BEIRUT (AA) – Israeli fighter jets on Friday shelled towns in southern Lebanon, resulting in casualties, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.
According to the news agency, Israeli warplanes bombed the towns of Najjarieh and Aaddousiyyeh in Deir El Zahrani in the Sidon district.
The ambulances rushed to both towns, the media outlet reported, without providing information on the number of casualties and destruction caused by Israeli warplanes.
Tensions have risen along Lebanon's border with Israel amid cross-border attacks between Hezbollah and Israeli forces, as Tel Aviv presses ahead with its deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 35,300 people since last October following a Hamas attack.
