Lebanese official media said an Israeli air strike Sunday had destroyed a mosque in the war-torn south, the latest attack as Israel intensified its bombardment campaign on the country in recent weeks.
“At around 3:45 am (1245 GMT), enemy aircraft carried out an airstrike targeting the old mosque in the center of the village of Kfar Tibnit, destroying it,” the National News Agency reported.
Village mayor Fuad Yassin told newsmen the village, located about eight kilometres from the border, had lost a beloved site that brought people together.
Yassin said, “It was a significant place because families used to gather in the square right next to it on special occasions,” adding that the mosque was at least 100 years old.
