The Lebanese Health Ministry said on Thursday that eight people were wounded, some seriously, in an Israeli strike on the town of Birj al-Shamali near Tyre during the night. The ministry did not specify the target or the identities of the wounded, and, as with its previous casualty reports, did not distinguish between Hezbollah combatants and civilians. The IDF has not commented on the claim. The report was first circulated by Israeli security analyst Yair Goldblatt. The incident is the latest in a series of Israeli strikes targeting Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, where the IDF has been conducting operations since March.
