Israeli forces carried out an airstrike against the town of Kfar Jouz in southern Lebanon today, hitting two motorcycles that were traveling along the road to the nearby town of Nabatieh. At least three civilians were reported killed in the strike, including a child.
Rescue workers rushed to the scene of the attack, and rescued at least three people who were injured in the strike. Israel did not indicate why they attacked the target, though they generally attack any still-functional motorcycles in southern Lebanon.
Early indications are that the wounded civilians were traveling in a nearby car at the time of the attack, and simply got caught up in the strike. Reports are still going to circulate about the escalation assuming Israel doesn’t decide to offer a comment on the matter.
This is the first deadly attack on Lebanon since Israel carried out a drone strike Tuesday against a Hezbollah commander in the eastern Bekaa Valley. They also attacked Nabatieh on Tuesday, and wounded at least eight people there.
Israel has been carrying out strikes on a nearly daily basis in recent months, and is talking about the prospect of invading Lebanon outright over Hezbollah’s presence in the country’s south.
The talk of an imminent invasion has been ongoing for months, despite international efforts to try to broker a deal to calm tensions along the frontier. Hezbollah has said they would agree to a ceasefire so long as there is a comparable ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Hey, hey USA! How many kids have you killed today?!….
Complicit much?!
"…despite international efforts to try to broker a deal to calm tensions." On behalf of the entire Antiwar community, Thank You from the bottom of our A$$. I can't imagine what would happen if you tried NOT "to broker a deal to calm tensions."
If Lebanon does not want people to die in their country, why allows Hezbollah to fire on Israel? Consider this, admitting I have not done the math, but I suspect that for each pound of explosives fired at Israel by Hezbollah, Israel drops 10 times that amount on Lebanon.
Where is Israel ? What are its borders ?
good job shooting up a couple of motorbikes.

Israel seems truly engaged in escalation and that means the US covers their backside. Escalation is Strongly advised against! Lebanon as well!
If Hezbollah is a "terrorist" group, then so too are all the US troops placed all around the globe "protecting" America's allies!
