Beirut, April 23 (QNA) - Three people were killed, including a journalist who later died from her injuries, and two others were wounded following two airstrikes carried out by Israeli warplanes in southern Lebanon.

The Emergency Operations Center of Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health said in a statement that an Israeli strike on the town of Yahmar Al Shaqif in the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon resulted in the deaths of two people and the injury of two others.

A Lebanese journalist also died from her wounds after Israeli forces prevented an ambulance from reaching her following an earlier strike.

In a previous statement, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health reported that Israeli warplanes had carried out two airstrikes on the town of Tayri in the Bint Jbeil district in southern Lebanon, killing two people and injuring journalist Zeinab Faraj, while efforts were still ongoing to rescue journalist Amal Khalil from under the rubble.

The ministry added that Israeli forces pursued Khalil and her colleague Zeinab Faraj after they took shelter from the first strike in a nearby house, targeting the home they had fled to. When the Lebanese Red Cross arrived to evacuate the wounded, Israeli forces obstructed the humanitarian mission by throwing a stun grenade at the ambulance and firing at it, preventing them from retrieving Khalil, while Faraj and the bodies of the two victims were transported to the hospital.
