Israeli Airstrike Kills Lebanese Soldier, Wounds 20 in Southern Lebanon

Beirut, May 27 (Petra)– The Lebanese Army announced on Wednesday
evening that one of its soldiers was killed in an Israeli airstrike
targeting the Kfarman–Khardali road in the Nabatieh district of
southern Lebanon.

A Lebanese security source told Jordan’s Petra News Agency
correspondent in Beirut that at least 20 people were injured, some
critically, after Israeli warplanes struck the Al-Bass Palestinian
refugee camp in the southern city of Tyre on Wednesday evening.

The source added that Tyre is witnessing heavy displacement toward
the city of Sidon following Israeli warnings urging residents of
southern Lebanon particularly those in Tyre to evacuate north of
the Zahrani River.

According to the source, Israeli airstrikes are continuing across the
city of Nabatieh and surrounding towns, as well as the town of Adchit
in the Marjayoun district.

Meanwhile, the Lebanese Ministry of Health said in a statement that
the cumulative death toll from the ongoing Israeli offensive since
March 2 has risen to 3,269 people killed and 9,840 wounded as of May
27.
