15 killed in 3 Israeli strikes outside Hezbollah strongholds

Lebanon's health ministry said Saturday that at least 15 people had been killed in Israeli strikes on three areas considered outside Hezbollah's traditional strongholds, updating earlier tolls.

The ministry reported "nine dead and 15 wounded" in an "Israeli enemy strike" on the Keserwan village of Maaysra north of Beirut, raising an earlier toll of five dead.

It also reported two dead, four wounded and unidentified "body parts" in an Israeli strike on Deir Billa, near the northern town of Batroun, and said four people were killed and 18 wounded in a strike on Barja, raising an earlier toll of 14 wounded for the raid in the Chouf district south of the capital.
