DUBAI: An Israeli military raid in southern Lebanon early Thursday killed a municipal employee in the border town of Blida, according to the Lebanese National News Agency.
The agency said Israeli forces, backed by armored vehicles and ATVs, crossed more than a kilometer into Lebanese territory and stormed the Blida municipality building around 1:30 a.m., where employee Ibrahim Salameh was sleeping. He was killed inside the premises.
Residents told local media they heard screams and cries for help during the raid, which lasted until about 4:00 a.m., before Israeli troops withdrew. The Lebanese Army later entered the site, and Civil Defense teams transported Salameh’s body to a nearby hospital.
The Israeli military said it is investigating the incident.
