Israel carried out intense air strikes on southern Lebanon early on Saturday, killing one person, wounding seven and briefly cutting a highway that linked Beirut with southern parts of the country, the Health Ministry said.
The predawn air strikes on the village of Msayleh struck a place that sold heavy machinery, destroying a large number of vehicles.
A vehicle carrying vegetables that happened to be passing by at the time of the strikes was hit, killing one person and wounding another, according to Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV.
The Health Ministry later said that the one slain was a Syrian citizen, while the wounded were a Syrian national and six Lebanese, including two women.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned Israel on Saturday for carrying out strikes on civilian facilities.
