The Israeli occupation forces had bombed a residential building in the southern Lebanese city of Sidon in a massacre that an Al Mayadeen correspondent witnessed, saying "children are torn into pieces" while breaking down crying live on air.
As Israeli hostilities escalated throughout Sunday night and into Monday, a Lebanese soldier succumbed to his injuries following an Israeli drone strike that targeted a motorcycle near a Lebanese Army checkpoint in the al-Wazzani area. The Lebanese Army confirmed in a statement that the soldier was fatally wounded in the strike while patrolling at the al-Omra-Wazzani checkpoint.
Meanwhile, the al-Khardali area is currently under heavy Israeli bombardment, further intensifying the ongoing aggression in southern Lebanon.
Separately, Israeli forces have committed two massacres in the city of Hermel, northern Lebanon in recent hours. An Israeli drone also launched three airstrikes on the intersection of al-Khiam and al-Wazzani towns, as well as the outskirts of Sarda, killing two more individuals and leaving several others injured.
Hours earlier, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance movement Hamas mourned the assassination of one of its prominent leaders in Lebanon, Fathi Sharif, also known as Abu al-Amin, who was killed alongside his wife, son, and daughter in an Israeli airstrike that targeted their home in the Al-Buss refugee camp in southern Lebanon.
