Israeli attack on Palestinian refugee camp kills 13 in deadliest violation since Lebanon truce

At least 13 people were killed and many others severely injured after Israeli forces attacked a densely populated Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, marking the deadliest strike since Israel and Hezbollah reached a ceasefire last year.

A drone strike targeted a car parking at the Ain al-Hilweh camp on the outskirts of the coastal city of Saida at 9.20pm local time and three missiles then hit the nearby Khalid bin Al-Walid Mosque and the Khalid bin Al-Walid Centre, trapping many people under the rubble, the state-run National News Agency said.
