Israel strike on Marwaniyeh late Monday killed six
Lebanon's civil defense agency said Tuesday that six people had been killed in an Israeli strike on the south Lebanon village of Marwaniyeh the previous evening.
In a statement on Facebook, the agency said rescue operations had been ongoing since late Monday at the site of "a residential building that was targeted" in Marwaniyeh, near the coastal city of Sidon, adding that "these operations resulted in the removal of six bodies and the rescue of three wounded people".
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency had earlier reported an Israeli strike on the village, which came more than 12 hours after Israel's army ordered residents to evacuate ahead of strikes.
