Beirut [Lebanon], April 14: At least six people have been killed in a new wave of Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon, state media reports, as the Israeli military claims to have surrounded a main town there.
The state-run National News Agency (NNA) said one person was killed and nine others injured when fighter jets attacked the town of Bazouriyeh.
Elsewhere, Israeli air strikes killed one person in the town of Nabatiyeh El Faouqa and three others in the towns of Sir el Gharbiyeh and Choukine.
NNA said Israeli warplanes struck a centre of the International Committee of the Red Cross in the city of Tyre. One person injured in the attack was later pronounced dead. Several Red Cross vehicles were damaged.
Also in Tyre, the news agency said several people were killed in an air strike on an orchard, without providing a specific number.
Israeli artillery shelling was reported in the towns of Haniyeh, Qlaileh, Mansouri, Bayt Yahun, Tayr Harfa, Majdal Zoun, and Sama'ah in the south.
The Israeli army said it will have full operational control of the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil within days, after claiming to have killed more than 100 Hezbollah fighters there over the past week in air strikes and "face-to-face" confrontations.
The announcement marks a significant advance in Israel's ongoing invasion of southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah said it has been engaged for days in fighting with Israeli forces in Bint Jbeil, 5km (3 miles) from the Israeli border. The town has long been both a symbolic and strategic flashpoint in confrontations between Israeli forces and the Iranian-backed group.
