BEIRUT, June 14 (YPA) – The death toll from an Israeli occupation airstrike that targeted the Al-Ghobeiry area in Beirut’s southern suburbs on Sunday has risen to three people, with 15 others reported injured, according to updated figures from Lebanese authorities.

Lebanese media said search-and-rescue operations remain ongoing at the strike site, where emergency teams continue clearing rubble from damaged buildings.

The Israeli attack also caused extensive destruction to nearby residential and commercial properties.
