The death toll from an Israeli strike on a Christian-majority village in northern Lebanon has tragically risen to 21, with eight individuals reported injured, as confirmed by the Health Ministry.
The Health Ministry has indicated that these numbers are preliminary and that DNA tests are currently underway to identify the remains that have been recovered from the site of the strike.
The strike, which occurred on Monday, resulted in the complete destruction of a building that was sheltering individuals who had fled Israeli bombardment in southern Lebanon, according to a statement from an organization familiar with the situation.
This devastating incident highlights the ongoing conflict in the region and the toll it is taking on innocent civilians. The loss of lives and the injuries sustained serve as a stark reminder of the human cost of such military actions.
Efforts are being made to provide support and assistance to those affected by this tragedy, and investigations are likely to continue to determine the circumstances surrounding the strike and to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives in this senseless act of violence, and we hope for a swift recovery for those who were injured.
