Beirut/Jerusalem, November 19 (Xinhua) — At least 13 people were killed and several others wounded on Tuesday evening in an Israeli airstrike on the Ain el-Hilweh refugee camp in the southern Lebanese city of Saida, the Lebanese Health Ministry said.
According to local television channel Al-Manar, the Israeli airstrike hit a densely populated area in Ain al-Hilweh.
The TV channel reported that while ambulances were transporting the injured to hospitals, Israeli warplanes continued to fly at low altitude over the camp.
The Israeli military, for its part, said the strike targeted militants “operating at a Hamas training base” in the Ain al-Hilweh area, adding that the site was used to plan and carry out attacks on Israeli troops.
“The IDF is conducting an operation against the Hamas presence in Lebanon and will continue to operate against Hamas terrorists wherever they operate,” the statement said. –0–
