A young Lebanese woman was killed Thursday by an Israeli airstrike — two days after her wedding — in Lebanon’s southern town of Arabsalim, according to the country’s National News Agency (NNA).
Israeli warplanes struck the home of Saja Moussa Sharara in southern Lebanon’s Iqlim al-Tuffah district, killing her instantly and injuring several others, NNA reported.
Sharara had celebrated her wedding only 48 hours earlier, NNA said.
Minutes later, Israeli warplanes carried out a second strike on the same village, causing additional injuries among local residents, according to the news agency.
Since early March, Israel has continued to carry out wide-ranging attacks on southern Lebanon, claiming it is targeting Hezbollah.
Hezbollah has responded by attacking Israeli forces that continue to occupy Lebanese territory.
