• Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon kill one Syrian national and injure seven others.
• The strikes targeted heavy machinery yards, destroying over 300 vehicles.
• Lebanese President condemns the attacks as blatant aggression against civilians.

Early on Saturday, Israel conducted air strikes in the village of Msayleh, southern Lebanon, resulting in one death and seven injuries, according to local health officials. The victims included a Syrian citizen, with the others comprising six Lebanese nationals, including two women. The strikes, which hit a machinery yard, also briefly closed a key highway linking Beirut and southern Lebanon, exacerbating tensions in the region, according to South China Morning Post and Los Angeles Times.

The Israeli military confirmed targeting the site, claiming it was instrumental in Hezbollah's infrastructure rebuilding efforts after the recent conflict. In total, over 300 vehicles, including bulldozers and excavators, were reported destroyed, leading to significant financial losses, according to Al Jazeera and TRT.

This recent bombardment has drawn condemnation from Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, who labeled the strikes as "a heinous aggression against civilian installations." He emphasized the troubling timing of the attacks, coming just after a ceasefire in Gaza, which had provided a fragile respite from ongoing conflicts in the region, according to TRT and Anadolu Agency.

Since the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah escalated, reports indicate that more than 4,000 people have been killed in Lebanon alone, including many civilians, with damages estimated at approximately $11 billion. The situation remains precarious as international calls for lasting peace continue, with the U.N. human rights chief noting that at least 103 civilians have died in Lebanon since the ceasefire began, as reported by NPR and Anadolu Agency.
