Eleven Syrians, including six children, were injured in an Israeli bombing raid on the town of Maaroub in the Tyre district of southern Lebanon.
The Lebanese National News Agency reported on Sunday, August 11, that an Israeli airstrike on Maaroub left 12 people injured, including 11 Syrians and one Lebanese citizen.
According to the agency and the Ministry of Health’s Public Health Operations Center, there are two critical cases: a woman and a five-month-old Syrian girl.
Among the other injured Syrian children are two girls aged five and seven, a twelve-year-old girl and two boys aged eleven.
The bombing of Maaroub is part of an ongoing escalation and mutual shelling between the Lebanese Hezbollah and the Israeli army following the Israeli war on Gaza following the Hamas movement’s Al-Aqsa flooding operation against Israel on October 7, 2023.
Southern Lebanon, and especially the border areas, bore the brunt of Israeli bombing, whether through artillery and rocket fire or through Israeli airstrikes and drone attacks.
In recent hours, Hezbollah said it had attacked the recently constructed headquarters of the Israeli army’s 146th Division with Katyusha rockets, while Israeli warplanes responded by bombing the town of Sheheen in southern Lebanon.
In recent months, several Syrians living in the region have been killed or injured in Israeli bombing raids on Lebanon.
On August 1, an Israeli airstrike on the area between the towns of Shamaa and Tayr Harfa killed three people and injured five others.
According to the Lebanese broadcaster Al Jadeed, five Syrians from one family were killed in the bombing – a mother and her four children.
On July 20, four Syrian girls were injured in an Israeli bomb attack on a car in the Khiyam Plain in southern Lebanon.
On July 17, five Syrians, including three children, were killed in an Israeli bombing raid on two towns in southern Lebanon.
The bombing targeted a location in the city of Umm al-Tut in southern Lebanon and resulted in the deaths of three Syrian children, according to the National News Agency.
An Israeli drone attack on a motorcycle on the Kfar Tibnit-Khardaly road also resulted in the deaths of two young Syrian men.
