Israel’s attacks on various areas of Lebanon, including the Bekaa Valley and Ain al-Hilweh, have left 10 people dead and dozens more wounded. Earlier, Israeli forces launched an attack on the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp in Sidon, southern Lebanon, killing two people and wounding others. The official Lebanese National News Agency reported that an Israeli drone targeted Hattin neighborhood in the Ain al-Hilweh camp, adjacent to the city of Sidon. The Israeli army claimed in a statement that it attacked a Hamas command center operating in the Ain al-Hilweh camp, alleging that the strikes were in response to repeated violations of the ceasefire understandings. Israeli forces had previously launched strikes on the camp on November 22, resulting in the deaths of 13 people, including children.
