The strike targeted the area of Hosh al-Sayyed Ali in the Hermel district of eastern Lebanon, according to the health ministry statement. Rescue operations quickly transported the injured individuals to local hospitals for treatment. The ministry has not released further details on the victims’ conditions or any potential affiliations at this time.
Israeli forces described the operation as a precise aerial strike aimed at a specific target on the Lebanon-Syria border, reports from Israeli news outlets indicated. The military has not confirmed or denied the reported injuries from the Lebanese side. This marks one of several incidents reported in the eastern region over the past week.
The event unfolds despite a US-brokered framework agreement intended to halt cross-border hostilities, an Anadolu Agency dispatch reported. The deal calls for Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon in phases and the Lebanese army taking over security responsibilities. Lebanese sources have logged multiple alleged ceasefire violations since the pact was signed in June 2026.
Cumulative figures from the health ministry place the overall death toll from the conflict at more than 2,000 with over 6,700 wounded since the escalation began in August 2025. The data breaks down to show significant numbers of civilian casualties including women and children. The ministry has highlighted the impact on medical infrastructure in its periodic updates.
At least six hospitals have been forced to close due to damage sustained in the bombardment, a ministry official told Kurdistan24. The official also noted that 88 health workers have been killed and 195 injured during the conflict. These conditions have strained the country’s ability to respond to emergencies in border areas.
The health ministry continues to document such incidents as part of its monitoring of the security situation across Lebanon.
