Israeli airstrike on Palestinian refugee camp kills 13, says Lebanon

Thirteen people have been killed and several others injured in an Israeli airstrike on the Ein el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese health officials and state media. The Israeli military stated it targeted militants operating in a training compound within the camp, alleging the facility was used by Hamas to carry out attacks on Israel. Hamas denied these claims, asserting the strike hit a sports field used by residents and that there are no military establishments in refugee camps in Lebanon. This incident marks the deadliest strike on Lebanon since the ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah a year ago, and comes amid ongoing tensions and previous Israeli airstrikes targeting officials from Hezbollah and other Palestinian factions.
