A resident of the area said, “In a moment, we heard the sound of military aircraft and three consecutive strikes. We headed to the targeted location and were surprised by the large number of civilians, including children and women, and the extent of the destruction that affected the building and its surroundings.” The resident urged the Lebanese Prime Minister “to visit the site, inspect it, and not remain silent about what happened.”

The hospital director, Dr. Hassan Wazna, stated that “after the airstrike, the hospital received six injuries, four of which were children and two women.” He added, “One child was injured in the head, underwent surgery, and is in stable condition. Another child, aged 12, was injured in the abdomen and hip, with internal bleeding stopped and his condition deemed acceptable. A woman was injured in the lung, and necessary procedures were performed to remove the shrapnel, while another woman sustained a head injury that did not require surgical intervention, and the remaining cases are stable.”

In the same context, the Health Emergency Operations Center of the Ministry of Public Health announced that the Israeli airstrike on the Kassar Zaatar area in the city of Nabatieh resulted, according to the final tally, in injuring 12 citizens, including four children, two of whom are in critical condition, and seven women.

The Israeli army announced today, Tuesday, September 16, that it began advancing towards the city of Gaza to liberate Israeli hostages, according to their statement.

The city of Gaza witnessed the most violent Israeli attacks last night, Monday/early Tuesday morning, as Israel launched an intense attack on the city, preparing for the ground operation in the city. According to local media, Israeli daily airstrikes continue as usual, targeting towers and residential buildings in Gaza City.
