Israeli airstrike targets apartment in Jiye

Lebanese state media reported a strike on an apartment in the Jiye coastal area south of Beirut on Tuesday, more than a month into the Israel-Hezbollah war.

The official National News Agency said "a raid targeted a residential apartment in a building in the town of Jiye," where an AFP correspondent said a large plume of grey smoke covered the area.

Al-Mayadeen television said a woman was killed and 15 people were wounded in the strike.

This is the second Israeli airstrike to target Jiye since the beginning of the Israel-Hezbollah war in 2023. The first strike had targeted a center for Hezbollah-affiliated paramedics.
