Israeli Airstrike Destroys Historic Mosque in Lebanon

IQNA – A historic mosque in southern Lebanon was completely destroyed in an Israeli regime airstrike on Sunday.

In a series of pre-dawn air strikes, Israeli warplanes targeted multiple locations in southern Lebanon, causing significant destruction, according to the Lebanese National News Agency.

At approximately 3:45 a.m., an air strike levelled the historic old mosque in the center of the town of Kfar Tibnit, completely destroying the structure, the agency reported.

Earlier, at around 12:15 a.m., another air strike targeted a three-story building next to Ghabris station on the Zefta-Nabatieh highway, also destroying it, it added.

The strike caused the closure of the road as debris from the building blocked access. The same building had been previously struck in an air raid a week earlier, partially damaging it.

A third air strike was carried out at approximately 1:30 a.m., this time targeting the town of Aita al-Shaab.

No further details on casualties or additional damage were immediately available.

The Israeli regime has markedly intensified its attacks against the country since October 7, 2023, when it launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has responded with numerous strikes against the occupied Palestinian territories as a means of both retaliating against the regime and displaying support for the war-hit Gazans.
