An Israeli airstrike on the town of Younine in northeastern Lebanon has resulted in a tragic loss of life, with the death toll rising to 23 individuals. The victims were all members of a Syrian family, including women and children, who were day-laborers along with their wives and children. The strike, which occurred around midnight on Thursday, targeted a building near a gas station, leaving eight others injured, including the Lebanese owner of the building.
The mayor of Younine, Ali Al-Kassas, confirmed that the Syrians were renting the building and stated that he was not aware of any connections to Hezbollah. In a display of resilience, municipal authorities managed to rescue a young boy from the rubble following an overnight effort.
