Lebanese Child Dies of Injuries After Israeli Drone Strike
BEIRUT (Dispatches) – A Lebanese child died Wednesday of his injuries sustained from an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon last week, local media said. The state news agency NNA said Wajih Zuhay, 7, sustained critical head injuries on Jan. 29 in a drone strike in the southern town of Majdal Selm and breathed his last on Wednesday. Several homes were also burned by Zionist troops in the town of Rab Thalathin in southern Lebanon, NNA said, adding that several home demolitions were also reported in Yaron town. A fragile ceasefire has been in place since Nov. 27, ending a period of mutual shelling between the regime and Hezbollah that began on Oct. 8, 2023 and escalated into a full-scale conflict on Sept. 23 last year.
