Beirut, March 20 (QNA) - Several people were injured in Israeli airstrikes targeting multiple areas in southern Lebanon Friday, according to the National News Agency.

The strikes hit towns including Bafliyeh and Hanine in the Tyre and Bint Jbeil districts, alongside artillery shelling across western and central sectors. Additional raids targeted areas between Aba and Qusaybah, as well as other nearby localities.

The escalation comes as the death toll from Israeli strikes on Lebanon since early March has risen to 1,001 killed and 2,584 wounded. (QNA)
