A new massacre perpetrated by the Israeli occupation regime has left 13 civilians dead in the Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in Saida, Lebanon, marking a serious escalation of tensions and a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024.
According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, the Israeli occupation launched an airstrike on a parking lot in the camp, which resulted in a significant number of casualties. According to updates by the Lebanese Ministry of Health, the death toll now stands at 13 martyrs, pending finalization.
This is the first act of aggression of its kind to target the camp since the so-called ceasefire last year.
The Israeli occupation's assault on Lebanon continues unabated amid absolute impunity and lack of accountability, despite Beirut's full compliance with the provisions of the ceasefire.
The attack on Ain al-Hilweh marks the third on Lebanon today, with two drone strikes previously targeting vehicles in Blida and Bint Jbeil, which killed two civilians in total. This raises the death toll on November 18, 2025, to 15 civilians killed by "Israel".
Spiral of continuous aggression
Over the past few days alone, Israeli forces have carried out a series of attacks across southern and eastern Lebanon.
Some of the Israeli attacks are as follows:
On November 17, the principal of the Mansouri Public School, Mohammad Shuweikh, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on the town in the Tyre district, South Lebanon, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent.
An Israeli Merkava tank fired on UNIFIL personnel near an Israeli-built position inside Lebanese territory, the UN's peacekeeping force in Lebanon reported on November 16.
On November 13, 2025, an Israeli drone struck a vehicle in Toul (Nabatieh), injuring one civilian. That same day, warplanes bombed the western outskirts of Tayr Felsay, and a second air strike hit the same area later that night.
In eastern Lebanon, on November 10, 2025, Israeli warplanes carried out three air raids on the Shaara Heights and the outskirts of Janta (in the Bekaa region), while simultaneously a drone struck the road between al-Dawra and al-Maali in Hermel.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent also reported that one person was martyred following an Israeli drone strike targeting a vehicle on the highway opposite the town of al-Baysariyeh, in the Saida district of South Lebanon.
On November 9, two Lebanese citizens were killed in two separate Israeli attacks on South Lebanon. The first was killed in an Israeli drone strike that targeted a car in the town of Houmine al-Fawqa in the Nabatieh district, while the second was killed in an Israeli drone strike with three missiles on a pickup truck between the towns of al-Suwwaneh and Khirbet Selem in the Nabatieh Governorate.
One of the most gruesome violations was an Israeli raid on the Blida municipality building, in which occupation soldiers executed the mayor in his sleep.
