Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reports that an Israeli strike hit a prayer room inside the cemetery of the southern town of Tebnine, killing one person and wounding 11 others. The report has not been independently verified, and the IDF has not commented on the incident.
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) now reports that an Israeli strike hit a prayer room inside the cemetery of the southern town of Tebnine this afternoon, killing one person and wounding 11 others. The report refines earlier Lebanese media accounts that had described the target as a mosque. The IDF has not commented on the incident.
The Zioneer first reported on the incident at 15:56 Jerusalem, when Lebanese sources reported explosions in Tebnine. Over the following hour, casualty figures fluctuated: initial reports of 7 wounded, then 9, then 12, before settling at 11 wounded with one killed. The target was initially described as a mosque, but the NNA later clarified it was a prayer room in the cemetery. The source quality evolved from unverified local reports to the official state-run agency, which is the authoritative source for this information.
The strike is part of a broader IDF campaign in southern Lebanon targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, the Lebanese Health Ministry reported 15 killed in strikes across the region on Tuesday. The IDF has not commented on today's specific incident.
The casualty figures remain unverified by independent sources. The affiliation of the deceased and wounded has not been disclosed. The IDF has not issued a statement.
