until the end of September, they have verified 103 civilians killed in Lebanon since the ceasefire.
