The death toll of the Israeli massacre in the southern Lebanese village of Tefahta has risen to 19 civilian martyrs, including women and children, all belonging to a single family, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the South said.
This comes as the Israeli aggression on South Lebanon continues violently targeting civilians and homes.
On Wednesday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported Israeli airstrikes on the towns of Bazourieh and Mahmoudieh, the outskirts of Kfar Roummane and Blat, and Khiam, Arabsalim, and Taybeh.
Moreover, al-Basatin, located in the vicinity of al-Qasimiyeh, came under Israeli fire as well. A series of airstrikes was also launched against the ancient city of Tyre, South Lebanon.
The Civil Defense - the al-Risala Association for Health Relief patrolled the streets of Tyre, urging citizens through loudspeakers to evacuate immediately, following threats from the Israeli military spokesperson Avichai Adraee to bomb a vast residential area in the city.
